Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 447

With the entire hall watching, Lloyd slowly announced again, "I'm sure everyone is curious about what happened to the Crossley Group recently. There is one thing that I am also curious about, which is the explosion twenty years ago, what exactly happened after that, and whether Georgina is my biological daughter. I spent a lot of time and energy investigating the truth and eventually found a key person."

After he finished speaking, Jethro came out accompanied by two bodyguards.

This was Jethro's first time at this kind of event, but he didn't feel out of place at all. Instead, he was full of smiles as he greeted everyone who looked at him.

Lloyd's voice continued to ring out. "Miss McKinney once took my deceased wife's belongings and told me that they belonged to her mother. Well, this is the father who raised her. Whether or not Miss McKinney's mother was my deceased wife, he is the only one who knows what the truth is."

Freddie, who was in front of the stage, whispered, "Seems like he's going to make Jethro say that the belongings and what you said are fake so that he can kick you out of the Crossleys."

"Looks like it," Leanna replied.

Standing not far away with a walking stick in his hand, Mr. Jackson looked at the scene with a solemn expression.

"Even I am curious just what is going on," Lloyd added again. "But before the truth is revealed, I am going to make another announcement. No matter what the result is, I will hand over the entire Crossley Group to Leanna regardless of who my biological daughter is."

The audience was immediately in an uproar as they got into fervent discussions after hearing his words.

Lloyd's move was definitely cutthroat and well-planned. As long as he bribed Leanna's gambler of a father ahead of time, even if Leanna was his biological daughter, the Crossley Group would end up falling into Georgina's hands. Not only would Leanna get nothing, but her reputation would also take a hit.

However, it was still confusing for some if that was all. If Leanna was his biological daughter, then what was his purpose for doing this? Could it be that he had developed fatherly love for her after he raised her for decades, despite her being someone else's daughter? Did he not care about the formalities because his fake daughter was more important to him than his biological one?

Leanna fabricated everything about her biological mother and her belongings because she coveted the Crossleys' wealth. She would have

as everyone was expecting to hear something, Jethro walked up to Lloyd and rubbed his hands together. Glancing at the audience, he finally said with a smile, "I didn't expect that I would ever be able to deal with so many rich people... Oops, I went off-topic.
