Chapter 199 It’s Okay to Let off Some Steam Knowing that Elijah was leaving because of companyaffairs, Leanna took a silent sigh in relief. “Alright, I shouldn’t bother you any longer. I—” “Leanna,” heinterrupted. “Yeah?” “Nothing. Get some rest. Good night.” He smiled faintly as he failed to ask thequestion he was curious about. After ending the call, she rested her head on the table again. She wasnot sure if she should straighten things out with him because it would be struck as self-conceited whenhe had not confessed his feelings yet. Knowing that she was not going to get any sleep tonight, Leannaflipped open her sketchbook. Drawing one stroke after another, she was depicting the b*stard’ssilhouette unconsciously. When she finally pulled back her senses, the drawing was almost done. Herfirst thought was to tear off the paper, but her hands stopped in their tracks. Forget it. Let’s just leaveone to remind myself not to be careless. She flipped to a new page before slapping her face lightly towake herself up to make another sketch. At the same time, there was a subordinate in the study roomof Crossley Residence. “Mr. Crossley, I’ve looked into the matter and the picture was submitted to themedia by a boy.” Lloyd’s brows slightly creased.

“A boy? What boy?” “It’s Louis McKinney. He’s currently nineteen and is in his first-year at SouthforkUniversity.” “Have you found out how he had the picture?” The subordinate nodded lightly. “He has anolder sister named Leanna McKinney.” “What?!” Lloyd jumped to his feet. “It is confirmed that she isAidan Pearson’s ex-wife.” The frown on Lloyd’s face evidently deepened when he heard that. “Are yousure?” “Yes, I’m sure. I’ve confirmed it with the media. Louis gave them the picture to look for themissing person. He might’ve deemed it useless as he used social media to search for the personafterward, but we’ve deleted them.” After a moment of silence, Lloyd behested, “Do a backgroundcheck on Louis and Leanna. Pry every detail from their birth and—” A knock resounded on the doorand Georgina entered the room. “Dad, are you looking for me?” He sat on the chair before motioninghis subordinate to leave.

“You may leave.” “Understood.” Now that both of them were left alone, she closed the door and seatedherself opposite him. “Dad, I heard something about a background check before entering the room. Did

something happen?” “Something did happen in the company. It’s nothing. I’ve asked someone tohandle it,” he slurred it over. She nodded. Lloyd paused for a while before questioning, “I heard thatyou’ve become close with a foreigner.” “He’s not totally a foreigner. He’s mixed.” Daniel had beeninviting her for a hangout at times ever since the birthday party ended. She knew his intention andwould have turned him down without a second thought if it happened in the past. Ever since Georgina’sengagement with Aidan was called off, no one talked about it to her face but she was aware that manyof them were amused by her misfortune. Now that she had a pursuer, who was known worldwide, shewould not turn him down that easily. Lloyd asked, “Have you checked his background?” “Yeah andeverything looks fine. He’s come to Highside to organize a concert. Many of my friends know him.”“Gina,” he said sternly, “I don’t mind who you’re going to date, but you must know that your spouse cannever be a musician.” “I know.” “It’s my fault for agreeing to an engagement between you and thePearsons. I shouldn’t have done that after knowing what kind of person Aidan is.” Georgina shook herhead. “Dad, please don’t say that. I was stubborn and insisted on marrying him. No matter what, Aidanwas the best candidate to be my husband.” He sighed before inquiring, “Oh, right. How’s Aidan’s ex-wife doing?” She was baffled by the sudden question. “She has established a studio with her friend.She’s still close with Aidan. I saw them having a meal together on my birthday.”

Lloyd’s voice became solemn at that. “It is fortunate that you didn’t marry him back then.” As sheremained silent, he continued, “I recall you mentioning that his ex-wife was being sold to Patheon Clublong ago. Was she poor?” “I’m not sure, but it seems to be it.” “Does she have other family members?”“I think she has a younger brother. I’m not sure about others, though. Why are you suddenly askingabout her, Dad?” Lloyd’s countenance darkened. “Nothing. I’m just curious what kind of girl wonAidan’s heart. That’s all.” Georgina’s complexion simmered too. “True. I underestimated her calculativeside before this. Otherwise, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.” He tried to soothe her by offeringcomforting words, “Gina, Aidan is the one who’s at fault. If you feel that you’re wronged, it’s okay to letoff some steam.” “You mean…” “No matter what you do, I’ll always have your back. I believe that the

Pearson Family won’t have any objection about it either.” “Thanks, Dad.” He rose from his seat, butsomething came into his mind before he left the room.

He turned around to her. “Gina, is Aidan’s ex-wife the one who designed the necklace for you?”Georgina pondered for a moment before smiling. “Dad, why do you ask?” “It just came into my mind.It’s nothing important. Get some rest.” Her reaction was enough to tell him the answer to the question.Returning to his room, Lloyd locked the door before opening a secret compartment in the wardrobe totake out a box from it. Lying in the box were a few yellowed documents with a burned pocket watchunderneath them. He fished out the watch and stared at it. Soon, his phone rang.

He answered the call to hear his subordinate’s voice. “Mr. Crossley, Leanna and Louis have a gamblerfor a father. He frequents every illegal casino and borrows money from the loan sharks whenever heruns out of money. Three years ago, he borrowed money from them and sold Leanna to Patheon Club.”“What about their mother?” “There’s not much information about her. Their mother seemed to be deaddue to an obstructed labor while giving birth to Louis.” Lloyd questioned further, “What’s her name?”
