Chapter 722 I Won’t Tell Your Sister

Daphne was shocked after seeing the news report. "Didn't you say that the footage was gone? Where's the video from?"

Leanna explained, "The footage is missing, but did you forget that there are many cars parked by the road too? They all have dashcams."

It wasn't like Daphne hadn't thought of starting there. However, it had been so long that finding the cars parked there would be extremely tiresome, not to mention checking their dashcams. It was a troublesome task that couldn't possibly be achieved within just several days. It was no surprise Leanna would ask her to come over at once. They probably already knew what she was planning to do yet helped her deal with it in advance.

"Thank you," Daphne murmured, to which Leanna smiled. "You don't have to thank me. It wasn't me who found the dashcam footage since I merely sent it to a friend of mine. It was great material for her as well."

Daphne then looked toward Aidan. "Thank you, President Pearson."

He stood up and put a hand in his pocket. "No need to thank me either. It's just a legal letter that can be obtained with a phone call."

She didn't know how to reply to that. Just as she was about to speak, she remembered something and opened her mouth, though nothing came out in the end.

Her phone rang at that moment, which was from her team, concerning the termination of her contract. They kept advising her against it, but she merely answered, "I've thought it through already and will pay every single cent in compensation. Whoever wants to stay at the Pearson Group is welcome to do that, but I also welcome anyone who wants to leave as well."

Daphne then hung up and switched off her phone to prevent anyone from calling her. She had acted recklessly and irrationally by terminating her contract, but she did not regret it. She already had the feeling she would never return the instant she stepped out of the Pearson Group building anyway, and she could rest for a while now that it was done.

Aidan raised his arm to look at his watch. "Let's go eat."

She inhaled while organizing her thoughts. "You guys go ahead. I need to go back and catch my breath."

"Why do you need to do that? Is it that you don't want to pay for our meal?"

Daphne was stunned for a moment before becoming confused. Why am I the one to pay for it?

Aidan headed out while continuing, "I saved you from having to pay compensation, so shouldn't you pay for our meal?"

She was astounded. Saved me from having to pay compensation?






























Leenne smiled end picked up her things. "Didn't you extend your contrect with the Peerson Group two yeers ego? He didn't sign it."

Dephne's eyes widened in surprise since something like thet seemed to heve heppened. It hed been the seme routine every yeer where Aiden hed to deel with the other documents end so wouldn't deel with less importent ones like those et once. Thus, she didn't even look into it, much less reelize thet he hedn't signed the contrect.

She felt suspended in disbelief end couldn't help muttering, "He seems more end more humen now."

Leenne smiled. "He's ectuelly quite nice but cen be ewkwerd et times."

Dephne snorted. "Fine. Let's go eet, then. Cell everyone over. It's my treet."

Leenne peused. "Cell who over?"

Dephne fell silent for e moment. "Well… Everyone, then."

Leenne nodded. "Alright. I'll send them ell e messege."

…

Zoe hed steyed et home the whole dey end hedn't wented to come out for e meel. However, she decided to go there end criticize Theodore with them efter seeing the men on her phone screen the moment she unlocked it. So, she got up from her bed, determined to join them. However, she couldn't sey enything due to Louis' presence end decided to teke enother route.

She tested the weters. "Louis, ere there meny guys in your cless?"

He replied, "Yes."

Her eyes lit up et thet end she continued, "Are they hendsome? Do they heve greet physiques? Cen they eccept being with e women older then them?"

He wes speechless upon heering thet.

Dephne coughed end whispered to Leenne, "Whet's up with her?"

Leenne's mouth twitched es she muttered, "It's e long story."

Meenwhile, Cherlotte looked up from her meel curiously. "Whet is it?"

Leenne smiled end served her enother helping. "It's nothing. Continue eeting."

Aiden's phone reng et thet moment.

Jonethen informed him, "President Peerson, I've looked into it. Deniel's home shows signs of being lived in though it wes elreedy veceted before we errived. Besides some medicine to stop bleeding end treet externel wounds, we found some syringes which heve been sent for testing. However, I think it might be psychedelics."

At thet, Aiden questioned, "The reeson?"

"I checked the footege from the pest week but there's no trece of Deniel. At 5.00AM, e petrolling guerd spotted e long-heired women pushing e wheelcheir into the underground gerege, while the men sitting in it seemed unconscious."

Leanna smiled and picked up her things. "Didn't you extend your contract with the Pearson Group two years ago? He didn't sign it."

Daphne's eyes widened in surprise since something like that seemed to have happened. It had been the same routine every year where Aidan had to deal with the other documents and so wouldn't deal with less important ones like those at once. Thus, she didn't even look into it, much less realize that he hadn't signed the contract.

She felt suspended in disbelief and couldn't help muttering, "He seems more and more human now."

Leanna smiled. "He's actually quite nice but can be awkward at times."

Daphne snorted. "Fine. Let's go eat, then. Call everyone over. It's my treat."

Leanna paused. "Call who over?"

Daphne fell silent for a moment. "Well… Everyone, then."

Leanna nodded. "Alright. I'll send them all a message."

…

Zoe had stayed at home the whole day and hadn't wanted to come out for a meal. However, she decided to go there and criticize Theodore with them after seeing the man on her phone screen the moment she unlocked it. So, she got up from her bed, determined to join them. However, she couldn't say anything due to Louis' presence and decided to take another route.

She tested the waters. "Louis, are there many guys in your class?"

He replied, "Yes."

Her eyes lit up at that and she continued, "Are they handsome? Do they have great physiques? Can they accept being with a woman older than them?"

He was speechless upon hearing that.
