Chapter 35

In a cold voice, Aidan spoke over the intercom, "Contact Lux Jewelry to know how much Leanna McKinney's termination fee is."

Besides, she did not expect to see Zayn at the hospital. They were left alone after the sensible Zoe pulled Louis away.

Silence filled the atmosphere until Leanna wore a smile. "Thank you for everything that you've done."
