Chapter 304

Georgina went straight to Daniel after leaving the venue and coldly demanded, "Did you know that Leanna would come here today?"

Daniel raised his eyebrows. "No, I didn't. Why?"

"I thought she would tell you since you guys are quite close."

"Stop right there." Daniel chuckled. "She and I are neighbors, and we would say hello and exchange pleasantries when we bumped into each other in the neighborhood, that's all. Nothing else... Wait a minute. Well, Elijah likes her, so we meet occasionally."

Daniel tilted his head as he pondered over it, then added, "Anyway, we are only a little closer than mere neighbors—acquaintances, at most. Why would she tell me such things?"

Georgina crossed her arms around her chest and heaved a deep breath without saying a word.

Daniel observed her expression quietly and asked indifferently, "I left earlier. I heard that Miss McKinney went to see Mr. Crossley, but I don't know the details. What happened?"

"Forget it." Georgina frowned and dismissed him. "I don't want to talk about it. Can you tell me the things you know?"

Daniel guffawed. "If you really want to know, of course, I can tell you."

"Cut to the chase."

Daniel leaned against the desk behind him as his finger tapped against the wooden counter. "It's nothing much, actually. It's almost similar to what your dad told you."

Georgina was already barely holding back her rage when it was decided that Leanna would move into her house. His words were akin to a straw breaking a camel's back as her temper flared, and she lashed out, "I don't want to hear the things I know! Tell me something I don't know!"

Daniel took out a photo and showed it to Georgina. "This man is Leroy Crossley. He is your dad's brother."

"So?"

"He was jealous of your father and coveted everything he owned. So, twenty years ago, he kidnapped you and your mother and planted a bomb."
