Chapter 284

Leanna felt slightly awkward by his words as she flushed. "I'm not a kid, so I don't need company!" As she said that, she continued, "Okay. That's enough chit-chat. Bye."

Then, she quickly added, "Good night."

After Leanna hung up the phone, Aidan finally put down the phone slowly with a faint smile on his thin lips.

At that moment, a young woman walked over and stood behind him. "President Pearson, the doctor just said that the child's high fever has subsided and he's now fast asleep."

Aidan affirmed and walked into the bedroom next door.

The doctor had just left the room and Naomi was seated inside next to the bassinet with a pained look in her eyes.

After quite some time, Aidan mentioned slowly, "It's just a common cold and fever. It's normal."

Naomi heaved a silent sigh as she thought, The poor kid has been weaker than the other kids since he was born and he was sick throughout the first two months of being born. Honestly, he has been a cause for worry. Compared to before, his condition has definitely improved significantly.

She glanced at the bassinet and noticed that the little guy was not sleeping restfully. With a fever patch on his forehead, he looked quite tiny.

Then, she replied, "How long are you going to keep this hidden from Leanna?"

Aidan stood by the side with one hand tucked into his pocket and he pursed his thin lips before saying, "It won't be for too long."

In response, Naomi said, "Anyway, just be wary of your actions. I won't stand by you and help you convince her by then. After all, this is entirely your fault."

Aidan maintained his silence at that.

Subsequently, she turned to look at him. "Everything is sorted here, so you should go home."

Soon, Aidan's voice rang out. "Sienna is looking for you."

As soon as Naomi heard that, she was slightly taken aback. Soon enough, her expression turned indifferent. "Why is she after me?"

Aidan retracted his gaze and turned to look in a different direction before replying calmly, "She's most likely trying to make use of my identity as an illegitimate son to cause a commotion once again."

Instantly, Naomi's expression changed. "Aidan, back then, it wasn't—"

"I don't care about the truth of what happened back then," Aidan coldly exclaimed, "I just want her to pay the price for her actions."


"What should I do to help you achieve that?"

…

The ruckus created by Carlile was now completely resolved. Not only was the studio unaffected, but their popularity also soared from that. There were many popular jewelry bloggers who initiated contact and wanted to collaborate with them on some advertisements.

Furthermore, Lux Jewelry also released a magazine issue showcasing their latest designs.

In less than two weeks, the orders received by the studio increased steadily.

Zoe was exhausted as she slumped on the couch. "There are way too many orders and Louis has gone back to school. It looks like we'd need to hire another staff member."

Leanna organized the orders while replying, "Don't worry. I've advertised on the internet and someone is coming in tomorrow for an interview."

Zoe perked up immediately upon hearing that. "Is that true?"

Leanne nodded and was about to reply when she noticed an envelope amongst the pile of orders.

She removed the envelope from the pile and opened it. As soon as she took a look at it, her expression instantly changed.

Not getting a response from Leanne, Zoe conveniently turned around to take a look at her. "Nana, what's wrong?"

Leanna put down the envelope and shook her head. "Everything's fine. It's late now, so let's head home."

Zoe instantly leaped up from the couch. "Sure."

On the way back, Zoe mentioned, "Hey, by the way, why haven't that low… Why hasn't President Pearson been here to see you lately?"

"Previously, he was busy dealing with the matters of Crossley Group; last week, he went on a business trip abroad, so he's not back yet."

Zoe could not help teasing Leanna, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder, huh?"

Leanna remained silent by the side and she seemed to be preoccupied with her thoughts.

Zoe felt that she was behaving strangely; Leanna would have felt embarrassed and chided her to stop had she made that joke back then.

Yet today, Leanna did not react to her words at all.

Zoe asked probingly, "Nana, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Meanwhile, Leanna came back to her senses and massaged her temples. "I feel kind of dizzy."

"Do you want me to get you some medication?"

"No, I'll go home to take a nap. I should be fine after that."

In response, Zoe said, "Okay. I'll drive faster."

As soon as they arrived back home, Leanna did not even brush her teeth as she went straight into her room.

As for Zoe, she scratched her head questioningly and poured herself a glass of water.

Inside the room, Leanna sat in front of her work desk and took out the envelope from her bag, which revealed several photos… and an extortion letter.

As soon as she saw the photos, her face turned as pale as a sheet and her fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

Three years ago, she had been forcefully sent to Patheon Club. After her frantic struggles, she bumped into Aidan after escaping the room.

However, she did not expect that very scene to be captured in photos.

In the extortion letter, the other party had stated that she was to prepare five million and send it to the specified address.

Taking a deep breath, Leanna inserted the photos back into the envelope.
