I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 276

Chapter 276

Meanwhile, Lloyd was reading the newspaper in Crossley Residence. The usual tranquil countenance was slowly tinged by displeasure.

Next to him stood his subordinate. "Mr. Crossley, the family of the injured staff were escorted by someone else when we arrived there. They have the project documents left by the staff. If someone finds out about the problem of the datas in the documents, we'll lose billions of dollars."

The revealed content was a drop in the ocean because the actual thing that posed a threat to the Crossley Group was this document.

Lloyd put down the newspaper. "Who are those people? Have you looked into it?"

"Not yet, but I guess that it's related to the person who has done all these lately."

Lloyd sniggered. "If so, there isn't only one party we're facing."

"Do you mean that there's other people involved in this?"

"Aidan ain't a good person. I'm pretty sure he played his part in this." He laid out his thoughts. "It's caused a big ruckus and we must respond immediately. Find a few managers who handle this project. Investigate and fire them accordingly.

"As for the documents, they must be in their hands. Since they didn't choose to reveal it, they must be up to something. We can leave it for now."

After his subordinate left, Lloyd pulled open the drawer of his desk and stared at the old pocket watch with a murderous glint.

It seemed like his hunch was right—all disasters ensued upon Leanna's appearance.

At that moment, a knock resounded on the door and Georgina's voice could be heard. "Dad?"

He put down the pocket watch as he wore his usual expression. "Anything, Gina?"

Georgina frowned. "Is there anything I can help to make the situation better?"

Lloyd replied indifferently, "Don't worry about that. All you have to do is to wait for your engagement at the end of the month."

"Daniel said that he can ask for help from Mr. Jackson if you can't deal with it. Everyone holds Mr. Jackson with high regards in Highside. As long as he helps us, others will help us too. Dad—"

"No. I've been through so many hurdles and come this far for the past twenty years. It's not a big deal for me."

"But—"

Lloyd interrupted her, "Gina, I know what you're thinking about, but we gotta be alert when it comes to crucial times. Once we let our guard down, we might fall for their traps at any time. Got it?"

Georgina added, "I know, but you should know the situation better. Everyone is avoiding us. I reckon the Pearson Family is reconsidering the engagement too."

As soon as she finished her words, Lloyd's phone rang; it was a call from Gordon. He answered the phone and his expression darkened after Gordon said something.

The Pearson Family had been planning on retrieving their power from Aidan by leveraging the Crossley Family's support. However, the Crossleys could barely fend for themselves either. Even if they resolved this issue, recovering their position was almost impossible.

Thus, the wisest alternative was to cut ties with the Crossley Family. Aidan's attack on the Zielinski Family had not stopped. In addition to the Crossley Family's problem, if he managed to convince the Pearson Family to his side, it would be a total loss for the Crossley Family.

After Lloyd terminated the call, Georgina smiled. "Didn't I tell you, Dad?"

He narrowed his eyes without uttering a word.

Without any relationship involved, there was only business between the Crossleys and Pearsons. The fact that the Pearson Family decided to back down was not surprising in the slightest.

She continued, "But we can see how the Pearson Family is afraid of Aidan. I bet he spent a lot of his attention on someone."

Lloyd took a glance at her, knowing what she meant by that. Indeed, a lot of men were protecting Leanna under Aidan's behest and it was obvious how important she was to him.

A couple of moments later, Lloyd said, "Gina, could you leave me for a sec? I have something else to do."

When he was finally alone, he dialed a contact number. "I need your help."

…

The Crossley Family had a lot on their plate. With Carlile's early announcement into the bargain, the studio's issue was finally resolved. Still, the netizens, who gushed about it so fiercely online, did not apologize… not even one did.

Zoe was eating grapes while exclaiming, "This is how people are nowadays. They don't think before saying anything on the Internet. They don't care about the truth. All they want is to have a target to vent their anger."

Leanna smiled upon hearing that. "You gotta sleep now. You have work tomorrow."

Zoe stretched her body. "Time sure flies. I don't think it's enough."

"Let's go for a trip when the weather is warmer."
