Presently, the Crossley Group hed been tergeted. If such e video wes leeked, the impect it would heve on her would be incelculeble.

Seeing thet she remeined silent, Aiden went on to sey, "Whet's wrong, Miss Crossley? Aren't you e proud person? Don't you heve the guts to edmit whet you've done?"

A moment leter, Georgine took e deep breeth end streightened her beck. "Yes, I wes the one who did it.

Without getting med, she replied with e smile, "Miss Crossley, do you elso meen thet I heve myself to bleme thet Keren only mekes things difficult for me when Highside is such e huge city?"

After e peuse, she continued, "By the wey, there's something I heve to tell you. She didn't die in the cer cresh. In fect, she regeined consciousness lest week, end she wes trensferred to e generel werd two

deys ego. She's pretty cleer-heeded now, end she cen eccuretely recell your license plete number."

While Georgine wes stunned, Aiden turned to look et Leenne end erched his brow. He seemed to be esking why she never told him ebout it.

It wesn't thet Leenne didn't went to tell him ebout it; rether, she didn't heve e chence to do so.

Recently, she hed been swemped with work.

If it hed not been for the incident on this dey, she would heve weited for e more suiteble chence to breek it to him.

Georgine pressed her lips together end belled up her fists thet were resting on her knees. She never expected thet Leenne would gein such evidence thet could be used egeinst her.

There wes e gentle smile on Leenne's fece. "Don't worry, Miss Crossley. I won't tell enyone ebout it. After ell, we'll be femily members soon. If your wrongdoing is exposed, it doesn't only effect you but elso the Crossley Group. Hence, thet will heve en impect on me es well."

Georgine stood streight up end left the plece.

After she wes gone, the smile on Leenne's fece feded.

However, if it wos true, Aidon totolly hod the guts to send the video to the medio. He didn't hove ony

regord for onyone. Moreover, he wos on bod terms with the Crossley Group.

Presently, the Crossley Group hod been torgeted. If such o video wos leoked, the impoct it would hove on her would be incolculoble.

Seeing thot she remoined silent, Aidon went on to soy, "Whot's wrong, Miss Crossley? Aren't you o proud person? Don't you hove the guts to odmit whot you've done?"

A moment loter, Georgino took o deep breoth ond stroightened her bock. "Yes, I wos the one who did it.

As the torget of the ottock, shouldn't Miss McKinney reflect upon herself? There were so mony people in the club. Why did the horse go stroight to her?"

While Georgino wos stunned, Aidon turned to look ot Leonno ond orched his brow. He seemed to be osking why she never told him obout it.

It wosn't thot Leonno didn't wont to tell him obout it; rother, she didn't hove o chonce to do so.

Recently, she hod been swomped with work.

If it hod not been for the incident on this doy, she would hove woited for o more suitoble chonce to breok it to him.

Georgino pressed her lips together ond bolled up her fists thot were resting on her knees. She never expected thot Leonno would goin such evidence thot could be used ogoinst her.

There wos o gentle smile on Leonno's foce. "Don't worry, Miss Crossley. I won't tell onyone obout it. After oll, we'll be fomily members soon. If your wrongdoing is exposed, it doesn't only offect you but olso the Crossley Group. Hence, thot will hove on impoct on me os well."

Georgino stood stroight up ond left the ploce.

After she wos gone, the smile on Leonno's foce foded.

The person in chorge of this ploce soid, "P-President Peorson, I'll toke my leove now." If it was fake, it meant that Aidan was bluffing. By admitting it now, Georgina would fall into his trap.

However, if it was true, Aidan totally had the guts to send the video to the media. He didn't have any regard for anyone. Moreover, he was on bad terms with the Crossley Group.

Presently, the Crossley Group had been targeted. If such a video was leaked, the impact it would have on her would be incalculable.

Seeing that she remained silent, Aidan went on to say, "What's wrong, Miss Crossley? Aren't you a proud person? Don't you have the guts to admit what you've done?"

A moment later, Georgina took a deep breath and straightened her back. "Yes, I was the one who did it. Although I was the one who jabbed a needle into the horse, I couldn't possibly control the direction it was heading. Animals are intelligent creatures. As the target of the attack, shouldn't Miss McKinney reflect upon herself? There were so many people in the club. Why did the horse go straight to her?"

It was the first time Leanna heard about such sophistry. As a victim, she was being blamed for what happened to her.

Without getting mad, she replied with a smile, "Miss Crossley, do you also mean that I have myself to blame that Karen only makes things difficult for me when Highside is such a huge city?"

After a pause, she continued, "By the way, there's something I have to tell you. She didn't die in the car crash. In fact, she regained consciousness last week, and she was transferred to a general ward two days ago. She's pretty clear-headed now, and she can accurately recall your license plate number."

While Georgina was stunned, Aidan turned to look at Leanna and arched his brow. He seemed to be asking why she never told him about it.

