Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 146

Leanna opened the door and was about to head downstairs when the servant waiting outside stopped her in her tracks.

"Miss McKinney, there is currently an esteemed guest present here, so you're not allowed to head downstairs for now. I'll bring your breakfast to you later on," the servant mentioned.

As soon as Leanna heard that, she did not pursue the topic any further but merely nodded her head slightly. "Thanks."

She went back into her room and took a seat in front of the desk before opening her sketchbook. As soon as she flicked past the necklace she had designed for the charity event, her gaze paused momentarily.

Perhaps the necklace had met the same fate as the man in the picture; both had disappeared without a trace. Even if she tried everything she could to recover it, the outcome would be the same regardless.

Right now, her only concern was to leave this place as she did not care about anything else at all.

As for the discussion downstairs…

Although Gordon was significantly displeased with Aidan and Georgina's engagement, he could not find it in himself to resist such a huge temptation of the immense Crossley Group.

Georgina was the only daughter of Lloyd, so once she married Aidan, the Crossley Group would naturally be taken over by Pearson Group.

This was definitely much better than Barnett Group, who was not actually as well-off as they seemed.

However, Gordon did not expect that Georgina would still agree to the marriage despite the incident from the night before. Furthermore, she came in person to the mansion to discuss the details of the wedding.

Naturally, he was not going to look a gift horse in the mouth as this was a great opportunity.

Furthermore, even if Aidan married Georgina, Gordon had Aidan's child in his hands anyway. Though this marriage union was disadvantageous to Gordon, the benefits he reaped from it surpassed the loss.

Gordon added, "Since the wedding date has been set, all that's left are the arrangements for the venue and outfits. It's not something too difficult, so we'll be able to handle it to save Lloyd some heavy trouble."

Meanwhile, Lloyd grunted a few times, seeming to be purposely trying to go along with his words. "Gordon, you're quite right indeed, but Georgina's my only daughter and this is a very important occasion for her, so there are some matters that I should deal with personally."

Georgina sat by Lloyd's side. "Dad, don't worry. The Pearsons have been really kind to me so far, so you definitely won't be disappointed with the wedding."
