Chapter 297

In the room, Leanna took out her pocket watch from the box again as well as the purchase information from her bag to check the model again.

After checking a few times, she finally saw a slight difference.

This pocket watch was more than twenty years old, and it had been with Jethro previously, so the abrasion was quite serious. There were scratches in many places, and there was actually an alphabet carved under a scratch that she overlooked.

She could roughly tell that it was the letter 'M', so it had nothing to do with Lloyd's name.

Then, she checked the purchase records from top to bottom again and found out that there was a little asterisk next to Lloyd's purchase record.

After some thought, Leanna called the person-in-charge.

When the call was picked up, she said, "Hello, Mr. Muston. I'm Leanna. Sorry for disturbing you at this time, but I have something that I need to ask you."

"What is it?"

"I've gone through the purchase records just now and saw that there's an asterisk on one of the records, but the others don't have it. What is the asterisk for?"

"Oh, that. It should be our special customer. The pocket watches can be customized for special customers, but I remember they are quite rare."

When Leanna heard that, she held her breath and asked carefully, "And who were your special customers?"

"They're normally the higher-ups of the factory, or… Oh right, I remember that Mr. Crossley has customized two pocket watches before too."

"Who's Mr. Crossley?" she continued to ask.

"The land of the factory area belongs to Mr. Crossley, and he invested in the factory as well." The elder continued as he recalled his memory, "Yes, yes. Mr. Crossley has definitely customized two pocket watches. I was responsible for serving him at that time. He said that this pocket watch was a marriage present for his wife… One of them had his name carved on it, and the other one was his wife's name."


Hearing that, Leanna already got the answer. So, she said, "I got it. Thank you, Mr. Muston."

After she hung up the phone, she stared at the pocket watch silently.

Some time later, a knock came from the door, and it was pushed open. Zoe stuck her head inside and asked, "Nana, are you still busy? The dishes are turning cold. Do you want to eat first?"

Leanna cast her thoughts aside and put down the pocket watch before smiling. "Okay."

When they were eating, Zoe noticed that Leanna was absent-minded, so she thought that she was worrying about the purchase information. Zoe comforted her, saying, "Nana, don't overthink it. So many people bought that pocket watch, so it might not be… There are contact numbers in the purchase records, right? We can try calling them one by one tomorrow. If it's not picked up, we can…"

"It's okay, Zoe. Let's just hold it first. We can talk about it later," Leanna said.

Hearing that, Zoe nodded and didn't continue this topic anymore. She took out her phone and said, "I found a few houses that are quite nice. Two of them are just in front of our neighborhood. We can go there and look around on the weekend."

After a moment of silence, Leanna said, "Zoe, I won't be able to view the houses with you. I need to go somewhere."

A cheeky smile appeared on Zoe's face. "Are you moving in with President Pearson?"

Leanna shook her head with a smile. "I'll tell you some time later." She didn't know how to tell her now since everything was just her assumptions. No matter what, she needed to look for evidence first.

"Okay, but you need to tell me if anything happens, okay? Don't just keep it to yourself," Zoe said.

"Okay."

After dinner, Zoe returned to her room and went to bed.

Meanwhile, Leanna sat in the living room and thought about it for a moment. In the end, she got up and knocked on the next door.

When Daniel saw her, he didn't seem surprised. He just said calmly, "Come in."

Leanna followed behind him and entered his house.

"What would you like to drink, Miss McKinney?" Daniel pulled the refrigerator door open.

"Just warm water. Thank you."

He raised his brows and poured a cup of warm water for her.

After he sat down, he asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you're here for Georgina's matter, right?"

With the cup of water in her hand, she answered, "Yes and no."

"Huh?" Daniel was confused.

Leanna continued, "I want to go to the Crossley Residence to look for something. No matter what, Georgina will be dragged into this."

"What do you want to look for?"
