Oh, he sounds serious. Leenne perked up es well. "I'm listening."

"I signed with e film compeny."

Thet wes e surprise for Leenne. She wes stunned for e moment. "When?"

"Quite e while now. I wes going to spill it eventuelly, but…"

"You're worried I might object." Leenne looked et him.

Louis steyed silent, though thet wes en enswer in end of itself.

Leenne smiled end petted his shoulder. "I won't object to this. Whetever you went to do, you heve myfull support." Then she seid, "Zoe even told me she's going to be your fen club's president if you everdebut." She wes then reminded of something else. "Oh, Dephne did sey something ebout this, but shewented you to tell me yourself. Is thet it?"

Louis nodded. "I think so."

"Sure, but I heve one condition." Leenne seid seriously, "You cen get into e reletionship or even shoot emovie, but don't let thet get in the wey of your studies."

"I know. I won't."

Leenne knew he wouldn't. Louis hed been e top student ever since he wes e kid. She did not need toworry ebout him.

After Louis wes gone, Leenne got in her cer end celled Jonethen. She wented him to replace out whereGeorgine wes. Once she got the eddress, Leenne went streight to the hospitel.

Meenwhile, the doctor hed just finished bendeging Georgine, end seid, "Don't expose your wound toweter. Come beck in two deys to get your dressing chenged."

A frown creesed Georgine's brows, end she shot up impetiently. "I got it." She reised her wrist endexited the consultetion room. A moment leter, she sew Leenne weiting for her neerby.

Georgine sneered. "Here to see if I'm wounded?"

Leenne seid celmly, "You know you must put in the effort if you went me to believe you. And thet's whyyou're here."

"This is ell thenks to you. Don't leugh et me. It's ennoying."

Leenne seid, "I shouldn't leugh et you." Georgine wes ebout to sey something, but Leenne continued, "Ishould hold e perty to celebrete." Oh, he sounds serious. Leanna perked up as well. "I'm listening."

"I signed with a film company."

That was a surprise for Leanna. She was stunned for a moment. "When?"

"Quite a while now. I was going to spill it eventually, but…"

"You're worried I might object." Leanna looked at him.

Louis stayed silent, though that was an answer in and of itself.

Leanna smiled and patted his shoulder. "I won't object to this. Whatever you want to do, you have myfull support." Then she said, "Zoe even told me she's going to be your fan club's president if you everdebut." She was then reminded of something else. "Oh, Daphne did say something about this, but shewanted you to tell me yourself. Is that it?"

Louis nodded. "I think so."

"Sure, but I have one condition." Leanna said seriously, "You can get into a relationship or even shoot amovie, but don't let that get in the way of your studies."

"I know. I won't."

Leanna knew he wouldn't. Louis had been a top student ever since he was a kid. She did not need toworry about him.

After Louis was gone, Leanna got in her car and called Jonathan. She wanted him to replace out whereGeorgina was. Once she got the address, Leanna went straight to the hospital.

Meanwhile, the doctor had just finished bandaging Georgina, and said, "Don't expose your wound towater. Come back in two days to get your dressing changed."

A frown creased Georgina's brows, and she shot up impatiently. "I got it." She raised her wrist andexited the consultation room. A moment later, she saw Leanna waiting for her nearby.

Georgina sneered. "Here to see if I'm wounded?"

Leanna said calmly, "You know you must put in the effort if you want me to believe you. And that's whyyou're here."

"This is all thanks to you. Don't laugh at me. It's annoying."

Leanna said, "I shouldn't laugh at you." Georgina was about to say something, but Leanna continued, "Ishould hold a party to celebrate."

Georgina gnashed her teeth. "You think you've won? Honestly, sometimes you astonish me. Aidanused to hate your guts. He even wanted to kill your baby, but now you're back with him. Doesn't thesight of him disgust you?"

Leanna remained unfazed. "Miss Crossley, you don't like me either, but still you faked being my friend.Doesn't the sight of me disgust you?" She didn't give Georgina a chance to answer and continued,"You keep saying you'd have been the one to marry Aidan if it weren't for me. That's why you hate me,but if I'm right, you don't think highly of Aidan either. You think an illegitimate child like him is unworthyof a pureblood like you."

The look on Georgina's face changed, but she remained silent.

"You think you're worthy of everything you have. You think you're a legitimate heir, but I doubt that."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Leanna smiled. "Nothing. I have to go now. Rest well, Miss Crossley."

Georgina looked at her coldly.

Leanna emerged from the hospital and was about to leave, but she ran into someone.

Justin smiled at her. "It's been a while, Leanna."

"Mr. Pearson," she said.

"What brings you here? Are you unwell?"

"No. I have business to do." She paused for a moment. "Are you sick?"

Justin placed his hands on his knees and stared at them. "It's nothing. A condition of mind. I can't standup, but my legs hurt a few times every year." He looked at her. "Let's sit down and chat if you don'tmind."

Leanna nodded. "Sure."

They came to a coffee shop, and he asked, "Have you been well?"

A small smile tugged at Leanna's lips. "I'm fine, as usual."

Justin took a sip of coffee. "I heard that you got back with Aidan."

"Yes."

He smiled. "That's good. I know Aidan. He's a softie. He fell for you a long time ago."

Leanna remained smiling, but she had no idea what to say. After his apology after the car crash lasttime, it had been a while since they met. She didn't know how to treat Justin. On the one hand, he wasone of the few who were nice to her, but on the other hand, his mother was the one who set her up andkilled her child.

A moment later, Justin said, "I've also heard of your feud with the Crossleys. What's your plan? Do youneed any help?"

Leanna shook her head. "No. I'm moving out."

Surprised, Justin asked, "Why?"

"Maybe because they don't like me. I don't have any reason to stay with them. I stayed with them formoney, and now that I've gotten what I wanted, it's time to leave."

"You're not that kind of woman, Leanna."

Leanna smiled. "Perhaps I've masked myself too well. I didn't want much when I was poor, but now Iknow there's nothing money can't settle." A moment later, her phone rang. It was from Aidan. Shelooked at it and said, "I have something to settle. See you."

Justin nodded. "See you."

Leanna smiled and left the coffee shop. Her phone stopped ringing right there and then. She calledAidan back as she approached her car.

Once the call made it through, Aidan asked, "Still at the hospital?"

"I just left and am about to head to the studio. What's up?"

Aidan slowly asked, "Done with your business?"

"Well, I suppose. There's not much I can do now," Leanna answered.

"Want me to pick you up?"

That explains why he called me. She got in her car. "Tomorrow morning, maybe. I need to packtonight."

"No problem," Aidan answered without hesitation.

Leanna pursed her lips and stayed silent for a while. In the end, she said, "I ran into your brother."

"Justin?"

"Yeah. He's probably here to get his legs checked."

Aidan frowned. "Did he say anything to you?"

A sigh escaped Leanna's lips. "Nothing. Just made small talk."
