Chapter 67 We Won’t Be in Touch Anymore Georgina asked thoughtfully, “Doesn’t Aidan hate her?”
“Yes, but I don’t know what’s happened recently. Aidan warned me not to provoke her again.” After
picking up the wine glass, Georgina said casually, “Perhaps it’s because she’s pregnant.” When she
heard that, Anna suddenly widened her eyes in shock. “What?! She—” Georgina added softly, “I saw
her going for a maternity check in the hospital before. My instincts say that she’s pregnant, but I can’t
prove it.
I’ve tested my theory several times, and I can conclude that there’s at least an eighty percent chance
that she’s pregnant. However, don’t announce anything yet, Anna. I know she and Aidan have
divorced, so it’s still unclear as to who the child might belong to.” Although Georgina euphemistically
said those words, she had successfully conveyed a hidden meaning. In an instant, hatred rose on
Anna’s face. That shameless woman has been pestering Zayn recently, and she suddenly showed up
again today! She must be planning to threaten us using the child in her stomach! I bet she’ll force Zayn
to marry her in front of everyone! No! I shall never let this happen!” Enraged with her thoughts, Anna
turned around and went to find Leanna. Meanwhile, Georgina stared at her silhouette and slowly drank
the wine from the glass. Meanwhile, Leanna was still waiting to receive news from Zoe. As time
passed, her panic and unease gradually grew stronger. At this moment, someone shouted to her, “Hey,
you there!
Come over and clean up this place.” At that, Leanna looked over. When she saw the wine stains on the
floor, she thought, Someone’s child must’ve accidentally knocked over the wine glass while playing,
and the red wine stains are all over the floor now. The person noticed that she hadn’t moved, so they
said again, “What are you doing? Don’t you know how important all the guests are today? Are you
going to take responsibility if anyone slips?” “Leanna.” Suddenly, Zayn’s voice came from the side.

When the person who was behaving arrogant earlier saw Zayn, their attitude changed drastically. Then,
the person stepped forward to greet him, saying, “Mr. Barnett, I have long heard about you. I’m—” Zayn
side-eyed him, and the gentleness between his eyebrows had long since disappeared. After walking up
to Leanna, he then dragged her out of the front hall. When they got to the pool, Zayn said, “Why are
you here, Leanna?”
Leanna replied, “I have some matters to attend to.” She contemplated if she should ask him the next
question, and she paused for a while. Eventually, she asked, “Are you preparing to get engaged to
Anna?” Zayn laughed upon hearing that. “Was Aidan the one who told you?” As he spoke, he looked at
his surroundings. He stayed silent for a long time before saying, “For me, it doesn’t matter who I end up
with if I don’t marry the person I like.” At that moment, Leanna didn’t know what to say to comfort him.
“Zayn—” If Zayn gets engaged to someone else, I will sincerely congratulate him as a friend. However,
I know Anna’s character all too well. No matter what, I still hope Zayn considers his decision. Sensing
Leanna’s silence, Zayn quickly said, “Leanna, you don’t have to blame yourself. Last night, I learned
that Anna isn’t actually the one who wants to get engaged to me. Instead, the Barnett Family is in dire
need of this alliance marriage.” All of a sudden, Leanna became speechless as the realization hit her.
That’s right, how can feelings come first in business cooperations that easily cost hundreds of millions?
The rich and powerful just look bright and beautiful on the surface, but they’re actually vicious and
greedy on the inside. “Leanna, I hope you’ll find someone you like who’s equally devoted to you in the
future.” Weren’t we like this before? We keep missing the chance to be together repeatedly. Lately,
Zayn had been thinking about him and Leanna. If there was no such thing as breaking the Aeras
agreement; if I had been less calm and rational; and if I confessed what was in my heart earlier, we
might not have ended up like this. After a long time, Leanna smiled faintly. “There should never be such
a person anymore.” Zayn was silent for a while before he said, “You and Aidan—” “There‘s no
possibility between me and him.
There are just some debts that have not been settled yet. After the settlement is clear, we will be
completely indebted to each other, and we won’t be in touch anymore.” “That’s good. The Pearson
Family is far more complicated than I imagine. Plus, he’s not a good person either.” Since Zayn still had
a lot of things to deal with tonight, he didn’t stay around for too long. Leanna didn’t want to go back to
the place that was suffocating her, so she stood by the pool and enjoyed the breeze. As she stared at
the sparkling swimming pool in a trance, she was completely unaware that the person she had just
mentioned was standing not far away, looking at her with a cool and quiet look. His stern facial features
were shrouded in the night, showing the slightest emotion.
As he looked at Leanna while she stood by the pool, Aidan fell into deep thought as he had overheard
her conversation with Zayn. She sure has some daring thoughts. Does she think that she’ll be debt-free
once she pays everything off? After staring at Leanna for a really long time, Aidan retracted his gaze
coldly. Then, he turned around and strode away with his pair of long legs. At the same time, Leanna
received a call from Zoe. Zoe had gone to Louis’ college, but the administration department told her
that no one by the name Louis McKinney had reported to school today. Since Zoe knew the truth, she
didn’t believe the administration department and went around asking other people. Louis was the
provincial champion and had the highest score among the college freshmen, so it was not difficult to
ask around. Things unexpectedly became suspicious when Zoe found the college’s high score list. She
discovered that the first-place candidate scored the same marks as Louis, but it wasn’t his name.

The person in charge of the college rushed over after getting wind of this. When he heard that Zoe was
looking for Louis, he kept his mouth shut. The only thing he told her was that there was no such person
in the college. After that, he asked the security guard to escort her out. Leanna closed her eyes while
holding her phone. At this juncture, she already had a rough idea of what was going on. Meanwhile,
Zoe still hadn’t figured out the situation on the other end of the phone. “Nana, what’s going on? I can’t
reach Louis, and it seems like the people I’ve talked to at the college aren’t that credible. In fact, I’m
thinking if I’ve really made a mistake.” “I’ll explain it to you when I come back.” Leanna pursed her lips
and continued, “Head over to the convenience store where Louis previously worked and see if he’s still
there.”
“Sure, I’ll head over right now.” After hanging up the phone, Leanna suddenly felt a little powerless.
Never once did she think that Louis would actually sell his college admission letter. Does he truly know
what that admission letter means to him?! At this moment, Leanna suddenly heard footsteps coming
from behind her. For some reason, the wind around her was inexplicably chilling for a few minutes. In
an instant, her heart tightened, and her blood ran cold. Just as she was about to turn back, she felt
someone hit her hard. Due to the movement of the wind, waves were formed in the swimming pool.
With a thud, Leanna fell into the pool. At once, she felt water gushing into her ears and nose from all
directions, making her hard to breathe and see. Out of reflex, she wanted to struggle. However, she
couldn’t grab hold of anything except water. As her body gradually sank, Leanna slowly lost all her
strength. For some unknown reason, she suddenly wanted to give up when she looked at the endless
darkness in front of her. At times, I feel that it’s quite tiring to be alive. … As soon as Aidan arrived
outside the front hall, he heard a servant behind him shout, “Someone is drowning!”
After hearing that, he paused slightly and stopped in his tracks. When he turned around, he realized
that the person standing by the pool had disappeared. At that very moment, the feeling of fear
shrouded him, and Aidan’s pupils shrank abruptly. Very quickly, he turned back and walked toward the
swimming pool. By the time he came to the pool, the water had begun to calm down. He jumped
directly into the water with zero hesitation. Amid the chaos, Leanna felt that someone was hugging her
and keeping her alive by giving her air to breathe.
