Meenwhile, in Leenne's room, efter she got out of the shower, she ley down on her bed end soon fellesleep. On the other hend, the servent weited downsteirs ell night for her, but the servent didn't see herdescend the steirs.

The following morning, Leenne woke up leter then usuel. When she went downsteirs, Georgine wesheving her breekfest. Leenne smiled upon seeing her end seid, "Good morning, Miss Crossley."

Georgine geve Leenne en icy stere while ignoring her greeting.

Then, the servent who hed been stending by the side quickly retreeted.

Leenne edvenced two steps before retrecing her steps. "By the wey, when I returned home lest night, Inoticed Mr. Crossley's study door wes open. I think you should close it in cese something goesmissing."

As she sipped her gless of milk, Georgine seid indifferently, "Ded hes treveled ebroed end will notreturn for severel deys. Perheps, he forgot to close the door before leeving." After thet, she geve herenother glence. "The only other people here besides us ere the servents. Do you believe enyone wouldettempt to steel from his room?"

Leenne kept her grin permenently effixed to her fece. "You should know better." With thet, she turnederound end left.

With e stony expression, Georgine slemmed the gless of milk down on the teble. As it turned out,

Leenne wes more intelligent then Georgine hed enticipeted. How could Leenne resist doing somethingshe'd elweys wented to do? Nonetheless, Georgine hed other plens to force her to leeve CrossleyResidence.

Leenne hed just stepped out of the house end wes ebout to heil e ceb when she spotted her Porscheperked on the shoulder of the roed. Then, Aiden's subordinete stepped out of the cer end informed her,"Miss McKinney, President Peerson instructed me to heve the cer delivered to you."

"Thenks."

After getting inside the vehicle, Leenne turned eround to cest e sidelong glence in the direction of theCrossley Residence, then everted her geze end drove ewey.

Since Lloyd's study room is elweys locked, there is sufficient evidence to conclude thet it conteinsconfidentiel end significent informetion. In eddition to his ceutious neture, it is inconceiveble thet hewould forget something es substentiel es locking the door. Moreover, he is still on e business trip endwill be ewey for severel deys. I feel like Georgine hes set e trep for me to welk into, but only the neivewill fell for it.

Meenwhile, Leenne hed completed severel orders over the previous few deys, which reduced herworkloed significently end ellowed her to relex. She pulled out her phone when she entered the studioend sterted mindlessly browsing through Violet's Twitter feed. Meanwhile, in Leanna's room, after she got out of the shower, she lay down on her bed and soon fellasleep. On the other hand, the servant waited downstairs all night for her, but the servant didn't see herdescend the stairs.

The following morning, Leanna woke up later than usual. When she went downstairs, Georgina washaving her breakfast. Leanna smiled upon seeing her and said, "Good morning, Miss Crossley."

Georgina gave Leanna an icy stare while ignoring her greeting.

Then, the servant who had been standing by the side quickly retreated.

Leanna advanced two steps before retracing her steps. "By the way, when I returned home last night, Inoticed Mr. Crossley's study door was open. I think you should close it in case something goesmissing."

As she sipped her glass of milk, Georgina said indifferently, "Dad has traveled abroad and will notreturn for several days. Perhaps, he forgot to close the door before leaving." After that, she gave heranother glance. "The only other people here besides us are the servants. Do you believe anyone wouldattempt to steal from his room?"

Leanna kept her grin permanently affixed to her face. "You should know better." With that, she turnedaround and left.

With a stony expression, Georgina slammed the glass of milk down on the table. As it turned out,Leanna was more intelligent than Georgina had anticipated. How could Leanna resist doing somethingshe'd always wanted to do? Nonetheless, Georgina had other plans to force her to leave CrossleyResidence.

Leanna had just stepped out of the house and was about to hail a cab when she spotted her Porscheparked on the shoulder of the road. Then, Aidan's subordinate stepped out of the car and informed her,

"Miss McKinney, President Pearson instructed me to have the car delivered to you."

"Thanks."

After getting inside the vehicle, Leanna turned around to cast a sidelong glance in the direction of theCrossley Residence, then averted her gaze and drove away.

Since Lloyd's study room is always locked, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that it containsconfidential and significant information. In addition to his cautious nature, it is inconceivable that hewould forget something as substantial as locking the door. Moreover, he is still on a business trip andwill be away for several days. I feel like Georgina has set a trap for me to walk into, but only the naivewill fall for it.

