Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 424

Chapter 424

All along, Leanna thought that Crossley Group wasn't heavily affected and didn't fare much worse than they did in the past, but after hearing what Aidan said, it dawned on her that Crossley Group was in much deeper waters than she assumed.

Crossley Group was nothing more than an empty shell now.

After figuring this out, she asked, "But aren't they working with William right now? It's a pretty large-scale project. Can Lloyd just leave the country like that?"

"To Lloyd, it was never just a project. It's his last smokescreen," Aidan explained.

"What do you mean?" Leanna asked.

"As long as the project carries on as usual, no one will suspect that Crossley Group is about to go under. Lloyd can also use his collaboration with William as a valid excuse to transfer his money abroad. Once his plan is complete, he can leave straight away. He doesn't care about what happens to the project."

Leanna frowned. "Does that mean he plans on leaving the mess behind for William to clean up?"

"More or less."

"Then…"

Aidan could deduce what she was thinking about and calmly assured her. "Don't worry. William has plans of his own."

Leanna pursed her lips and nodded.

She was so focused on digesting all this information that she didn't notice Aidan's hands undoing her top and reaching beneath it.

"By the way, I always thought that—"

Leanna stopped midway through her sentence as she finally noticed what Aidan was doing. She looked down and glared at him after catching his gaze.

Aidan bit down on her neck as he asked hoarsely, "Do you have more to say?"

Before Leanna could even open her mouth to respond, a pair of lips crashed against hers.

The kiss lasted for ages. Once the two separated, Aidan kissed her forehead and said, "Everything can wait till tomorrow. I'm not going anywhere."

Leanna had nothing to say.

Aidan kept going at it for the entire night.

In the end, Leanna was so exhausted that she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Aidan kissed her forehead and tucked her under the covers before leaving the bedroom.

He walked out to the living room and called Keaton. "Leanna will be staying here for the next few days. Make sure they don't leave the house. We'll see how things go in a few days."

"Got it."
