You’re Still Engaged
Back at the hotel, Aidan contacted someone from Jamesdon.
It was already late at night in Jamesdon, even though it was just late afternoon in Lachstein.
Through the video, Leanna saw the little guy lying on the crib, sound asleep and completely
undisturbed by the chaos reigning outside.
Naomi and Waylen were also nearby.
They were at Naomi’s mother’s old house. It had been 50 to 60 years since her mother married Kian,
and the house was practically deserted.
With Kian’s death, no one else in the Woodley Family knew about this place.
Aidan discovered this house when he was investigating Naomi’s past in Jamesdon. Therefore, he
decided to send them all there.
Ever since the incident with the Woodleys, all fingers were pointed toward Lachlan as the prime
suspect.
Waylen sensed the crisis immediately. Just as he was about to evacuate the entire laboratory, he met
Aidan’s men, and they were brought here immediately.
Naomi was picked up from the Woodley Family Estate and arrived almost at the same time as the rest
of the entourage.
When the news of the deaths of several Woodley elders started spreading, and things started to take a
turn for the worse, the laboratory and Naomi’s place were immediately cleared out.
Once Leanna saw that they were all safe and sound, she felt a wave of relief crashing into her like a
tidal wave. It was already late at night, so she hung up without taking more of their time.
“Do you feel better now?” Aidan asked.
Leanna turned to look at him. “Did you expect that something like this might happen? If we had been a
moment later…”
“Jamesdon is not a peaceful place at all. Anything will happen at a moment’s notice. It doesn’t matter
whether Lachlan is there. A similar thing has happened once, so I’m making sure that it will never
happen again,” he answered flatly.
She lowered her head, and a small smile crept onto her face.
Aidan was indeed more far-sighted and thoughtful than she thought he was.
After a while, she said, “What about Lachlan? How is he doing now? I’m sure the Woodleys wouldn’t
take things lightly, especially when such a big thing has happened.”
“Don’t worry. He’s fine.”
Leanna was silent for a while before saying, “Are we going back to Highside tomorrow night?”
Aidan hummed in agreement.
“Then, what about Daniel? If Leroy really has Daniel in his clutches, it means that he…”
It bodes ill for that poor man.
However, Aidan grabbed her hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry. If Leroy chooses to take Daniel
away, it means he has a use for Daniel. Daniel will be his bargaining chip. So, until Leroy gets what he
wants, he will not kill Daniel.”
She pursed her lips slightly. “Even so, Daniel is still in a perilous situation. I… don’t know how to inform
Zoe about this.”
“No one expected or wanted this, so you shouldn’t be blaming yourself. If she asks you, just tell her the
truth. If she doesn’t, you don’t have to tell her.”
Leanna lowered her head and did not answer.
Aidan ruffled her hair softly, saying, “Don’t overthink things. You’ve been in Lachstein for over half a
month and spent almost every day at the hospital. Why not go for a walk around town these two days?”
…
The next day, Zoe and Charlotte arrived at the studio as per usual.
Louis was about to leave after he dropped them off when Zoe stopped him. “Louis, where are you
going?”
“I need to film a shoot. Today’s the last episode, and we still need to take some promotional photos.”
Zoe nodded. “All right. Make sure to keep us in the loop. Be careful when you’re alone.”
“I will. Keaton will be outside. You can call him if you need anything.”
After Louis left, Charlotte changed into her work attire and clocked in for the day.
On the other hand, Zoe went to Leanna’s office and stared out the window in a daze.
It had been more than a month since she had heard from Daniel.
Initially, she wasn’t too bothered about it. She assumed that he was busy, so she didn’t want to disturb
him.
But after the nerves and fright she experienced last night, the uneasiness bloomed into a bouquet of
poison flowers in her heart. Suffice it to say, she was starting to lose her cool.
Eventually, she took out her phone and dialed Elijah’s number after staring into space for a long time.
Once the call was connected, she tentatively asked, “Elijah, are you busy?”
She was met with silence before Elijah spoke, “No. What’s up?”
“Oh, no. It’s nothing important. I just want to ask if Daniel has contacted you recently. I…I have
something to tell him, but I couldn’t get to him.”
She was met with silence again.
This caused her grip on the phone to tighten, and her breathing became shallow. “D-Did something
happen to him?”
Elijah only spoke up after being questioned, “No. The company in Lachstein has been a little busy
lately, so he couldn’t get away. I barely had the chance to talk to him recently.”
Zoe breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his words. She was glad that nothing had happened to
Daniel.
“Zoe, Daniel may be away for business for a while. If you need anything, don’t be afraid to call me.”
Zoe smiled when she heard this. “Thank you, Elijah. All I do is go back and forth between the studio
and my house. There’s nothing that I’d need your help with. However, I won’t shy away if there comes a
day when I do.”
Finally, she hung up the phone and released a long sigh after chatting for a while longer.
Although Elijah had told her that Daniel was just occupied with work, she still felt uneasy for some
reason.
She couldn’t help but place her hand on her lower abdomen; the little guy inside her was already three
to four months old. As the day passed, she could clearly feel her child growing inside her belly.
Zoe was starting to feel a little depressed after loitering about the studio doing absolutely nothing.
Fortunately, new pictures from the shoot last night were uploaded so she could filter them before
handing them over to the post-production staff.
Just as she was pacing around in the studio, a figure appeared at the door.
Joseph hurriedly walked over to Charlotte. “Charlotte, are you okay?”
Charlotte was taken aback by this and instinctively answered, “I’m fine… What’s wrong, Uncle
Joseph?”
Joseph took off his glasses and rubbed between his eyebrows. “I heard that something happened to
the Woodley Family and that someone is scheming against you. I was worried you…whatever it is, I’m
glad that you’re safe.”
Now, she was even more confused. “Why would someone plot against me?”
When he heard her question, he looked around and noted that there were a lot of people in the studio.
Thus, he pulled her into the lounge nearby and whispered, “Did you forget that you and Lachlan are
engaged?”
As soon as these words came out, Charlotte was floored.
That was right. How could she forget that?
“Now that the Woodleys can’t find Lachlan, they’ll naturally assume that he had a hand in killing the
elders in the family. And since you are his fiancée, they will inevitably try to take their anger out on
you,” he continued solemnly.
When she heard this, her whole face flushed crimson. “B-But…
“I know that you’ve never wanted this engagement to come to pass. But ever since a few Woodley
elders have been murdered, it has caused the whole family to be in a state of turmoil. Unfortunately,
some people might want to further muddy these troubled waters. You are their biggest target right now.”
