Chapter 458

After they reached downstairs, Leanna said, “I’ll go by myself from here. My car’s parked by the roadside.”

Elijah smiled. “Alright. I’ll sound Daniel out about Zoe, but the words you said to provoke him just now will probably work.”

Leanna’s lips curled into a smile. “Hopefully. Still, I hope Zoe will find someone nice to her as long as she lives.”

Elijah replied, “She will.”

“Well, then, I gotta go. Bye.”

“Goodbye.”

Elijah kept watching her from behind until she was out of his sight. After that, he withdrew his gaze, turned around, and went upstairs.

Meanwhile, Leanna drove back to Jethro’s former old house after leaving Constellation Tech. Opening the door with the key, she said softly toward the balcony, where the curtains were swaying in the wind, “It’s me.”

It wasn’t until a few seconds later that Ron climbed onto the balcony from the outside.

Leanna said, “Don’t worry. Nobody would come here at the moment other than me, so you can stay here with peace of mind.”

Ron replied, “Thank you.”

Leanna took out the various medicines that she’d bought on her way here. “Your wound was still bleeding the last time I saw it. Just treat it properly. You don’t have to thank me for this, though. To put it bluntly, we’re just getting what we want from each other.”
