Chapter 256

Of course, Leanna was just being sarcastic. How could she really be so dumb as to go to the Crossleys and ask about this? Wasn't that just as good as digging her own grave?

"When you run into Georgina in the future, just do as you always did in the past and don't argue with her directly no matter what she says," Aidan said.

"Okay."

Rising to his feet, he flicked his finger on her forehead and chuckled. "Don't just say it without doing it. Remember it."

Given Leanna's sharp tongue, Georgina was definitely not a match for her if she opened her mouth, but the more she did this, the bigger the mess would get.

Unhappily, she swatted his hand away. "I got it. Have you ever thought about why she's always picking on me?" It's because of you.

He raised his brows and tucked his hand into the pocket of his trousers. "I'm leaving. You don't have to see me out."

"Don't worry. I wasn't planning to."

I wonder where this b*stard gets his confidence?

After Aidan left, Leanna cleaned up the living room. Zoe opened her door silently when Leanna was about to return to her room. Sticking her head out, she asked softly, "Is President Pearson gone?"

"Yeah."

Only then did Zoe breathe a sigh of relief and come out of the bedroom. Then, she nestled on the couch and said pitifully, "My life is really losing its value. Nana, if I made President Pearson very mad one day, you have to plead on my behalf that he will leave my body whole."

Speechless, Leanna sat next to her and said with a giggle, "You're exaggerating."

"I swear that I won't try to match you up with Elijah anymore," Zoe said in a serious tone. "I always get caught red-handed. Maybe this is all fated." She sighed and added, "What did you speak about earlier? That took quite a while and I couldn't hear a single word from my room."

At the mention of this, Leanna was quiet for a few seconds before saying, "He said that maybe my real father knows Lloyd Crossley."
