Love's Change of Heart

'Look at the bottom of the screenshot. What did she write about?' He was evidently

impatient.

It was not until then did she notice that the funny content was just right above Leanna's

Tweet. Although Leanna's name was in the screenshot, the written content was not

included.

Surprised, Daphne asked her assistant as to when Aidan was added to that group chat,

only to be informed that he had always been there since the incident that had happened

two years ago. It was just that he never texted in the group.

Realizing that the one who rejected her request three years ago was the same person who

put her down every single day for forcing a marriage with him just for money made

Leanna's heart ache.

Silence struck upon her. Does that mean this evil sponsor has been watching me talk sh*t

about him this whole time?

Feeling the cold sheen behind her back, Daphne checked Leanna's post again before

reconfirming with Aidan. 'President Pearson, are you sure you wanna know?'

'Take a screenshot for me.' He was rather cool about it.

Soon, the insinuating statement was displayed on Aidan's phone. In order to let Leanna's

post stand out in the picture, Daphne cropped out the irrelevant information such as the

'Jonathan liked this Tweet' banner as well as her own reply below.

She personally thought that the 'XXX' was a commendable move by Leanna. It was

inflaming yet solemn due to the firm and reserved way of expression. Even if the accused

person saw it, he would not be able to find anything wrong from it unless he himself

admitted that he was the so-called spiteful b*stard.

Receiving zero responses from Aidan, Daphne thought that he would not reply anymore.

Yet, the moment she placed her phone aside to sleep, her phone buzzed again.

'Screenshot everything that she tweets and send them to me from now on.'

Daphne was speechless by the sudden mission.

'You can have a one-week break.'

'I'm not the kind of person who would betray my friend for such a short break!'

'Two weeks.'

'Okay, boss. Thank you, boss.'

Then, she apologized to Leanna for betraying her under her boss' coercion. She was

obliged to screenshot every update on Leanna's Twitter account to Aidan from today

onward.

Leanna, the victim, was at a loss for words. How can he be so shameless!

Therefore, she wrote for two days straight in her Twitter Circle, consisting of only Daphne,

with insulting content directed at Aidan, allowing her to relay the messages so that he

could digest things on his own.

Just the mere thought of his expression after reading the content made Leanna feel

refreshed as though she had successfully taken her revenge.

Right when her mood had reached its full swing, she received a call from Lux Jewelry. The

boss' secretary stated that there was a problem with the contract and hence the need for

her to stop by the company.

Noel Whitlock, who was the boss of Lux Jewelry, poured Leanna a cup of tea with a smile.

"Leanna, Harvey told me that you've been hospitalized a while ago. How are you feeling

right now?"

She smiled in return. "I've fully recovered. Thank you for your concern, President

Whitlock."

"I'm glad to hear that. I've heard so much about your performance on the showcase. If it

wasn't for you, the sweat and tears poured in to make ready for it might've gone down the

drain. You're truly our savior."

Silence struck upon her. Does that mean this evil sponsor has been watching me talk sh*t

about him this whole time?

"You're flattering me, President Whitlock. I just did what I could."

"You're flattering me, President Whitlock. I just did what I could."

They were running out of time back then. Besides, all she did was walk the runway once

and Daphne did the rest.

As the straightforward person he was, Noel opened a kraft paper envelope before

proffering a document in front of her. "This is the contract that we both had signed earlier,

but let's terminate it. I think it'll be better to just have the one you've signed with us from

the beginning."

Leanna was surprised. "But I…"

She had not expected the company to end the contract just because she helped to walk

the runway once, much less when she had already received two hundred thousand.

Needless to say, the termination fee was a large sum of money.

Noticing her doubts, he explained, "I know what you're thinking. Actually, the original plan

was to repay you with other means, not like this. But… now that I've received the

termination fee, I can't just let it be, can I?"

Confusion crossed her features. "You've received the fee?"

"Yeah, it's been a week." Noel took a sip of coffee before exclaiming, "I was enjoying my

holiday in Cazkavia when President Pearson came to visit me out of the blue to pay the

termination fee. Given how you've helped the showcase, I figured that it's alright to

receive the money."

Silence engulfed her as she did not know how to respond to that.

Leanna had basically sold herself to Lux Jewelry by signing that contract in order to get

two hundred thousand to clear her debt with Aidan. Yet, he returned the money back to

Noel in addition to the termination fee, which was worth almost a million of dollars.

Her head hurt at the thought of this plot-twist.

As soon as she stepped out of Noel's office, Harvey approached her to inform that Pearson

Group had selected their winning candidate. Considering that she was free from any

constraint, she had the choice to contact Pearson Group and get any resources that she

needed.

Leanna pursed her lips into a thin line without uttering a word as her intuition said that

Aidan was merely making fun of her.

Does he hate me this much? It's been so long since we've divorced, but he's still not done

with his revenge yet. It's turning brutal as time passes.

Back then, there was no way out and she did not wish for her baby to suffer with her…

That was the only reason why she decided to discard her pride and seek help from him.
