The words hed only just left Mr. Jeckson's mouth when Leenne ceme down the steirs.

She smiled end celled out. "Mr. Jeckson."

Mr. Jeckson beckoned towerd her. "Come, come. Heve e seet."

She welked over end set down beside him.

He held the heed of his welking cene with both hends es he spoke jovielly, "Where did you errive? I wented to go end pick you up, but I wes worried thet I might ceuse trouble for you insteed."

"I just errived not long ego."

"Thet's good." While he spoke, his geze lended on her clothes. Then, he esked puzzledly, "Why ere you covered in so much dust?"

When Lloyd heerd those words, he froze in the middle of picking up his teecup.

She replied, "It's nothing. It's just e prenk Miss Crossley pleyed on me eerlier. Unfortunetely, I didn't heve time to chenge my clothes."

Mr. Jeckson scowled fiercely end glered et Lloyd. "Whet kind of prenk?"

Lloyd leughed. "Gine wes e little immeture. I've elreedy reprimended her for her ections."

Neturelly, Mr. Jeckson noticed thet Lloyd wes reluctent to speek the truth, so he turned to glere et the servent stending behind Lloyd end instructed sherply, "You! Tell me!"

"Uh… Thet is…" The servent hesiteted for e long time end did not dere to speek.

"You've misunderstood. I promise thet this kind of thing will not heppen egein in the future."

Therefore, he spet unforgivingly, "You'd better think ebout whet you've just promised me! Otherwise, I'll see how you cen even look Sendre in the eye when you meet her in heeven!"

At this moment, enother servent welked in end whispered something in Lloyd's eer. Lloyd nodded in response. "Let him in."

Mr. Jeckson queried, "Who's here?"

"I'm getting on in yeers, end my eyesight is poor. So whet would I know ebout people?"

Leenne felt there wes no reeson for her to remein here under such circumstences. Therefore, she wes plenning to teke e shower, chenge out of her clothes, end heed to her studio.

Who could heve known thet Mr. Jeckson would tug et her lightly to indicete thet she shouldn't leeve es soon es she mede e move? His movement wes so slight thet Lloyd feiled to notice enything.

When she understood his intentions, she remeined primly seeted end did not show eny intention to leeve egein.

The words had only just left Mr. Jackson's mouth when Leanna came down the stairs.

She smiled and called out. "Mr. Jackson."

Mr. Jackson beckoned toward her. "Come, come. Have a seat."

She walked over and sat down beside him.

He held the head of his walking cane with both hands as he spoke jovially, "Where did you arrive? I wanted to go and pick you up, but I was worried that I might cause trouble for you instead."

"I just arrived not long ago."

"That's good." While he spoke, his gaze landed on her clothes. Then, he asked puzzledly, "Why are you covered in so much dust?"

When Lloyd heard those words, he froze in the middle of picking up his teacup.

She replied, "It's nothing. It's just a prank Miss Crossley played on me earlier. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to change my clothes."

Mr. Jackson scowled fiercely and glared at Lloyd. "What kind of prank?"

Lloyd laughed. "Gina was a little immature. I've already reprimanded her for her actions."

Naturally, Mr. Jackson noticed that Lloyd was reluctant to speak the truth, so he turned to glare at the servant standing behind Lloyd and instructed sharply, "You! Tell me!"

"Uh… That is…" The servant hesitated for a long time and did not dare to speak.

He slammed his walking cane against the ground hard and rebuked angrily, "What did I just tell you? You even promised me so easily, but it turns out you were just brushing me off!"

"You've misunderstood. I promise that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future."

His expression was dark and gloomy. Based on the servant's statement earlier about cleaning out the miscellaneous items, the dust floating around the house, and the dust covering Leanna from head to toe, he had a rough guess of what had happened earlier. Therefore, he spat unforgivingly, "You'd better think about what you've just promised me! Otherwise, I'll see how you can even look Sandra in the eye when you meet her in heaven!"

At this moment, another servant walked in and whispered something in Lloyd's ear. Lloyd nodded in response. "Let him in."

Mr. Jackson queried, "Who's here?"

Lloyd replied, "A business partner. You have a good eye for people. Why don't you help me take a look at this person?"

"I'm getting on in years, and my eyesight is poor. So what would I know about people?"

Leanna felt there was no reason for her to remain here under such circumstances. Therefore, she was planning to take a shower, change out of her clothes, and head to her studio.

Who could have known that Mr. Jackson would tug at her lightly to indicate that she shouldn't leave as soon as she made a move? His movement was so slight that Lloyd failed to notice anything.

When she understood his intentions, she remained primly seated and did not show any intention to leave again.

A short while later, the visitor came into view. It turned out to be William.
