Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 465

While the meeting was going on, Leanna sat in the lounge next to the conference room, lowering her head and looking at the phone on her knees.

She had no intention of scrolling through Aidan's phone. All she wanted was to prevent him from communicating with his people in Highside.

After taking a deep breath, she took out her phone and called Zoe, instructing her to go over to the place right now.

Zoe had long prepared for this. After receiving Leanna's call, she immediately left her house.

On the other hand, Leanna sat inside the lounge, looking at the clock ticking away while waiting for further news.

Throughout the entire time, Aidan's phone did not ring even once.

About one hour later, Leanna's phone rang. It was a call from Zoe.

Leanna almost couldn't breathe when she saw the caller showing on the screen and answered right away. "How's it, Zoe?"

Zoe said, "I've already gone through a few houses. One is occupied by a middle-aged couple, the other by a single man, and the other two are empty. I've asked the couple, and they told me that one of the empty households is occupied by a young couple, while the other went outstation two months ago and hasn't returned since."

Then, Zoe went on, "I even ran into the security guards on their rounds. They said they have no impression of the person you mentioned, and that they did not hear any crying sounds of children at night either."

Leanna pursed her lips, unsure whether to be glad or disappointed.

So, is this just another coincidence?

Perhaps the elevator keycard I picked up isn't Celia's.

But I indeed…

"If you're still concerned, Nana, I can stay here until tonight to double-check everything. Do you want me to check the surveillance footage?" Zoe inquired.

To that, Leanna said, "That's not necessary. You can go back now."

Leanna leaned against the couch after hanging up the phone, feeling tired as she raised her hands to massage her brows.

With the situation progressing this way, she felt under so much pressure that she appeared to be ill, and she became overly sensitive and would overthink things.

Things had always been this way. It was as if she was only one step away from the truth, but whenever she asked Aidan or investigated herself, the results were always far from what she thought to be the truth.

There was not a single exception.
