Chapter 255

"Answer my question first," Aidan said.

Leanna frowned and answered after a few seconds, "When Jethro died, I found something in the box under his bed."

"What's there?"

"Some pictures, a pocket watch, and his diary."

"What kind of pocket watch?"

"It's just a regular pocket watch," she said. "Does it make a difference?"

"Of course it does," Aidan said. "The manufacturer and the production batch are useful leads."

Hearing that, Leanna opened her mouth but no words came out.

He stared at her for a few seconds and pursed his lips. "Don't you want to look for him?"

After a while, she hung her head and said, "I just feel that it's meaningless."

"Leanna McKinney, it's not about whether it's meaningful or not, but the truth about what happened back then."

"What's the use of knowing the truth? I just want a peaceful life."

Ever since she could remember, this was her biggest wish.

In the past, the family was in chaos because of Jethro. Time to time, the debtors would appear at their door, shouting and cursing loudly from the outside, and all she could do was bolt the door shut and hold the pillow tight, not daring to make a sound.
