Female Novel
Chapter 1737
It was obvious that there was a phone call, but because of the way the phone was angled, Cindycouldn’t see the exact number.
However, an impatient Aurora immediately hung up. “I wonder what these people have been doing allday. Can’t they just live their own lives? Why do they have to gossip about other people?”
Ian’s gaze fell on the darkened phone screen. “It’s still the previous number?”
She hummed in agreement. “I fell asleep just now and when I woke up, I realized there was a missedcall from this number. These heartless reporters are never stopping their calls.”
Since Cindy did not know what exactly was going on, she thought it was the media harassing Auroraand said, “Block them. I usually block them after receiving these kinds of calls.”
However, Aurora replied, “They have many different numbers. After you block this number, they mightcall you using another number a few days later.”
She focused on her meal. “These people really have too much time on their hands. After I hung up theircall, they seemed as though they didn’t know what had happened. Do I really have to answer it andscold them?”
Ian, who was by the side, insisted, “Don’t pick up their calls.”
Aurora nodded. “I know. Of course I won’t answer it. I’m just furious at these liars. If I wasn’t thinkingabout how it might affect you, I would’ve answered their calls and given them a piece of my mind. After
all, I’m already in such a bad state that I no longer care about my reputation.”
He retracted his gaze. “I’ll contact the agency later to ask them to settle this problem.”
She didn’t know what had transpired behind the scenes, so she agreed and the topic ended there.
When Aurora rejected both of Leah’s calls, Leah finally threw in the towel.
It was after dinner when Ian took Aurora’s phone and returned to his room. “I’m calling the agency.”
However, upon entering his room, he immediately used her phone to dial Leah’s number.
Leah also didn’t immediately answer the call. Instead, she chose to wait for a moment.
Once the call was connected, she felt slightly awkward because there was total silence from Ian’s end.
Even though both Aurora and Leah were somewhat involved with Bryce, they weren’t connected toeach other whatsoever. novelbin
After Aurora, Bryce was with a few other women before settling down with Leah.
Logically speaking, Aurora was no longer Bryce’s partner for the longest time ever, so Leah had noreason to look for her.
As Leah was feeling more or less guilty, she had a nice attitude.
She said, “Aurora, you probably don’t know who I am. Let me introduce myself—I am Leah
Zimmerman.”
Ian had never heard her speak in such a gentle tone.
As she thought that she had already introduced herself, Leah figured Aurora would know who she was,so she smiled. “Can we talk now?”
Ian immediately opened his mouth. “What do you want to talk about?”
A startled Leah immediately changed the way she spoke. “You’re Ian?”
Ian’s voice was slightly different this time. Previously, he had an indifferent tone when he answered hercall. Even if he was angry, he could still suppress it.
However, his voice was now icy cold. “Has my advice to you before this fallen on deaf ears? Do youthink I’m just threatening you for nothing? Are you only going to back down after I have revealed theskeletons in your closet?”
Leah’s mouth was agape as she stammered, “W-Why are you picking up the phone?”
“That’s none of your business. Let me ask you—what do you want? Haven’t I made my point clearenough? Or, is it that you don’t understand human language at all?” Ian spared her no mercy at all.
She remained silent for a moment before replying, “I just wanted to discuss our individual profits withyour mom. You don’t have to be so nervous. I won’t do anything to her.
Ian snorted in laughter. “You think too highly of yourself. What could you do to her? Do you have the
ability to do anything?”
Without waiting for Leah’s reply, he immediately added, “I think I gave you too much respect last timeuntil you think that we don’t have anything concrete in our hands.”
