Chapter 558

The tension between Michael and I grew more intense. When his phone rang, we instinctively looked at
the screen. The moment I realized the caller was Leanne, I smirked.

Great timing. It's as if that woman knows Michael and I are having a fight.

But Michael rejected the call right away. I wonder if it was because of the promise he made earlier.

I was relieved that he didn't pick up the call. had he answered the call right in front of me, I would
definitely not forgive him.

A few seconds later, Leanne called again. What a persistent woman!

Her name kept appearing on the screen, and I was annoyed. Before Michael could pick up the phone, I
snatched it over and rejected the call. I got so frustrated that I eventually blacklisted her number.

“It's gonna be a hassle for you to keep rejecting her calls. Adding her number to the blacklist can solve
your problem once and for all!” I said.

But I'd never admit that I did that out of jealousy!

Michael took a glance at me with his deadpan expression. It was as if he wasn't bothered by what I did
to Leanne's number.

“Do anything you want, but just don't get mad at me anymore,” he said in a calm voice.

I couldn't sense any emotions in his words. It was as if he was not affected by my act of blacklisting



Leanne's number.

The anger in me subsided a little upon hearing that. I was relieved that he didn't pay attention to
Leanne.

An awkward silence filled the air because of the argument. Even after we had arrived at the Shaw
residence, I still wasn't exactly in a mood to talk to Michael. We were so quiet that Josephine instantly
noticed the tension between us.

Michael spent the entire late evening in the study, and I decided to take a shower before hitting the
sack. Before I stepped into the bathroom, Josephine knocked on the door and came into my room.

I was a little surprised to see Josephine in our bedroom because she seldom came to look for us when
I was about to call it a night.

“Hey, Mom. What brings you here?” I gave her a puzzled look.

“Did something happen between you and Michael? I came to talk to you because I feel something's
amiss between you two. Did you argue with Michael?” Josephine looked straight into my eyes and
asked anxiously.

At first, I didn't want to tell Josephine our problem, but I wanted to know if she knew who Leanne was.
“Mom, do you know Leanne Ryheim?”
The tension between Michael and I grew more intense. When his phone rang, we instinctively looked at
the screen. The moment I realized the caller was Leanne, I smirked.
Tha tansion batwaan Michaal and I graw mora intansa. Whan his phona rang, wa instinctivaly lookad at
tha scraan. Tha momant I raalizad tha callar was Laanna, I smirkad.



Graat timing. It's as if that woman knows Michaal and I ara having a fight.

But Michaal rajactad tha call right away. I wondar if it was bacausa of tha promisa ha mada aarliar.

I was raliavad that ha didn't pick up tha call. had ha answarad tha call right in front of ma, I would
dafinitaly not forgiva him.

A faw saconds latar, Laanna callad again. What a parsistant woman!

Har nama kapt appaaring on tha scraan, and I was annoyad. Bafora Michaal could pick up tha phona, I
snatchad it ovar and rajactad tha call. I got so frustratad that I avantually blacklistad har numbar.

“It's gonna ba a hassla for you to kaap rajacting har calls. Adding har numbar to tha blacklist can solva
your problam onca and for all!” I said.

But I'd navar admit that I did that out of jaalousy!

Michaal took a glanca at ma with his daadpan axprassion. It was as if ha wasn't botharad by what I did
to Laanna's numbar.

“Do anything you want, but just don't gat mad at ma anymora,” ha said in a calm voica.

I couldn't sansa any amotions in his words. It was as if ha was not affactad by my act of blacklisting
Laanna's numbar.

Tha angar in ma subsidad a littla upon haaring that. I was raliavad that ha didn't pay attantion to



Laanna.

An awkward silanca fillad tha air bacausa of tha argumant. Evan aftar wa had arrivad at tha Shaw
rasidanca, I still wasn't axactly in a mood to talk to Michaal. Wa wara so quiat that Josaphina instantly
noticad tha tansion batwaan us.

Michaal spant tha antira lata avaning in tha study, and I dacidad to taka a showar bafora hitting tha
sack. Bafora I stappad into tha bathroom, Josaphina knockad on tha door and cama into my room.

I was a littla surprisad to saa Josaphina in our badroom bacausa sha saldom cama to look for us whan
I was about to call it a night.

