Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 348

After William poured a glass of water for Aidan, the former sat opposite the latter and asked aloud, "Why did you come back with Cameron, President Pearson?"

Aidan folded his slender legs, tapped the armrest of the couch lightly with his fingers, and said lightly, "I think you should ask him this question."

William turned his head and glanced at the child who was lying against the door frame. The latter withdrew his head and closed the door tightly.

Seeing this, William said gently, "If Cameron offended you in any way, I apologize to you. He—"

"There's no need to apologize." Aidan's voice grew colder. "He went to find Leanna."

Hearing this, William was startled. He did not expect this to happen. Hence, his expression became a little stiff. Aidan didn't know what Cameron was thinking. "This child is like a ticking time bomb. If he finds Leanna today, he'll go find Lloyd tomorrow. If Leanna is implicated because of him, do you think it's a small matter, Mr. Morris?"

William pursed his lips and said after a long while, "Don't worry, President Pearson, I promise that this will not happen again."

"I didn't come to listen to any promises. I just wanted to remind you that sometimes, even a little omission will be fatal. You should understand this fact better than me."

"I understand what you mean, President Pearson."

Aidan was about to get up and leave, but then he thought of something. He sat down again, raised his eyebrows, and spoke up, "I have a question to ask you."

William replied, "Please. Go ahead, President Pearson."

Aidan said slowly, "Although you've returned to Highside after many years, I can imagine that you don't know many people here. However, I think there is a name that you should have some impression about."

William didn't answer. He picked up the glass and took a sip of water, waiting for Aidan's next words.

Aidan continued, "The name is Jethro McKinney. Does that ring a bell for you, Mr. Morris?"

"Who is that?"

With his cold eyes, Aidan stared at William with a deep smile. "It's nothing. It's just an irrelevant swindler. Since you don't know him, just pretend that I didn't ask you about him, Mr. Morris. I don't think you will be interested in his whereabouts."

William didn't say a word.

After Aidan took a few steps away, William suddenly said, "If you need any help, you can let me know, President Pearson."

"I'm going on a business trip to Italy tomorrow. Please, Mr. Morris, take care of my wife."

After Aidan left, Cameron came out of the room with his head lowered the entire time as if he knew he had done something wrong. He then whispered, "Uncle William, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

William walked up to him and squatted down, then began rubbing his head. "It doesn't matter; it's not your fault. Cameron, will you tell me why you did that?"

Cameron bit his lip, tears rolling in his eyes. He choked for a long time before he said, "I read on the Internet that she is Mr. Crossley's…"

Before he finished speaking, William could already guess what he wanted to say. Cameron was the son of the employee who met with an accident in the project under Crossley Group. The company originally wanted to get rid of the family, but William rushed over in time to take the wife and son away. However, during the process, Cameron's mother also met with a car accident and was lying in the hospital to this day in a coma. Hence, this child undoubtedly hated the entire Crossley Family. Recently, in order to cover up what happened in the past, Crossley Group secretly publicized the news of Leanna's return to the Crossley Family. In this way, most of the outside world will be focused on this gossip, and few people would really pay attention to the situation at Crossley Group.

After a while, Cameron sobbed and said, "I didn't do anything; I just wanted to go and have a look."

He first found the contact information of the studio on social media, he thereafter added Zoe and fabricated an identity to have today's meeting.

William sighed silently and patted Cameron's twitching shoulder. "I know, but Cameron, you are too impulsive. What you did was dangerous. You can't do it again."

Cameron nodded with tears in his eyes before wiping them away. "I know. I won't do this next time. Uncle William, that beautiful woman is a good person though. I believe she is not a bad person who would harm my parents. Besides, everyone was nice to me today!"

After speaking, he clenched his fists angrily and added, "Except that bad uncle!"

It took William a few seconds to realize who the "bad uncle" he was talking about was.

He got up with a smile and replied, "Okay. You should go to sleep now."

After Cameron returned to the room, William plastered a serious expression on his face. He took out his phone and dialed a number. "Have you found the whereabouts of Jethro?"

"Not yet. He is hiding very well. Other than us, Aidan and Lloyd are all looking for him."

William walked to the balcony and looked at the scenery outside. "Go to the neighborhood where we saw him last time and expand the search area. Find him as soon as possible."

There must be something up with Jethro. Otherwise. Aidan wouldn't mention him deliberately.

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, William stood there for a long time. In the end, he took out his phone and dialed another number…

On Monday, when Leanna arrived at the door of the studio, she saw a group of girls lying against the wall next door. They were looking at something excitedly.

At this time, Zoe just arrived. She was drinking soy milk while saying, "What are they doing?"

Leanna shook her head.

A girl then said in a hushed but excited voice, "Oh my God. He's really handsome!"

When Zoe heard that there was a handsome guy, her eyes lit up and she rushed over. "Where is the handsome guy?"

She lay against the door with the girls, but she only saw rows of figures inside and didn't even see the handsome guy anywhere. "Um, where is he?"

"Zoe, you don't get it. Rumor has it that this place has been set up as a music studio. The boss is a super handsome guy. Those people inside are all vying to sign up."

Zoe stood on tiptoe and stuck her head to look inside. There was a huge crowd, so she thought that this boss must really be handsome. "I think it's time for me to cultivate my musical expertise. I think I'll sign up too."

The man in question inside seemed to have sensed the talk outside and slowly stood up. When Zoe saw his face, the light in her eyes dissipated instantly. As if she had seen something bad, she quickly fled back to the studio.

As Leanna was pouring a glass of water in the room, she saw Zoe rushing back and asked with a smile, "Didn't you see the handsome guy?"

Zoe couldn't help but click her tongue. "Don't mention him! It's really bad luck."

Before Leanna could ask her what was wrong, Daniel appeared at the door and greeted them with a smile. "Miss McKinney, Zoe."

Zoe was speechless. Who allowed him to greet me in such an affectionate way?!
