Chapter 259

At the studio, the people from the consumer group left after asking some questions. Nothing that Carlilehad hoped would happen turned out in that way.

After they were gone, Zoe clicked her tongue a couple of times. "I didn't think that it would feel thisamazing to have backup."

The store girl next to her didn't understand what she meant and asked dumbly, "What backup?"

Leanna happened to walk over right then and overheard them, and she couldn't help but chuckle. "It'snothing. Don't listen to her nonsense."

Knowing that this wasn't something she should worry about, the store girl turned around and trotted offto get busy.

Standing at the reception, Leanna sorted out all of Carlile's purchase records at the studio. BesidesCarlile, the others who claimed that they had purchased forged items from the studio were merelydoing it on purpose to make the situation worse.

With Carlile leading the pack in the beginning, even if the studio clarified that those people were nottheir customers, probably nobody would believe them and would think that they were just trying todivert the attention instead.

Looking at those records, Zoe said, "Luckily I took pictures as memento for every finished product. Orelse, we would have really fallen into their trap."

In addition to that, Leanna always purchased all the jewelry accessories from a supplier who hadproper partners. The supplier was cooperating with many luxury brands and would never sell fakes.

"Georgina probably knows that this could only cause a huge commotion but leave a small impact. Eventhough it's a huge issue now, it's only a matter of time before the truth comes out," Leanna said.

"What's her purpose for doing this, then?" Zoe asked, puzzled.

Leanna smirked. "Maybe she wants to teach me a lesson to vent her frustrations."

"What the hell?! She's sick!"

"Ever since Aidan canceled the engagement, Georgina has always thought that it happened becauseof me and kept mocking me. Throw in what happened at the birthday party that day when Iembarrassed her, how could she take all of this lying down?"

Zoe shook her head. "No, you're wrong."

"Huh?"

"Didn't I already tell you that Georgina is a hypocrite? She wasn't even engaged to Aidan at that time,but she approached you on purpose. Looking back now, it seems like she has planned it for a longtime." After a two second pause, she scratched her chin and said in a serious tone, "On the other hand,it's not wrong of Georgina to think that Aidan canceled the engagement because of you."

Leanna was speechless, and just as Zoe finished speaking, the man she just mentioned showed up atthe studio.

Clearing her throat, Zoe then came up with an excuse and slipped into the lounge.

Although the studio didn't close down for investigation, it was especially quiet today because of thecomments on the Internet in addition to some other external factors. Hence, there was not a singlecustomer at the moment.

The moment Aidan stepped into the studio, it was as though he had returned to his own home—plopping himself into the couch in a familiar and natural manner. With a frown, he said, "Make me a cupof coffee."

A dumbstruck Leanna thought, This b*stard actually has the cheeks to say this. Does he think that thisis his company?

Setting aside the papers she was sorting in her hands, she then turned into the pantry and made a cupof instant coffee.

After placing the coffee in front of him, she said unhappily, "You really make yourself at home, don'tyou?"

"You're making me self-conscious by saying that," he said, picking up the cup.

He took a sip of the coffee as his handsome brows knitted together. However, he didn't say anythingand simply placed the cup back on the coffee table.

"What brought you here, President Pearson? Please go back if there's nothing. I'm busy and can'tattend to you," Leanna said.

Aidan lifted his gaze and swept his eyes across the empty room at that. "Are you busy?"

"Just go straight to the point, President Pearson," she snapped, gritting her teeth.

Crossing his long legs, he said leisurely, "Yes, I asked you not to confront Georgina in person, but youshouldn't allow her to pick on you like you're a soft tomato."

"So, you mean—"

"Why didn't you come and look for me immediately after this happened?"

Leanna couldn't help but laugh out loud. "So, you're saying that I shouldn't have a head-on argumentwith Georgina after she provoked me but complain to you afterward?"

"It's just the rational use of allocating effective resources to reach the maximum benefit."

Seconds later, Leanna responded, "You don't have to worry about this, President Pearson. I'll take careof it well."

The look on Aidan's face turned cold. "I almost forgot that you still have Elijah. It's true that I don't haveto worry."

Silently, she cursed, This b*stard must be crazy. He can change topics so easily, huh? Just a secondago we're speaking about Georgina, and all of a sudden he switched to Elijah.

In a serious tone, she reminded him, "I think, if you have the time to care about this, why don't youreflect on your own actions and why Georgina has her eyes on me?"

"Shouldn't you be the one to reflect on this?" His slender fingers tapped his knee gently as he saidcasually, "Maybe you don't know that Georgina already wanted to marry me three years ago. If it wasn'tbecause you pulled my sleeves and begged me to marry you, she might have already become Mrs.Pearson."

She sniggered, "In conclusion, I was the one who spoiled your plans, huh?"

"It's not wrong for you to see it that way."

If Leanna had a broom in her hands, she would really want to chase him out.

Barely a few seconds had passed when Elijah's voice echoed from behind, "Hey, Leanna."

Turning around, she then smiled gently at him. Meanwhile, Aidan's eyes fell on his face, and his eyesnarrowed, feeling that the smile was hurting his eyes very much.

Elijah's eyes swept past Aidan, and he said nonchalantly, "Oh, you're here, too."

"Looks like Constellation Tech doesn't have much to do at the end of the year," Aidan said. "You'requite free, President Parker."

"I'm alright compared to you, President Pearson."

Seeing that the air between the men was getting more tense, Leanna cleared her throat. "Would youguys like something to eat? I'll order some snacks."

Almost simultaneously, both of them answered, "Yes."

Leanna's eyelid twitched and she quickly fished out her phone. After placing her order, she said, "Takea seat. I'm going to use the bathroom."

Then, she hurriedly escaped, and when she was out of the bathroom, she forcibly dragged Zoe out.However, by the time they came out, Elijah was no longer in the studio.

Taking a look around, Leanna asked, "Where's Elijah?"

In a laid-back manner, Aidan drank his cup of instant coffee. "He left because of work."

Leanna frowned at him. "What did you do again?"

An unhappy look washed over his face. "What do you mean by that?"

"Before this, weren't you the one who did something so that the annual meeting of Constellation Techended up at the resort?"

Pressing his lips together, he then queried in a stoic voice, "Did Elijah tell you this?"

"That doesn't matter. Isn't this the truth?" she asked.