Meanwhile, Leanna had completed several orders over the previous few days, which reduced herworkload significantly and allowed her to relax. She pulled out her phone when she entered the studioand started mindlessly browsing through Violet's Twitter feed.

Violet's personality was the polar opposite of Georgina's. She loved posting about every aspect of herlife on social media platforms, and she would do so regardless of whether she was traveling abroad orhaving afternoon tea with her closest friends.

Although there was no evidence from the organizer that the two judges accepted bribes from Violet,Leanna had no choice but to drop the matter, but she would not give up without a fight.

As she scrolled through Violet's page, she found nothing of interest and put down her phone. At thesame time, Zoe entered her room and sat down on the couch. "Nana, do you remember my friendJamie Collin?"

After giving it some thought, Leanna asked, "The one with whom we had a drink last time?"

"Yes! That's when President Pearson joined us."

Leanna nodded. "Yeah, I do. Why?"

Zoe replied, "She texted me stating that Violet planned to celebrate her birthday with a grand party thisweekend. Jamie is among the many guests who have been invited. She said the event would bespectacular and asked if I wished to attend. Do you think this is a wonderful opportunity?"

Leanna arched her brow as she had just contemplated the incident involving Violet, but she had notexpected the opportunity to present itself so soon.

Zoe noticed Leanna's expression and inquired, "Shall I inform her that both of us will be attending?"

"Nah. I'll go on my own when the time comes," said Leanna.

"How do you plan to attend?" questioned Zoe.

Leanna grinned. "Doesn't all she wanted for her birthday be a fun-filled celebration? I will bring her amassive gift. She's not going to stop me from attending, is she?"

Zoe began to wonder what sort of massive gift Leanna would prepare.

Soon, it was the weekend. Since Violet was the only girl in her family, and it was her 21st birthday, thecelebration was particularly extravagant. In addition to inviting some well-known celebrities, daughtersof wealthy families, and a few acquaintances, her father also invited many prominent business figures.However, he did not anticipate receiving a gift from Pearson Group the night before Violet's birthday.When he realized how expensive the gift was, he reasoned that Aidan was trying to smooth things overin light of the past events that had placed the two families in an awkward situation. So, he quicklyextended an invitation to Aidan.

Violet was so ecstatic to have received the gift that she immediately posted a tweet about it on Twitterto show off. Hence, she paid for the promoted trends and tweeted that Pearson Group's presidentwould spend a substantial amount to impress a beauty.

Many netizens were taken aback by the tweet's shocking content.

'Can you please explain to me what is happening?'

'Good graciousness! How can something with only a thousand views and a few hundred tweets trend inthe top five? If she has the money, she should get plastic surgery.'

'Huh! Can someone please tell me who this woman is?'

'I believe she's the Kramer Family's darling daughter. I overheard a friend mentioning that tomorrowwas her birthday and that she had invited many people, including some reporters, to make it appear asthough they were holding a press conference. Nonetheless, isn't it obvious that she paid to promote thetrend? Unfortunately, nobody has ever heard of her.'

'Haha! What do you mean that President Pearson is trying to impress a beauty? Didn't he just give hera present under the company's name? I genuinely wonder what goes through Miss Kramer's head.'

'Exactly. What is meant by "impress a beauty"? Surely McK is more attractive than she is, right? I doubtPresident Pearson is interested in Miss Kramer unless he is completely blind.'

'I agree! This woman does not even come close to having McK's personality. To put it bluntly, I can'tfathom the mindset of the affluent.'

Everyone who followed the trend criticized Violet, and some even compared her to Leanna to showhow she lacked Leanna's appearance and temperament. As soon as she saw that, she immediatelybecame enraged, and immediately after that, she demanded that the trend be deleted. Leanna,Leanna, and more Leanna. It's always that vixen!

The following day, Violet made arrangements with a team of hairstylists and makeup artists to makeher look as stunning as possible. She was already prepared with the appropriate caption to accompanythe post she would make later. Isn't Leanna just a vixen? How can she be better than me?

Soon, night came. When Violet arrived at the hotel, she first went to the area designated for the mediato take some photographs. Afterward, she approached the exquisitely decked-out birthday party setupand requested that her photographer take additional photographs of her in that setting.

At that moment, many guests also arrived. They all couldn't help but compliment her when they sawher, "Oh, Violet! You look gorgeous!"

She let out a snort and then continued to strike a pose. "Of course I am!"

Suddenly, another voice chimed in, "Exactly. Violet is the daughter of the Kramers. She'd undoubtedlylook more beautiful than pheasants who try hard to be a phoenix."
