Chapter 475

Zoe's words hit as soon as a knock sounded on the door. Leanna lifted her head and glanced in that direction.

It was Daniel; he entered the room and put down the bouquet in his hands. "Miss McKinney, are you feeling better?"

She replied, "Thanks. I'm feeling much better."

Zoe felt uneasy as soon as she saw him and deduced that he had something important to discuss with Leanna, so she came up with an excuse and left the room.

Once the door was shut, he mentioned, "That's great, Miss McKinney. You shouldn't worry too much about everything else too. President Pearson and I… will sort things out."

Leanna pursed her lips slightly and replied after a few seconds, "How do you plan on handling things?"

"That would be dependent on the result of the autopsy."

Previously, she had allowed Jethro to live because she wanted to find out from him about the past and the location of her mother's grave. However, it almost seemed insignificant at this point.

Leanna replied, "No matter what it is, these are all done solely by Jethro."

Daniel nodded in response. "I know."

She felt that he did not get what she meant, so she remained silent for a moment before adding, "It has nothing to do with Louis."

In response, he affirmed, "That's for sure, but… why did you suddenly bring this up?"

She mentioned, "It's nothing, really. You've seen yesterday's situation and Jethro's just like a maniac. He goes after anyone he can pounce on. He just wants to drag Louis down with him."

Daniel agreed with her statement as Jethro had been full of abusive words yesterday, using extremely vulgar and ugly words to abuse her. Although he knew that Jethro was indeed a piece of trash, it was inevitable for one to feel upset having a father like Jethro.
