Chapter 331

Not long after Leanna left, the rain began pouring down in earnest. The raindrops constantly pelted against the glass in front of her. Considering the lack of her own car prior to Aidan's gift, it was only natural to assume that she did not drive often. Nevertheless, she drove much slower than usual due to the traffic jam caused by the pouring rain. More than an hour had passed by the time she arrived at the Crossley Residence.

When her car slowly drove through the gates of the Crossley Residence, she thought to herself. If Aidan had not given me this car, I might have had to walk along this road in the pouring rain today.

As soon as she stopped the car in front of the main building, a servant immediately came forward with an umbrella and called out, "Miss McKinney."

She smiled. "Thank you."

The servant did not answer and simply backed away without a sound.

As she walked from the entrance to her room upstairs, she could sense the significant change in the attitude of the servants in the entire Crossley Residence. Although she could not say they were being nice, compared to how they turned a blind eye to her when she first arrived in the morning, at least they were now greeting her.

She did not know whether Lloyd and Georgina were not at home or whether they had already gone back to their respective rooms. In any case, she discovered that the items she placed on the table seemed to have been touched when she entered the bedroom. She pursed her lips and carefully checked once more. Once she confirmed that nothing had gone missing, she finally locked the door and entered the bathroom.

It looks like I'm not the only one playing detective. The Crossley Family is also investigating me.

After she took a long, hot shower, she began to flip through the information regarding The Designer Competition.

A short while later, her phone rang. It was a phone call from Zoe.

Leanna answered the call, "What's up, Zoe?"

Zoe replied, "It's nothing. I'm packing right now. But, since I'm taking a break, I wanted to ask how you were doing over there."

"I'm fine." After a pause, Leanna added, "Are you packing so soon?"
