Freddie’s last statement not only sounded sweet and flattering but also indicated a level of respect for
Gordon. As soon as those words fell from his lips, the Pearson Family would seem guilty of something
if they continued to refuse him entry upstairs.
So, Gordon unwillingly withdrew his walking cane and snapped irritably, “Get out as soon as you’ve
gotten a look around.”
“Thank you, Mr. Pearson.”
After Freddie said that, he immediately bounded up the stairs like an excitable puppy. He scoured each
room, going from the second floor to the tried floor. At the same time, he also had to ensure that
nobody was secretly transferring Leanna to one of the rooms he had already searched.
It didn’t take long before there was only one room left. He was about to enter the room when a servant
stepped forward and intercepted him. “Mr. Sutton, this is Mrs. Pearson’s room. You are not allowed to
enter.”
He smiled. “I don’t need to enter. I only need to take a peek inside. I’m searching for my friend.”
“I’m afraid that’s not possible either.”
He scratched at his eyebrows without saying a word. As a younger family member, it would certainly be
disconcerting to hear news about how he had barged into the bedroom of his elder female relative.
It would be fine if Leanna turned out to be inside the room, but if she were not there… Then, the
Pearson Family wouldn’t even need to lift a finger to punish him. His father would break his legs as
soon as he went home.
Be that as it may, he was confident that Leanna was currently being held in the Pearson Family Estate
against her will. And this was the last room remaining. He gritted his teeth before finally deciding to
disregard the consequences and take the risk.
He was just about to enter when the door opened. Sienna stood there in a nightgown and stared at him
coldly. “What are you trying to do?”
“Mrs. Pearson…”
“How rude can you be? Are you here to search my rooms?”
He smiled bitterly. “I had no other choice.”
She barked, “Well, pardon me for failing to notice the impeccable upbringing of the Sutton Family all
this while.”
“Why don’t you just reprimand me directly…”
“I don’t have the time to reprimand you.” She crossed her arms in front of her chest. “But, since you’re
here, I’m sure you won’t give up unless I let you have a look inside.”
She even stepped to the side as she spoke, all the while giving him the stink eye.
He was about to enter the room when her voice leisurely rang out once more. “Don’t tell me you
actually want to enter my room for an inspection? If she were here, wouldn’t she hear you if you called
out her name?”
He parted his lips slightly. “You’re right. I’m being rude.” Then, he raised his voice. “In that case, I won’t
disturb you again. I’ll be taking my leave now, but I’ll come back in two days to apologize for my rude
behavior.”
After he said that, he deliberately dawdled outside the room for a few seconds and paid attention to any
movements coming from inside the room. Meanwhile, she stared at him coldly without saying anything.
She seemed to be waiting to see just how long he was planning to loiter. Finally, he withdrew his gaze
and met her eyes squarely. Then, he smiled apologetically as he knew he could not dawdle any longer
and took his leave.
Sienna glanced at the servant outside the instant Freddie disappeared around the corner. The servant
immediately understood and went inside with her.
Leanna sat on the couch inside the room, and Justin sat opposite her.
Ten minutes ago, Justin reappeared inside the room as soon as she threw the glass ornament out of
the window. Throughout the entire process, he had only said one sentence to her. “Leanna, please trust
me just this once. I will never hurt you.”
That was why she had remained silent when Freddie came looking for her earlier.
She was well aware that Freddie could not rescue her with his strength alone. Besides, she was
curious to know the reason why they had gone to such lengths to bring her here. To that end, they even
managed to convince Justin to play along with their entire farce.
She had understood Freddie’s words just now. They were going to come back for her. But, for the time
being, she was safe as long as she remained here.
Sienna walked in and glanced at Leanna with a derisive snort. “So, you do know your place.”
Justin murmured, “It’s getting late. Why don’t you get some rest? I will bring Leanna back to her room.”
“Just ask a servant to do it. Why are you tormenting yourself?”
“I simply want to do whatever I can, lest I become a cripple who is incapable of doing anything.”
When Sienna heard the steel in his tone, she turned to the side without another word.
Leanna had recovered most of her strength by now, so she staggered as she followed Justin out of the
room.
When they arrived at the second floor, he opened the door to a room and warmly told her. “This is
Aidan’s room. You can stay here for the time being.”
Then, he maneuvered his wheelchair into the room and turned on the lights.
“Although he has not returned in a long time, the room has been cleaned every single day.”
Leanna replied, “I’ve already done as you said. Can you tell me what you’re trying to achieve?”
Justin turned around to look at her and sighed as a pained grimace appeared on his face. “Why don’t
you take a seat first?”
…
Freddie received a phone call from Oscar as soon as Freddie stepped out of the Pearson Family
Estate.
Oscar said, “Leanna hasn’t returned. She should still be inside the Pearson Family Estate.”
“I know.”
“You can’t have left, right?”
“What else could I have done? I’ve already searched every single room in the Pearson Family Estate. If
my father learns about what I’ve done today, he will probably disown me on the spot.”
Oscar didn’t know what to say to that response.
Freddie asked, “What about Aidan? Have you gotten in touch with him?”
“No. But the information I just received indicates that he will be renegotiating the terms with the other
party tonight. I don’t know how the discussion has gone so far. Moreover, there’s a time difference
which makes it difficult to contact him. Therefore, I’m afraid the news we receive will be far slower than
real-time.”
Freddie frowned in frustration. “It looks like we’ve been tricked.”
“What?”
“On the surface, the Pearson Family is using Justin’s injury to reveal his existence to the world.
However, that is nothing more than a piece of bait.” His black eyes narrowed. “It’s bait they deliberately
fed to us.”
Oscar went silent as he considered this fact. “This entire farce will never succeed without the
cooperation of one person.”
“Justin Pearson.”
“Yes.”
Freddie tapped his fingers against the steering wheel. “Judging by the attitude of the entire Pearson
Family, they no longer care about their pride and reputation. Instead, they simply want their deception
to be accepted as the truth.”
“But I don’t understand. Why would Justin help them?”
He sighed. “Leanna probably had the same questions as you, so she chose to remain behind today.”
He had deliberately made a ruckus at the door earlier so Leanna could hear him. If she wanted to
leave, she could have done anything to make some noise. Yet, she did not. Not to mention, he had not
seen Justin anywhere, even though he had searched every single room in the house earlier. So, that
could only mean that Justin was also in the room at the time.
Oscar said, “Let’s talk again once we’ve managed to contact Aidan. Since they orchestrated the
incident at Lachstein and even kidnapped Leanna, they definitely want something from him.”
“In any case, we will have results tonight.”
Oscar made a sound of agreement. “You should head back. I’ll send somebody to watch the Pearson
Family Estate. We will have other ways to break her out of there as long as Leanna remains in the
Pearson Family Estate.”
“But we can’t just sit around waiting without doing anything either.”
“What do you want to do?”
Freddie suggested, “We should spread the news that Leanna went missing after attending the Pearson
Family’s reception tonight. That way, other people aside from us will also be approaching the Pearson
Family for an explanation. They will be enough to keep the Pearson Family busy for some time.”
