I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 548

As soon as Leanna went downstairs the next morning, she heard the doorbell ringing. She thought that Aidan was back, so she scurried over to open the door. However, she only found Aidan's subordinate standing outside. The subordinate pushed the suitcase toward her. "President Pearson told me to send this to you, Miss McKinney."

Leanna took the suitcase and thanked him.

"You're welcome."

After the subordinate left, Leanna brought the suitcase upstairs and realized that it contained all the household items and clothes she used regularly. She couldn't help but smile. That man is quite thoughtful sometimes. Then, she took the items out of the suitcase, washed up, got changed, and left the house.

Not long after she arrived at the Crossley Group, Raymond entered the office and asked, "Are you feeling better, Miss McKinney? Do you need to take two more days off?"

Leanna hadn't gone to the company for the past few days, and Freddie only told them that she was ill. She replied with a faint smile, "Thanks for your concern. I'm fine."

Raymond then put down a document on her table. "You've come at the right time, Miss McKinney. Here's the financial report for this month."

Leanna flipped through several pages and decided that she would take a proper look later. She then asked, "Did anything happen in the company over the past few days?"

"Mr. Ollander…"

Seeing how hesitant Raymond was, Leanna said, "Just tell me right away. What's wrong with him again?"

Raymond explained, "Mr. Ollander is thought to have been involved in a murder case that happened in the past. He's been making a scene for the past few days. Don't worry, Miss McKinney. The police are looking into the matter, and it's said to be a personal grudge, so it won't affect the Crossley Group in any way."

Leanna replied, "I got it. Tell Richard to come in."

Raymond asked hesitantly, "Richard?"

Leanna looked up at him. "What's wrong?"

Raymond shook his head and smiled. "Nothing. I'll inform him now."

"Okay."

Upon reaching the door, Raymond turned to look at Leanna and squinted his eyes. She had been assigning the most important tasks to Richard recently, so it was apparent that she had been avoiding Raymond.

All the same, Raymond knew that the tasks given to Richard were mostly about dealing with Jimmy. It would be best that he didn't take part in any of those so that he wouldn't invite trouble for himself. After all, he had been making use of them to deal with Jimmy. Once Jimmy was destroyed, no one else could threaten Raymond, and he'd be able to leave this place as soon as possible.

Not long after Raymond left, Richard arrived at Leanna's office. With Jonathan's help, they acquired some evidence regarding Jimmy's corruption cases. However, it wasn't enough to make sure Jimmy could never get back on his feet.

Richard spoke up. "Miss McKinney, due to the murder case, Mr. Ollander has been scrambling to transfer his assets somewhere else. As such, he has exposed many of his wrongdoings. We just have to keep looking into the matter. I'm sure we'll acquire even more evidence."

Leanna nodded. "Just do as you say. Get a few people to keep an eye on Jessamine and make sure Jimmy won't be able to approach her."

"Yes, I got it."

Leanna was drafting a design later that afternoon when the door was kicked open suddenly. Jimmy barged in and barked, "You're finally back at work. I'll settle the score with you today!"

An unperturbed Leanna looked up at him. At the same time, Raymond and the other managers were trying to stop Jimmy from approaching Leanna. "Calm down, Mr. Ollander! We can talk things out!"

It was obvious that Jimmy was incensed. "Are you telling me to calm down when I've been accused of killing someone? If I do nothing to protect myself, I'll go to jail in no time!"

Jimmy pushed them away and adjusted his sleeves. Standing in front of Leanna, he landed his palm on the table forcefully and pointed at her. "Are you the one who accused me of the murder? It must be you!"

Leanna leaned against the chair and refuted, "That's interesting, Mr. Ollander. I wasn't at work for a few days. How was I supposed to accuse you of anything?"

"Stop using it as an excuse! Just because you didn't come to work, it doesn't mean you couldn't do that. You only suffered a concussion from the car accident. It's not like your brain was damaged or something."

A surprised Leanna stared fixedly at him. "How did you know I was involved in a car accident, Mr. Ollander?"

The moment she finished speaking, everyone in the office fell silent. The managers appeared doubtful as one of them whispered, "Wasn't Miss McKinney absent because she was ill? How did it become a car accident?"

Jimmy realized he had blurted out a secret, so he coughed and adjusted his tie. He was no longer as arrogant as earlier. He said, "Well, someone told me that."
