Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 295
When Zoe saw that Leanna was frozen and wasn't saying anything, she flipped back to the previous page.
According to the purchase record, there were two pocket watches purchased under Lloyd's name, which meant that other than the one with Leanna, he had another pocket watch with him.
After a while, Zoe said carefully, "Nana…"
"Yes?' Leanna snapped out of her daze.
Zoe parted her lips and wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words in the end. She closed the book and said, "There are so many people on the list. We won't be able to glean any useful information just by skimming through it. Why don't we take this back home and study it? We will definitely find something useful."
Hearing that, Leanna nodded. "Okay."
After they put all the documents back to their original places, Leanna put the book of purchase information into her bag and left the warehouse with Zoe.
Just as she locked the door, a dazzling light came from afar, brightening the dark night.
Subconsciously, she narrowed her eyes, and almost immediately, she saw a tall figure appearing in her sight.
Aidan walked up to her and glanced at the warehouse. "What are you looking for?"
"Nothing," she said softly after pressing her lips together.
Seeing that, Zoe quickly said, "Umm… Nana, since President Pearson is here to pick you up, I should leave first." After she said that, she didn't wait for Leanna to answer and just left in a hurry after getting in the car.
After Zoe left, Leanna sighed discreetly while turning around to lock the door of the factory.
Meanwhile, Aidan looked at her and licked his lips inconspicuously as he narrowed his eyes. The look on his face was unfathomable.
Even after they got in the car, Leanna didn't talk to Aidan at all and just leaned against the window. She was seemingly in a bad mood.
On their way back, Jonathan called Aidan. "President Pearson, the Crossley Family started a new project and is looking for tenders. It looks like they want to use this chance to cover up what happened previously."
Hearing that, Aidan hummed in acknowledgement. Even when the Crossley Family suffered a huge loss, they were still tough and had the ability after all, so they wouldn't be easily defeated for sure.
However, it seemed like they were trying to recover the losses as soon as possible. Otherwise, they wouldn't be in a hurry to start a new project.
At this moment, Leanna suddenly asked, "President Pearson, how much do you know about Lloyd?"
Aidan looked at her. "The only way to win a war is to know your opponent completely. There's nothing I don't know about him. What do you want to ask?"
When she heard him say that, she didn't know how to ask her question all of a sudden. After a while, she said, "I think I've never seen Georgina's mother before. Do you know anything about this?"
Aidan crossed his legs and explained, "Lloyd has a twin brother named Leroy Crossley. Leroy is different from Lloyd, who has had high expectations from the Crossley Family ever since he was young. Leroy was weak from a young age, and he spent most of his time alone in the Crossley Residence's backyard. Since then, he has become gloomy and isolated and started to hate everything that Lloyd has."
However, since Lloyd was raised as the successor from the moment he was born, even if Leroy held grudges against him, it wouldn't change the fact that Lloyd would take the Crossley Family's president position.
The turning point in this matter was when their parents went abroad for business and died in a plane crash in the end. Lloyd and Leroy were the only ones left in the Crossley Family.
In contrast to Leroy's loner personality, Lloyd was gentle and big-hearted. He always felt guilty toward this little brother of his, so he stood against all odds and let Leroy join the Crossley Group. He even made Leroy the general manager and gave him a lot of important projects to handle.
After Leroy joined Crossley Group, perhaps because of the environmental change, he felt better and started recovering from his sickness. He also became more chatty and more at ease when dealing with business matters.
At that time, when President Crossley and his wife died together, many people were eyeing the Crossley Group, but under the concerted effort of Lloyd and Leroy, they turned the tide and pulled the Crossley Group, which was at the edge of a cliff, back up step by step.
Lloyd and Leroy looked very alike, so if they purposely mimicked the tone and living habits of the other, their assistants, who had been by their side for many years, wouldn't notice it as well. So, they used this advantage to win many wars.
Yet, just as Crossley Group was growing, Leroy couldn't stand living in Lloyd's shadow anymore, so he planned a conspiracy.
In the explosion, Georgina's mother unfortunately died, and Leroy suffered the consequences himself. He, including his family, couldn't escape from the explosion. They all died from that tragedy.
After this crisis, Crossley Group was already on the edge of bankruptcy. Lloyd was in bed for a few months to recover his health, and after that, he saved the company again on his own.
Since then, the journey of Crossley Group had been smooth and steady, and they didn't encounter any serious incidents anymore, until now.
However, with his experience of failing twice previously, the incident this time was nothing in Lloyd's eyes. This was why he could make the decision that would minimize the loss in such a short time to protect the foundation of Crossley Group.
Come to look at the situation now, his judgment was very advantageous for Crossley Group.
Leanna didn't know that the Crossley Family had such a shocking past. After being stunned for a while, she asked, "So… Is Georgina Lloyd's only daughter?"
"Yes."
Hearing that, she heaved a sigh of relief. After a pause, she couldn't help but ask, "Is there any possibility that he would have… an illegitimate daughter or something like that?"
If the person who bought the pocket watch was really her biological father, it would be understandable that Lloyd blocked her source of information and went against her covertly when he knew that she was looking for the man in the photo.
At this moment, Aidan looked at her sparkling eyes and could guess what was going through her mind. He lifted his hand and stroked her hair. "It's impossible. Don't overthink it."
Hearing that, Leanna looked down and didn't know what to say.
"Lloyd and his wife grew up together from a young age. Their relationship is really good," he added.
After that, he didn't continue talking anymore.
"I got it." She hummed in acknowledgement and didn't press the matter further.
Although she didn't know what happened to the Pearson Family at that time, she believed that according to Naomi's personality and character, she wouldn't become a mistress. There was surely some misunderstanding in this.
On the other hand, after Leanna and Aidan left, the initially pitch black factory area suddenly lit up as the factory burst into flames. Everything inside was burned, and nothing was left behind.
