Chapter 518

Freddie’s last statement not only sounded sweet and flattering but also indicated a level of respect for Gordon. As soon as those words fell from his lips, the Pearson Family would seem guilty of something if they continued to refuse him entry upstairs.

So, Gordon unwillingly withdrew his walking cane and snapped irritably, “Get out as soon as you’ve gotten a look around.”

“Thank you, Mr. Pearson.”

After Freddie said that, he immediately bounded up the stairs like an excitable puppy. He scoured each room, going from the second floor to the tried floor. At the same time, he also had to ensure that nobody was secretly transferring Leanna to one of the rooms he had already searched.

It didn’t take long before there was only one room left. He was about to enter the room when a servant stepped forward and intercepted him. “Mr. Sutton, this is Mrs. Pearson’s room. You are not allowed to enter.”

He smiled. “I don’t need to enter. I only need to take a peek inside. I’m searching for my friend.”

“I’m afraid that’s not possible either.”

He scratched at his eyebrows without saying a word. As a younger family member, it would certainly be disconcerting to hear news about how he had barged into the bedroom of his elder female relative.

It would be fine if Leanna turned out to be inside the room, but if she were not there… Then, the Pearson Family wouldn’t even need to lift a finger to punish him. His father would break his legs as soon as he went home.

Be that as it may, he was confident that Leanna was currently being held in the Pearson Family Estate against her will. And this was the last room remaining. He gritted his teeth before finally deciding to disregard the consequences and take the risk.

He was just about to enter when the door opened. Sienna stood there in a nightgown and stared at him coldly. “What are you trying to do?”

“Mrs. Pearson…”

“How rude can you be? Are you here to search my rooms?”

He smiled bitterly. “I had no other choice.”

She barked, “Well, pardon me for failing to notice the impeccable upbringing of the Sutton Family all this while.”

“Why don’t you just reprimand me directly…”
