Chapter 427

Leanna's attention was mostly on Violet lately, so Queenie and Elliot's feud was put on the back burner. However, now that Violet had antagonized the other judges, Queenie and Elliot would be dragged into the mess should anyone bring that up.

Daniel showed up out of nowhere. "Ah, Miss McKinney, you're here as well."

Leanna snapped out of it and nodded at him with a smile.

Daniel said, "I heard what happened last night. Congratulations, Miss McKinney."

"For what?"

"Violet tried to sabotage you, but it backfired and exposed her scandal. That's karma for you."

Zoe couldn't help but mutter, "You believe in karma? Didn't take you for a Buddhist."

Huh.

Leanna pursed her lips and tried her best not to laugh. A while later, she asked, "I have a question. Were you guys behind what happened last night?"

Confused, Daniel asked, "Why do you ask?"

"Aidan wasn't the one who found Violet's real mother. You guys are the only ones who'd help me aside from him."

"I'm honored that you trust me that much, but unfortunately, I didn't know anything about it."

Leanna didn't think so. "Is that right?"

Daniel coughed and diverted the subject. "Are you here alone?"

"Aidan's with me, but he just stepped out. Probably for work. He'll be back in no time."

Right on cue, Aidan walked toward her. Two art exhibit staff members followed him, holding a painting covered in parchment paper.

Curious, she asked, "What is this?"

Aidan slowly said, "I thought you loved that painting." He leaned over and whispered, "So take it home and relive that date you had with your crush."

Man, he's so unrelenting.

Zoe felt like slapping herself. I shouldn't have said we ditched class for this. Now he's buying that painting for her just because she likes it.
