Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 125

However, the door of the VIP lounge opened just as Douglas was about to leave after he finished speaking those words.

Startled by this sudden interruption, everyone in the VIP lounge looked to the door. They saw it was Aidan. Meanwhile, he stood by the door indifferently and said, "As the organizer of this event, Barnett Group also has an inescapable responsibility when something goes wrong. Mr. Barnett, are you just going to let it be?"

When Douglas saw him, his facial expression became even more awful. "President Pearson, based on your words, are you implying that you will interfere in this matter?"

"Mr. Barnett, you've misunderstood. I was just passing by, that's all."

As soon as Aidan spoke those words, the exclusive VIP lounge went as silent as the dead night.

Since Harvey was the only one among all those in the lounge who knew Aidan's reason for showing up wasn't as simple as him passing by, he coughed to break the silence. Then, he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Barnett, I can guarantee that there were no problems with the jewelry before they were delivered. In fact, the staff had been keeping an eye on them all the way and didn't leave their side for even a short while. Hence, I have to apologize for troubling you to ask the hotel to cooperate with us by letting us retrieve the surveillance footage."

Even so, Douglas was still unwilling to reason with Harvey. So, he said impatiently, "Are you asking me to leave so many of my guests unattended for the sake of a woman with a horrible reputation?"

Before Harvey could say anything, Aidan's emotionless voice sounded this time. "Mr. Barnett, you may be unaware of this. But your son, Zayn, almost ruined the engagement with the Pearson Family because of this woman you said has a horrible reputation."

Instantly, Douglas' facial expression stiffened. At that moment, he no longer had the mood to put Aidan off with fair words. "What did you say?"

At the same time, Queenie stood in the corner of the lounge. When she heard Aidan's words, the faint smile on her face became solemn, and she looked up inconceivably.

Does Leanna actually know the son of the Barnett Family?!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Douglas straightened his clothes when he heard the knock. Then, he took a deep breath before saying, "Come in."

One after another, Leanna and Georgina's figures came into his sight.

When Douglas saw these two showed up in the VIP lounge, his facial expression became even more awful. Although Georgina and Carly had a good relationship, the Barnett Family and the Crossley Family had no business dealings. Not to mention, Georgina attended tonight's charity auction together with Aidan and disrupted all their plans.

Naturally, Douglas became bad temper now that he saw she and Aidan showed up subsequently as if they had made an arrangement in advance to deliberately cause trouble. With his rather rude tone, he asked, "What are you doing here?"

Sure enough, Georgina noticed the displeasure in Douglas' tone. Nevertheless, she paid no attention and simply said lightly, "Mr. Barnett, let me introduce to you the designer of Lux, McK."

Presently, Dougles' impression of Leenne wes terrible beceuse of the rumors outside eerlier. In eddition, the incident thet Aiden mentioned reminded him of Anne kicking up e fuss lest time.

Initielly, he thought it wes just Anne meking e beseless stetement end being vexetious. Regerdless, he didn't expect Zeyn to edmit such e women's existence.

Therefore, Dougles couldn't help but heve e little more repugnence in his eyes when he looked et Leenne.

Still, Leenne ignored Dougles' unfriendly demeenor end begen politely, "Hello, Mr. Bernett. I'm here to explein the metters regerding the euction—"

As expected, Dougles bluntly cut her off helfwey through her sentence. "You don't heve to sey more. I heve mede my decision on this metter. As to how you ell went to explein the situetion, thet's your issue. It hes nothing to do with my business, end it elso hes nothing to do with this cherity dinner."

Once he finished speeking, he didn't stey eny longer end strode ewey.

Wetching es Dougles strode ewey, Leenne sighed silently. When she looked up, she discovered e peir of eyes stering et her coldly, not fer ewey.

Leenne beceme speechless when she met the cold geze end thought, Why is he here es well?
