Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 145

Leanna opened the door; although Anna's appearance surprised her, she asked calmly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Anna displayed haughtiness and disdain with her arms crossed. "Seems like you're not affected in the slightest even after the big incident. You must be living a happy life, aren't you?"

Her sarcastic tone implied her purpose of coming over was to poke fun at Leanna, who was not in the mood of playing along with her. "Is there anything you wanna say?"

"Nothing in particular," Anna mocked. "Don't you know that bad things keep happening ever since the day you move to our house? How do you sleep at night knowing that you don't belong here?"

"If you can persuade Old Master Pearson, I can leave immediately." Leanna was trying to protect herself.

It had been a week since she started living here and there had been no issue at all. It was obvious that Anna wanted to cause a scene by getting on her nerves right now. Bringing up Gordon's name was to remind Anna of the situation and suggest she back off.

The trick worked as her expression showed nuances, albeit for a fleeting second. She centered herself and jeered at Leanna, "You must be naive to think that I'll be afraid of you just because you brought up Uncle Gordon. He just needs the baby in your belly to control Aidan. He doesn't care even if you're dead."

Leanna smiled lightly in return. "That is true. No one cares if I'm dead. So, tell me, Anna Pearson, are you going to put your life at stake just to take me down right now? Or, are you going to wait after I give birth to the child?"

A flicker of resentment flashed across Anna's eyes when she heard that. "Leanna McKinney, do you really think that you can keep that illegitimate child of yours?"

The smile on Leanna's face gradually simmered as she stared coldly at Anna, who was content by the reaction. Anna continued nonchalantly, "You do know that your baby is nothing but a puppet, right? It's not like the child is irreplaceable. If Uncle Gordon can find an illegitimate child, he can find the second and the third one. Your child is not as important as you believe, you know?"

Hearing that, Leanna finally understood the reason as to why Anna was at her door. Considering how Anna was afraid of Aidan back then, there was a possibility that she did not know about his identity as the illegitimate child.