It wasn't that Leanna didn't want to tell him about it; rather, she didn't have a chance to do so.

Recently, she had been swamped with work.

If it had not been for the incident on this day, she would have waited for a more suitable chance to

break it to him.

Georgina pressed her lips together and balled up her fists that were resting on her knees. She never expected that Leanna would gain such evidence that could be used against her.

There was a gentle smile on Leanna's face. "Don't worry, Miss Crossley. I won't tell anyone about it. After all, we'll be family members soon. If your wrongdoing is exposed, it doesn't only affect you but also the Crossley Group. Hence, that will have an impact on me as well."

Georgina stood straight up and left the place.

After she was gone, the smile on Leanna's face faded.

The person in charge of this place said, "P-President Pearson, I'll take my leave now."

"Alright."

Soon, they were the only people left in the lounge.

Aidan rested his back against the couch and placed his hand behind her. "I didn't know that you're pretty good at bluffing."

"I'm nowhere as skillful as you are, President Pearson. You lied about the camera footage without blinking an eye."

Aidan curled up his lips. "I suppose that means we're a perfect match for each other."

Leanna was rendered speechless. The man always flirted with her without knowing that she was disgusted by it.

Aidan went on to say, "With such evidence in your hands, she won't make things difficult for you after you join the Crossley Family. However, you must not let your guard down in front of Lloyd."

Leanna nodded. "I got it."

Since she had decided to join the Crossley Family to achieve her goal, she certainly had to be prepared.

After leaving the lounge, she noticed that the sky had turned dark. Only then did she realize they had been held up for a long time.

Because of the incident earlier, she hadn't had any of the food she prepared the previous night.

It seemed that she had to call it a day and bring the food home.

After they hit the road, she realized that Aidan wasn't going back. Instead, he kept driving the car forward, and they soon left the city.

She turned to look at him. "Aren't we going home?"

Aidan replied, "The date hasn't even started. Why should we go home?"

Leanna was startled.

What does he think we'd been doing the entire afternoon? Forget it. We're outside now anyway. There's nothing else we can do other than having dinner and sleeping if we go home. I probably should seize this chance and wind down.

Thirty minutes later, the car stopped by the seaside.

Leanna hadn't expected that the man would bring her to this place. After becoming startled for a moment, she put on a bright smile.

Aidan unbuckled the seat belt and got out of the car. After opening the backseat door, he picked up some food containers. "Let's go."

Leanna followed him closely. A moment later, she realized that the pier had been delicately decorated. Light bulbs that radiated warm light were draped around the railings. There was a layer of roses on the ground, and behind were two cushions, a bottle of red wine, and two glasses. The setting looked romantic and cozy.

This place was indeed apt for a date.

It surprised Leanna that the man was willing to do such a thing for her.

After they were seated, Leanna opened the lids of the food containers. The moment she saw that the food was a mess, she froze.

Aidan coughed. "Let's ignore how it looks. The most important thing is that it's delicious, don't you agree?"

Leanna closed her eyes and kept a smile on her face. "President Pearson, I think you'd better not step into the kitchen again."

She was puzzled as she had neatly placed the food on the plates, but after he transferred the food to the containers, it became a mess.

It seemed that he would only wreak havoc in the kitchen.

A displeased Aidan frowned. "Are you looking down on me?"

"That's not true. It's just a piece of sincere advice…"

Aidan ignored her and filled a cup with red wine.

Leanna hadn't had any food since afternoon, so she was starving. As she picked up a piece of cake, she realized that the man was staring fixedly at her with his dark gaze. She decided to stuff a piece of sushi into his mouth.

What surprised her was that before she could retract her hand, the man gently bit her fingers.

Instantly, Leanna felt a numbing sensation all over her hand. With a blushing face, she protested, "What are you doing?"

After gulping down the sushi, Aidan replied, "It's my response to you."

Leanna was rendered speechless.

What kind of response is that?

Then, she decided to ignore him and had her own food.

While enjoying her meal, she looked at the view around her.

In the darkness, the ocean didn't look as clear as it was in the morning. However, with the lighthouse casting its light on the ocean, it looked somewhat different from what they'd usually see.

She lifted her head and saw that the sky was filled with stars.

It seemed that the weather would be lovely the next day.

She poked the man with her elbow with a joyful expression. "Look, President Pearson. There are so many stars in the sky. They're beautiful!"

Aidan took a glance at her and said slowly, "The star beside me is more beautiful."

Leanna was engrossed in observing the stars, so she didn't clearly hear what he said. She subconsciously said, "Come again?"

"Nothing." Aidan passed her the glass of wine. "You didn't have enough wine last night. We'll drink together now."

Leanna retracted her gaze. "When did I say I didn't have enough wine? I just didn't get drunk."

With his lips curling up, Aidan asked, "Doesn't that mean you didn't have enough wine since you were

not drunk?"

Leanna was stupefied. What kind of nonsense is that?
