Chapter 34 Leanna Blocked Aidan on Twitter After hearing that, Zoe recalled the scene she witnessed in the ward by chance last night and she was hesitating whether to tell Leanna about how that b*stard kissed her while she was fast asleep. As such, she decided to test the waters first. “I saw Aidan yesterday. Did he say anything to you?” Leanna felt helpless at the mention of him. “It’s nothing. He told me to return his money and that Zayn will never marry a divorcée like me.” “Has he lost his mind?”

“To be honest, I think he’s been acting strange after the divorce.” Knock. Knock. A knock resounded on the door, interrupting the conversation and drawing their attention. Standing by the door was a woman carrying a bouquet while wearing a pair of sunglasses and a mask. Zoe stared at the unknown woman for a while before recognizing her identity. “Daphne?” Daphne took off the mask before closing the door and waving at them. “Hey guys. I’m here to visit.” She and Zoe had worked together before for a few cover shoots and advertisements. Although they were not that close, they could be considered as acquaintances. Even so, she had nothing to do with Leanna, which confused Zoe as to why she would visit. Daphne arranged the flowers into the vase while explaining, “I heard that the designer of Lux Jewelry has been hospitalized, so I decided to pay her a visit as I have some free time today. How are you feeling?”

“I’m fine. Thanks.” Leanna nodded as she was well-informed of how Daphne had lent a hand for the last two rounds of the runway last night. In actuality, Daphne was only doing someone a favor. Jonathan spent the whole night racking his brain in order to come up with a solution. Yet, the employees, including Leanna, had totally mistaken that Aidan’s feelings were directed to Mia instead of Leanna. Therefore, Jonathan had to explain the situation to Leanna before leveling with his boss. Otherwise, he might be pushed off the building by a furious Aidan from the president’s office. Thus, Daphne, who was merely roaming around in the company before her vacation, became his last strand of hope.

Given how she would retaliate against Aidan at times, Jonathan reckoned that she and Leanna would manage to get along well. Moreover, Leanna would definitely treat her with courtesy due to her contribution last night. As for Daphne, Aidan’s sudden yet confident statement of how someone was peeking at him in addition to the call for help last night had successfully piqued her interest. Her purpose of stopping by was to simply quench her curiosity. “Don’t be such a stranger. My schedule is quite lenient today anyway. By the way, I heard that the Pearson Group had chosen the designer as the winner. Did you receive anything?” She grinned. Leanna and Zoe were equally baffled by the question.

Lux Jewelry because of Mia. He’s not that generous.” “True.” Daphne nodded approvingly before saying implicitly, “But he did help Lux Jewelry through sending the PR team as help. It’s proof

 

clever enough to read it between lines. ‘Let Leanna know that President Pearson is doing all these for her, but do not flatter her vanity.’ Is this even human language? It’s obvious that Aidan is the one sending the message. Meanwhile, Leanna kept silent for a moment before veering the subject. “Would you like some grapes?” No matter what kind of feelings Aidan had for Mia, she was not curious in the slightest as both of them were toxic enough to

 

bring up that sensitive topic. Yet, she was not a professional negotiator; she did not have the ability to convey the message properly without straining the atmosphere. Besides, Leanna’s avoidance was not helping at all. Thus, Daphne figured that it would be tactless of her to rub salt to the wound as a mere

Anyone with a fragile heart will surely cry after talking to him for two seconds.” Knowing that Daphne would talk bad about Aidan behind his back, Zoe spoke up for Leanna, “Not only that, he only has his eyes for money. I’ve never seen someone as thrifty as him. I can’t wait to see his son calling another man ‘daddy’.” Daphne was surprised by the sudden news. “Huh?” It was not until then did Zoe realize that she had almost let it slip through her tongue at the spur of the moment. She tried to gloss it over by adding, “It’s just an
