Chapter 647 President Pearson and His Wife
Since most restaurants were already closed at this time, they chose to eat at a cafe by the street. It
was clean, hygienic, and delicious. Zoe had already come here for a meal with the girls from the studio
before, so she was familiar with the owner.
After they ordered, Leanna's phone rang. It was Aidan.
Leanna walked to the side and answered, "Hello?"
Along with her voice came the sound of cars zooming by on the street.
On the other end of the phone, Aidan paused before asking, "You're not at home?"
"Louis and Daphne were recording a show today. We waited for them to finish so we could eat
together."
"Have they finished yet?"
"Yes, we're already eating together."
Aidan said, "Send me the address."
Leanna asked, "Have you finished work?"
Aidan replied with a grunt, "Yeah, I'll come and pick you up."
Leanna smiled. "Okay."
After hanging up, she sent Aidan the address and turned around before sitting down at the table.
Leanna looked at Charlotte, who was yawning, and asked Zoe, "How much longer will Daphne and
Louis take to get here?"
"I just called them. They said in about ten minutes. When the food arrives, they should be here."
Leanna nodded and turned to Charlotte. "If you're really tired, you can go sleep in the car. I'll bring you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfood later."
Charlotte rubbed her eyes, "No need. I'll be fine when we start eating."
Zoe laughed and said, "I envy how easily you fall asleep. Once upon a time, I was like you; I could fall
asleep as soon as I closed my eyes."
Charlotte didn't understand. "Don't you sleep when you close your eyes? Why can't you sleep?"
"When you get a few years older, you'll understand what insomnia is."
Charlotte's young age and regular sleep patterns made it impossible for her to fully experience
insomnia.
Zoe looked at Leanna and asked, "Who called you just now? President Pearson?"
"Yes, he's coming over in a bit."
"He's so busy. When will he ever have time?"
Leanna paused for a few seconds before smiling. "Soon."
After ten minutes, Daphne and Louis arrived and their grilled food was served.
Zoe looked at Daphne and sighed. "Why did Tina record the show with you?"
Daphne raised her eyebrows. "Maybe because I've done a lot of bad things and have bad karma."
"That's outrageous. What were the organizers thinking? She didn't even participate much during the
entire recording process. When it airs, won't she get criticized?"
"I heard they brought her in to save the day. The organizers will edit more footage of her. Also, she's
smart; she knows when to show herself in front of the camera and get away with not working too hard."
"No wonder I heard she received a lot of hate online, but her fans are trying to clear her name
everywhere. She didn't cause you any trouble, did she?" said Zoe.
Thinking back to the few minutes before the recording, Daphne subconsciously looked at Louis. He
opened a can of drink with one hand and placed it in front of her, just as she looked at him.
Daphne quickly averted her gaze and said seriously, "Not really. Her tricks don't work on me."
While Daphne and Zoe were still chatting, Louis opened more drinks and placed them in front of
Leanna, Zoe, and Charlotte.
When Charlotte took her drink, her face turned slightly red as she said, "Thank you."
Leanna asked Louis, "When will you finish recording this show?"
"Around the end of this month."
"After this show, does the company have other arrangements for you?"
Louis nodded. "Yes."
Leanna was about to say something else when a black limousine pulled up on the street beside them.
A few seconds later, Tina got out of the car.
She looked at Daphne with her arms crossed and a smirk on her face. "Your friends waited for you all
night and you treated them to this? If it were me, I wouldn't do something like this. However, I have a
solution. My friend opened a restaurant nearby, and if you use this card and say I sent you, the meal is
on me. After all, we've been in this industry for so many years and we're considered old friends, right?"
Daphne remained unfazed and said calmly, "I don't remember when we became friends."
Tina wasn't angry either; she just chuckled and covered her mouth. "Are you still hung up on that thing
from so many years ago? You know me. I don't tolerate bad people, especially homewreckers who
break up families, so I got a little emotional at the time. I understand why you made that choice though.
We work so hard to make money, and shortcuts are always welcomed. But you also need to have the
luck to enjoy the benefits."
Tina's words were meant to embarrass Daphne in front of her friends and Louis, but to her surprise,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthey all remained silent and continued to eat their barbecue.
Her smile faded a bit as she looked at Daphne and continued, "I'm only telling you this out of good
intentions. The reason why you're so arrogant and feel invincible is that President Pearson has been
supporting you. He's on good terms with his wife now, so he doesn't have time for you. I suggest you
give up and stop trying to break up other people's families."
Louis furrowed his brows and was about to stand up, but Daphne grabbed his arm.
Leanna looked up at Tina and said, "Don't you know that you can be held legally responsible for what
you say?"
Tina snorted. "I didn't make this up. Everyone in the industry knows that she only got to where she is
today because of the support from Pearson Group. They didn't support others, but they supported her
because she's cunning and knows how to play the game. There are so many other stars and models
under Pearson Group, but she's the only one who has succeeded because she's the one who's won
President Pearson's heart."
Zoe added, "So, even if you're right, it's fine for President Pearson to do so because he spends money
to promote someone who's not only pretty but also talented and hardworking. Why would he support
someone like you who's ugly, speaks harshly, and has a bad attitude? Sour grapes!"
Tina's face instantly turned ugly as she yelled, "What did you say?"
"I said what I said. I'm sure you understand that. But, if you want to hear it again, I can repeat it! Sour
grapes! Sour grapes! Sour grapes!" Zoe said.
Charlotte saw how Zoe was so passionate about defending their friend, and she didn't want to lose to
Zoe, so she stuttered, "S-Sour g-grapes!"
Tina was livid and screamed angrily, "You're all crazy! A bunch of lunatics! Like attracts like! You better
watch out. I heard President Pearson's wife isn't a nice person. If she finds out about what's going on
between you and President Pearson, you'll be done for!"
