Chapter 522

As Aidan was returning by helicopter, Oscar dropped Leanna off directly at the private hangar.

"You should return to whatever you're doing. I can wait for him here myself," Leanna said.

He gave her a nod in reply; he did have a lot on his plate at the moment. "Call me if you need anything," he said.

"Sure."

After he left, she silently leaned against the car window and watched the scenery outside.

After all the commotion in the night, dawn had started to show in the sky, and it wouldn't be long before the sun would rise.

Leanna stared at the sky dazedly and didn't know when she had fallen asleep. Still, she only realized she had fallen asleep when the vibration of her cell phone woke her up. She groggily rubbed her eyes before squinting at the screen, only to see that it was Louis calling her.

She cleared her throat and picked up the call. "What's up, Louis?"

"Where are you now?" he asked solemnly.

"I…"

She quickly swallowed the words that were about to tumble out of her mouth as she thought, If Louis is calling me so early in the day with this tone, it shows that he probably already knew about what happened last night.

"I'm at the airport waiting for Aidan to return," she answered softly.

"Send me the location. I'm coming over," he said.

"It's okay," she replied. "I'm fine. You should just attend your classes."

Louis frowned. "It's such a big deal. How could you be fine?"

After Leanna left the Pearson Family Estate, she didn't check her phone besides giving Oscar a call. So, she had no clue that her disappearance had caused a considerable uproar.

Nevertheless, she chuckled and answered, "I'm fine, really. Otherwise, how could I answer your call? The Pearsons are merely bluffing. They didn't even dare to lay a single finger on me."
