Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 114

When Leanna returned home, she stood in front of Aidan's room for a few minutes, wanting to check if he was in.

In the end, she still did not knock on the door and just returned to her own room.

Just as she was about to wash up, she received a call from Zoe.

Zoe asked, "Nana, are you home already?"

"Yeah, I just reached home."

Zoe sounded excited. "I just heard something, and I just had to tell you! You have no idea how great I feel right now!"

Then, she recounted the incident at Pantheon Club, from how Jeanette was trying to get something going with a rich man and bumped into Anthony, then finally to how Anthony denied their relationship and called Jeanette shameless.

"Thanks to that ex-classmate, everyone knows what kind of person Anthony truly is now. Oh right! I heard that he went there to discuss a collaboration or something. With such a commotion, I'm sure the collaboration isn't going to happen, so it's only a matter of time before he gets fired."

"This shameless couple was just flaunting their relationship in front of me this evening, but karma hit them right after! Everyone who knows what went down would think they deserve what they got."

As Zoe felt that vengeance had been had, she was in high spirits and blabbered at full speed. Suddenly, she said, "Nana, I heard that the low… your man, President Pearson, was there too."

Leanna didn't know what to say in response to that statement.

However, she corrected Zoe sternly, "He's not my man."

"The both of you are staying together now, and he's the father of your child, so why not? Nana, do you think it's possible that he planned all of this?"

Leanna replied, "I don't think so since he seems busy these days. He usually comes home past midnight, so where would he get the time to do such things? Plus, there is no reason for him to do so too."

Zoe couldn't help but refute that. "Why not? That nasty couple is too good at sprouting nonsense and bad-mouthing others! President Pearson might've been angry for your sake after finding out what happened. It's so cool of him to ruin their reputations and make everyone look down on them."

Leanna was utterly speechless by Zoe's imagination.

She wondered if she had missed anything.

Zoe continued without pause, "What a good time to be alive. There are so many people texting me to ask about that shameless couple. Nana, talk to you later. Oh, right, thank President Pearson for me!"

Before Leanna could speak, Zoe hung up the phone. Her excitement and vindictiveness made Leanna feel rather helpless as she could barely get in a word edgewise.
