Get It Over With “Don’t worry. Leave this to me. I’ll get a good price.” Louis nodded. “Thank you.” Themanager of Patheon Club said, “You don’t need to be so courteous with me, but… are you sure youwon’t regret this?” “What’s there to regret? Compared to this, money’s more important right now.” Themanager sighed. “Okay. I’ll get it done as soon as I can.” “Alright,” Louis said before turning to leave.The manager moved away, but when he spotted the man standing nearby, he walked over at once. “Mr.Pearson.”

Aidan stood there quietly, dressed in a plain white shirt. His hands were stuck in his pants pockets ashe stared in the direction where Louis had gone. “What does he need money for?” he asked plainly.The manager was breaking out in cold sweat as he recalled that Louis had hit Aidan before, but hecould not leave Aidan’s question unanswered. “His family seems to have run into some trouble.” “Howmuch does he want?” “150 thousand…” Aidan snorted. He forgot how greedy that entire family was asit was always at least six figures.

He said nothing, and the manager’s heart was about to beat out of his chest in silence. Eventually, themanager said, “I’ll get going now if there’s nothing else, Mr. Pearson.” “Go on.” Once the managerwalked off, Oscar appeared from the side. “You’re not going to ask what happened?” “Not interested,”Aidan retorted coolly as he walked off. After leaving Patheon Club, Aidan received a call from a numbernot on his contacts list. He frowned and answered the call, only to hear Leanna’s careful voice. “Areyou busy right now, Mr. Pearson?” “Say what you want.” “I…” Leanna hesitated for the longest timeabout what to say.

The moment she heard Aidan’s icy voice, she regretted making the call. Aidan got impatient. “Whydon’t I say it for you?” Leanna was startled. “Huh? I—” “How much do you want? 150 thousand? 300thousand?” “That’s not what I meant. I just wanted—” He cut her off. “Leanna McKinney, did I dosomething today to let you assume that you can come to me and ask for money?” She fell silent. Shedid not know what to say. “You’re not an eighteen-year-old girl who’s innocent and gullible.

You don’t think that a kiss proves that I like you, right?” Aidan questioned coolly. “We’ve slept togetherso many times now. If I was ever going to like you, I would’ve by now, don’t you think?” “I didn’t thinkthat,” Leanna said tersely. “Good. There’s no point even if you had such thoughts.” Aidan ended thecall at once. Less than two minutes later, Jonathan was put out of his misery when he received a textfrom Aidan telling him that he did not need a female companion anymore. This… Did they get into afight again? …

Leanna clutched her phone and sat by the window for the longest time. She had only meant to ask ifshe could delay this month’s repayment to next month instead. Who would have known that he was insuch a foul mood? She had not even said anything to set him off, but he exploded at her and assumedthe worst of her. She would have to become insane before she would even think that he liked her. Aftera while, Leanna called Jethro, but sure enough, the call did not go through. She sent him a text beforetossing her phone aside and closing her eyes to rest. After waiting for three days, she finally received acall from him and he seemed to be using some sort of landline. He sounded frantic but fairly pleased ashe asked, “My beloved daughter, do you mean it? Are you going to give me some money?”

“Yeah. Come and take it tomorrow.” “Let’s not wait until tomorrow. Where are you staying? I’ll come toyou now.” “I haven’t gathered it yet. Come tomorrow, or else, don’t come at all.” “Sure, sure. Tomorrowit is,” Jethro agreed at once. Leanna gave him an address and hung up at once without wasting any

more of her breath. The next day, as soon as she walked out of her door, she saw Louis standing infront of her. “I’m coming with you,” Louis declared. “Don’t do anything reckless, okay? No matter what,don’t get into a fight with them.” “Got it.” Once they arrived at the agreed-upon location, Ron and hismen were already waiting for them. When he spotted Leanna, he got up and asked, “Did you bring themoney?”

She took a card out. “It’s in here.” Ron stuck his hand out to take it from her, but she said, “Hang on.We need to wait for one more person.” He frowned. “Are you trying to pull some kind of trick on me?”“There’s just the two of us. What tricks can we pull?” “Fine. I’ll give you ten minutes.” Leanna stoodthere in silence with a cold expression. Ron could not help himself from scrutinizing her. Three yearsago, when he went to collect Jethro’s debt, she left a deep impression on him. She was beautiful,intelligent, and quick on her feet. She would have had a bright future ahead of her had she not endedup with such a father. It was a pity. A few minutes later, the door opened and Jethro called outcheerfully, “Leanna, the money…”

He paused when he spotted the men, after which his expression changed and he immediately turned torun. Ron reacted at once. “Get him!” Jethro had not gone very far before he was pushed to the groundand given a kick in the abdomen. Once he lost all the fight in him, he was carted off into the privateroom. As soon as he was ushered in, he began to yell, “Leanna McKinney, you rotten b*tch! I’m the onewho raised you, but you worked with these guys to set a trap for me?! I’m…” He received a punch tothe stomach before he could finish his sentence. Ron looked over at Leanna.

“Ready to hand over the money now?” She passed the card over to him with a straight face. He wasabout to get one of his men to check the amount inside the card when she said, “Don’t bother checking.There’s only 7,500 in there.” Ron’s expression darkened at once. “Are you toying with me?” “That’s allthe money I could gather.” Leanna glanced at Jethro. “He’s the one who owes you money. I lured himout for you now, so shouldn’t you be asking him for money?” Ron and Jethro did not expect that thiswas her plan as Jethro began to curse at once.

His mouth was so foul that even Ron became annoyed. Jethro settled down after taking a few morepunches. Leanna said coolly, “If you don’t want the 7,500, fine. Just beat him up and get it over with. I’llfinally get some peace back in my life.” “Little girl, that’s not how it works.” Ron narrowed his eyes andstepped closer to her. Louis stepped in front of Leanna and glared at Ron.

He was half a head taller than Ron, which made Ron seem a lot less intimidating in comparison.Without even turning to look, he called out to his men, “Beat him up.” At once, the room was filled withJethro’s agonized cries. Leanna forced herself to not see what was happening, but she heard all hisscreams nonetheless. She felt a surge of nausea, but she clenched his fists and bit her lip, forcingherself to stay quiet.
