Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 406

When Leanna arrived at the hospital, she stopped a nurse and asked where Elliot was. After thanking her, she shuffled in that direction.

When Leanna arrived at the hospital, she stopped a nurse and asked where Elliot was. After thanking her, she shuffled in that direction.

Meanwhile, the police were talking to Elliot in the ward. Seeing that, Leanna decided to wait outside the room. Only after the police left the place 20 minutes later did she knock on the door. Elliot said impatiently, “I’ve told you everything. What else—”

He caught himself when he saw Leanna appearing at the door. The impatience on his face vanished as he squinted his eyes and asked cautiously, “Why are you here?”

Leanna replied, “I’m here to ask you something.”

“It’s about the designers’ competition, right?” Elliot questioned. “Everything I’ve said is true. I’d helped her cheat in the competition, and she’d bribed the judges.”

Leanna smiled and sat down on the couch. “There’s one thing I don’t understand, though. Given Queenie’s background, making you help her cheat in the competition was already the best she could do. How did she bribe the judges?”

Faced with her doubt, Elliot was unflustered as he had already prepared an excuse. “You’re also aware that her mentor is Robert, who is on good terms with the judges. Moreover, he was determined to let Queenie win so as not to embarrass him. It wasn’t hard for him to bribe the judges for her sake.”

“Just like what you’ve said, Robert was determined to help Queenie win. Then, why would he tell you that he’d bribed the judges?”

Her question surprised Elliot, but he soon came up with an excuse. “I overheard it. There are no secrets in the world that could be kept forever, are there?”

Leanna continued, “Are you also going to tell me that Queenie has decided to kill you because she’s found out that you’re aware of the bribery?”

Elliot still hadn’t found a good excuse for that. Hearing her words, he played along by saying, “Right, right, right. That’s exactly the reason. That woman has gone mad for wanting to become famous, so she did something so despicable. You should’ve been the winner. I feel sorry for you.”

Leanna arched her brow as she had no idea how much truth there was in his words.

A moment later, she decided to cut to the chase, asking, “Do you remember what the attacker looked like?”

The police had asked Elliot the same question earlier. He narrowed his eyes and questioned doubtfully, “Why do you want to know?”
