I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 561

Chapter 561

At Pearson Group, Oscar pushed the office door open and walked in, saying, "Jonathan said that you're looking for me."

Aidan was seated behind his desk, looking through some files. He didn't even lift his head as he said, "Give me a minute."

So, Oscar plopped himself on the couch, closed his eyes, and decided to take a quick break. Unfortunately, Aidan wasn't the only one unable to catch any proper sleep recently.

About fifteen minutes later, Aidan took a seat across from him. "I remember you're from Jamesdon."

Oscar opened one eye and stared at him before saying lazily, "Yeah, I am. What's up?"

"What do you know about the Woodley Family?" Aidan inquired.

As Oscar wasn't expecting him to ask this, he blinked his eyes open before he hesitantly responded, "Why are you suddenly—"

"There's a high chance that this matter has something to do with Jamesdon."

"You mean why the child was brought back to the Pearson Family?" Oscar frowned. "That's unlikely. What would the Woodley Family even gain by doing this?"

"It doesn't matter whether they're the mastermind behind that incident. But, judging from the current situation, there's something fishy going around in Jamesdon."

A few seconds passed by silently before he finally answered, "What would you like to know?"

"Everything. Tell me everything."

"The Woodley Family has been living in Jamesdon for generations," he began slowly. "Over the years, their descendants ventured into business, politics, and the military until they gradually took over the entire Jamesdon and became unbeatable in terms of financial worth and influence. However, there's an unwritten rule within the family: they could never leave Jamesdon their whole lives. If they do, that's as good as cutting off all ties with the Woodley Family, and they're not allowed to return to Jamesdon ever again. Also, their life and death are unrelated to the Woodley Family once they do so. But the Woodley Family simply grew too big and developed far too many branch families over the years, watering down their bloodline. Eventually, nobody really bothered with that unwritten rule, and it was slowly forgotten with time. However, I heard that the direct descendants of the Woodley Family in Jamesdon are still strictly following this code."

Aidan merely stared at him steadily.

A confused Oscar questioned, "Hey, what are you looking at me like that for? I'm not even from that Woodley Family. My parents moved to Highside long ago, and I have no friends or relatives in Jamesdon. So, why would I even go there?"

Aidan tapped his fingers on his knees softly and said, "Go on."

"Where was I? Oh, that's right. The old master of the family has already passed away, and the one in charge now is his grandson, Lachlan Woodley. I've never met this person, but I've heard a few rumors about him over the years. Whatever it is, it's better not to be involved with him if you can avoid it."







































"That's it?"

Oscar shrugged in resignation as he said, "That's it. Honestly, although I've never met Lachlan, I'm pretty sure that this has nothing to do with the Woodley Family. Jamesdon and Highside are hundreds of miles apart. So, there's no reason for him to intentionally provoke you and cause himself unnecessary trouble."

Just then, Keaton strode in, reporting, "President Pearson, he confessed. Mrs. Pearson and the young master are in the backyard of Pearson Estate."

…

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Zoe was tense all over as she sat in the chair. She even shut her eyes due to fear as she held onto Leanna's hand tightly.

Next to them, the TV was broadcasting the news. "Today at midnight, a citizen discovered a body. According to investigations, the deceased, named Green, was estimated to have died between 3.00PM to 7.00PM yesterday. Further investigations are ongoing as we await more updates on the case. Next up, let's take a look at…"

Soon, a nurse called out, "Zoe Hart."

Zoe reflexively jerked to her feet as the nurse nodded toward her and beckoned, "Come on, let's do a checkup."

She inhaled sharply before she started walking forward, but Leanna held onto her hand. "Zoe…"

Zoe flashed her a grin and comforted her, saying, "It's going to be okay. It will be over in a blink of an eye. I'm sure I won't even feel the pain!"

Although Zoe looked so confident right then, Leanna still couldn't bring herself to return the smile. After her worried gaze couldn't catch a glimpse of Zoe's back, she immediately whisked out her phone to check the time.

Before they arrived, she sent a text informing Daniel that Zoe was in the hospital and asked him to consider it carefully. If he wanted to keep the baby, he should come over, but he could save the trip if he didn't want the baby.

From the looks of it now, it seemed like Zoe's instincts were right—he probably wouldn't be coming.

Leanna sighed wearily and was just about to put her phone aside when a news headline popped out.

It was that news regarding the murder, and she rubbed her temples, wondering why there were so many deranged people in this world.

Just a few minutes later, Zoe strolled out after her checkup. All her vitals were normal, and she was good to go.
