Chapter 130 Have to Leave
After leaving Harvey’s office, Leanna was dragged into the pantry by Zoe.
“I heard about what happened last night,” said Zoe. “Mr. Mancini said he would look into it, but what
could he find? There is no such thing as a coincidence here. This is definitely Queenie’s doing. I’ll let
her do whatever she wants with my corpse if it wasn’t her doing.”
“Don’t be so upset,” Leanna said, smiling. “Even if we know she did it, we have no proof. We would be
placed in a tough position if she bites back then.”
“Are we just going to let it go?”
“Of course not.”
The reason why Leanna was so certain Queenie was the culprit was because she once saw Queenie
throwing Georgina’s special necklace in the trash while telling Georgina it was lost.
There was no way Queenie would have overlooked such details. If Zayn had not appeared last night,
Leanna’s reputation would have been shredded. For her sake, Lux Jewelry was currently inundated
with lies and would be too busy to investigate this matter. In fact, they might even distance themselves
from her due to the rumors.
Hence, even if Leanna knew Queenie was the problem, no one would believe her. They might even
think she was trying to spread lies about other people just so she could protect herself.
As for her, she had no concrete proof or evidence of her claims, other than the fact that she saw
Queenie throw the necklace into the trash.
Leanna had to admit, though, that Queenie might have made a risky move, but its success would have
saved her.

again.
After Zoe cursed Queenie out to her heart’s content, she said, “Still, I am curious as to who is helping
her. Who could be so talented as to do all this and stay hidden?”
Leanna shook her head in response.
“Why don’t we ask Zayn for permission to look through the security recordings?” Zoe suggested. “If we
could find the accomplice, we would have proof.”
“Forget it. Let us leave it be and see what happens.”
She had already troubled Zayn too much by now.
Realizing what Leanna thought about her suggestion, Zoe sighed before changing the topic. “Dearest,
your mission is to protect your mother in the future,” she said slowly, with a sigh. “You must not let her
be pushed around by meanies, especially your rotten dad!”
“How long before the birth?” she asked Leanna.
“14 weeks.” After Zoe took a few moments to convert the number to months, her eyes lit up. “That
means you only have a little over three months left!” Leanna nodded. The day was slowly getting
nearer, but her unease grew stronger and stronger. “I want to leave this place, Zoe.” “Leave?” Zoe
dazedly looked at her. “Where do you want to go?” “I don’t know.” Leanna looked out of the window.
“Something keeps telling me that if I stay here, my child might not be born. I am constantly worried;
what if the Pearsons find out about the baby?” Zoe frowned. “No matter what, Aidan is the father. Does
he really not care about you two?” “I am the one who wanted the child. The baby does not matter to
him, and he does not care.” “What a cruel man. Is he not afraid of karma?” Leanna turned back to Zoe
and resolutely said, “That is why I must leave. I must go somewhere where I can never be found by
Aidan and the Pearsons.” It was now her chance. She had to be ready so that nothing could go wrong.

At Pearson Family Estate, Sienna was enjoying her afternoon tea when Anna approached her. “Aunt.”
“What is it?” she asked, shooting Anna a glance and putting down her cup. “You must have heard
about what happened last night,” Anna replied, biting her lip.
There was a faint scornful smirk on Sienna’s face. Everyone in Highside knew what happened last
night, and Gordon was furious when he heard about it.
“I do, so just come out with it.”
Anna was about to reply when she warily glanced at the servants around them.
“Leave us,” ordered Sienna.
After a murmur of acknowledgement, the servants left.
“I want Leanna to vanish forever,” Anna said in a whisper. “What should I do?” “Do you want her child
to disappear or both of them?” “Both!” Anna spat out. “Anna, it would be suspicious if she died out of
the blue,” Sienna said with a chuckle. “You…” “That is why I am here. I believe you will have a plan. If
Aidan had not been protecting her this whole time, I would have done the deed by now.” “Are you not
afraid he would go after you once he knows the truth?”
At that, panic filled Anna’s eyes as she wondered about Sienna’s true intentions. She knew Sienna did
not like Leanna either. That was why she approached Sienna.
“How about this, Anna?” Sienna continued. “I can help you, but with one condition.”
“What… is it?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You will be telling my husband about Leanna’s pregnancy.”
“No way.” Anna was visibly terrified. “Aidan said that if I ever told anyone about it, he would never
forgive me.”
“Well, if you are that afraid of him, I cannot help you,” Sienna calmly stated.
“But…”
“Anna, no one will know you said anything as long as you deny it. No matter how brash Aidan is, he will
not do anything to you when we are watching him.”
After a moment of hesitation, Anna said, “But if Uncle Gordon finds out, he will want Leanna’s child to
be born. Won’t we be helping her then?”
“Gordon wants the child, but Aidan does not. What do you think will eventually happen?”
Before Anna could reply, Sienna continued, “You might not even have to do anything before Leanna
and her child disappear from this world.”
Fear filled Anna’s gaze once more. “Would he really do that?”
“He can do anything as long as it ensures he is in control at all times.” Sienna scoffed.
Hearing that, Anna went quiet as she bit her lip. Deep down, her mind was racing. Since Aidan allowed
Leanna’s child to live on, that meant it was highly likely to be his. If he still insisted on getting rid of the
kid, she…
She did not dare risk her life.
No matter what happened, Anna did not think Gordon should hear about this matter from her, yet he
needed to know.
After a while, she had a great candidate in mind.
She returned to her room and called Carly.
