Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 448

Lloyd's expression did not change much when he heard her question, and he explained unhurriedly, "Since you have already asked about this, let me tell you one thing—Georgina was adopted by me. I was unconscious in the hospital for three months and by the time I woke up, all my loved ones were gone in that explosion. I searched all over the city's orphanages but there was no trace of you. I thought you and your mother were no longer in this world. That was when I met Georgina. She was about the same age as you and she was abandoned by her parents for some reason. I adopted her out of pity. Not long after I brought her home, she fell seriously ill and she forgot everything when she woke up. For so many years, I have always treated Georgina as my own daughter and because I didn't want her to know about it, I never mentioned it to anyone. As for you showing up with Sandra's belongings, I insisted that Georgina is my daughter because I didn't believe you and I didn't want to make her sad. But now that your adoptive father has already confirmed the truth of your birth, I have no reason to not believe it any longer."

The audience was dumbstruck when they heard his answer. They could do nothing but look forward to whether there would be more reversals.

After Lloyd finished speaking, he looked at Leanna. "Any other questions?"

She calmly commented, "You must have investigated the kind of person Jethro is, Mr. Crossley."

Lloyd only squinted and said nothing.

"He is a liar and gambling addict who is chased by loan sharks every day and yet, you believe his words, Mr. Crossley? Aren't you afraid that he is joining hands with me to get the Crossley Group?"

After a while, Lloyd let out a small sigh. "Leanna, I know you still hold a grudge against me. I can't make you change your mind no matter what I say, and I won't ask you to forgive me. I just want you to live well."

"Don't say that, Mr. Crossley," Leanna murmured. "I have something I believe will be of interest to you."

She then raised the brown paper bag in her hand and smiled. "There is a paternity test result inside. Would you like to see it, Mr. Crossley?"

Not knowing what she was up to, Lloyd began, "Leanna, let's talk somewhere else."

Right then, a mature but powerful voice came from the crowd. "A paternity test result, eh? I want to see it."

After the words were uttered, Mr. Jackson walked to Leanna's side with his cane and took the brown paper bag from her. After he looked at it a few times, he frowningly handed it to Lloyd. "Explain this," he demanded.
