Chapter 110

Chapter 110 A Master in Multitasking

Leanna felt that since the days she and Aidan lived together, she would either die due to the rage he

invoked in her, or he would eventually be so fed up with her that he would deal with her in a way that

didn’t involve killing. Then, he would bury her in a place where she couldn’t be found.

Fortunately, she b*stard seemed busier in the next few days. She didn’t even know if he would come

back at night.

Leanna finally managed to relax and came up with a design.

After she emailed the sketch to Georgina, she left her desk and stretched.

Then, Leanna picked up the phone and noticed that it was the weekend. Immediately, she texted Zoe

to ask if she wanted to go shopping.

Zoe, who just happened to be lying in the apartment Leanna rented, immediately became energetic

after receiving Leanna’s text. “Let’s go. I’ll leave the house after I change.”

When they met, Zoe looked at Leanna with a meaningful smile on her face. “Nana, your complexion

seems to be getting better, and you’re getting a little more chubby. It seems like that b*stard is treating

you well.”

Leanan did not know how to react to this. “What are you talking about? The only reason I’m surviving is

that I’ve been lucky.”

After the two chatted more, Zoe noticed a baby store next to her. Just as she was about to drag Leanna

in, Zoe was stopped by Leanna. “No, no, no! Please, don’t!”

Zoe had no idea why Leanna was reluctant. “What’s wrong? I saw a cute shirt in there.”

Every time Leanna saw any baby products, she felt her head throb. Who knew what went through

Aidan’s head the other day when he bought countless baby products? To make it worse, Jonathan had

brought all the boxes from Underwood Lane to Castor Villa in the past two days.

She didn’t know how to explain it to Zoe and just said, “I have enough of those. Let’s look at other

things.”

“Fine. I’ll wait until the baby’s born then.”

After they strolled around the mall, Zoe noticed that there was a new apartment nearby and dragged

Leanna along to the viewing. She had already given her previous house to a real estate agent and

handed everything to the agency. She would just have to sign the contract if the price was right. And if

she found a suitable place, she could also pay the deposit first. The new development happened to be

in the business district, with a good location and surrounding facilities. Hence, a lot of people came to

take a look. This piqued Zoe’s interest. But then, she suddenly heard a familiar voice, “Honey, I like this

one. Let’s buy this, okay?” Anthony might have agreed after hearing Jeanette’s coquettish tone if it

were anything else. But, what she was asking, for now, was a house with a down payment of several

million.

He could only prevaricate, “Actually, I think it’s nothing special. Let’s look at something else.” “I don’t

want to. I like this one. Look at this room. We can both live there. Then, this room can be my dressing

room. This would be the baby room. There’s also a large balcony that faces the central square. The

view at night must be beautiful.” The salesman next to them began to upsell the apartment, “Sir,

Madam, this apartment is very popular. Unfortunately, there are only a few floors left. The later you buy

it, the fewer options you have.” When Jeanette heard this, she was keener on getting Anthony to pay

the down payment immediately. The salesman continued, “Sir, since your wife loves it so much, why

don’t you just buy it?” Anthony was embarrassed. He couldn’t just walk away because of his pride.

Once Zoe had enough of the show, she sneered, “He needs to be rich if he wants to buy it.” As soon as

she said that, several people looked over.

When he heard the voice, his face lit up with delight. “Zoe, why are you here?”

Immediately, Jeanette grabbed him with an unhappy look on her face as she looked at Zoe and

Leanna. “What are you guys doing here?”

“What else can I do here? We’re here to buy a house, of course. Unlike you, who’s just here to see.”

“Who said we’re not buying?” Contempt was apparent on Jeanette’s face. “Can you even afford it? If

you can’t, leave. Don’t embarrass yourself here.”

“Then, buy it. Why are you talking so much?” Leanna spoke lightly.

“Exactly. Show us what you can have,” Zoe added on.

Jeanette grabbed Anthony’s arms and acted coyly as she felt utterly provoked by the two. “Honey, look

at them…”

Of course, he wasn’t foolish enough to buy the house right away. He didn’t even have enough money

for the down payment. So, he changed the topic by directing it toward Zoe. “Zoe, I heard you’ve sold

our house on the Internet?”

“My house, not ours,” Zoe corrected him. “Whatever it is, it’s still the house we married in. How can you

just sell it without telling me? You’re too much.”

Zoe was instantly amused when she heard his shameless reply. “Are you trying to save yourself some

face? My parents paid the down payment, and I repaid the loan myself. How does it have anything to

do with you?”

“In order to buy that house, I’ve reached out to a lot of people. The meals I spent on them weren’t

cheap. While you paid the house loan, I paid for our living expenses. I’ve also bought you gifts. I should

have a share of the house.”

“Come, tell me, what kind of living expenses did you pay for? You spent all your money on the

mistresses. You really have the nerve to mention the gifts. Everything I get, your mistress gets one too.

You’re truly a master at multitasking.”

Since many people were already looking at the house, everyone gathered around to watch the

commotion between Anthony and Zoe.

Someone from the crowd said, “So this woman is a mistress. No wonder I feel so unsettled looking at

her. She’s a vixen!”

“Nowadays, mistresses are really brazen. How shameless of her to coax the man to buy her a house

right after being a homewrecker?”

In the face of people’s judgment, Jeanette’s face turned red with anger. Then, she pointed her finger at

Leanna and said, “Anthony and I are truly in love. I am better than some people who would settle with

being someone’s undercovered wife and not being able to speak up about being pregnant. Yet, after all

that, she still thinks so highly of herself. How ridiculous.”

After she said that, she turned to look at Zoe. “Instead of wasting your time on me, why not take better

care of your friend?”

Zoe immediately exploded when she heard this and went up to Jeanette, grabbed her hair, and slapped

her. “I’ll f*ck you up!”

Of course, Jeanette didn’t want to be outdone, and the two women began to fight.

Leanna held her stomach; she couldn’t help even if she wanted to.

Fortunately, the sales office staff quickly pulled them apart. At this point, Jeanette’s hair was a mess as

she screamed, “You lunatic! I’m never letting you go!”

Zoe sneered in disdain and instigated. “Come at me! We’ll see who wins! I’ve long wanted to get my

hands on you two!”

Anthony, who stood at the side, had an unhappy look on his face. “Zoe, you—”

“What’s with me? Anthony, as a man, you’re really into bad-mouthing people. Aren’t you afraid that one

day your mouth might rot with all the slanderous things you’ve spouted?”

“When did I bad-mouth her? I’m just telling the truth!”
