Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 343

Chapter 343

At the Crossley Residence, Leanna was about to make her way upstairs when Georgina called her.

Leanna turned around and asked, "What do you want?"

"I just thought I'd remind you that Aidan is breathing down our necks right now. If you're going to insist that you're one of the Crossleys, then I suggest you stay away from him for your own good."

Leanna sputtered at this. "New tactic, Miss Crossley?"

Georgina snorted. "You can take my advice or leave it, but Dad will be very unhappy if you choose the latter."

"I think you've mistaken something, Miss Crossley," Leanna said as she stopped in the middle section of the staircase. She elaborated steadily, "I'm only here at the Crossley Residence to take back what's rightfully mine, and it's nobody's business whom I decide to be with."

"As long as you live here in our house, you'll have to play by our rules. I told you as much when you first came here. Guess you thought I was joking," Georgina bit out.

"Were you the one who made the rules?" Leanna demanded. "Where do you think I stand in the Crossley Family, then?"

A dark look passed over Georgina's face when she heard this. Is she saying that I'm in no position to make up the family rules?

Without missing a beat, Leanna added, "I'd rather we didn't speak if we can't stand each other, Miss Crossley. There is no need for you to feign concern for me. At least that would make putting up with each other a lot easier, don't you think?"

Another snort escaped Georgina as she taunted, "Let's hope you bring that same confidence with you during the competition."
