Chapter 22 You Seem to Have Forgotten Something Leanna was confused. “Regarding the divorce.”“No, thanks. That’s not necessary.” After saying so, she turned around and left without any hesitation.As soon as she walked out of the door, she sensed a hateful look shot at her from the corner, however,she disregarded that and strode off purposefully. After heading downstairs, Leanna asked Zoe for thecontact number of the staff in charge of the advertisement today.

After receiving the information she needed, Leanna instantly sent over a copy of the recording. Shewas not a generally kind person, hence, she was not here to solely bicker with Mia out of boredom thistime round; she was determined to settle every score with each person that crossed her path. … Half amonth later, the First Love series was officially released and the response from the public was positive.Everyone continuously pestered them to release the other pieces in the series as soon as possible.After several meetings that Leanna had attended, she stated that she was able to maintain her pastrecord of producing three pieces of jewelry each month.

However, Harvey wanted her to relax for the time being. After all, each product would have its ownmarket value and it was fine to just produce new pieces continuously over time. As for this stage, therewas a more pressing matter, which was the International Fashion Week held next month. Lux Jewelrywas the organizer for the event this year and Leanna was the designer for Lux Jewelry. Hence, ifeverything went perfectly with this event, then there would be a high chance that her design would beshowcased on an international platform.

This would mean that international recognition would garner for her design. However, if this was thecase, then not only would Leanna be in charge of the design for the subsequent pieces in the First

Love series, but she would also be in charge of all the jewelry designs in the show. That wouldinherently mean a significant increase in her workload. Fortunately, Harvey had assigned a personalassistant to her and she could just focus on coming up with new designs. Her personal assistant woulddeal with everything else related to the fashion show—from communicating with the costume models tothe selection of gemstones. For the past few weeks, Zoe was slightly worried to see her working till thewee hours of the day. “Nana, don’t you feel exhausted from working so much? You’re currentlypregnant too!” Leanna stroked her baby bump and smiled.

“This little one has been a good kid recently and hasn’t been fussing much, so I’m fine.” Zoe knew thatLeanna had been forced to give up her dream of pursuing a career in design three years ago, whichwas why Leanna was exceptionally appreciative of this opportunity by giving her best foot forward.After a short while, Zoe mentioned again, “Other than focusing on work, you should consider things foryourself too. Zayn has contacted me several times lately. I reckon that he’s very close to appearing atthe entrance of our magazine in order to get hold of me. Anyway, you’re already divorced from Aidanand Zayn’s quite persistent, so why don’t you…” Leanna shook her head.

“Things have ended between me and Zayn.” “Why don’t you reconsider him? Give him and yourselfanother chance.” “Zoe, I’m pregnant right now. Do you think that Zayn would accept being astepfather?” At that point, Zoe was at a loss for words. She tried several times to say something, butshe ended up remaining silent with a torn look. That b*stard Aidan is such a troublemaker even aftertheir divorce! … Inside Patheon Club at the card tables, a person glanced in the direction of the mandrinking silently by himself at a corner and whispered his question, “President Pearson seems to be ina foul mood lately. Each time he’s here, he would just be drinking by himself and not join our game atall. What happened?” Being the only person who knew the exact details of the scenario, Oscar replied,“What else could have happened? He’s gotten a divorce.”

As soon as everyone at the card table heard that Aidan had gotten a divorce, they could not containthemselves. The men tried to replace out more information out of curiosity while the women were impatientto make a move. “President Pearson doesn’t like his wife, right? Shouldn’t he be happy after thedivorce, then?” “Yeah, he’s very happy. He’s happily celebrating by himself, isn’t he?” At that point, thecrowd was rendered speechless. Oscar flicked his deck of cards on the table and announced, “I’ve wonthe game. Pay up, guys.

” While getting bored of winning halfway through the game, Oscar gave up his spot for someone elseand took a seat next to Aidan before pouring himself a drink. “What’s wrong with you? Why are youdrinking by yourself here everyday? Don’t tell me that you’ve suddenly realized you can’t bear to loseyour wife after the divorce.” Aidan paused in his action of lifting his glass and sneered, “You must bedelirious.” “Then, what is this that you’re doing right now?” “I seem to have been tricked by her.” Overthe past few days, Aidan had calmed down significantly and considered the situation. From the start ofLeanna’s request for divorce, she had been the one manipulating the situation—including lying aboutthe second pregnancy. She must have predicted accurately that he would be angered by that, so shehad purposely done that to provoke him.

She knew him very well and this was evident by the moves she made. That was also why she got whatshe wanted and she succeeded in gaining a divorce. Oscar was confused. “Isn’t this great for you? Shewasn’t after your money and she didn’t scheme for anything else other than getting a divorce.” Aidan

snorted, “When she needed money, she tried her best to trap me into a marriage. Now that she nolonger needs me, she did everything she could to get a divorce. I’m just like an idiot who was trickedrepeatedly by her.” There’s no other woman on earth as despicable as Leanna. Oscar racked his brainas he considered the situation. Finally, he came up with a fairly neutral opinion, “Why don’t you pursueher once more, and after restoring the marriage and allowing her to experience some sweet moments,ask for another divorce. That’s the easiest way to get back at her.

” As soon as Aidan heard the words ‘restore the marriage’, he swallowed a lump in his throatinvoluntarily and tightened his grip on his glass of drink. He found the suggestion to be plausible. Hegrunted an approval, “She deserves that.” As for Oscar, he thought, What?! I was just cracking a joke.Did he take it seriously?!? As the drunken Aidan arrived home at Castor Villa, his servant noticed hiscondition and quickly went to prepare a drink for his hangover cure. However, the servant opened thecupboard and realized that there was none left. The servant then revealed the bad news to Aidan, buthe was unperturbed. He remained seated on the couch with a finger pressed in between his eyes.Subsequently, he spoke up calmly, “Give her a call.” Two minutes later, Leanna received a phone callfrom Castor Villa. “Mrs. Pearson, we’ve run out of the drink to cure hangovers…” Leanna pursed herlips and corrected her nicely, “Aidan and I are divorced, so please stop addressing me as Mrs.Pearson. I’m no longer in charge of his hangover cure.”

The servant replied awkwardly, “But then… Mr. Pearson said that the drink you bought is very effectiveand the others don’t work for him.” Suppressing her temper, she took a deep breath. Of course, it’seffective! I brewed it personally! That b*stard scoffed at it previously, didn’t he? Oh, now, he finallyrealizes how magically effective it is!? After Leanna calmed down, she took into consideration that they

had gone through an amicable divorce after all, therefore, she gave the servant the entire ingredient listand procedures to make her homemade hangover cure.

However, before she could finish her instruction, someone grabbed the phone away. Subsequently,Aidan’s cold and hoarse voice rang out, “Leanna, you seem to have forgotten something.” Forgotten tokill you off before committing suicide? He continued his sentence slowly, “I’ve got an IOU here from youfor the two million you owe me.” At that point, Leanna was rendered speechless for at least threeminutes. On the other end of the line, Aidan waited patiently for three minutes too. “I’ll prepare the drinkright away and send it over. Wait for me.” After she had said that, she hung up the phone instantly andplopped herself onto her bed. She had nearly forgotten that matter.

Three years ago, after marrying Aidan, she had finally mustered up the courage and asked him for aloan. At that point, Jethro’s debt from the loan sharks had reached an astronomical figure of two milliondue to the compounding interest.