“Hay, Mom. What brings you hara?” I gava har a puzzlad look.

“Did somathing happan batwaan you and Michaal? I cama to talk to you bacausa I faal somathing's
amiss batwaan you two. Did you argua with Michaal?” Josaphina lookad straight into my ayas and
askad anxiously.

At first, I didn't want to tall Josaphina our problam, but I wantad to know if sha knaw who Laanna was.
“Mom, do you know Laanna Ryhaim?”

I looked Josephine while looking into her eyes.

“Leanne? What's wrong? Did something happen between Michael and her?”

A disgusted look flashed across Josephine's eyes. She could not help but frown the moment she heard
that name.



Based on her reaction, I deduced that Josephine knew who Leanne was. Oh well, even Michael's mom
knew who that woman was. She must have dated Michael for a long time.

“No, it's just a random question. Earlier today, I found out Leanne was Michael's ex-girlfriend. That
made me a little uncomfortable, but I won't take it out on Michael. Don't worry,” I said.

I didn't want Josephine to know that Michael and I had an argument while we were driving to the Shaw
residence.

“I can't believe that woman is back!” Josephine expressed her dismay.

I could tell that she was surprised to learn that Leanne had returned to the country.

“Why do I feel like you two had known each other for a long time? Are you close with that woman,
Mom?” I asked out of curiosity.

Based on her response, I bet she knows who Leanne is. She must have known a lot of things that
happened between Michael and Leanne when they were still a couple.

“I know who she is, but I've only met her twice. That's all,” Josephine answered in a calm voice.

It was clear that she didn't want to continue the conversation about Leanne.

“How much do you know about her? She looks gentle and soft-spoken,” I asked.



I didn't want Michael to talk about Leanne in front of me, but that didn't mean I was not curious about
that woman. I was eager to know what happened between them.

“Gentle? Soft-spoken? She's an opportunist who is devious! Do you know that she left Michael
because of money? She left him after she received several million!” Josephine said in disdain as if she
was disgusted by Leanne.

“What did you say? She left Michael for several million? What happened?” Josephine's words aroused
my curiosity. I couldn't help but ask further.

Josephine paused for a bit and took a glance at me before telling me the entire story.

She said Michael and Leanne had dated for about a year. At that time, the Shaws were not a
particularly wealthy family. Josephine disliked Leanne, so she approached Leanne and told her to leave
Michael.

Initially, Josephine thought Leanne wouldn't agree to leave Michael. But during their second meeting,
Leanne said she would leave Michael for good if Josephine gave her five million.

Josephine eventually gave Leanne the money she asked for, and Leanne kept her promise and left
Michael. Since then, no one, not even Michael, knew her whereabouts.

After hearing the story, I totally lost respect for Leanne. Leanne left Michael after receiving five million
from Josephine, yet now she had the guts to come back and try to reconcile with Michael?

Has she no shame? This is unbelievable!



If I were her, I don't think I would dare to reach out to Michael after being missing in action for years!

“I didn't expect Leanne to do such a thing,” I said.

Her action rendered me speechless. I can't believe Michael would even fall for a woman like that!

Years ago, Leanne left him for the money, yet now he's still willing to take care of her? Is he still in love
with that woman?

“Mom, was Michael deeply in love with her?” I looked Josephine in the eyes and asked in a serious
voice.

To this day, I still couldn't understand why Michael cared so much about Leanne. Did he forget that the
woman had once hurt his feelings?

“Anna, I don't want you to overthink. I could tell Michael loves you very much, and you're the only
woman in his life. He'll not fall in love with Leanne again, trust me. Even if they intend to rekindle their
relationship, I'll not allow that to happen! Over my dead body!” Josephine consoled me right away as
she didn't want me to overthink.

“Calm down, Mom. I didn't overthink. I just felt a little uncomfortable because Leanne had been calling
Michael in the last couple of days,” I said.

Knowing that Josephine would always be on my side, I intentionally told her about Leanne and how she
kept disturbing Michael.

Some might think that I was making use of Josephine to take Leanne down, but I was only doing this to



protect my relationship with Michael. I don't care if anyone calls me a scheming person. I'll do anything
to stop anyone from coming between us.
