Chapter 517

When Leanna woke up, she could barely see anything through her blurry vision. But she was aware enough to realize that she was in unfamiliar territory. She tried to sit up only to learn that she could not muster any strength in her body. That was not all. She couldn't even make a sound, either.

At this moment, the sound of movement came from outside the door. She quickly closed her eyes and feigned unconsciousness.

The door opened, and several people walked into the room. The first thing she heard was Gordon's voice. "When will she wake?"

Sienna answered lightly, "The drug dosage given to her was low, so she should wake up soon."

Gordon snorted. "I never imagined the day would come where I had to use such a convoluted method just to bring her back."

"Isn't that all thanks to your son?"

He immediately became displeased. "Why are you mentioning this topic again?"

"Did I say anything wrong?"

"You really... Forget it. I don't want to argue with you. You never cease to bring up the past."

She glanced at Leanna, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. Then, she curled her lips into a malicious smile. "I'm looking forward to seeing what price Aidan will be willing to pay for her sake."

Gordon answered gloomily, "Just act according to the plan. Don't you dare cause any extra trouble. It will not be good for us if you push him into a corner."

She folded her arms in front of her chest. "What you want is the Pearson Group. So, naturally, I have something I want too."

"In any case, we can only take things one step at a time." There was a brief pause before he added, "Freddie is downstairs. I have to leave, lest he starts getting suspicious."
