Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 373

When Leanna went back to the Crossley Residence, she found Georgina reading a magazine in the living room.

She wasted no time shooting a question at the servant. "Where's Mr. Crossley?"

The servant turned to her before casting another glance at Georgina, fumbling for words as they refused to answer.

Georgina didn't even raise her head when she flipped to the next page as she asked with a neutral tone, "What's your business with Dad?"

As Leanna was in a bad mood at the moment, she didn't bother to be friendly with the other woman. "It's between us. It has nothing to do with you."

Hearing those harsh words, Georgina paused for a moment as a frown formed between her brows. She looked at the other woman and scoffed. "I'm right about you. You're an uneducated woman."

"Miss Crossley, you can consider doing self-care when you're free. I'm not in the mood to play word games with you unless you don't mind if I spread the video about what happened in the club to others?"

As Leanna expected, Georgina's expression immediately darkened at her suggestion.

Seeing that, the servant hastily broke into their conversation to avoid further conflict. "You can find Mr. Crossley in the study room."

Wasting no more time bickering with Georgina, Leanna withdrew her gaze and headed for the study room.

Georgina got up from the couch and watched Leanna's receding figure before she tossed the magazine into the bin out of anger.

Lloyd was perusing the contracts in the study room when someone barged inside without warning.

He turned his head in that direction, his expression unfazed. "Aren't you supposed to be polite and knock on the door before coming in?"

Leanna sneered at his reaction before she began with a cold tone, "Mr. Crossley, you have no right to accuse me of not respecting your privacy after you went to see my brother without informing me."

Lloyd didn't seem surprised at all when her words reached him as he shut the files. "I went to see him because I want the best for you."

"I can't see how it is doing good for me."

daughter, so I won't doubt that for the moment. Since you possess her belongings, I won't initiate any investigation into them. However, if you're speaking the truth, your brother will no doubt tarnish the name of the Crossley Family. I merely reminded him of the truth, so he knows his place and stays away

However, you'll have to make a sacrifice for the better life you've chosen, which is leaving behind the people who will drag you down.
