Chapter 199

Knowing that Elijah was leaving because of company affairs, Leanna took a silent sigh in relief. "Alright, I shouldn't bother you any longer. I—"

"Leanna," he interrupted.

"Yeah?"

"Nothing. Get some rest. Good night." He smiled faintly as he failed to ask the question he was curious about.

After ending the call, she rested her head on the table again. She was not sure if she should straighten things out with him because it would be struck as self-conceited when he had not confessed his feelings yet.

Knowing that she was not going to get any sleep tonight, Leanna flipped open her sketchbook. Drawing one stroke after another, she was depicting the b*stard's silhouette unconsciously.

When she finally pulled back her senses, the drawing was almost done. Her first thought was to tear off the paper, but her hands stopped in their tracks. Forget it. Let's just leave one to remind myself not to be careless.

She flipped to a new page before slapping her face lightly to wake herself up to make another sketch.

At the same time, there was a subordinate in the study room of Crossley Residence. "Mr. Crossley, I've looked into the matter and the picture was submitted to the media by a boy."

Lloyd's brows slightly creased. "A boy? What boy?"

"It's Louis McKinney. He's currently nineteen and is in his first-year at Southfork University."

"Have you found out how he had the picture?"

The subordinate nodded lightly. "He has an older sister named Leanna McKinney."

"What?!" Lloyd jumped to his feet.
