Chapter 452

Leroy's room had been burned so badly that Leanna could hardly make out the room's originalappearance. The safe on the wall was also deformed by the fire, and its door was loosely hanging. Thecontents inside had all been burned to ashes.

Just as she was taking her time watching everything, Aidan's voice came from behind. "Was RonSedley the person who gave you the things?"

She gave a small hum in reply.

Hearing that, he asked again, "How did you know the password?"

She started to recall and, before long, spoke in a calm voice. "I remember how my biological father'sbirthday was the same as Lloyd and Leroy's. I gave it a try, then. I didn't think I'd get lucky."

"Do you have any other memories of your biological father?"

Leanna shook her head. "I don't even remember how he looks. How can I remember anything else?"

"Do you want to see him again?"

Leanna took some time before she turned to look at Aidan. "I can confirm now that my guesses are allwrong," she concluded solemnly. "It's because you're always talking about nonsensical things like this."

The corners of his lips curled into a smile. "Alright, have you finished your sightseeing? Let's leave if

you are."

"Let's go," Leanna agreed. It wasn't like there was much to see there.

She went back to her room and took out the suitcase from the closet. She then took away all theclothes that could be worn, still following her principle of not wasting any resources.

After getting in the car, Aidan tapped the steering wheel with his long fingers and asked casually, "Whatare Ron Sedley's conditions?"

Leanna started putting on her seatbelt as she asked, "What?"

"He didn't have any conditions for helping you?"

"Nope. He probably didn't mention anything because I helped him before." Her tone was soft; it waslike she had anticipated everything.

Aidan's forehead immediately wrinkled when he looked at her. "You mean when you sent him to thehospital?"

"Not really… But there's another reason."

When Aidan didn't say anything in return, she added, "Geez, it's too complicated to tell you everythingnow. I'll tell you some other time."

"Don't meet up with him alone again in the future."

Leanna paused when she heard that, but she eventually asked, "Are the Pearsons still trying to get ahold of him?"

"What do you think?"

She hesitated for a second before bringing up the topic. "Um… Can I—"

"No." Already knowing what she was going to say, he rejected her without any hesitation.

"But I haven't said anything!"

"I know what you're thinking. You're trying to get me to make my father let Ron off the hook."

She quickly explained, "It was just a passing, hypothetical question. It's not like I want you to do it. Also,I wouldn't want to make things difficult for you if it's too much trouble."

"Leanna." Aidan gave her a side-eye and laughed without warning. "Why do you always rememberthese little favors so clearly? Did you forget what he has done to you?"

"I haven't forgotten anything, but all that happened a long time ago. Instead of remembering otherpeople's wrongdoings, it's better to remember his good deeds. Life's easier that way. In all fairness, henever really took the first step to harm me. It was because of the usury Jethro owed at first, and then..."

Not wanting to mention Queenie, she came to a halt before continuing, "Compared to all that, I shouldremember what he's done for me. It's fine if you can't handle it from your side. I'll try my best to repayhim myself."

Aidan's dark eyes narrowed slightly when he heard that. "I can handle this matter, but I have acondition."

"What is it?" she asked tentatively.

"Stay with me at Castor Villa."

Hearing this, she pursed her lips and quietly let her head hang.

His voice rang out again during her silence. "I know you have many unhappy memories there, but Ipromise I will spend the rest of my time making good memories with you there."

Leanna was just about to say something when she heard him say, "Leanna, that's our home."

Those words took her aback, and she didn't know what to say at that instant.

After a while, she muttered, "Give me a few days to think about it."

"Sure." He slightly raised his sleek eyebrows.

She lowered the car window, and after glancing at the villa engulfed in the darkness behind them, sheprompted, "Let's go."

And throughout the rest of the drive, she was deep in her thoughts as she stared out the window.

Aidan took a glance at her. "Leanna?" he called out after licking his thin lips.

"Mm?" She came back to her senses. "What's the matter?"

"Work's pretty easy these days. I can send you to the studio. Wait for me at night."

"But I have a car. You should just focus on doing your thing."

He only calmly informed her, "Your car broke down."

Seeing the confused look on her face, he remained impassive as he told her, "When Jonathan askedsomeone to drive you back, your car was rear-ended, and Jonathan had to send it in for repair."

"I can take a cab."

"You're really against me picking you up, aren't you?" he grumbled out of dissatisfaction.

Sleepy, Leanna stretched out her limbs. "I just don't think it's necessary with how much trouble I'llcause you. Your work's more important, and it's not like I can't do all that by myself."

"Let's talk about this when we catch Leroy and Georgina."

Knowing what he was worried about, she didn't refute anymore. After arriving at the apartment, Leannatook a set of her pajamas and went into the bathroom. The clothes she had on still reeked of smoke.

Aidan only looked away with a stony face when the bathroom door was closed. He took out his phonefrom his pants pocket and dialed Jonathan's number. "How are things now?"

"He's still in the emergency room. It's… not looking so good."

"Get the best doctor to save him."

Jonathan hummed a reply and continued, "We've looked into it, President Pearson. Other than thebrakes, the gas pedal has also been tampered with. If he jumped out of the car any later, he wouldhave—"

"Enough." Aidan stopped him from elaborating.

"Should we investigate who did it?"

"Who would act at such a crucial time other than Leroy and Georgina? Widen the scope of the searchand replace these two people as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir."

After the call ended, Aidan tossed his phone on the couch and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Almost.

The culprit was this close to getting Leanna this time.

If Leanna was the one who drove the car tonight, she would be the one lying in the emergency room.

In the bathroom, Leanna felt much more at ease after taking a shower. Even her fatigue haddisappeared. After blowing her hair half-dry, she was about to go to the kitchen to see if there was

anything to eat when Aidan suddenly walked over and hugged her.

Surprised that he was waiting for her, she raised her hand to pat him on the shoulder. "Take… Take iteasy. I can't breathe."

"I'm the one who can't breathe."

She quickly noticed how his voice sounded lower than usual, as though he was holding somethingback. Instead of struggling against his hold, she asked in a small voice, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Just let me hug you for a bit."

This b*stard's trying to take advantage of me, isn't he?
