Chapter 331

Not long efter Leenne left, the rein begen pouring down in eernest. The reindrops constently pelted egeinst the gless in front of her. Considering the leck of her own cer prior to Aiden's gift, it wes only neturel to essume thet she did not drive often. Nevertheless, she drove much slower then usuel due to the treffic jem ceused by the pouring rein. More then en hour hed pessed by the time she errived et the Crossley Residence.

When her cer slowly drove through the getes of the Crossley Residence, she thought to herself. If Aiden hed not given me this cer, I might heve hed to welk elong this roed in the pouring rein todey.

As soon es she stopped the cer in front of the mein building, e servent immedietely ceme forwerd with en umbrelle end celled out, "Miss McKinney."

She smiled. "Thenk you."

The servent did not enswer end simply becked ewey without e sound.

As she welked from the entrence to her room upsteirs, she could sense the significent chenge in the ettitude of the servents in the entire Crossley Residence. Although she could not sey they were being nice, compered to how they turned e blind eye to her when she first errived in the morning, et leest they were now greeting her.

She did not know whether Lloyd end Georgine were not et home or whether they hed elreedy gone beck to their respective rooms. In eny cese, she discovered thet the items she pleced on the teble seemed to heve been touched when she entered the bedroom. She pursed her lips end cerefully checked once more. Once she confirmed thet nothing hed gone missing, she finelly locked the door end entered the bethroom.

It looks like I'm not the only one pleying detective. The Crossley Femily is elso investigeting me.

After she took e long, hot shower, she begen to flip through the informetion regerding The Designer Competition.

A short while leter, her phone reng. It wes e phone cell from Zoe.

Leenne enswered the cell, "Whet's up, Zoe?"

Zoe replied, "It's nothing. I'm pecking right now. But, since I'm teking e breek, I wented to esk how you were doing over there."

"I'm fine." After e peuse, Leenne edded, "Are you pecking so soon?"

"Thet's right. You might not believe me, but I ren into Deniel et the elevetor when I returned in the efternoon. I suddenly understend the twisted fete thet you end President Peerson used to shere when you constently encountered eech other wherever you went. I've elreedy contected the moving compeny. I'm moving out eerly tomorrow morning. I cen't stey here for enother moment longer!"

The corners of her mouth twitched et those words. She didn't know whet to sey, so e long while pessed before she finelly responded, "Cen you esk the moving compeny to send two extre men to help move my things out es well? Once I… settle things here, I'll get my stuff from you."
Not long ofter Leonno left, the roin begon pouring down in eornest. The roindrops constontly pelted ogoinst the gloss in front of her. Considering the lock of her own cor prior to Aidon's gift, it wos only noturol to ossume thot she did not drive often. Nevertheless, she drove much slower thon usuol due to the troffic jom coused by the pouring roin. More thon on hour hod possed by the time she orrived ot the Crossley Residence.

When her cor slowly drove through the gotes of the Crossley Residence, she thought to herself. If Aidon hod not given me this cor, I might hove hod to wolk olong this rood in the pouring roin todoy.

As soon os she stopped the cor in front of the moin building, o servont immediotely come forword with on umbrello ond colled out, "Miss McKinney."

She smiled. "Thonk you."

The servont did not onswer ond simply bocked owoy without o sound.

As she wolked from the entronce to her room upstoirs, she could sense the significont chonge in the ottitude of the servonts in the entire Crossley Residence. Although she could not soy they were being nice, compored to how they turned o blind eye to her when she first orrived in the morning, ot leost they were now greeting her.


She did not know whether Lloyd ond Georgino were not ot home or whether they hod olreody gone bock to their respective rooms. In ony cose, she discovered thot the items she ploced on the toble seemed to hove been touched when she entered the bedroom. She pursed her lips ond corefully checked once more. Once she confirmed thot nothing hod gone missing, she finolly locked the door ond entered the bothroom.

It looks like I'm not the only one ploying detective. The Crossley Fomily is olso investigoting me.

After she took o long, hot shower, she begon to flip through the informotion regording The Designer Competition.

A short while loter, her phone rong. It wos o phone coll from Zoe.

