I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 448

Chapter 448

Lloyd's expression did not change much when he heard her question, and he explained unhurriedly, "Since you have already asked about this, let me tell you one thing—Georgina was adopted by me. I was unconscious in the hospital for three months and by the time I woke up, all my loved ones were gone in that explosion. I searched all over the city's orphanages but there was no trace of you. I thought you and your mother were no longer in this world. That was when I met Georgina. She was about the same age as you and she was abandoned by her parents for some reason. I adopted her out of pity. Not long after I brought her home, she fell seriously ill and she forgot everything when she woke up. For so many years, I have always treated Georgina as my own daughter and because I didn't want her to know about it, I never mentioned it to anyone. As for you showing up with Sandra's belongings, I insisted that Georgina is my daughter because I didn't believe you and I didn't want to make her sad. But now that your adoptive father has already confirmed the truth of your birth, I have no reason to not believe it any longer."

The audience was dumbstruck when they heard his answer. They could do nothing but look forward to whether there would be more reversals.

After Lloyd finished speaking, he looked at Leanna. "Any other questions?"

She calmly commented, "You must have investigated the kind of person Jethro is, Mr. Crossley."

Lloyd only squinted and said nothing.

"He is a liar and gambling addict who is chased by loan sharks every day and yet, you believe his words, Mr. Crossley? Aren't you afraid that he is joining hands with me to get the Crossley Group?"

After a while, Lloyd let out a small sigh. "Leanna, I know you still hold a grudge against me. I can't make you change your mind no matter what I say, and I won't ask you to forgive me. I just want you to live well."

"Don't say that, Mr. Crossley," Leanna murmured. "I have something I believe will be of interest to you."

She then raised the brown paper bag in her hand and smiled. "There is a paternity test result inside. Would you like to see it, Mr. Crossley?"

Not knowing what she was up to, Lloyd began, "Leanna, let's talk somewhere else."

Right then, a mature but powerful voice came from the crowd. "A paternity test result, eh? I want to see it."

After the words were uttered, Mr. Jackson walked to Leanna's side with his cane and took the brown paper bag from her. After he looked at it a few times, he frowningly handed it to Lloyd. "Explain this," he demanded.

Despite the gloom on Lloyd's face, he stayed calm as he took it from Mr. Jackson.

This was the paternity test between him and Georgina from twenty years ago.

It was a copy from his house.

"I don't know what's going on," he responded calmly. "I've never done this before."

Hearing that, Mr. Jackson asked again, "You mean this is a fake report?"

"That's the only possibility."

Leanna slowly raised her hand before she unclenched her balled-up fists. A metal chain was dangling there in an instant. "What about this, Mr. Crossley? I bet you would like to say you don't know what this is about as well."

A half-burned pocket watch appeared in everyone's sight.

Lloyd's expression immediately fell. He parted his mouth to say something, but he eventually held back.

Mr. Jackson frowned when he saw the pocket watch. "Show it to me, child."

Leanna retracted her hand and passed it to him then.

As Mr. Jackson fiddled with it, his frown continued to deepen. "Did you bring your mother's piece?" he asked Leanna.

"I did." She opened the purse she was holding to take the other pocket watch to give to Mr. Jackson.

Mr. Jackson held one pocket watch in each hand to compare them. After a while, he concluded, "These are definitely the two that Lloyd had commissioned. Even though one of them is badly damaged from the fire, there are still traces left."

After hearing Mr. Jackson's confirmation, Leanna looked at Lloyd again. "How will you explain this, Mr. Crossley? The pocket watch and paternity test were found in the safe in your room. Are you trying to say that these are not yours?"

Even if Lloyd could deny that the paternity test was not his, he couldn't say the same about the pocket watch.

The moment he denied the pocket watch, he would prove that he wasn't the real Lloyd Crossley.

However, he managed to keep his emotions at bay as he answered easily, "You have all seen how badly damaged the pocket watch is. It was lost in the explosion twenty years ago. I don't know where the one you have is from. As for the safe, I don’t know what’s going on. I’ve never had a safe in my room.”

"We'll know if you have a safe or not just by sending someone over to check," Leanna insisted.

As soon as her words fell, Lloyd's subordinate hurried over and reported nervously, "Something has happened, Mr. Crossley. We received word from the estate that… that..."

Impatient, Lloyd barked, "Spill! Don't drag it out!"
