Chapter 4

The Pearsons, who disliked Leanna from the beginning, came to detest her even further after the fakepregnancy came to light. Due to that, they had been treating Leanna as if she did not exist. No wonderAidan was so angry. It turns out that I touched on the wrong subject. … After heading back, Leannawaited another few days for Aidan’s response. Yet, there was still no news from him. Their briefmeeting at Patheon Club that night made her suspect the reason why he was so desperately draggingthis on; it was clearly to spite her so that she would be recognized as someone’s wife who was beingcheated on. Is he using this to take revenge against what I did to him in the past? Even though he waswilling to drag this out, she was not. She only planned on taking action for her future after settling thematters of the divorce. Still, she had to live her own life instead of sitting around like this. After hearingthat Leanna was seeking a job, Zoe put down the bag of chips in her hands and said excitedly, “Comework for our magazine! I heard that they are searching for a designer in hopes of establishing a brand.”Despite being hyped up by her friend, Leanna frowned upon hearing it. “Can I… even do it? I haven’tpublished anything in three years.” “Sweetie, you can do it. Besides, you can always try. It’s not like youhave anything to lose.” Thinking that her words made sense, Leanna nodded. “Okay.” Due to Zoe beingthe type to immediately act on what she said, she brought Leanna’s work from three years ago to theeditor-in-chief’s office the next day. After looking through everything, Harvey Mancini, the head editorsaw the signature in the design and stated, “McK’s your friend?” “Yes. She’s super capable and herdesigns are all very unique. We’ll only stand to lose if we do not sign her.” Of course, Harvey knew howcapable she was. McK’s appearance in the field of jewelry design resembled a rose bloom whichappeared for a fleeting moment before disappearing. Some said that she lost her inspiration aftergetting the award, so she stopped producing any more designs. Some also said that a wealthyindividual fancied her, so she married into money and lived a quiet life ever since. All in all, there wereall sorts of rumors floating around. However, he did not expect that after three years, she would returnjust as everybody was about to forget her existence. With that, Harvey asked, “Is she free tonight?Let’s discuss this over dinner.” Knowing well that this was already a done deal, Zoe nodded instantly.“She is. I’ll tell her right now.” … At dinner, Leanna and Harvey were getting along fairly well. Eventhough she kept emphasizing the fact that she had not drawn anything these three years, he stated that

he did not bother him as he only wanted her to create a rough sketch based on a specific style withinthe week. If the big boss approved of the idea, then they would proceed with signing the contract. Thenight was no longer young after they had finished their meal, so Harvey offered his kindness. “It isn’teasy to hail a cab around these areas. Just to be safe, I should send you two back.” “Sure, I’ll go to thetoilet first.” Zoe looked at Leanna. “Nana, do you need to use the toilet too?” “Let’s go.” Out of courtesy,Zoe responded, “Please wait for us for a bit, Mr. Mancini. We’ll be back soon.” The smiling Harveyreplied, “It’s okay. Take your time.” After exiting the stall, Zoe washed her hands while saying, “This isgreat! We’ve succeeded!” Leanna, who did not think that things would progress so smoothly, was still abit uneasy. “I’m just worried that the design I come up with might not meet your boss’ standard. If thathappens, I would be so sorry to you and Mr. Mancini.” To this, Zoe only replied, “You’re thinking toomuch, sweetie. Our boss is a happy-go-lucky old man. He’s very sweet and doesn’t really manageanything. So, Mr. Mancini basically calls the shots in our magazine. Just treat it as a formality. Since Mr.Mancini values you so much, it’s almost a done deal.” Just as she was finished, the sound of high heelscame from the toilet’s entrance. The next moment, Mia appeared in front of them. As both parties didnot expect to meet each other here, they were all stunned as Mia snorted afterward. “What a leech,following us wherever we go.” While using a tissue to dry her hands, Leanna retorted nonchalantly, “Ifyou’re looking for a beating, just say it. You don’t have to say things like this.” “You…” Since the lastincident, Mia knew that she would not win against Leanna when it came to a fight. Besides, there weretwo of them now, so her chances of winning were minimized. Zoe added, “What were you going to say?Do you want me to promote what a mistress looks like over here with a megaphone?” A sneering Miarebuked, “Leanna, aren’t you shameless? Have you forgotten about how you got married to Aidan inthe first place? Calling me a mistress? I don’t see how you’re much better than me. What, you reallythink that after you’ve moved up in society, you can be a righteous b*tch?” However, just as Zoe wasabout to snap back, Leanna held her back. Looking at Mia calmly, Leanna asked, “Did Aidan tell youthis?” Since Mia was not the sharpest tool in the shed, Leanna concluded that she only knew of thisrecently as Mia did not utilize this as her weapon during their last two meetings; not to mention howsmug she was looking compared to before. “That’s right. He said that he loathed women like you and

that it was his biggest regret meeting you at the club. You’re just like dog sh*t. After washing it away,you would still stink of it. I would rather scrub my skin off if I came into contact with you.” After herround of dissing battle, Mia only felt fear as she noticed that Leanna was emotionless. With that, Miatook a step back to prevent another slap on her face again. To her surprise, all Leanna did was throwthe used tissue in the trash can and exited the toilet, no longer having any intention to interact with herat all. Seeing this, Zoe followed her. “Nana, don’t mind what that woman said. That shameless couple;they both deserve to rot. Just think of her words as dog barks… or farts! Promise me you won’t bemad…” Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the shameless man standing not far away fromthem while he was chatting with someone. Leanna, who treated him invisibly, did not even spare him aglance and walked away briskly. Oscar Woodley felt a sense of bloodlust behind his back and turnedaround only to see the approaching woman before questioning, “Isn’t that your wife? What’s she doinghere?” Looking at who Oscar was referring to, Aidan frowned as a speck of impatience flashed acrosshis eyes. She even followed me here, yet she’s still talking about a simple divorce? When has thiswoman sunk deeper? Seeing that she was approaching them, Aidan was just about to speak beforeLeanna passed them without any signs of stopping or even a glance at him. She emotionlessly brushedpast him like a gust of wind. Naturally, he was caught speechless at that sight. On the contrary, it wasZoe, who was following Leanna, that stopped and opened her mouth. At that moment, she was aboutto tell him off, but sensing that it might not be the best time, she chased after her friend again. As thewhole situation was witnessed by Oscar, he could only laugh somewhat awkwardly. “Did I recognizethe wrong person?” Aidan did not like his wife. In fact, one could even say that he detested her. Thiswas a fact that everybody in the upper society knew.
