Love's Change of Heart

Aidan glanced at Leanna, who was sleeping soundly in his embrace, and then at his watch. "I still have

time."

Jonathan silently got out of the car and made the necessary preparations to delay the meeting later.

Still, Leanna woke up within a few minutes once the vehicle stopped moving. She tilted her stiff neck

and squinted her eyes at the scenery beyond the window. "When did we arrive? Why didn't you wake

me up?"

"It is exceptionally rare for you to be able to sleep by my side like this. You should cherish the moment."

Leanna rolled her eyes again. How can he be so pompous all the time?

She took her things and was about to get out of the car when Aidan pulled her back and caressed her

hair gently. "You know what awaits you when you move into the Crossleys' house, don't you?"

Leanna was silent for a moment before she affirmed resolutely, "I know."

That meant that she had tied her fate to that of the Crossley Family. She knew that by doing so, she

wouldn't be able to remain uninvolved when the Crossleys were to do something.

Furthermore, she had more or less revealed Lloyd for who he truly was before the masses today.

Anyone with a brain would find the whole situation circumspect. So, at this point in time, there was no

doubt that Lloyd utterly despised her existence. He might look gentlemanly and amiable, but who knew

what kind of traps he would set up in secret?

Georgina was another time-bomb.

But if she gave up now out of fear, the truth of what had actually gone down 20 years ago would be

concealed forever.

Although Mr. Jackson did not answer her question directly, she was almost certain that the current

Lloyd was actually Leroy, and the real Lloyd, who was also her biological father, had died in that

explosion.

In the past, she didn't want to explore the truth of the past because she didn't want to disrupt her

peaceful life, but Aidan was right. Her life had never been peaceful. She would never be able to find

peace if she continued to delude herself. Maybe if she lived a quiet life, she wouldn't have to find

herself entangled with hidden schemes and danger along the way, but she knew that deep down, she

would have regretted that decision until the day she died.

Now that she was finally inching closer to the truth. How could she possibly give up now?

Perhaps, the truth itself was not important. Instead, the most important agenda on the list was to

expose Lloyd's true colors.

After they remained in comfortable silence, Leanna finally conveyed, "I think... This is the path I have to

take."

Aidan pursed his lips and said, "Make sure your phone is on 24/7. Call me if anything happens."

Leanna nodded slightly. Then, something crossed her mind, and she confided, "I hope you can help me

with something."

"What is it?"

"Georgina mentioned my brother today and had sent someone to hurt Louis previously. I'm worried that

she will harm Louis again this time."

Aidan curled a strand of her hair around his finger and toyed with it leisurely. "Don't worry. Your brother

is much smarter than you."

Leanne pushed him away in frustration, but his finger got caught in her hair in the process, which

caused its untimely demise.

Aidan looked at a strand of hair around his finger and wisely said nothing.

"Get lost!" Leanna gritted her teeth in agitation, grabbed her things, and fiercely slammed the door.

Jonathan, who was standing outside the car, was spooked by her abrupt burst of rage. They were fine

just now. Why is she so mad now?

Jonathan waited for a while longer to avoid the awkward atmosphere before opening the car door and

getting inside. "M-Mr. Pearson, do we need to delay the meeting?"

Aidan's indifferent voice echoed from behind, "We have twenty minutes. Notify everyone to prepare for

the meeting."

"Okay."

When they exited the elevator in Pearson Group, an assistant rushed over and greeted him, "Mr.

Pearson."

"What is it?" Aidan strode forward and asked.

"O-Old Mr. Pearson is waiting for you in your office. He said that he wants to see you as soon as you

enter the office."

Aidan walked straight to the conference room. "I'm busy. Tell him to wait."

The agitated assistant looked at Jonathan with a pleading gaze. Jonathan leaned over and instructed,

"Tell Old Mr. Pearson that Mr. Pearson has a very important meeting now and will go to see him when

the meeting is over."

The assistant nodded and left while Jonathan walked into the conference room with a stack of files in

his hands.

Gordon, who was in the president's office, frowned grumpily when he heard the message from the

assistant. But, then, he suppressed his irritation, waved the assistant off, and dismissed him.

He had expected Aidan to do such a thing since he was beyond his control now.

Gordon rubbed the head of his cane and asked solemnly, "What are your findings?"

"The Crossleys avoided talking about this matter, but according to the latest news from the venue, Mr.

Jackson was also present. So it looks like it is most likely true."

Gordon snorted derisively, "Hah! That Leanna has quite some tricks up her sleeve, and she's now

targeting the Crossleys. From the looks of it, she's quite greedy. No wonder she didn't want anything

when they got divorced. The Crossleys are her next target."

"Should we continue the investigation?"

"Of course! Find out what Leanna has on Lloyd. This time, I will destroy the Crossley Family and their

company!" Then, a sudden idea flashed in his mind. So, he leaned over to whisper something to his

subordinate and ask them to investigate that matter as well.
