In reply to those comments and posts that were criticizing Leanna, the official account of the PearsonGroup would leave answers that were concise, straight to the point and downright mean.

Gradually, the people who were applauding the Pearson Group account started to be hostile toward it.

'This person must be sick. Ridiculous!'

'This must be a fake account. Otherwise, it's hacked.'

'Will the employees of the Pearson Group put in a little more effort? Why are you joining in the fun atsuch a time? You should be fired! Oh, I'm so mad!'

'Will the relevant supervisor of Pearson Group take care of this? This employee is like a mad man. Ionly criticized McKinney, and not him. Why did he come for me out of nowhere?'

While the Internet trolls were speechless, a certified Twitter account belonging to a senior manager ofthe Pearson Group tweeted, 'Thanks, but there's nothing I can do about this because the one holdingthe official account now is President Pearson.'

Everyone was dumbstruck, and immediately afterward, the Lux Jewelry employee who broke the newsbefore posted another tweet. 'I told you so, but nobody believed me then. The ex-husband of McK isPresident Pearson.'

Within thirty seconds of this tweet, the comments beneath her previous tweet that were criticizing

Leanna were all deleted without a trace.

Right when everyone thought that the president who was taking charge of the Twitter account wouldcontinue arguing with the Internet trolls, he suddenly issued a grave statement.

'All comments and posts with malicious intent toward Miss McKinney are untrue. Miss McKinney wasonce the legal wife of the president of Pearson Group, and even though they divorced due to somemisunderstanding, they have maintained a friendly relationship the whole time and President Pearsonis trying to win her back at the moment. Please make sensible comments or the Pearson Group willreserve the right to sue for personal attacks and pursue legal responsibility.'

As a huge corporation, the lawyers employed by the Pearson Group were the elites of the industry.Once they had really sent the solicitor's letter of demand, they would definitely proceed with the legalprocedures and not joke about it.

All of a sudden, the discussions on the Internet came to an abrupt stop.

The paid ghostwriters and business accounts were doing this because they were paid, anyway, andnow that the matter had blown up, they could possibly be thrown under the bus, too.

Meanwhile, after Carlile saw the statement posted by the official account of Pearson Group, her faceturned pale, and she slumped into the couch as though her energy was all drained out.

Suddenly, something popped into her mind after a few good minutes, and she hurriedly scrambled forher phone. With trembling hands, she called Georgina and stammered, "M-Miss Crossley, have youseen the news on the Internet? Leanna McKinney… S-She's the—"

"I know."

Panic-stricken, Carlile uttered, "It's over. It's a gone case this time!"

With a hint of annoyance in her voice, Georgina said, "Why are you panicking? Didn't I already tell youthat nobody can do anything to you if you insist that the jewelry you received is already in thatcondition?"

"B-But it's the Pearson Group we're speaking about! They can easily see through this cheap trick ofmine." Tentatively, she asked, "Should I just make a public apology now?"

"Aren't you just proving that you're guilty if you apologize now? Leanna didn't even bring forward anyevidence yet, so I don't know what you're afraid of."

Carlile bit her lip. "But Miss Georgina, I'm afraid of offending the Pearson Group… I may even getcensored."

Georgina sniggered. "What a joke! Do you really think that Aidan Pearson can hoodwink the public?"

"After all, the power of the Pearson Family is—"

"The Pearsons are powerful, but what about my family?"

Without a doubt, Georgina was just trying to assure her with her words, but she didn't dare to be asbrazen as she was anymore while waiting to see the reaction from Leanna's studio. Once theyprovided the evidence, she would apologize immediately.

Meanwhile at Leanna's studio, they didn't take advantage of the statement by the Pearson Group,which was still a hot discussion. Instead, they remained silent and didn't respond to anything.

However, the quieter they were, the more anxious it made Carlisle, wondering what they were up to.

…

"The b*stard really renewed my knowledge of him. A knight in shining armor. Oh, how many womenwouldn't be touched?"

While Leanna was quiet, Zoe set her phone aside and dashed into the kitchen. "Nana, are you sureyou don't want to have a look?"

"Yes," Leanna replied, rinsing the vegetables and continuing to chop up something else.

After that, Zoe read out all the replies by Aidan word-by-word, and it didn't make any difference whetherLeanna read it or not.

Picking up an apple, Zoe then started to bite into it as she leaned against the kitchen door frame."Looks like Elijah lost this round."

Actually, he didn't lose this round; he simply never won before.

Silently, Leanna sighed. "That's enough. Get Louis here for dinner."

"Oh, okay. I'll give him a call right away."

After Zoe left, Leanna peered at the cell phone next to her and paused for a few seconds. Then, asthough she was pierced, she quickly kept her gaze away.

Initially, she didn't plan to deal with the comments on the Internet. It wasn't like she had never beencriticized before. There were still two more days to Christmas, and once the celebrations were over,she would slowly drop the hammer. One by one, she would hit Carlile with her blows and replace thechance to draw Georgina out as well.

Despite that, she didn't expect Aidan to cause this commotion now, throwing her off guard and intoconfusion.

Although he had done no less of sweet-talking recently, it didn't occur to Leanna that he could go to thisextent, which was rather astonishing.

Who would have expected that the president of the Pearson Group would stoop so low as to argue withnetizens using his company's official Twitter account? Besides his mouth which was as mean as it hadalways been, none of his other actions were fitting with him at all.

However, this fight also changed everyone's stereotyped opinion of Aidan. Some even suggested that ifhe would start a lecture to teach others the art of arguing without the use of a single curse word, theywouldn't mind paying for the class.

During dinner, Zoe couldn't help but wave her hand across Leanna's face when she caught hersmirking goofily. "What's on your mind?"

Hurriedly, Leanna set her thoughts aside and cleared her throat, her ears turning pinkish. "Nothing, I-

I'm eating."

Pouting, Zoe said indirectly, "It's Christmas Eve in two days' time. What are we doing? Do you guyshave any plans?"

"We'll just stay at home, I guess," Leanna said. Then, she recalled the tragic situation the last time andquickly added, "Only the three of us! Don't invite or tell anyone else!"

"You're just playing the ostrich," Louis muttered.

"Huh?" she blurted.

Zoe nodded in agreement. "Yeah. On Christmas Eve, you'll definitely be having dinner. Even withoutthe need to invite, the person who should be here will show up for sure."

Her words left Leanna speechless.
