Love's Change of Heart

Although the situation was challenging, it was fortunate that these circumstances were still within her

expectations. Regardless, it would be weirder if Georgina did not try to make the situation difficult for

her.

So, she left her suitcases outside the room, removed her jacket, and began to move the bits and bobs

out of her new bedroom.

While she was moving those items, she deliberately passed through the living room and exerted a light

force to cause a cloud of dust to fly above the dining table.

Georgina's expression turned ugly. She was just about to speak when Lloyd stopped her. He wanted to

see how long Leanna would persist.

Leanna had only just finished two trips when a servant rushed into the room and whispered something

in Lloyd's ear. His expression changed slightly as a result. Then, he walked over to Leanna. "Miss

McKinney, Gina was merely joking with you earlier. Your room is upstairs. I'll guide you there."

Leanna could tell that there was a definite reason for his sudden change in attitude.

At this moment, the rumble of a car engine seemed to come from not far away.

Did somebody come to visit?

Needless to say, she would never create a rift with him at such a time. She smiled slightly. "Great."

Before they headed upstairs, he shot a look at the servant standing behind them and motioned for the

servant to dispose of those miscellaneous items.

She followed him upstairs, and a servant immediately brought along her suitcase behind them.

He opened the door and said, "You will live here from now onward. Are you alright with this?"

Compared to the storeroom downstairs, this room was practically heaven.

She smiled. "Of course, it's not a problem. It's my first time living in such a spacious room by myself. It

looks like Miss Crossley was really playing a joke on me."

He added, "I'll leave you to unpack your stuff. I'll be heading downstairs first."

"Thank you, Mr. Crossley."

Once Lloyd left the room, Leanna closed the door behind him. The smile on her face slowly

disappeared. It would seem that the father-and-daughter pair were planning to intimidate her into

submission, but a visitor unexpectedly disrupted their plans.

At this moment, a slight commotion came from outside the window. Walking over to the window, she

stuck her head out to take a look and saw Mr. Jackson climbing out of the car with a walking cane in his

hand.

No wonder.

Since she was covered in dust, she had planned to shower. However, she suddenly stopped in her

tracks as soon as she walked through the bathroom door.

It's one thing to keep the peace with Lloyd, but I can't just let what happened today slide so easily.

Mr. Jackson sat in the living room downstairs and glanced around his surroundings. Then, he reached

out his hand and waved at the air in front of him with a frown on his face. "Why is there so much dust

around?"

A servant glanced at Lloyd and immediately stepped forward to explain. "I was cleaning out some

miscellaneous items just now, so…"

He couldn't care less about such matters and simply asked, "What about that girl? Has she arrived?"

Lloyd poured him a cup of tea. "Yes. She is currently unpacking her luggage upstairs."

He nodded lightly at Lloyd's words and glanced at Georgina, who was standing not far away. Then, he

commented nonchalantly, "Since we have yet to learn the exact identity of Sandra's actual daughter,

you shouldn't favor one party too much. I understand that you raised Gina yourself, but if that girl turns

out to be… your biological daughter, then you owe her too much."

Lloyd smiled. "You're right. I will keep those words in mind."

Georgina scowled and protested, "Mr. Jackson, why do you always assume that Leanna is Dad's

biological daughter? Which part of her resembles him? The reason she entered the Crossley Family

could not be more obvious. It's all for the sake of money!"

"It's normal to act for the sake of money. But, in order to live in this world, don't you need money to

support yourself?" Mr. Jackson continued, "Just like your father's business and all the projects under

the Crossley Group, which one is not for earning more money? Did you think we were doing charity?"

"But, how could you…"

Lloyd interrupted her, "That's enough, Gina. Didn't you have an appointment with your friends today?

It's about time for you to leave. You shouldn't keep them waiting too long."

Georgina pursed her lips and went upstairs to change her clothes.

Mr. Jackson earnestly continued, "I know you poured all your energy into the Crossley Group and

taking care of Gina after Sandra's death. But you only have one daughter. It's normal for you to feel bad

for her and try to make up for what she lacked. However, now that such a conundrum has appeared…

You might have your beliefs, but she has Sandra's inheritance as evidence. You have no choice but to

follow God's will. It might be the workings of fate, but someone will eventually reveal the truth behind

this matter."

Lloyd knew that the last few sentences Mr. Jackson uttered had a deeper meaning behind them.

Nevertheless, he maintained a smile on his face. "Don't worry. If Miss McKinney turns out to be the

daughter born between Sandra and me, I will do my best to compensate for all the hurt and grievances

she suffered up until now."
