I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 450

After Leroy got into the car, he glumly yanked off his necktie. "Where is she?"

"Miss Crossley is already on the way," replied the driver in front.

Leroy turned to look behind. "Speed up," he instructed with a worried voice.

What happened that night was uncalled for. He had already planned to give Crossley Group to Leanna so that she would shoulder all the subsequent responsibilities. In fact, he even set fire to the Crossley Residence to support his cause, only for chaos to ensue unexpectedly.

Halfway through the drive, the driver glanced at the rearview mirror, and his tone became tense when he informed Leroy, "A few cars are tailing us, Mr. Crossley."

A frown immediately covered Leroy's face. They are quicker than I expected.

Not expecting them to catch up to him so soon, he coldly barked, "Go to the overpass."

"Are we not heading to the airport?"

"No." Leroy squinted and instructed, "To the helipad."

"What about Miss Georgina—"

Leroy immediately cut him off. "That's not our concern now."

Hearing that, the driver said no more and accelerated to the overpass. The cars behind Leroy must not have expected the sudden move, which resulted in them falling behind. However, they promptly sped up to tail Leroy’s ride.

Leroy couldn't help having a feeling of impending doom when he saw the pursuit.

It seems like they are determined to catch me tonight.

…

Georgina was sitting in the VIP lounge of the airport. As she waited, she took out her phone impatiently to check the time. The first thing she saw the second she turned on the screen was a news notification. She immediately clicked on it when she saw 'Crossley Group' in the title.

It turned out to be news that exposed everything that happened at the anniversary ceremony of the Crossley Group. It even pointed out at the end that the company's current chairperson might be Leroy, who died in the explosion 20 years ago, instead of Lloyd.

Georgina's eyes widened abruptly as she carefully read the news from beginning to end. However, she only found one brief mention of Lloyd's true identity, while the rest of the news were reports related to Crossley Group's projects.

She hurriedly gave Lloyd a call but couldn't get through.

In that instant, she felt a chill up her spine as the flowing blood in her body seemed to freeze. Subconsciously, she gripped her phone tightly and jumped to her feet.

Her subordinate was beside her when he saw this. "Miss Crossley? Is something the matter?"

"It's nothing." Georgina quickly came back to her senses and regained her composure. "I'll head to the washroom for a bit."

Her subordinate nodded in reply. "It's 20 minutes until boarding, Miss Crossley. Do come back soon."

Georgina only let out a small hum of acknowledgment before she left with her phone.

After walking a certain distance, she glanced at her subordinates waiting there behind her, and she spun and left the airport.

Now that such a significant incident had happened, and she couldn't reach her father's phone, things would definitely not turn out favorably if she left according to the original plan.

Sure enough, she had only left for two minutes before a group of people shuffled over and forcibly took both her and her luggage.

…

The crowd was still in shock after the emergency lights in the hotel came on. Leanna promptly slid out of Aidan's arms, and she found Cameron hiding in the corner. "Are you okay?" she asked, concerned.

After seeing her face, the child wiped off the hatred on his face and beamed at her. "We meet again, Pretty Leanny—"

He hadn't even finished his words when someone grabbed him by the collar, pulling him back and away from Leanna.

Aidan's lukewarm voice rang out from behind immediately after that. "Just 'Leanna' is fine. There's no need for adjectives."

Upset, Cameron struggled out of his hold and hid behind Leanna. "But she is pretty! Is it wrong to call her that?"

Aidan's eyes were squinted when his dark pupils fell on the arm holding Leanna's. "Get your butt over here," he warned.

"No!" As Cameron yelled, he lifted his chin to look at Leanna's face. "Save me, Leanna! This old fart here is such a brute! He punished me after he sent me home last time."

Aidan added, "You’ll be grounded if you don't get here right this instant."

Feeling an incoming headache from the two's argument, Leanna reached out to hold Aidan back. "Enough. You, stop talking. Don't you see that you're scaring him?"

With that said, she turned around and patted Cameron on the head. "It's okay, you…"

She was going to ask him why he was there, but she couldn't find the words to say through her parted lips when she recalled how the boy had pointed his finger at Leroy earlier.

Sensing her reluctance, Cameron picked up where she had left off and introduced himself. "My name is Cameron White, but you can call me Cameron just like everyone else does, Leanna."

Leanna smiled at him when she heard that. "Alright, Cameron." She then came to a slight pause before she asked, "Who did you come here with?"

As though unwilling to tell her, Cameron looked around and unknowingly let go of her to take a few steps back.

Leanna didn't probe when she saw his reaction. Instead, she looked at Aidan. "It's almost over, isn't it?" she asked.

"Mm."