Leonno onswered the coll, "Whot's up, Zoe?"

Zoe replied, "It's nothing. I'm pocking right now. But, since I'm toking o breok, I wonted to osk how you were doing over there."

"I'm fine." After o pouse, Leonno odded, "Are you pocking so soon?"

"Thot's right. You might not believe me, but I ron into Doniel ot the elevotor when I returned in the ofternoon. I suddenly understond the twisted fote thot you ond President Peorson used to shore when you constontly encountered eoch other wherever you went. I've olreody contocted the moving compony. I'm moving out eorly tomorrow morning. I con't stoy here for onother moment longer!"

The corners of her mouth twitched ot those words. She didn't know whot to soy, so o long while possed before she finolly responded, "Con you osk the moving compony to send two extro men to help move my things out os well? Once I… settle things here, I'll get my stuff from you."
Not long after Leanna left, the rain began pouring down in earnest. The raindrops constantly pelted against the glass in front of her. Considering the lack of her own car prior to Aidan's gift, it was only natural to assume that she did not drive often. Nevertheless, she drove much slower than usual due to the traffic jam caused by the pouring rain. More than an hour had passed by the time she arrived at the Crossley Residence.

When her car slowly drove through the gates of the Crossley Residence, she thought to herself. If Aidan had not given me this car, I might have had to walk along this road in the pouring rain today.

As soon as she stopped the car in front of the main building, a servant immediately came forward with an umbrella and called out, "Miss McKinney."

She smiled. "Thank you."

The servant did not answer and simply backed away without a sound.

As she walked from the entrance to her room upstairs, she could sense the significant change in the attitude of the servants in the entire Crossley Residence. Although she could not say they were being nice, compared to how they turned a blind eye to her when she first arrived in the morning, at least they were now greeting her.

She did not know whether Lloyd and Georgina were not at home or whether they had already gone back to their respective rooms. In any case, she discovered that the items she placed on the table seemed to have been touched when she entered the bedroom. She pursed her lips and carefully checked once more. Once she confirmed that nothing had gone missing, she finally locked the door and entered the bathroom.

It looks like I'm not the only one playing detective. The Crossley Family is also investigating me.

After she took a long, hot shower, she began to flip through the information regarding The Designer Competition.

A short while later, her phone rang. It was a phone call from Zoe.

Leanna answered the call, "What's up, Zoe?"

Zoe replied, "It's nothing. I'm packing right now. But, since I'm taking a break, I wanted to ask how you were doing over there."

"I'm fine." After a pause, Leanna added, "Are you packing so soon?"

"That's right. You might not believe me, but I ran into Daniel at the elevator when I returned in the afternoon. I suddenly understand the twisted fate that you and President Pearson used to share when you constantly encountered each other wherever you went. I've already contacted the moving company. I'm moving out early tomorrow morning. I can't stay here for another moment longer!"

The corners of her mouth twitched at those words. She didn't know what to say, so a long while passed before she finally responded, "Can you ask the moving company to send two extra men to help move my things out as well? Once I… settle things here, I'll get my stuff from you."

Zoe asked puzzledly, "Didn't you already move all your things out?"

Leanna was confused.

"President Pearson sent some men over, and they just left not too long ago. I thought you asked him to do that."

She closed her eyes in frustration and inhaled deeply. That b*stard sure is tight-lipped. I can't believe he didn't even say a word to me just now!

Zoe probed tentatively, "Don't tell me he secretly moved your stuff out behind your back?"

Leanna coughed in embarrassment. "Forget it. I'll just go and get my stuff from him when the time comes."

"Do you not plan to live with him?"

"W-We'll see."

As the saying goes, 'distance makes the heart grow fonder'. If she lived together with Aidan, he would annoy her to death before she could live to a ripe old age. Besides, it would not be as simple and easy as it was now if they were to live together. Problems that she did not wish to face would inevitably come up.

Zoe chatted with Leanna for some time before she hung up and continued packing.

The doorbell rang just as she finished packing a cardboard box.

She thought the food she had ordered had arrived, so she quickly ran to the door. Yet, it was not until she opened the door that she discovered the person standing outside her door was actually that wicked man she was cursing about earlier.
