Chapter 50 A Shameless Woman Suddenly, the expressions on both Jeanette and Anthony’s face changed subtly at the same time. Furthermore, Anthony was even more frightened that Zoe would find out that he was cheating on her. In a fit of panic, he tried to comprehend the situation in front of him. Logically speaking, Leanna couldn’t have known Jeanette. But if so, how did she know her last name is Boulogne?
Feeling puzzled, Anthony tried to look at Leanna. However, he saw a trace of warning in her gaze when he met her eyes again. Like a greased lightning, he reacted swiftly and said to Jeanette, “Look! They’re calling for you to go over and have fun with them. Sorry, I have to accompany my girlfriend.” Upon hearing that, Jeanette retracted her gaze. “Do you think you’re all that great just because you have a partner?” As soon as she spoke those words, she moved her feet and left. Once Jeanette left, Anthony immediately went to cheer Zoe up. “Baby, don’t be angry. That’s just her nature. She likes joking around with us. But it’s also my fault for not introducing you clearly.” Pulling his hand off her, Zoe said, “Why should I be angry? Alright, that’s enough. Don’t worry about me. Just go and accompany your friends.”
“They can keep themselves company, so why should they deserve my company? You’re my girlfriend, so of course I’ll accompany you.” Then, Anthony whispered something in Zoe’s ear before dragging her outside. After taking a few steps, Zoe turned around and said, “Nana, wait for me for a while. I’ll be right back.” “Okay.” Not long after they left, Jeanette appeared next to Leanna again. Holding two glasses of wine, she said, “I’m really sorry. In order to express my apology, I’ll drink a glass as a forfeit.” However, Leanna said, “I don’t drink.” Feeling embarrassed, Jeanette sheepishly withdrew her hand. “I heard Anthony say that you’re a jewelry designer. In that case, you should be quite awesome.
How about you design a piece of jewelry for me? Then, I’ll help you spread the word to my friends and let them take care of your business.” Upon hearing that, Leanna smiled. “Sure. The privately customized jewelry starts at 200,000. Miss Boulogne, you can pay the deposit now if you want to.” Upon hearing that, Jeanette widened her eyes, and her facial expression took a drastic turn. “200,000?!” Following her shock, she involuntarily condemned Leanna in her heart. She’s not even a renowned jewelry designer!
I thought the most she would charge was 10,000 to 20,000, but she’s actually charging 200,000! Looking at Jeanette’s shocked face, Leanna said in a very friendly tone, “Oh, 200,000 is just the design fee. It doesn’t include the price for the jewelry materials yet.” As Jeanette held the wine glass, there was an obvious change in her attitude. Suddenly, she wasn’t as enthusiastic as earlier, and she said perfunctorily, “In that case… I will think about it.” However, Leanna’s voice came from behind just as she was about to leave.
“Miss Boulogne, your method of sowing discord is really disreputable.” After Leanna finished speaking, she ignored her and left straightaway. When she walked to the door, she happened to stumble upon Anthony, who came back with Zoe. Clearly, Anthony succeeded in coaxing Zoe. When she saw Leanna, she asked, “Nana, where are you going?” “I’m going to the washroom.” “Then I’ll go with you.” Anthony became noticeably nervous as soon as Zoe finished saying that. In a fit of panic, he hurriedly said, “Zoe, didn’t we agree that you’ll let me take you to meet my friends and colleagues? They haven’t met you yet.”
Feeling that something was off, Zoe looked at him. “I’m just accompanying Nana to the washroom. Won’t it be the same if I meet them now and when I meet them after I come back from the washroom?” Currently, Anthony was so on the edge that he couldn’t respond to her question promptly. Looking at Anthony as if he was facing a great enemy, Leanna curled the corners of her lips into a sneer. He wasn’t afraid when he first decided to cheat on her. Yet he’s on tenterhooks now that he finally realizes his cheating action will be exposed. The more Leanna thought about it, the more she despised him. Hence, she decided to ignore him and only looked at Zoe. “Zoe, I’ll just go by myself. Don’t worry. I’ll be back in a while.” “Okay, then.” Even so, Zoe was still worried about her.
