Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Picked Off the Streets After receiving 300 thousand from Aidan, Jethro indulged in all the luxuries of life. He got himself all spiffed up and strutted about proudly as his self-esteem soared thanks to all the flattery he received. It was right around this time that he heard about a business opportunity.

300 thousand was a pittance compared to Jethro’s greed, so once he heard about the possibility of making millions from it, he immediately handed all his money over. He still needed a few dozen grand, so he decided to get in touch with some loan sharks and offered to partner with them. Clearly, this was a trap. Once the others managed to squeeze every last drop of cash out of him, the loan sharks came knocking on his door again. Jethro caught wind of it and went into hiding once more. Somehow, the loan sharks found out about Louis working at a convenience store, so they came looking for him instead.

There was no way that Louis would give them any money, so they became physical. After hearing everything, Leanna could feel the veins along her forehead throbbing violently. She did have a feeling that something bad would happen… He frowned at her silence. “You don’t need to bother with this. His matters have nothing to do with us.” “That’s not true, boy. Isn’t it a given to repay a debt? How can you say you’re not going to bother with this?” A man called out from behind them, and Leanna’s grip tightened around Louis’ arm as she turned around to look at him. This man was the same one that stormed into their house three years ago and forced her to make a decision while clutching Louis’ arm. Louis recognized him too. The air around him seemed to freeze as he tried to rush at the man, but Leanna held him back. Ron Sedley gave Leanna a sly grin. “What a coincidence.

I never thought I’d see you again.” Her lips thinned into a straight line without responding. Louis shoved Leanna behind him. There was a menacing expression on his handsome face as he said, “Go and look for Jethro if you want your money back.” “Oh? Look who it is that got his panties in a wad. So, you’re Jethro’s son, huh? You’ve grown so much taller after three years.” Ron turned to the bunch of hooligans behind him and said, “Guys, take a look. That’s a state-level top scorer over there! You should get some of his good luck.” The bunch of hooligans howled with laughter. The noise caught the attention of the police officer, who walked over and commanded, “Stop your ruckus, all of you! Where do you think you are?!” Ron waved his hand and asked his men to quieten down before saying, “Relax, officer.

Unlike three years ago, this time, he had time to figure something out. After a while, Louis suggested, “Why don’t you go home first? I can go to the hospital alone.” Leanna was exhausted, so she accepted his suggestion. He asked the driver to drop Leanna off at her house before directing him to Patheon Club. … When Leanna arrived home, Zoe asked at once, “What happened? Is Louis alright?” “He was injured a little, but he’s on his way to the hospital now.” “What on earth happened?” Leanna took a deep breath and said, “Jethro got himself into a pile of debt and ran off again.” Zoe cursed under her breath as soon as she heard that. In all her years, she had never met anyone as vile as Jethro who threw his children to the wolves time and time again. He was not fit to even be considered human, let alone a father. Sometimes, she truly wondered whether Leanna and Louis were just children that the man picked off the streets somewhere.

“Zoe, I don’t feel too good. I’m going to go to bed,” Leanna said. Zoe snapped out of her thoughts. “Yeah, go ahead.” Once Leanna returned to her room, she climbed into bed and stared at the ceiling as a feeling of helplessness washed all over her. Although she told Louis that she would find a way to lure Jethro out of hiding, deep down inside, she was completely at a loss. Even if she managed to lure him out this time, what about next time? Jethro’s greed was insatiable. There would never be an end to this. Plus, if they did manage to lure him out, would she be able to stand and watch as the loan sharks beat him half to death?
