Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 296
"Thought about what?" She couldn't catch on at first.
He raised his brows and answered, "Moving out."
Hearing that, she became speechless. This b*stard is always thinking about these kinds of insignificant things.
She purposely said, "I thought about it already. I'm not moving out. If you want to, you can move in here. I have no comment." I can just leave an empty room for this b*stard and let him stay there alone.
"Really?" Aidan asked.
"Really. God is my witness." Her reply was extremely perfunctory as all she wanted was to go home and have some time to herself to think. She didn't want to waste her breath with him.
Aidan pulled her closer to him and wanted to kiss her. Just then, he glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that Jonathan was secretly looking at them.
Seeing that, he pressed his tongue against his teeth and let go of her in the end. "You should go inside."
Hearing that, she felt that she could finally escape, so she quickly opened the car door and ran inside.
Only after Leanna entered the neighborhood did Aidan pocket his gaze and said coldly, "If I remember it correctly, that land where the factory is built belongs to Crossley Group."
Jonathan nodded. "Yes. That is also the location of their new project. The factory will be demolished in two weeks."
When Aidan heard that, he pressed his lips together. It's definitely not a coincidence for Leanna to go there all of a sudden to find clues at this time. What is Lloyd planning?
At this moment, he recalled Leanna's question just now and asked, "About that explosion 20 years ago, who else was there other than Lloyd's wife and Leroy?"
Jonathan shook his head. They had looked into many things about Lloyd, but other than the fact that this tragedy was planned by Leroy, they couldn't find anything else.
Lloyd had probably gotten rid of everything regarding this when he reorganized Crossley Group back then.
Hearing that, Aidan snapped out of it and said calmly, "Drive."
As the black Rolls-Royce was traveling on the road, Jonathan said, "President Pearson, in my opinion, according to Lloyd's personality, he might not do this kind of thing. Is there any possibility that…"
Aidan tapped his slender fingers on his knees and replied calmly, "Of course he won't do it, if he's the real Lloyd."
Hearing that, Jonathan widened his eyes. "Do you mean that…"
"When Leanna mentioned it just now, only then did I realize that since Lloyd and Leroy could mimic each other's personality and tone to go against their opponents twenty years ago, it wouldn't be a difficult thing if one of them wanted to completely replace the other person." Aidan explained. He just needs to distance himself from those who know about Lloyd's living habits very well.
Jonathan then said, "Which means that the person in the Crossley Family now might not be the real Lloyd, but Leroy?"
"It's just a guess. He probably already got rid of all the evidence anyway. Or else, he wouldn't have been able to be Crossley Group's president for more than twenty years so peacefully."
"But if Leroy is pretending to be Lloyd, Georgina should be the real Lloyd's daughter. Shouldn't Leroy be doing anything he can to get rid of her? Why is he treating her so well?"
Aidan looked up and emphasized, "Since Leroy can replace Lloyd, he can also find a little girl around that age to replace Lloyd's daughter."
Jonathan gasped after hearing that. Although this was all their assumptions, if this was anything near the truth, it would be a serious and terrifying conspiracy.
…
On the other hand, when Leanna was waiting for the elevator, she bumped into Daniel again. They didn't talk anymore after greeting each other.
At this moment, she could feel the awkwardness that Zoe felt.
After they entered the elevator, Daniel suddenly said, "Miss McKinney."
"Yes?" She reacted immediately after being stunned for a second.
Daniel said, "I saw you coming out of President Pearson's car just now. You two got back together, right?"
She just pressed her lips together and admitted it tacitly.
"Although I know saying something like this at this moment may not be appropriate, I advise you to not immerse yourself too much in the happiness. There might be a tough battle later on."
Hearing that, Leanna frowned a little. She knew he was talking about Georgina.
In fact, Georgina always thought that Leanna was the reason why she couldn't marry Aidan. So, she was always mocking Leanna when they met each other. Now that she knew that Leanna got back together with Aidan, she definitely wouldn't let this go so easily.
"I got it. Thank you for your reminder." She nodded and expressed her gratitude.
Daniel nodded and wanted to say something else, but he changed his mind and swallowed the words in the end.
At this moment, the elevator reached Leanna's floor. "Bye," she said.
"Goodbye."
Only after Leanna entered her house did Daniel retract his gaze. He put his hand on the door knob, seemingly deep in thought.
Crossley Group's reaction this time round was actually quite strange. Even when they knew that the other party had dirt on them, they didn't seem to care at all and even started a new project right away.
Although it seemed like they were trying to divert attention, after combining it with what Georgina said previously, it was obvious that this matter was not that simple.
What Georgina cared about might not be the truth twenty years ago, but how to sling the mud on Leanna and drag Aidan into the mess in the process.
Yet… even when Leanna had the identity of Aidan's ex-wife, it didn't seem like she had anything to do with the matter twenty years ago.
What is Georgina planning?
…
As soon as Zoe came out of the shower, she saw Leanna changing her shoes at the door.
While putting on her face mask, she asked, "Nana, you're back already? Didn't you go on a date with President Pearson?"
Hearing that, she was silent before sighing and saying, "I'm too tired. I need a shower."
"Okay. Go ahead. I've ordered delivery. It should be here when you're done showering," said Zoe.
After Leanna entered the bathroom, she couldn't help but recall the clue that she found today.
Although Aidan said that it was impossible for Lloyd to have an illegitimate daughter, there was a photo of her family of three in her pocket watch, which meant that the owner of the pocket watch would surely be her biological father.
However, this was the answer she obtained in the end. No wonder I had a bad feeling yesterday night. It looks like my hunch is quite accurate.
When she left the shower, Zoe had just taken the delivery in. "Nana, you're just on time. You…"
Leanna froze a little and suddenly ran back into her room. "Zoe, you can eat first. I need to confirm something."
Hearing that, Zoe stood in the same place and looked at Leanna's back with confusion.