Thus, she exhorted, “The bathroom’s floor is a little slippery, so be careful.” “Got it.” After Leanna left, Anthony grabbed Zoe and ranted, “Baby, you care more about her than me.” Thinking Anthony was being unreasonable, Zoe said snappishly, “You’re a grown man! Why should I care so much about you? Not to mention that Nana is pregnant now—” Halfway through her speaking, Zoe stopped abruptly. Nonetheless, Anthony still heard her. Thus, he started asking her one question after another. “She’s pregnant? But isn’t she divorced? Speaking of which, who’s her husband anyway?
They’ve been married for three years, yet I haven’t seen him once.” Pushing him off, Zoe didn’t answer any of his questions. “Alright, that’s enough. Stop asking so many questions. Go ahead with whatever it is that you’re going to do.” After that, she walked off. With a thoughtful expression on his face, Anthony watched Zoe’s silhouette as she walked off. If she’s really married, is she really that ashamed of her marriage? Unless— … Minutes later, Leanna came out of the washroom and washed her hands. Just as she was about to leave, she bumped into an acquaintance. When Anna saw her, she was so enraged that she wished she could go ballistic. “Why are you here?!” “Why can’t I be here? Does your family own this restaurant?” However, Leanna felt regret as soon as those words escaped her lips.
There might be a chance that the Pearson Family really owns this restaurant! Fortunately, Anna didn’t give her a sarcastic smile. Instead, she glared at her angrily. “Did you come here with Zayn?! How can you be such a shameless woman?! I would have been engaged to Zayn long ago if it wasn’t for you!” “What does that have to do with me? Aren’t your parents the ones who have the final say in your family members’ marriage affairs? What do you take me for?” Anna was stunned for a while before realizing that Leanna was taking advantage of her. In an instant, her face flushed with anger. Just as she was about to act against her, she suddenly thought of something. Hence, she stopped and withdrew her hand. “Leanna, this is a warning for you. The person you’ll see next time won’t be me if you don’t know your place and keep pestering Zayn!” Even though Anna was usually impulsive, she was no fool.
During this period, she could clearly see that she wasn’t the only one who wished for this marriage to work out. Besides Anna, her uncle seemed to wish for her to get married to Zayn more than she did. Unfazed by Anna’s warning, Leanna simply replied with a grunt. Never once did she care about who Anna would marry. However, she would really feel it was unfair for Zayn if it turned out to be him. Seeing that she was indifferent, Anna gritted her teeth and uttered, “Just you wait and see, Leanna! First, you unscrupulously got married to Aidan. Now, you’re going to great lengths to seduce Zayn!
People like you will definitely be punished!” Nevertheless, Leanna was still unfazed, and she smiled indifferently. “Tell me—what kind of karma will someone like you receive, then? Anna, you can deny everything that you have done. But I hope you won’t forget the real taste of the ‘karma’ that you talked about.” There was a slight change in Anna’s facial expression when she heard that. However, Leanna had already left before she could counterattack. Meanwhile, Georgina glanced at Leanna’s stomach when she passed by her side. She had her suspicions, but she was unsure if Leanna was truly pregnant.
Leanna had been wearing baggy clothes ever since she was pregnant. However, her pregnant belly wasn’t that visible yet as she was only in her first trimester. Besides, she was originally someone with a slim figure. Therefore, one hardly noticed anything strange about her belly. Regardless, the more she dressed like that, the more she incited people’s suspicions. Walking up to Anna, Georgina asked, “Anna, who did you just chat with?” Upon hearing that, Anna said bitterly, “A shameless woman!” “Enough.
There’s no need to get angry about irrelevant people. Do you still want to go and see Zayn?” Upon hearing that, only then did Anna come back to her senses. That’s right! I’m here to see Zayn! Zayn has been avoiding me recently, and I can’t find him anywhere. Thanks to Georgina, I immediately rushed over after she told me that Zayn is here to discuss business with people today. But I didn’t expect that I’ll meet that b*tch, Leanna!Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
