Chapter 449

"I don't know what you are talking about." Lloyd frowned. "The Crossley Group is doing just fine. There's no so-called debt or anything. I handed the Crossley Group to her because she is my daughter and she should be the company's successor."

At this time, Aidan emerged out of nowhere and mentioned in a cold tone, "Why do I not see Miss Crossley tonight? There should be no reason for her not to participate in such a big event."

Lloyd stood with his hands behind his back as he commented, "Georgina is not feeling well. She is resting in her room upstairs."

"Is that so? Please send someone to bring her here. I have something I would like to ask her."

Lloyd swiftly peered at Aidan from the corner of his eye. "I said she is not feeling well."

"Is she really unwell or is she absent because she can't accept the fact that she only stood in as the daughter of the Crossleys by robbing something that is rightfully someone else's?"

"I was the one who adopted Georgina. She hasn't got a clue about any of this. I admit that I owe Leanna a lot, but I have already given her the company. Please don't be too harsh, President Pearson."

"Do I have to tell you again what sh*tty state the Crossley Group is in now?"

Just as Lloyd was about to speak, a video suddenly played on the screen on the stage.

The video showcased all the information on the accident that happened to the Crossley Group a few months ago.

Most of the guests who were in attendance were people extremely sensitive to finances and numbers. They already noticed the problem after reading only a few pages.

The numbers of this project were wrong and caused such a large difference, especially when a large amount of project funding had disappeared.

Moreover, for such a large project to still be running as usual without the support of huge funds showed how inferior the materials used were.


In the photos that appeared consecutively, there were many material details and financial transactions, all of which were signed by Lloyd.

It turned out that nothing was as Lloyd said. The problem was with several high-level executives—all the details of this project were handled by Lloyd.

At the same time, a reporter had snuck into the crowd at some point, and there was a burst of snapping camera lights at the screen on the stage.

Many guests even wondered who took photo evidence of something so confidential.

"These were taken by my father. He used to work as the Crossley Group's project manager. After he discovered all this, he found a chance to take pictures of the evidence. Unfortunately, he was killed by Lloyd before he managed to make it public. The Crossley Group announced to the outside world that my father died from an accident during a project when Lloyd was the one who killed my father!"

A child's voice suddenly rang out in the banquet hall.

Upon hearing that, Leanna looked over and saw a young child filled with vengeance pointing at Lloyd. It was the child that Zoe met online!

Lloyd's eyes shifted in William's direction then. By now, the malice in his eyes was no longer concealed. "I knew it was you."

"It's only because I have business with the Crossley Group that I have to protect my interests," William murmured with a smile. "I had an investigation done and I was surprised to find out that the Crossley Group has such a big hole that is leaking. I couldn't not worry about this whole situation, so I came here to ask you about it, Mr. Crossley."

"Who the hell are you?!"

"Me? I'm just an honest businessman."

Lloyd snorted when he heard that. "Now that things have come to this, you don't have to put on an act any longer. You are all working together, aren't you? I should have seen through this earlier."

Mr. Jackson walked over with his cane, his face solemn. "You’re the one who doesn’t have to put on an act anymore. Leroy Crossley, how much longer are you going to keep acting dumb?"

As soon as these words came out, the initially quiet banquet hall became restless.

"I didn't hear that wrong, did I? Leroy Crossley? Didn't he kill himself in the explosion twenty years ago?"

"Exactly! He has been dead for too long to come back to life suddenly. What is Mr. Jackson talking about?"

"Ah... I suddenly remembered that Leroy Crossley and Lloyd Crossley are identical twins. So, the one standing in front of us is actually Leroy Crossley, not Lloyd Crossley?"

"What the hell… I'm getting goosebumps."

Facing everyone's unhidden discussions, Lloyd stayed calm as he said indifferently, "Mr. Jackson, I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Don't understand? I think you understand very well!" Mr. Jackson hissed. "The paternity test report just now was on you and Georgina. You realized you couldn't pretend to be Lloyd by yourself after the explosion that year because you had too many flaws. That was why you tirelessly looked for your illegitimate daughter outside. Since she happened to be the same age as Leanna, you made her replace Leanna!"

"As I said, I adopted Georgina. What illegitimate daughter are you talking about? That's absurd!"
