Chapter 253

Slowly, Leanna twirled around with an emotionless face. “Is anything the matter, Miss Crossley?”

Georgina first took a glance at Aidan before turning to her. “Don’t you find it a pity to leave just like this when you rarely have the chance to attend such a party?”

Before she could open her mouth, Aidan said in a stoic voice, “Why would it be a pity?”

Smirking, Georgina answered, “Nothing much, but I just feel that it seems a little unreasonable that Miss McKinney is leaving early when she was personally invited by Mr. Jackson. Anyone with a little manners and know some etiquette wouldn’t leave before the party is over.”

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Mr. Jackson cleared his throat. “You’re making it sound too serious, Miss Crossley. It’s just a birthday, not a life-and-death situation.”

“You’re a generous man for not taking it to heart with Miss McKinney, but some things are just brought out because it’s coming from the bones. Don’t you think so, Aidan?”

Not only did she mock Leanna with these words, but she was also dragging Aidan into the quarrel.

A few seconds later, Leanna said with a smile, “You’re right, Miss Crossley. Some things are really brought out naturally. A person can’t change their birth, but the arrogance and rudeness hidden in the bones would surface from under the skin one fine day no matter how hard they tried to hide it.”

After she said that, Georgina’s face turned into a hideous scowl.

Mr. Jackson said slowly in agreement, “You have a point, Miss McKinney. No matter how a person tries to hide it, what’s hidden in the bones would be revealed in a matter of time.”
