Chapter 64 What’s There for Me to Like? Since the manager didn’t know how to answer Aidan, he
hesitated for a long time. Not only that, he was also confused as to why Aidan would take care of this
matter. Didn’t he also ask me the same question last time? He knew Louis needed money, yet he didn’t
say anything that time— When Aidan saw the manager’s reaction, his facial expression was as cold as
ice.
It was at that moment he knew he didn’t have to ask further because his suspicion had been proven
right. “Get out.” “Yes. Yes.” Feeling as if he had taken a trip to hell and barely came back from the
dead, the manager breathed a sigh of relief and fled. Once the door of the private room was closed,
Oscar asked, “Did your brother-in-law sell his admission notice?” With an unreadable expression,
Aidan looked over and sent him death glares. At once, Oscar changed his words and corrected them
rigorously. “Your ex-wife’s younger brother.” Retracting the gaze he laid upon Oscar, Aidan then poured
himself a glass of wine. After that, he said calmly, “It’s none of my business.” Upon hearing that, Oscar
couldn’t help but snort.
Tsk! Like I will believe that! If it’s none of his business, why will he seek Patheon Club’s manager out of
his mere guess? At this moment, Jonathan knocked on the door and came in. “President Pearson, Ma
—Miss McKinney’s father followed us here. He kept shouting that he wanted to see you, saying that the
creditor limits him to repay the money within three days.” Without even bothering to look up, Aidan
yelled with an indifferent tone, “Make him leave!” “Yes.” With that, Jonathan left. Once again, the door
of the private room was closed. Aidan clenched his knuckled fingers into a fist, and his handsome facial
features seemed to have been covered with a thin layer of frost, making people unable to comprehend
his emotions. “Don’t tell me you still think I like her, do you?”

As Oscar thought he had heard it wrong, he was stunned. “What?” “Three years ago, she gave up the
opportunity to go to Aeras for money. Three years later, her brother gave up the admission letter for
money. Tell me: what’s there for me to like in mercenary people like them?” “But—they had their
reasons, right?” Upon hearing that, Aidan sneered, “Regardless of the reason, it still can’t change the
fact that they have given up on their own future. Still, they expect us to take pity on them?” … At home,
Leanna hung up the phone, and Zoe came over with snacks. With her face full of envy, she said,
“That’s great. I also want to have a younger brother who is a provincial champion. At least I can still rely
on my younger brother in the future if I can’t depend on men. So what did Louis say to you on the
phone?”
Leanna smiled. “He said that he’ll start his college life tomorrow, and then he’ll have military training for
half a month. So he asks me to take care of myself.” “Oh, that’s right. I totally forgot that young men of
Louis’ age are required to undergo military training according to Highside’s governmental law. Man, that
will be a total nightmare.” Zoe thought for a while. “If not, let’s see Louis off at the college tomorrow. We
can take a good look at his college. Plus, we can also check if there are any handsome men in his
dormitory.” Upon hearing that, Leanna looked at Zoe, feeling speechless at her last sentence.
She stayed silent for a while before saying, “Forget it. Louis doesn’t want us to go.” Lying on her bed,
Zoe added, “Yeah, you’re right. Just like you, his personality can be really stubborn sometimes. Let’s
visit some other times when we have the chance.” After a while, Leanna asked softly, “Did Anthony
look for you recently?” “I blocked his contact information a long time ago. My guess will be he’s now
having a good time with that b*tch, Jeanette, right now. I wish for them to keep lovey-dovey with each
other, always keep each other company, and not be able to die a natural death.” Shocked at Zoe’s last
part of the speech, Leanna was silent for a while. After that, she said, “If—Anthony’s mother invites you
to attend her birthday banquet, will you go?” Upon hearing that, Zoe sneered, “Of course, I’ll go!
Not only that, I’m going to tell his mother what kind of a lowlife she had been raising in front of his
relatives and friends. Then, I’ll print the things the two did on a flyer and give out a copy to each and
every relative and friend present.” Once again, Leanna was speechless at the words that escaped
Zoe’s lips. Letting out a sigh, she thought to herself, Forget it. Here I thought I could at least get some
meaningful advice from Zoe. Well, her words possess no reference value for me at all. Besides,
Sienna’s attitude is very oppressive this time. I don’t think I can just ditch the invitation even if I want to.
