Chapter 230

The snow that fell overnight covered the resort in a white mist. The good weather that appeared days ago seemed to be a distant memory now. Elijah was helping Leanna into the car. Before they left, she turned around and vaguely saw the villa in the mountains.

Elijah looked in the direction she was staring at, and he pursed his lips. "Time to go."

She looked away and nodded before getting in the car.

After they were gone, Jonathan knocked on Aidan's door. "Sir, Mr. Parker and the madam have left," he said.

Aidan grunted and got up. "Let's go."

Jonathan followed. "Sir, we've received news about the Zielinskies' plan. They're going to send Miss Anna overseas in about two days. Through the Crossleys, of course. Itinerary unknown."

Aidan sneered. "So there's the continuation of their little show."

"Sir, you're saying…"

"Sienna's strength lies in her family. Do you think she's going to go against them just for Anna?"

What happened back at the house was just a show for me. Anna managed to leave with the Crossleys helping her, and it's all thanks to Sienna.

Jonathan got what Aidan was saying. "I've told the men to keep an eye on Miss Anna the moment she leaves the Zielinski Residence."

After a short pause, Aidan asked, "What about Lloyd? Any news on him?"

"Mr. Crossley has been acting weird lately. He's looking into the case of… the madam's father."

Aidan stopped in his tracks and frowned. "Jethro?"

"Yes," Jonathan said. "And one more thing, sir. When I was investigating Lloyd, I found out that his underling paid a private investigator a big sum of money recently. The last client of this investigator was the madam's brother, who went to some magazine publishers to post a missing persons poster."
