Chapter 194

Daphne knew what he was going to say, so she quickly beat him to it. “Don’t you think it’s a little…”

Aidan retorted in a deep and cold voice, “A little what? Forget it. You should attend the dinner event tomorrow.”

“Oh, no. That won’t do! It’s a deal!”

Aidan put away his phone and threw it to Jonathan, ordering, “Schedule for someone else to attend the dinner party.”

“Sure.”

After a pause, Aidan asked again, “Do I have any plans for tomorrow night?”

“There was…” Jonathan immediately changed his tune. “But there’s none now.”

Aidan hummed and continued walking.

In the car, Jonathan asked him again, “President Pearson, I have one more thing to tell you.”

“What?”

“Miss Mckinney is quite close to a foreigner named Daniel recently.”

“Leanna’s neighbor?” inquired Aidan.

Jonathan nodded. “Yes.”

“Have you done a background check on him?”

“He is of Chiojan and Warkin descent, is an orphan, and works as a cellist. He is quite reputable internationally, and he was on a national tour a few months ago. Highside was his last stop.”

“How did he and Georgina know each other?” inquired Aidan.

“On Miss Crossley’s birthday party last week, he was invited to perform,” Jonathan continued, “After that, the two met in private several times. It seems like…”

“Okay.” Aidan interrupted him, “I don’t care about them. Just keep an eye on her so she doesn’t look for Leanna.”

“OK.”

On Thanksgiving, snow started falling in the morning, causing the temperature to plummet.

Leanna and Zoe went out early in the morning to buy barbecue ingredients. As soon as they came home, they saw Louis waiting for them.

Opening the door, Leanna exclaimed, “Didn’t I tell you to come over in the afternoon? Why are you here so early?”