Sigh. I guess that’s just how things function in their family, habitually criticizing others from a subjective
perspective and habitually forcing others to do things they don’t like to do at the same time. Perhaps
the world of the rich is plain unreasonable and self-centered.
The next afternoon, Leanna was drawing her design when she received an unfamiliar number. “Miss
McKinney, I’m here to pick you up to attend her birthday party on the order of Madam. Do you want to
go downstairs by yourself, or do I go upstairs to fetch you?” Pursing her lips, Leanna said, “I’ll come
down by myself. Wait a moment.” “Yes, Miss McKinney.” After hanging up the phone, she looked at the
untouched envelope on the table. Taking a deep breath, she then got up and left. Downstairs, the
middle-aged man glanced at Leanna from top to bottom. “Miss McKinney, are you just going to wear
this to the party?” At the moment, Leanna wore loose clothes and put on some light makeup out of
courtesy. Upon hearing the man’s question, she said, “I’m just going to go and wish Mrs. Pearson a
happy birthday. I’ll leave as soon as I return this thing to her. ” With that, the middle-aged man nodded
slightly and opened the car door for her without further words.
Sienna’s birthday party was held in the Pearson Family Estate. The atmosphere in the estate was
different from the deserted atmosphere in the past. On that day, there were a lot of luxury cars parked
on the estate. With the arrival of various guests, the place instantly became boisterous. When they
arrived, Leanna got out of the car. Looking at the place that was incompatible with her, she lowered her
eyes and looked down. She turned around, only to find that the middle-aged man who drove her here
had disappeared. Left alone, she could only meet Sienna when she passed through this courtyard
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhere the honorable guests gathered. At this point, Leanna already understood the real meaning
behind Sienna’s invitation. Is this her purpose for inviting me over to her party? So in her perspective,
she believes that I’ll only stop getting my hands on the things that don’t belong to me after I witness the
social gap between me and them? Did she honestly forget that I was once married to Aidan? Not only
that, she strongly believes that my conscience will be awakened with every step I take into the house
today. But little does she know, I have always been rational, and there’s nothing going on between
Zayn and me.
What she does humiliates me! Thinking of that, Leanna clenched her hands into fists and walked in
step by step. The guests around were all dressed up. Seeing her dressed like this, many people looked
at her and discussed the topic in a low voice. Some of these people recognized her as Aidan’s wife,
while some didn’t know who she was. After walking through the courtyard, Leanna stopped and stood
by the door, pursing her lips slightly. At this moment, a gentle male voice suddenly came from behind
her. “Leanna.” Upon hearing the voice, Leanna turned her head. “Mr. Pearson.” Smiling lightly, Justin
approached her in his wheelchair. “Did you come here with Aidan?” Leanna shook her head. “I’m here
to find Mrs. Pearson.” Upon hearing that, Justin felt a little surprised. Out of the blue, Leanna took out
the envelope from her bag. “Thank goodness I stumbled upon you here. Can you please pass this on
to Mrs. Pearson for me? I’m not going in.” “Uh—” Justin didn’t reach out to take the envelope. Instead,
he simply asked, “Did my mother ever look for you? Was it because of Anna?”
“Yes, Zayn and I are just friends and nothing else. It’s really unnecessary for Mrs. Pearson to treat me
like this.” Looking around, Justin gradually said, “You rarely come here, so why the rush? Stay a while
longer, and push me to the back for a walk.” Seeing that he had made such requests, Leanna had no
choice but to put the envelope into her bag again. Then, she pushed Justin to the back garden. The
farther they made their way toward the garden, the fewer people there were. Suddenly, Justin said, “I’m
guessing you must be feeling very curious as to why my mother didn’t oppose the marriage when you
married Aidan last time, yet she keeps making your life difficult because of the marriage affairs
between Anna and Zayn.”
