Chapter 421

As expected, the birthday party ended early on a sour note.

Quite a few prominent and influential members of the business world had been invited to attend Violet’s birthday party, and after witnessing the whole incident, they began drawing their own conclusions.

While leaving, Leanna glanced at Violet’s pale-faced father and quietly asked the man beside her, “Do you know what’s going on?”

Aidan smirked. “I don’t, but someone else does.”

“Who?” Leanna quizzed in puzzlement.

Once the couple walked out of the venue, William came up to them. “President Pearson. Miss McKinney.”

Leanna nodded in acknowledgment. “Mr. Morris.”

“Everything that has just happened with the Kramers may very well affect future business cooperation, yet you’re leaving just like that, Mr. Morris?” Aidan piped up coolly.

William chuckled and deflected the question with ease. “Well, it’s a family matter. I won’t be of any help, even if I did stick around.”

“Is that so?”

William didn’t respond to Aidan. Instead, he turned to Leanna. “Do you have anything else planned for tonight, Miss McKinney?”

Leanna was startled as she didn’t know why he posed this question to her. She shook her head. “No, I don’t.”

“In that case, why don’t I treat you and President Pearson to a drink?”

Leanna glanced at Aidan before giving her answer. Aidan raised his eyebrows slightly.

It was a sign that he wanted her to say yes.

“Okay then,” Leanna replied to William.

Although she had only encountered William a couple of times and barely knew him, he and Aidan had collaborated on business in the past, so perhaps there were things they wanted to discuss but couldn’t do so outright, and thus, needed to go through her.

There was an open-air bar on the rooftop of the hotel.

After finding a quiet place to sit, Leanna said, “Please excuse me while I head to the washroom. You guys can go ahead and talk.”

However, as soon as she stood up, Aidan grabbed her hand. “Don’t go just yet. Aren’t you curious to know about what happened tonight?”

Thus, while William placed his order with the waiter, Leanna sat down and murmured to Aidan, “Isn’t there something that you two wanted to discuss with each other?”

“Who told you that he and I had something to talk about?” Aidan replied.

“Then…”

Just then, William asked, “What would you like to drink, Miss McKinney?”
