Chapter 379

Freddie feigned guilt as he said guilelessly, “Did I accidentally say something wrong again? Mr. Crossley, as you know, I’ve been away from Highside for a long time. So, I am ignorant about many things. I hope you won’t take offense at my words.”

Lloyd dispassionately replied, “It’s nothing. It’s all in the past.”

Freddie glanced at the time. “I still have other things to do later, so I’ll take my leave now. See you next time.”

After he said that, he nodded to both of them and departed with a smile on his face.

He felt his entire body relaxing as soon as he stepped out of the Crossley Group.

The moment he got into his car, he dialed Aidan’s number. “I’ve done everything you asked me to do. When will you be treating me to lunch?”

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

“There’s something wrong with you if you’re not interested in eating.”

Aidan said, “Eat by yourself and send me the bill. I’ll reimburse you.”

After he finished speaking, he curtly ended the call.

Freddie stared at his phone speechlessly. The sayings ‘burning the bridge after crossing the river’ and ‘killing the donkey as soon as the work is done’ must refer to people like him who toss people aside once they cease to be useful.

On the other side, the results of the competition were out.

The final champion was Queenie. Although she was the most popular contestant this year and had many supporters backing her, there was an uproar among the audience when the organizers announced that she was the champion of the competition.

Leanna’s loss was not a big deal, but it would be a blatant slap to Aidan’s face.

Everybody carefully turned their attention to Leanna and Aidan. To their surprise, the expressions of those two remained the same as usual. In fact, the two of them seemed utterly unaffected. It was as though they were not surprised by this result.

On the other hand, many reporters gathered around Queenie for an interview after she was announced as the champion of the competition.

Leanna observed the situation. “What comes next doesn’t have anything to do with us anymore. Let’s go.”

Aidan raised his eyebrows, leaned toward her, and whispered something in her ear.
