Chapter 310

Daniel walked to Zoe and held the umbrella above her head. "Where are you going? The airport or the

railway station? I'll give you a ride."

Zoe forced a smile. "Thanks, but no, thanks. I've booked a ride. It'll be here soon."

"But the rain is getting heavier."

"Uh... I think it's okay. Thanks for the offer, but my car will be here soon."

Zoe raised her phone, intending to show him that she had booked the ride, but when she looked at her

screen, she found that the driver had canceled the ride.

D*mn it! What an unlucky day! Zoe cursed in her mind.

Daniel's lips twitched in amusement at the sight. Then, he stepped forward to take her luggage. "Come

on."

"No, thanks, I can—" Zoe wanted to refuse him.

"Didn't you say that neighbors should help each other?"

No! That was a pretense she came up with because she wanted to flirt with him, but she didn't expect

that he had more excuses than she did, and his reasons were outrageous.

As the rain was indeed getting heavier by the second, but she really didn't want to have anything to do

with him. At the end of the day, she reminded herself of the plane ticket she had already paid and

nodded reluctantly.

Daniel handed her the umbrella, swiftly stuffed her luggage in the back seat, and got into the car.

Zoe held the umbrella in her hand as she gritted her teeth and forced herself to get in.

"Which airport?" Daniel asked.

After Zoe told him the address, she feigned courtesy by saying, "Will it be too much trouble? I don't

want to get in your way."

"It's okay. Don't mention it." Daniel tapped the steering wheel gently and drove the car steadily.

When Zoe heard that he didn't mind, she sat quietly and looked at the road.

After a while, he asked, "Can I ask you something?"

"Yes." She adjusted her posture and tried to focus on the conversation beside the screaming in her

head that made it known that she really didn't want to be there.

The sound of the wipers echoed across the cabin as Daniel slowly enunciated, "I heard that Miss

McKinney's father passed away. Is it true?"

"Yup, it is true, but he managed to cheat death."

"Cheat death? What do you mean?"

"He's the typical crook who crawls out of his grave after his death to do all sorts of malicious things."

Daniel pursed his lips and commented, "He's not her real father, right?"

His remark intrigued Zoe, so she turned to look at him curiously. "How did you know?"

The only people in the world who knew about this matter were Leanna, Louis, herself, and the b*stard

Aidan. After all, it was a private matter, so no one would tell Daniel about this.

Daniel smiled. "I attended yesterday's bidding session."

Zoe regained her composure and replied, "Oh, that's right. I almost forgot you were trying to ask

Georgina out."

Daniel choked on his saliva and coughed when he heard this, but he didn't know how to explain

himself.

After a pause, he asked, "Where did you find that pocket watch? How did you know that it was related

to Lloyd?"

"I think Nana and Louis found it when they packed up Jethro's stuff after his death. Louis even

published missing-person ads in the newspaper, but they didn't get any news. As for how they found

out that it was related to Lloyd..."

At this point, Zoe suddenly looked at him warily. "Wait, why do you want to know about this? Don't tell

me that you want to tell Georgina about this?!"

"No, no." Daniel smiled. "I'm just asking because I'm curious."

Zoe didn't buy his words at all. A person like him who lied about his religion in order to get out of a meal

wasn't trustworthy in her eyes. Honestly, was it so hard just to say no?

Daniel continued, "So... Is Louis her biological brother or half-brother?"

Zoe didn't know why he wanted to know this, nor why it was related to Louis. She closed her eyes and

ended the conversation then and there, "I don't know. You should ask Nana about this if she wanted to

tell you, that is."

Daniel pursed his lips and stopped digging for information.

There was traffic congestion due to the rain and it took almost an hour to get to the airport.

Daniel took the luggage out of the car and gently placed it on the floor. Zoe said her thanks and was

about to leave when he called out to her.

He took the umbrella from the car and handed it to her. "It's the rainy season now. Take this."

Zoe slowly took the umbrella and fixed her glance at Daniel, who donned an awkward expression.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I suddenly thought of something. Thanks. Bye."

With that, she walked toward the airport swiftly.

She once told Leanna that she wanted to date a two-timer playboy, but she never thought that the joke

would come true one day.

Hold on. It wasn't entirely true. The remark was only half-fulfilled.

She did fall in love with an *sshole, but she didn't cheat on him as revenge.

Zoe suddenly felt amused at the thought of this.

Daniel was courting Georgina, yet here he was, giving her a ride to the airport and giving her an

umbrella. So, what did he take her for? A backup plan?

Zoe stared at the umbrella in her hand as she stood at the boarding gate. Then, she threw it into the

trash scornfully.

Go to hell, j*rk!

...

When Leanna saw that it was raining cats and dogs, she called Zoe, but she heard the notification that

her phone was switched off—Zoe must be on the plane right now.

Leanna stretched lazily as her body ached all over.

She was about to stand up and move her muscles for a bit when there was a knock on the door. It was

her employee. "Miss McKinney, we're going out to dinner together tonight. Would you like to join us?"

"Sure!" Leanna nodded with a smile.

The young girl stood at the door with a slight blush. It seemed as if she wanted to say something else

but was too embarrassed to say it.

"Anything else?" Leanna asked.

"Uh... Can you please ask your brother to join us? We don't have his number."

Leanna was initially taken aback by the question, and then she grinned. "Sure! I'll ask him later, but I'm

not sure if he's free tonight or if he has to go to work."

"It doesn't matter. Please ask him. It would be great if he could come, but it doesn't matter if he was

busy..."

"Okay."

After the employee left, Leanna took her phone and called Louis, but it took him a long while to answer

the call.

When she heard the commotion coming from the other end of the line, she asked, "Louis, aren't you

supposed to be in school right now?"

"No. Something came up. I'm outside now."

"Where are you? Are you free to join me for dinner later?"

"Nope. I'm meeting my friends."

"Alright then. When you are free on the weekends, come home. I have something to tell you."

"Got it."

After she ended the call, she raised her brow at her phone. Finally, she made up her mind and called

Aidan.

When the call was connected, the background where Aidan was was so quiet that it was as silent as

the grave. It was totally different from the call with Louis.

Leanna hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "Are you busy?"

"Not really. What's up?"

"Nothing. I'm joining my colleagues in the studio for dinner later, so I won't have dinner with you."

"Can't I join you?"

Leanna chuckled because she didn't expect to hear him whining about this. She explained, "Why do

you want to join us? They are just a bunch of young girls."

She paused for a bit before continuing, "By the way, what are you doing now?"

His voice was deep and soft when he said, "I'm in a meeting."

What the heck?! Leanna cursed in her mind as she held herself back from yelping in shock.
