I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 172
My Standing Is a Hundred Times Better On the way back in her car, beside herself with anger, Anna called her mother and said
in annoyance, “Mom, I want you to tell Dad to stop collaborating with that Constellation Tech! They’re in cahoots with that skank!”
Taken aback, Anna’s mother replied, “Anna, what are you talking about?” Anna looked extremely irked. “Aren’t we collaborating
with that sh*t of a company? We should tell them off! Get them away from us, as far as possible!” On the other end of the line,
Anna’s father took over the call. “Anna, what did you just say? Which company are you talking about?”
“Constellation Tech. That rubbish of a man is clinging onto us since he knows that he can’t climb the ladder himself. I must teach
that rubbish a lesson.” Anna sneered. Anna’s father frowned as he knew his daughter’s temper. With a thump of his heart, he
asked, “Anna, what did you do? Who did you meet from Constellation Tech?” “Eli... something? I don’t know myself. I just know
that rubbish isn’t worth it for me to remember his name.” His frown grew deeper. “Elijah Parker?” An unperturbed Anna replied,
“Sounds like him. He looks like a decent man, but unfortunately, his eyes are just decorations since he chose to defend that
skank.” At that, Anna’s father choked on his breath. “Anna Pearson! What have you done?!
Quickly apologize to President Parker! We might still be able to salvage our deal!” Anna immediately raised her voice. “What
for?! Why should I apologize to that nobody?! Why do you have to care about some business deal? Dropping that company
won’t have any effect on us, but he would be filled with regret when he loses the Pearson Group as his backer.” Anna’s father
shouted in anger, “The Pearson Group is a different matter! What does it have to do with you?!” “I...” Just as she wanted to
retort, Anna’s expression changed, as she remembered that the illegitimate child was in charge of Pearson Group now. After a
brief pause, she continued, “What about it? He’s just an illegitimate child. Uncle Gordon will have him replaced, sooner or later.”
“Do you think that the Pearson Group will be yours when Aidan steps down? Anna, get this into your head: you’re only part of the
Pearsons because of how sorry they felt toward Sienna.
In other words, your standing in the Pearson Family amounts to nothing. In fact, you’re in an even worse position than that
illegitimate child!” “You’re lying! Not only am I a member of the Pearsons, I’m also the precious daughter of the Pearsons! My
standing is a hundred times better than that b*stard child!” “Anna, you’re going to follow me tomorrow to apologize to President
Parker.” “Never! Go by yourself if you care so much!” After Anna ended the call with her teeth clenched and her eyes full of
hatred, she threw her phone down the car interior and shouted, “You’re all the same kind of trash! The same kind of trash!” ... In
a certain restaurant. When the dishes were served, Zoe took a glance at her watch and cleared her throat before she said
politely, “I need to take a phone call. You guys go ahead. Don’t wait for me.” Leanna looked at Zoe with hints of suspicion in her
eyes. Immediately raising the phone in her hand, Zoe showed Leanna the caller’s number on her phone screen. “I really need to
take this.” As Leanna couldn’t say anything to that, Zoe left the two and went outside. After she left, Elijah grinned and turned his

attention toward Leanna. “Looks like the two of you are always busy with work.” With a faint smile, Leanna replied, “I wouldn’t
say so.
It’s because there’s only me and Zoe right now. It’ll be better after we hire two additional hands.” It did not take long for Elijah to
steer the conversation into a different topic with his interesting and polite mannerisms. With the awkwardness between them
gradually disappearing after Zoe had left them alone, they enjoyed their conversation. Just then, Oscar and his friends came out
of the private room and noticed a familiar figure by the window. Curious, he stopped in his tracks with his eyebrows raised before
he took his phone out and took a photo from a distance. Aidan might be in a pinch now. With how stubborn he is, he won’t get
the girl even if he took several lifespans, he thought. After he took the photo, he kept his phone and left the restaurant satisfied.
After dawdling outside for around twenty minutes, Zoe returned to her table to find Elijah and Leanna conversing well with one
another. Upon such a sight, Zoe immediately felt that it was worth it for her to have withstood the cold winds outside. I’m the
greatest contributor if those two actually get together, she thought. After the meal, Elijah offered to send them home, but Leanna
rejected him.
“I’ve already caused you a great deal of trouble today. Since our apartment is just around the corner, we can just walk back
home.” Silently nodding, Elijah pondered briefly before he said, “My friend is having a live music session this weekend. Do the
two of you have some free time this week? If you do...” Without waiting for Leanna’s answer, Zoe immediately said, “Yes, we do!
We’re so free this weekend! It just so happens that we were thinking about where to go this weekend, right, Nana? It’ll be
relaxing and soothing to just chill and listen to music. Besides, how can we not show our support by attending Elijah’s friend’s
music live?”
Leanna remained silent. Looking at the situation, Elijah smiled. “Then, it’s a date. I’ll pick you two up this weekend.” “Alright,
sounds good. See you this weekend,” Zoe replied. After watching him leave, Leanna let out a sigh before she turned her
attention toward Zoe. Zoe immediately took two steps back and took the initiative here. “Hey, hey. Since we’ve already promised
Elijah, you can’t back out from it now.” Leanna said bluntly, “I did not promise anything.” “All the same. Since Elijah had already
said he’d be picking us up this weekend, are you really heartless enough to disappoint a man like that?” Seeing that she said
nothing to retort, Zoe hugged and shook her arm, acting like a spoiled child. “Please, Nana, can’t we go? I really want to go.
Right now, all I can think about is that live music session. If I can’t go, I’m afraid I will lose sleep for days.” A helpless Leanna
replied after a brief moment of silence, “Fine, fine. I’ll go.”
At that, Zoe’s eyes lit up. However, before she could revel in the joy, Leanna continued, “But, I’m saying this now, you are not
allowed to find an excuse to leave me alone with Elijah. I know you’re trying to set me up with him, but—” Zoe nodded repeatedly
and interrupted her mid-sentence. “Of course, don’t worry. I won’t do that anymore. But, Nana, haven’t you thought about it?

Elijah really is a good catch. If he likes you, why not give him a chance?” Leanna laughed. “That’s just too much of a stretch. You
said it yourself, Elijah is young and talented. I’m sure there are lots of women out there going after him. He wouldn’t go for
someone like me.” With a frown, Zoe replied, “You shouldn’t look down on yourself like that. It’s not like you’re worse than the
others. Plus, that b*stard’s already beside himself with regret with the divorce.” Silently, Leanna thought, Just how did she come
to such a horrible conclusion?
