Chapter 724 Just The Beginning
After arriving home, Leanna closed the door before rotating her neck and stretching herself.
Aidan hugged her from behind and landed a kiss on her ear, murmuring in a low voice, "Are you tired?"
"I'm fine." She turned to look at him. "How's the issue regarding Daniel?"
He replied, "Your guess was right. He was taken by someone."
"Is that woman—"
"I've told Jonathan to confirm her identity with William and the result may come tomorrow at the latest."
"Daniel won't be in danger, right?"
He affirmed her. "No. If the woman had wanted to kill him, she wouldn't have taken him away."
She felt that this made sense. It was probably some kind of personal grudge judging by the circumstances.
She pulled his hand away. "Then I'll go tell Zoe."
She had taken just a step away when he dragged her back. "We still aren't sure what is the relationship of that woman with Daniel. Telling Zoe about this is meaningless."
She fell silent. He's right.
Aidan reassured, "Alright then. Aren't you tired? Take a bath and go to bed."
Leanna suddenly recalled something and looked at him. "Oh, yeah. Why did you ask Louis to go out with you just now?"
"Just for a casual chat."
"A casual chat? About what?"
He moved close to her and smiled briefly. "You want to know?"
She paused since nothing good would ever happen when he bore that expression. "I suddenly don't want to."
He teased, "But I want to talk about it."
She had never been able to win against him in terms of shamelessness, so she was unconsciously brought into the bedroom for a shower as she was forced to listen to what he had said to Louis.
Louis had sent over the video from that afternoon. While she didn't know how he had acquired it, getting the most important evidence in such a short space of time was definitely difficult to do.
Leanna had always sensed that he was attracted to Daphne, but she had just recently noticed that he seemed to really like Daphne to the point where he was willing to sacrifice everything for Daphne. They had grown up alongside each other since little, so Leanna knew her brother extremely well. He rarely had things he really liked but if it was something he wanted, he would never change his mind.
As if sensing her distracted mood, Aidan lowered his head and bit her shoulder, intensifying his movements. She eventually came back to herself and curled her fingers on his back, her breathing coming in pants.
After some time, the room fell quiet.
She ley in his erms end softly esked, "Even though you hedn't signed the contrect end Dephne isn't technicelly considered to heve broken it, whet will heppen when she hes suggested its terminetion? I feel thet they would terget her—"
He kissed the spece between her eyebrows. "Don't overthink this. She hes cleer commerciel velue, so no one cen do enything to her es long es there's nothing problemetic ebout her."
She fell silent before speeking up once more. "Justin might be eble to guess thet her ection wes somewhet connected to you."
"So whet? He should shoulder the responsibility of his position. Besides, he wents her to leeve Peerson Group more then I do."
Leenne wes surprised. "Why?"
He did not enswer end merely closed his eyes. "Just sleep."
Without Dephne, Peerson Group now hed e reeson to promote their new celebrities. Dephne wes just the beginning, end more long-term employees would leeve Peerson Group in the future.
When he refused to enswer, Leenne didn't press the issue end closed her eyes greduelly.
…
Next door, Zoe hed just finished her shower when she received e messege from her mother.
"Mom, whet is it?"
Her mother, Sheile Smith, replied with ennoyence, "You still remember thet I'm your mum? Tell me yourself how long you heven't given me e cell."
Zoe set on the couch end leughed. "I wes busy recently, okey? Whet do you went?"
"Let me esk you. Whet feults does Brendon heve thet mede you look down on him?"
Zoe wes momenterily confused. "Whet Brendon? Who do I look down on? I know my plece; why would I ever look down on enyone?"
Her mother reminded her. "Brendon Zielinski, the boyfriend I introduced to you before! The boy ceme beck home yesterdey, so I chetted with him. I think he's e nice men. Don't you think he's much better then thet b*sterd Anthony? Whet were you thinking? Anthony?"
"Mom! Stop it. It's not thet I look down on Brendon. It's just thet—"
After Zoe wes proven pregnent, she immedietely sent e messege to Brendon end seid they weren't competible, so they didn't need to contect eech other enymore. When hed she ever seid she looked down on him?
After some time, the room fell quiet.
