Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 230

The snow that fell ovemight covered the resort in a white mist. The good weather that appeared days ago seemed to be a distant memory now. Elijah was helping Leanna into the car. Before they left, she tumed around and vaguely saw the villa in the mountains.

Elijah looked in the direction she was staring at, and he pursed his lips. "Time to go."

She looked away and nodded before getting in the car.

After they were gone, Jonathan knocked on Aidan's door. "Sir, Mr. Parker and the madam have left," he said.

Aidan grunted and got up. "Let's go. "

Jonathan followed. "Sir, we've received news about the Zielinskies' plan. They're going to send Miss Anna overseas in about ftvo days. Through the Crossleys, of course. Itinerary unknown. "

Aidan sneered. "So there's the continuation of their little show."

"Sir, you're saymg...

"Sienna's strength lies in her family. Do you think she's going to go against them just for Anna?"

What happened back at the house was just a show for me. Anna managed to leave with the Crossleys helping her, and it's all thanks to Sienna.

Jonathan got what Aidan was saying. "I've told the men to keep an eye on Miss Anna the moment she leaves the Zielinski Residence. "

After a sh01t pause, Aidan asked, "What about Lloyd? Any news on him?"

"Mr. Crossley has been acting weird lately. He's looking into the case of... the madam's father. '

Aidan stopped in his tracks and frowned. "Jethro?"

"Yes," Jonathan said. "And one more thing, sir. When I was investigating Lloyd, I found out that his underling paid a private investigator a big sum of money recently. The last client of this investigator was the madam's brother, who went to some magazine publishers to post a missing persons poster. "

"Let me see the photo."

Jonathan whipped his phone out and handed it to Aidan.

The photo showed a young girl of about two or tln•ee years old sitting in the center. He enlarged the photo and realized the girl looked just like a mini version of Leanna. The woman who held her looked a little like Leanna too. However, the man who got his face blurred out was obviously not Jethro.

Aidan narrowed his eyes. "Did Lloyd stalt looking into Jethro's case before or after Louis posted the missing persons notice?"

"After," Jonathan answered.

A few moments later, Aidan handed the phone back to Jonathan and walked ahead. "Keep an eye on Lloyd and see what he's up to. "

"Yes, sir."

A moment of silence later, Aidan continued, "Leanna's not Jethro's real daughter. I want you to find out who the other people in the photo are. '

That reply caught Jonathan by surprise.

They were standing in front of the elevator, and Aidan put his hand in his pocket. "Surprised?" He looked at Jonathan.

"Of course she's not his daughter. That b*stard can't sire someone like her. '

Jonathan nodded. "I'll tell my men to do it right away."

Leanna was finally back at her condominium. Zoe helped her out of the car before looking at Elijah. "Thanks for giving her a ride home. Wanna come up?"

Elijah said, "I'll... be going now. You ladies go home.'

Daniel nodded. "Yes. "

"How do you feel about Zoe?"

It was obvious that Zoe liked Daniel. Leanna thought he must have noticed it as well. She thought Daniel was a nice guy, but what he did to Zoe was perplexing.

Daniel was sulprised that she would ask that. He stayed quiet for a moment, and then he smiled. "We're neighbors. Or friends, so to speak. "

"Nobody would ask their friend out for dinner and give them that kind of excuse before leaving them behind, " said Leanna.

Daniel let out an awkward cough. "Sony. I had my reasons. I did fry to apologize to her. Even asked Louis to help me out, but she thinks I did it on purpose.'

Georgina was in the same restaurant that day. Daniel was frying to get her trust, and it was going well. He couldn't let his eff01ts go to waste, so he came up with a stupid excuse.

A moment of silence later, Leanna said, "If you don't feel the same way about her, I suggest you keep some distance from her. '

Daniel pursed his lips. "I know. And tell her I'm sorry."

"I will." Leanna nodded at him. "And thanks for taking care of Louis. "

The elevator doors swung open.

Leanna was about to leave, but Daniel said, "Miss McKinney, have you ever thought about the mastermind who tried to sabotage you a while ago?"

Leanna turned around curiously. That question came out of nowhere.

Daniel smiled. "I'm just frying to say... be on the lookout, Miss McKinney."
