Chapter 219 - Revenge 219: Never Believe

As Anna and the others are inside the cafeteria, there is this certain someone in the back of the school building holding his phone waiting for someone to answer his call. As soon as that someone answered the call, he immediately said, "Boss! Before you get on what I am about to say, I just want to tell you that it is not my fault, it's your son's fault." 

"Leon, get straight to the point. I'm doing something important, and I don't have the energy to keep listening to your rumbling."

"Okay." Leon readied himself before telling his boss what Aaron has done to him. "I have become your daughter's partner in a certain event, and I am telling you now that I might be holding your daughter's hand or—"

Before Leon could even finish his sentence, Arion cut him off with a threatening tone of voice. "Leon, I am also telling you now that if you ever dare to touch a single hair on my daughter I can promise you that your hands will be cut off." Even though Leon told him that is was his son's fault, Arion wouldn't believe that because he knows that his son would not let some random guy touch Anna.

Knowing Leon's playful personality and Leon's habit of making him angry, Arion believes that this is all Leon's plan just to get on his nerves. 'Never believe whatever nonsense that mischievous child is saying.' Arion keep repeating that line on his head.

Leon wanted to say again that it was really Aaron's fault, but Arion already cut off the call. Leon has this certain expression on his face, an expression that says that he is doom. He blames himself that Arion would not believe him if he had not been joking around his boss, then his boss would believe him. Since this is the result of his attempt on telling the truth to his boss, Leon can only accept it with a heavy heart.

As he is blaming himself, he is also blaming Aaron because he knows that Aaron is doing this just to get a certain person jealous. Obviously it is not his boss because none of the Coleman or any close friends of the Coleman knows that his boss is back in the country.

'God, why is Aaron doing this to me?' Leon cried inwardly.

Leon stayed on his spot for a while as he is thinking of a way to escape his upcoming death, and at the same time, someone suddenly appeared not so far away from him. It looks to him that the person did not even notice his presence yet.

Curious on what that person is doing in a place like this, Leon stealthily hid behind the bushed, and listen to the conversation that person is having on her phone. "I literally secluded myself from everyone in this school, so don't go telling me what to do and tell me what you want to say." It is clear in her voice that she is upset about the person she is talking to over the phone, and the question in Leon's mind, who is the person she is talking to.

"Of course, I want to win the pageant. This might give me the opportunity that I need... Are you entering the pageant? Is that why you are calling me, Rebecca?" Hearing a familiar name from her mouth, a brow suddenly raises in Leon's face.

He got hooked on the conversation she is having with Rebecca. But he can already guess what their conversation is leading to. Truth to be told, there is no point for him to listen any further because he knows that they will plot, but if he does listen till the end, he is able to help Anna avoid trouble with ease. At least that way, his boss will recognize his effort, and his punishment will be relieved.

"Anna is entering instead of you? Well, there is no question about that. I hate to admit it, but Anna is very pretty and very smart. Choosing her over you is a smart choice from your classmates." The person really wants to laugh out loud because of Rebecca's defeat with Anna, but she can't because for her, laughing out loud, is not a doing of a proper lady. So she has to keep her laughter in.

"Of course I want to win this damn pageant, and Anna is a big challenge for me... Watch what you are saying to me Rebecca, between you and me, my family is very powerful compared to yours." The person looks at the time on the watch and saw that the end of lunchtime is almost over, so she said to Rebecca, "Look, we can talk about this later, lunchtime is almost over, so goodbye.'

Without waiting for Rebecca's reply, she immediately hung up and left the place. Leon came out of his hiding place, and a frown was plastered on his face.

"What the heck... that's it? They did not even mention any of their dirty plans." Leon is upset that he hid for nothing. He did not get any useful information at all; the only thing he got is Rebecca getting involved, but that doesn't surprise Anna and the other, they are already expecting that kind of action from Rebecca.

While listening to the teacher, Lannie suddenly received a text from Aaron; without any hurry, Lannie opened her phone and read the message. As she is reading it, excitement is starting to fill her up.
