I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 392

Chapter 392

While Leanna was drying herself after shower, she noticed her phone buzzing on the bed. She lay on her stomach in bed to answer the call from Aidan.

Once the call got through, a man's gruff voice could be heard. "Were you sleeping?"

"Nope," she replied before pausing and continuing, "I can't sleep."

It was true; she did not feel sleepy, since so many things had happened today.

"Is it because you miss me too much?" he teased.

Leanna went speechless. Can't he be serious for once?

"So, how's the situation going on over there?" She veered into another topic.

He responded indifferently, "The board of directors meeting ended. Don't worry. They can't do anything to me."

"But it's caused such a huge ruckus. The Pearson Family—"

"It is their plan from the beginning. They made a big fuss over it."

Hearing that, Leanna was stunned. "They did it? But I'm pretty sure Queenie taped it."

Her response did not surprise Aidan as he reciprocated, "She's quite smart for getting a scapegoat for herself."

"You mean she did record it, but she used the Pearsons because she didn't wanna offend you?"

Everyone was aware of the schemes and enmity between Gordon and Aidan, despite being a family. After Gordon's numerous attempts went down into failures, he became especially resentful and wished to have something over Aidan's head at all costs.

Queenie was a clever yet daring person for her decision to include Gordon into her plan.


Leanna went silent for a couple of seconds. "Since now we know who's behind this, what are we gonna do?"

"There's no need for the rush," cooed Aidan. "We'll wait for a couple more days."

"Okay." If her guess was right, he might leverage the issue to do something.

He then asked, "Did Lloyd look for you?"

"Nope."

"Let's wait. He'll stop by tomorrow morning at the latest."

Leanna nodded in agreement as she figured the issue would escalate for the worst after what had happened tonight. If Lloyd intended to resolve the problem before it blew out of proportion in order to minimize the loss, the next morning would be his final bet.

She inquired, "Are you still at work?"

Aidan hummed. "I put off a lot of work today."

"I assume you'll be working late today?"

"Wanna keep me company?"

"I'm sleepy. Bye." She hurriedly terminated the call. After taking her sweet time lying in bed, she entered the bathroom to dry her hair. She checked on the time, which showed that it was 1.00AM. It would be ridiculous to head out right now.

But… That b*stard will forget to eat something whenever he's busy.

Lying in bed, she decided to order a food delivery for Aidan. Later on, she thought of how tiring Jonathan would be as Aidan's assistant and added another order for him.

Done with the food delivery, she logged onto her Twitter account, only to see Louis' issue still mentioned in the trending hashtags. Destructive comments directed at Georgina did not die down either.

It seemed like many could not sleep tonight.

As the night sky turned somber, silence sat upon the air and the sound of tree leaves ruffling along the blowing wind could be heard at times.

Soon, the pitter-patter of rain resounded, causing the temperature in the house to dip.

Staring at the leaden night sky through the window, Leanna suddenly thought of the scene where Ron appeared in her studio covered in blood, as well as Leo, whose body was left unbothered in the mortuary.

It took her a while before she heaved a soft sigh. Since she did not owe them anything now, she would not go easy on them anymore.

…

The rainy night would not pass in peace.

Ever since the recording pen was delivered to the Pearson Family, Queenie had been keeping a close watch on the online articles. Once the recorded tape was revealed, she sighed in relief, feeling the wave of contentment washing over her.

Now that the issue had blown out of control with the Pearson Group's involvement, be it the organizer or the Pearson Group, they would release an announcement to refute the content of the recording for sure. That way, Leanna would lose the chance to display her work.

However, Queenie waited for the whole night and there was no news from neither the Pearson Group nor the organizer. All she received was the news of Georgina getting into trouble.

When Georgina's matter drew everyone's attention away from Leanna, Queenie indeed panicked.
