Chapter 326

The words had only just left Mr. Jackson’s mouth when Leanna came down the stairs.

She smiled and called out. “Mr. Jackson.”

Mr. Jackson beckoned toward her. “Come, come. Have a seat.”

She walked over and sat down beside him.

He held the head of his walking cane with both hands as he spoke jovially, “Where did you arrive? I wanted to go and pick you up, but I was worried that I might cause trouble for you instead.”

“I just arrived not long ago.”

“That’s good.” While he spoke, his gaze landed on her clothes. Then, he asked puzzledly, “Why are you covered in so much dust?”

When Lloyd heard those words, he froze in the middle of picking up his teacup.

She replied, “It’s nothing. It’s just a prank Miss Crossley played on me earlier. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to change my clothes.”

Mr. Jackson scowled fiercely and glared at Lloyd. “What kind of prank?”

Lloyd laughed. “Gina was a little immature. I’ve already reprimanded her for her actions.”

Naturally, Mr. Jackson noticed that Lloyd was reluctant to speak the truth, so he turned to glare at the servant standing behind Lloyd and instructed sharply, “You! Tell me!”

“Uh… That is…” The servant hesitated for a long time and did not dare to speak.
