Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 440

At the same time, Lloyd received a call saying Leanna had gone to Aidan's place. He told his men to keep an eye on them and said nothing else. He then looked outside the window before leaving the study. Not a moment later, he got into the car that was parked in the garden.

Jethro was locked up in a warehouse near the residence. It used to be a storage room of sorts, but it was slowly getting abandoned. Nobody would come near the place, so Lloyd transferred Jethro here not long after Ron escaped.

Jethro was lying on the single bed in the warehouse, watching a movie playing on an old TV before him. It wasn't too messy around him, but it certainly wasn't clean, either. Food containers and old newspapers were strewn all over the floor and table, though it was obvious someone would clean the place up from time to time. His broken leg hung limply on the bed, and he hummed languidly. Imprisonment didn't seem to take a toll on him.

A moment later, someone opened the door, and the light from the streetlamp flooded the room.

He sat up, squinting at the man who just entered.

Lloyd came in, and his lackey turned on the lights.

Blinded by the glaring light, Jethro held his hand up to cover his eyes.

Lloyd shot his lackey a look. The guy left the room and closed the door behind him.

He approached Jethro and took a seat on the couch before him. "So, what is your decision?"

Jethro chuckled and rubbed his fingers together. "Give me what I want, and I'll tell you what you want."

"You are insatiable."

"Hey, I had to spend tons of money raising a b*tch I call my daughter. She finally got married, and I thought she could help me out, but that ingrate won't even give me a single cent. So, I gotta help myself."
