Chapter 202

Chapter 202 Stop While You’re Ahead He drove her to a holiday home. Elijah got out of the car and went around to open the door for her. “Thank you,” she said. “No prob. Let’s go inside.” Leanna looked at the holiday home. It was lushly decorated, and she thought it felt like a house owned by intellectuals. A servant came to welcome them. “Mr. Jackson is waiting for you in the tea room, sir.” Elijah nodded. He took Leanna to the tea room. Before they went inside, he whispered, “Just say nothing and watch what happens, Leanna.” Leanna nodded. “Sure.” A man with gray hair sat in front of the table, and he was making tea. This man was Mr. Jackson, and sitting before him was a middle-aged couple. Leanna was surprised to see the couple here. Mr. Jackson heard the sounds of footsteps, and he put his teapot down. When he saw Leanna, it caught him by surprise.

“And this is?” Elijah said, “This is Leanna, my friend.” He told Leanna, “This is Mr. Jackson, my father’s mentor.” Leanna said, “Hello, Mr. Jackson.” Mr. Jackson smiled. “You have a gorgeous friend, Elijah. Come. Sit.” Anna’s parents looked at each other. Anna told them Elijah knew Leanna, but they didn’t expect him to bring her here. Mr. Jackson poured a cup of tea for Elijah and Leanna. He said, “This is the first time Elijah brought someone here. You must be really close to him.” Leanna was a little dazed. She had no idea how to answer that. Elijah smiled. “Sorry, Mr. Jackson. I brought her here for personal and formal reasons. She needs your help.” “Is that so?” Mr. Jackson said, “What happened, girl? Tell me. I’ll help as long as I can.” Anna’s father said, “It’s just a misunderstanding, Mr. Jackson.”

Mr. Jackson looked at them and frowned. “You have something to do with this?” “Miss McKinney has bad blood with my daughter, but it’s nothing big. Kids fight all the time. I’ve apologized to Mr. Parker, so…” Anna’s parents came to talk about the partnership with Constellation Tech. Ever since Anna got on Elijah’s bad side, he canceled the partnership unilaterally. Anna’s parents broke their backs just to get this chance, and they wouldn’t give the partnership up. Since the cancellation, they’ve sought Elijah out countless times. But Elijah refused to see them, so they pinned their hopes on Mr. Jackson. Previously, Elijah only agreed to the partnership thanks to Mr. Jackson’s help. They thought Elijah

would rekindle the partnership if Mr. Jackson intervened. He was just a young lad after all. Mr. Jackson said, “Alright, that’s confusing. Did you apologize to Elijah or Miss MicKinney?” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Elijah smiled. “Let me explain, Mr. Jackson.” Leanna looked at Elijah, and he nodded at her, telling her to calm down. Elijah told him about what Anna did at Leanna’s workshop. She wasn’t the kid like her parents claimed. That woman was a spoiled brat who thought she could do as she pleased just because she was rich. The Pearson couple looked upset, but they had no argument against that. They knew how spoiled Anna was, but nobody in the family lectured her, since Leanna was just a nobody. In the end, Anna’s mother got upset. She said, “That’s our family matter. Don’t you think you’re overstepping it a little, Mr. Parker?” Leanna looked at her coolly. “Is it a family matter, really?” “Why you…” Anna wanted to say something, but her husband pushed her down. Anna’s father said, “Miss McKinney, I know Anna did wrong by you, but it’s all in the past now. She’s already learnt her lesson. Please, forgive her.” “Yeah. She’s still under house arrest. Don’t push your luck any further, Miss McKinney.”

Leanna smiled. “That’s what she deserves. I didn’t ask for her to be put under house arrest.” Anna’s mother shot up. “Just because Elijah’s supporting you doesn’t mean you can sh*t on us, wench! You’re just used goods Aidan tossed out of the family! You think you’re a bigshot now that you hooked up with Elijah? Well, let me tell you something. You’re still nothing!” Anna’s father quickly stood up and held her down. “I’m sorry, Mr. Jackson. We…” he apologized. “Enough! How much longer do you want to bow to them? I’m a proud Zielinski, and I bow to no one!” She picked her bag up and was about to storm off. He kept bowing at Mr. Jackson. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Jackson. She didn’t mean what she said. Don’t take it to heart.” Mr. Jackson sipped on his tea. “I can’t help you at this point.” Anna’s mother looked at Elijah, but he spared her no smiles. She gnashed her teeth and left in frustration. Once they were gone, Mr. Jackson sighed. “I’m sorry for not vetting them, Elijah.”

“It’s alright, Mr. Jackson. I just thought I should make things clear for you.” Mr. Jackson said, “It’s their fault, girl. Don’t take what they said to heart. I never wanted to deal with the Pearsons and Zielinskies’

problems, but Winston used to be my student, and I’d like to help his family if I could.” Leanna smiled. “Thank you, Mr. Jackson.” A servant knocked on the door and told them dinner was ready. Mr. Jackson stood up. “Well, it’s time for dinner.” Elijah and Leanna followed behind. Elijah whispered, “Sorry for not telling you earlier, Leanna.” He pursed his lips. “I wanted them to apologize to you though.” Leanna said, “It’s fine. I never expected their apology.” Anna and Sienna could apologize until their tongues fell off, but it wouldn’t work on Leanna. She would feel nothing but disgust.
