Chapter 584 Will You Come Tomorrow?

After returning to the Crossley Group, Leanna went through the documents that her assistant had sent over. When she checked the time after that, she realized it was almost 6.00PM.

Soon, Richard came in and said, "Miss McKinney, the police station just sent word that the trial for Raymond's case has been expedited, and the verdict will be handed down soon. He's basically going to get the death penalty. The case has implicated Mr. Ollander extensively, and they're still investigating it. I heard he's been trying to use his connections to get himself out and even tried to pin all the blame on Raymond. However..."

"However, what?"

"Pearson Group has managed to suppress it all, so no one dares to help him now. But the problem now is that he denies any involvement in the smuggling ring and claims he knew nothing. He claimed that he only did everything under the orders of Mr. Crossley before this. If they can't find solid evidence after the detention period, there's a chance that Mr. Ollander might be released."

Leanna pursed her lips upon hearing that. It seemed like he not only wanted to shift the blame onto Raymond, but he also wanted to dump all these dirty dealings onto Leroy. If he succeeded, he could turn from a perpetrator into a victim who didn't know anything. Raymond was already a murderer, so no matter how many cases he was charged with, it all seemed like a natural progression. And they wouldn't be able to find anyone on Leroy's side, leaving them without any evidence. What a well-played scheme.

"Send all the evidence we've collected to the police station and contact Jessamine. If she's willing to, she can come forward to sue Jimmy. As for the other victims, try to find them. We can't let him leave the police station no matter the charges that will be brought against him," Leanna said.

"Okay." Richard nodded.

With that, Leanna got up. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

She had only taken two steps when Richard's voice rang from behind. "Miss McKinney." Hearing that, Leanna turned around. "What is it?"

Richard hesitated for a bit, seemingly unsure. Even so, Leanna didn't rush him and waited to listen to what he had to say. "I-I haven't had a chance to apologize to you with all that's been happening these past few days…"

"Apologize?"

"Maya did a lot of things to wrong you in the past, especially after what happened with Raymond. She has been feeling guilty about it all this time. She's not a bad person at heart, but sometimes she isn't bright and would do things that don't make sense. Now she knows that she is at fault."

After returning to the Crossley Group, Leanna went through the documents that her assistant had sent over. When she checked the time after that, she realized it was almost 6.00PM.

"I know. If I honestly held a grudge against her, I wouldn't have let her take care of my child." Leanna smiled gently.

"I know. If I honestly held a grudge against her, I wouldn't have let her take care of my child." Leanna smiled gently.

Upon hearing that, Richard instantly made sense of the situation. If Leanna really wanted to get back at Maya, why would she trust her to take care of her child?

"Thank you, Miss McKinney." Richard heaved a sigh of relief.

"You're welcome."

After leaving the Crossley Group, Leanna went to the supermarket and bought a lot of food and fruits that were good for wound recovery. After putting them all in Aidan's empty refrigerator, she placed the soup on the stove before entering Aidan's bedroom to check on him. He was still sleeping, so she closed the door, and as she was about to go back to put things away, she stopped outside the bathroom. She tilted her head as she walked in and picked up the hair dryer from the washstand. She plugged it in, and after fiddling with it for a while, there was no response.

Is it really broken? Leanna changed to a different outlet, but it still didn't work. Alright. It seemed that the b*stard wasn't lying this time. When she went back next door, Zoe and Maya were there, and she asked Maya to leave first. As soon as Leanna sat down, Zoe leaned in before asking, "How is President Pearson?"

"He's fine. At least he's not dead yet," Leanna said.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and quickly stood up while saying, "Zoe, could you please watch the baby for me for a while? I am boiling soup on the stove."

Hearing that, Zoe nodded and subconsciously looked toward the kitchen. However, she noticed that the stove wasn't even turned on. She looked at how hurriedly Leanna had left and suddenly realized that it must be the kitchen next door. Leanna wasn't sure if Aidan had an appetite for anything, so she didn't cook too much. She boiled fish soup and made a light side dish.

As soon as she turned off the stove and was about to call Aidan, someone suddenly hugged her from behind. Aidan rested his chin on her shoulder and uttered with his husky voice, "Good morning."

Leanna, who was still holding the ladle in her hand, replied irritably, "Good morning, my *ss. It's already dark outside."

"Is it? I thought it wasn't dawn yet," Aidan replied lazily.

Leanna didn't want to pay him any attention and reached out to pull his hands away from around her waist while saying, "Let go."

"Let me hold you a little longer." He rubbed against her neck as if he was being playful.

Leanna was silent for a moment and wondered if he had gone crazy. She raised her hand and touched his forehead. It felt warm to the touch. Aidan then closed his eyes and tightened his embrace around her.

Leanna brought her thoughts back and warned, "If you don't let go, you'll have to go to the hospital by yourself."

Hearing that, Aidan instantly released his grip and took a step back before rubbing his temples. "Am I dreaming?"

Leanna was speechless after hearing that. Could he be any more shameless?
