Chapter 30 You’ve Got The Wrong Person The support of Pearson Group meant that she could better
expand her horizons and ideas, yet Lux Jewelry was a freshly established brand. As she was also the
designer of ‘First Love’, there was no way that the company was about to let her go. Besides, this
contract was one where they were obviously out to squeeze all they could from her current reputation
and inspiration.
Thus, the moment she could not produce any more designs, the company would proceed on finding the
next famous designer while McK would be casted away. Even though Harvey argued with his boss for
quite a long while, it was his superior who said McK agreed to this herself. Naturally, businessmen
valued profits more than anything, so there was no space for negotiations. Seeing his hesitation, Aidan
thought about Leanna’s ability to repay her debt now. As his expression darkened, he spoke in a cold
tone, “How much did she want?” Although Harvey did not want to disclose such private information, the
situation did not permit him to hide this fact any further.
Finally, he said, “McK only asked to pay her two million first. As for the others—” “Mr. Mancini. Mr.
Mancini!” A personnel came running toward them and stated in between breaths, “This is not good.
McK has been hospitalized!” Frowning, Harvey wanted to leave when he remembered that Aidan was
still here. Yet, before he could greet him, Aidan was already heading for the exit. Jonathan, who
followed Aidan, quickly turned back and whispered to Harvey, “Mr. Mancini, everything that the
president did was not for Miss Clark. He did this all for… Anyway, I hope I can clear this matter up to
you the next time you’re free.” … After an initial checkup at the hospital, the doctor confirmed that she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthad been poisoned, so he instructed the nurse, “Prepare for gastric lavage.” At that moment, the
unconscious Leanna grabbed onto the doctor’s arm and mumbled, “No…
Don’t do that… I’m…” Not hearing her clearly, the doctor was about to close in before Zayn pursed his
lips and stated, “She’s pregnant.” The doctor immediately changed his mind. “Do a blood test.” After
ten minutes, the report was out. Fortunately, she was only mildly poisoned, so the gastric lavage
procedure could be held off. However, the toxins had to be purged through vomiting, otherwise it might
harm the baby in her womb. Between the lines of consciousness, Leanna heard the doctor and hardly
sat up. Since she had already vomited her breakfast, all that was left in her stomach was water. Yet,
she forced herself to puke no matter how hard it was. Zayn was right by her side as he gently patted
her back with a face of uneasiness. When Aidan rushed to the hospital, this was the intimate scene that
he witnessed. Standing on the spot, he was completely emotionless yet immense bloodlust seeped
around him, which made Jonathan take a step back.
Oh no, someone’s going to die today. In the end, Leanna could not differentiate whether it was tears
flowing from her face or sweat. There were moments where she thought she would be better off dead.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally could not withstand it anymore and fainted. Yet, just as
Aidan closed in, Zayn discovered his presence and frowned without bothering to disguise his enmity
whatsoever. “What are you doing here, President Pearson?” “Do I have to answer that?” Blocking his
way, Zayn replied, “I hope you haven’t forgotten that you and Leanna have already divorced, President
Pearson.”
His words were like a stake that drove deep into Aidan’s heart as he coldly glanced at the unconscious
Leanna before looking at Zayn and smirked. “So, this is why.” I can’t believe that I absurdly believed
Leanna only wanted a divorce because she was jealous and throwing a temper tantrum. No wonder
she did not want a single penny and was in such a hurry to get rid of me. It turns out that she is seeing
Zayn. Not knowing what he was thinking of, Zayn only knew that if not for Aidan, Leanna would not be
going through such sufferings right now. With that, he chased Aidan away. “Leanna needs rest right
now. If there’s nothing else, I would like you to leave, President Pearson.” To this, Aidan only glanced at
him coldly before leaving. In his black Rolls-Royce, Aidan’s lips were pursed before he asked, “When
did Leanna meet Zayn?” Fearful of not answering him, Jonathan replied, “Mr. Barnett attended the
same university as Madam. He was also her first love.
At that time, everybody said that they were a pair made in heaven—” Up to this point, Aidan interrupted
him and said, “Did I ask?” Clearing his throat, Jonathan continued, “Madam only entered The Emerging
Designer Competition due to Mr. Barnett’s suggestion three years ago. At that time, the Barnetts had
scheduled to have him study in Aeras and Madam could have gone there too with our company’s
sponsorship… if not for the unfortunate events that happened. So, I think that they might have agreed
upon…” “Are you saying that I came between them?” Jonathan did not dare to answer this. I think that
half of it falls onto her father and the other half… you. If the president had approved of Madam’s
request back then, she might have even gone there after clearing the debt and lived a sweet, happy life
with Zayn. When the car was about to arrive at Castor Villa, Aidan suddenly instructed, “Go back to the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhospital.” Three years ago, it was Leanna who came to him first. Today, you want me to wish these two
happiness? Impossible! After Mia had gone off stage at the runway, she could not find Aidan anywhere.
However, she had received the information she longed for.
Leanna is hospitalized. Since she had done this in secret and the resting room was one where a lot of
people came and went, even if Leanna were to suspect her, she would not have any evidence to back
that claim up. However, in the midst of her own thoughts, she heard the personnels discussing, “Mr.
Mancini said earlier that Mia isn’t the person whom Pearson Group was nurturing and told us to stop
our discussion.” “What? Are you serious? But I heard Mia’s people saying that she has vastly
advertised the alleged surprise later tonight at the show; she even has her speech for the prize
acceptance ready.” “Do you think that Mr. Mancini would lie about this? Also, I think that Mia’s
performance was mediocre tonight. If it was up to me, I would choose McK. Even though she only
walked once, everybody agreed that she was absolutely stunning and had an aura comparable to a
professional model. I haven’t even mentioned Daphne, who overshadowed Mia in every way possible.”
“That’s what I think too. Perhaps Pearson Group only withdrew their support for Mia after witnessing
this scene for themselves.” After hearing these remarks, Mia almost gritted her teeth into dust. This is
all Leanna’s fault. This is happening all because of that shameless b*tch!!! I should have increased the
dosage and poisoned her to death! … In the ward, Leanna was lying silently while steadily breathing on
the bed with an IV drip.
“Thank you for today. If it wasn’t for you, things would have gotten a lot worse…” Zoe told Zayn. “You
don’t have to be this courteous. This is what I should’ve done.” He only went to the fashion show to find
Leanna yet he had a revelation. After a brief moment of silence, he asked, “Has Leanna been staying
with you?”
