I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 260
Seeing that the hostility between both of them was increasing to the point where they were about to start a fight, Zoe slipped
away again without even thinking.
Placing down the coffee, Aidan looked at Leanna. "Am I such a person in your heart?"
"Does it matter what I say?"
Even this b*stard himself had mentioned before that he's a bad guy. Why does he make it sound as if I'm accusing him? she
wondered.
"The resort has to be booked one month ahead. How do you think I could predict that he was going to take you with him?" he
asked.
Stunned at his words, she didn't expect that he would give her such an answer.
He cast her a look and explained, "I've told you before that Elijah isn't as simple as you think, and he's telling you this because
he's jealous of me."
Out of reflex, she asked, "Why is he jealous of you?"
"He's jealous that I'm the one you like in your heart."
Speechless for a few seconds, Leanna finally uttered with great difficulty, "Do you think that everyone else has the same
thoughts as you?"
"Then, give me a reasonable explanation why he would lie to you," Aidan said nonchalantly.
All of a sudden, she slipped into silence and couldn't find the words to argue.

"Just know this, Leanna. I'll never do anything to hurt you and all I want is just that one thing. On the other hand, it's different with
Elijah. You have no idea about his background and what he wants," he added.
"That's it. Don't be so mean and make yourself out to be so innocent. You've done no less of stuff like that."
While Aidan was speechless, Leanna sat on the couch with still eyes, thinking, Now that the b*stard has mentioned it, that
reminds me. Daniel is Elijah's friend, so they probably came here because of the same purpose, which is to aim for the Crossley
Family.
At the thought of this, she stole a few looks at Aidan, but the words would always stop at the tip of her tongue.
"It's not too late if you apologize to me now," he said slowly.
"President Pearson."
Hearing that Leanna's tone had suddenly turned serious, Aidan looked at her from the corner of his eyes and raised his brows,
gesturing for her to continue.
She pressed her lips gently together and said, "Does it affect you greatly if Georgina marries your brother?"
"Are you concerned about me?"
"Forget it if you're not telling."
A chuckle escaped his lips before he answered seriously, "Not much, actually, but some things will get a little trickier. Still, you
don't have to worry because it's not a problem for me."
Ignoring part of his answer, she said, "I think there won't be any outcome from this coalition marriage in the end."
At the end of the day, Leanna reckoned that Daniel and Elijah came with a purpose, and since their target was the Crossley
Family, how could they allow Georgina to be engaged to Justin and expand the Crossley Family's influence?

Smirking, Aidan didn't argue.
She gave it a thought before saying, "President Pearson, you should know as well that Daniel doesn't have a simple background,
and he should have the same purpose as you."
"Are you saying that I should cooperate with him?"
"It's just the rational use of allocating effective resources to reach the maximum benefit."
As the saying went, the enemy of my enemy was my friend, and if they had the same target, why shouldn't they work together?
The smirk on Aidan's face widened. "Not bad. You're applying what you learned right away."
Embarrassed by his compliment, she coughed unnaturally. "I've always been one to take the best to make up for the worst."
Then, she added, "Take the best and leave the worst."
A few seconds later, Aidan said, "Whether it was Elijah or Daniel, both of them aren't trustworthy. You should stay away from
them."
"Okay."
Minutes later, Zoe came in with the snacks that Leanna had ordered earlier. "Nana, this... P-President Pearson, have something
to eat first."
Rising to his feet, he said calmly, "I'm busy, so I'm going now."
"Didn't you say that you want to eat some earlier?" Leanna complained.
"Not all of a man's words can be trusted. Take this as a free lesson for you."
After he was gone, Leanna and Zoe stared at the big pile of food, wondering how they could finish it.

None of the two men who aggressively said that they wanted to eat ended up eating anything.
Massaging the spot between her brows, Leanna then gave the snacks to the shopkeepers next door after she had given some to
her own employees.
At the same time, the discussions on the Internet continued to churn. With Georgina backing her up, Carlile merely wanted to
complete this task well so she could get what she was promised, and she went all out to pay ghostwriters and official business
accounts to fill up the page. Not only that, she even reposted the story about Leanna being a sugar baby with her own
embellishments, making the story sound as realistic as it could be.
Just when Leanna's sugar baby scandal was gradually overpowering the forgery case, an employee from Lux Jewelry posted a
tweet.
'You people should have some sense as onlookers. Although I'm not too sure about the forgery case and neither am I going to
comment on it, you guys are simply ridiculous toward the rumor about McK being a sugar baby. If you know who her ex-husband
is, you'll probably want to bite your own tongue off.'
'You don't have to do this and just call this a reverse PR as it is. Furthermore, who knew if the ex-husband she claimed really
existed or not? Nobody would admit that they had been a mistress before.'
'What? Why don't you tell us who her ex-husband is? Will the name scare me out of my wits?'
'That's right. Didn't someone mention before that she was a sugar baby of the Pearson Family? According to your reverse PR
post, are you going to say that her ex-husband is the president of Pearson Group? What a joke! Who are you trying to kid?'
After the last comment, some business accounts made a screenshot and reposted it, implying in their caption that Leanna was
delusional and wanted to be a swan when she was in fact the ugly duckling, which generated another wave of ridicule from the
netizens.
While the topic was at its peak, the official Twitter of Pearson Group commented on the thread posted by a user who was chiding
Leanna the most. 'What's your problem?'

The second this comment was sent, the users who had been the most aggressive started to be collectively abusive again.
'Look how popular Leanna McKinney's name is. Even the Pearson Group has to stand out to clarify the situation.'
'Ha-ha. Leanna McKinney probably never guessed that she would have such an honor in her life. This is an epic case of getting
framed. I wonder how the people at Pearson Group would laugh when they see all these.'
'Well done, admin! Don't leave any way out for shameless people like that. I think it won't take long for Leanna McKinney to be
blacklisted in the industry now that she has offended the Pearson Group. She totally deserves it!'
Just when everyone thought that the official account had made the move to teach Leanna a lesson, the next comments by the
account had everyone falling off their seats in shock.
