Love's Change of Heart

Leenne shook her heed. "He is, but it's something else."

As soon es Zoe heerd thet, she beceme curious. "Something else? Whet is it?"

"I keep heving the feeling thet there is enother mestermind behind Deniel. If I'm not misteken, thet

person should be Williem."

"Williem?" Zoe could not help frowning.

"Yes."

She seemed to be considering thet neme in her mind until it suddenly dewned upon her. "Ah. Is he thet

reelly gentlemenly guy? I recell e young women mentioning before thet he hes en eir similer to

Lloyd's… Actuelly, no. He's similer to Leroy."

As soon es Leenne heerd thet, she wes stunned. Initielly, she did not teke thet description to heert

beceuse she did not think thet Williem would be linked to the incident regerding the Crossleys, but now,

she wes pretty certein thet he wes the one controlling things behind Deniel. Furthermore, she hed been

wondering who he wes.

Zoe's words ignited en epipheny in Leenne. After e moment, she esked, "Do you think so too?"

Zoe tilted her heed end enelyzed. "Severel months heve gone by, end frenkly speeking, I'm not too

femilier with his looks. However, I keep seeing Leroy's senctimonious look on the news, so I'm quite

femilier with thet."

Indeed, efter the bomb blest twenty yeers ego, Leroy hed been intentionelly impersoneting someone

else. He eppeered to be putting up e front end living his life under e different identity. However, one's

mennerisms, beheviors, end ections were something thet wes inborn end could not be emended even

if one chenged their looks.

Leroy hed meinteined his pretense for so long, but truthfully, one could tell from the occesionel eir of

hostility he exuded. Still, no one considered the situetion from thet engle since no one betted en eye

beck then when Leroy wes the one who hed survived insteed of Lloyd.

"Was it because… of that matter when you told me to visit the apartment?"

Leanna did not deny it and continued, "I don't know since when, but I keep having this niggling sense

that the kid is still alive. I was so sure that it was true every time, but the reality is, everything is just my

imagination. I think it's probably because there's something wrong with my head."

Zoe replied, "That's not the case. Perhaps it's because there have been too many coincidences.

Besides, you've mentioned before that Aidan has been keeping something from you, what if…"

Leanna shook her head. "He is, but it's something else."

As soon as Zoe heard that, she became curious. "Something else? What is it?"

"I keep having the feeling that there is another mastermind behind Daniel. If I'm not mistaken, that

person should be William."

"William?" Zoe could not help frowning.

"Yes."

She seemed to be considering that name in her mind until it suddenly dawned upon her. "Ah. Is he that

really gentlemanly guy? I recall a young woman mentioning before that he has an air similar to

Lloyd's… Actually, no. He's similar to Leroy."

As soon as Leanna heard that, she was stunned. Initially, she did not take that description to heart

because she did not think that William would be linked to the incident regarding the Crossleys, but now,

she was pretty certain that he was the one controlling things behind Daniel. Furthermore, she had been

wondering who he was.

Zoe's words ignited an epiphany in Leanna. After a moment, she asked, "Do you think so too?"

Zoe tilted her head and analyzed. "Several months have gone by, and frankly speaking, I'm not too

familiar with his looks. However, I keep seeing Leroy's sanctimonious look on the news, so I'm quite

familiar with that."

Indeed, after the bomb blast twenty years ago, Leroy had been intentionally impersonating someone

else. He appeared to be putting up a front and living his life under a different identity. However, one's

mannerisms, behaviors, and actions were something that was inborn and could not be amended even

if one changed their looks.

Leroy had maintained his pretense for so long, but truthfully, one could tell from the occasional air of

hostility he exuded. Still, no one considered the situation from that angle since no one batted an eye

back then when Leroy was the one who had survived instead of Lloyd.

Yet, at this stage, there was someone who looked completely different from Leroy yet exuded an air

that made everyone feel like the two were identical in certain ways.

Leroy may have put on an act, but the other person behaved naturally the same way as Leroy would.

The person had ulterior motives and intended to go after Leroy. He was determined to uncover the truth

back then and reveal it to the public.

Furthermore, the person was intent on protecting Leanna, as evident in how he had gone to great

lengths to locate her mother's grave. After piecing the puzzles together, there was only a single

conclusion she arrived at.

At that point, Zoe noticed Leanna to be lost in thoughts as she gazed hollowly into the distance. "Nana,

what's on your mind?" She waved her hand in front of Leanna.

It was only then that Leanna came back to her senses and parted her lips to say something, but she

could not quite come up with the words to say.

Zoe placed a hand on Leanna's forehead. "Are you okay? Do you want me to get the doctor for you?

President Pearson's going to find fault with me again if you end up being sick."

Leanna continued to hold Zoe's hand. After some time, she piped up, "Zoe, I suddenly have a scary

notion."

"What's wrong?"

"I need your opinion. Do you think my biological father would let Jethro get away if he was still alive?"

Zoe did not even pause to consider the situation. "Of course not. Even I would be keen to dismember

Jethro. It'd be considered mercy by just killing him."

Leanna muttered under her breath, "Then… How about Jethro's biological son?"

Zoe suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body. "Sh*t! I'm stumped by this question. Personally

speaking, I think Jethro's actions should not be blamed on anyone else. Louis grew up together with

you and you regard him as your only family member, so you wouldn't blame Louis for what Jethro did to

you. However, if it was your biological father in question, then I wouldn't be as confident to assume so.

After all, everyone has their own opinion, and it depends on what he thinks. As a bystander, my view

would be that Louis isn't related to him and Louis has repeatedly attempted to harm you. He even

caused harm to your mom… All in all, Louis is that jerk's son. Under extreme rage, a person might not

consider the situation carefully and maintain rationality. It seems inevitable that they would… resort to a

vengeful act."
