Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 625 Lost Any Utility Value

Leanna paused. "Are you saying that someone intentionally sent her to Highside?"

Aidan nodded and slowly said, "The Woodley Family was eager to make Charlotte marry Lachlan. Moreover... That's why it wasn't easy for her to leave Jamesdon. However, we happened to be returning to Highside."

After hearing that, she knew what he had left out.

There was an unwritten rule in the Woodleys that stated family members could never leave Jamesdon. Charlotte, the granddaughter of Philip Woodley, was restrained from leaving Jamesdon by various means, no matter what methods she used.

After thinking momentarily, Leanna asked, "Are those who assisted her the same people who conspired with Sienna?"

Aidan shook his head and explained, "No. Setting aside the various internal struggles within the Woodley Family, the two most obvious forces now are Lachlan and those who oppose him. Those who oppose him will inevitably need the help of the Woodley Family's elders if they want to get his position."

Then, she interjected, "Charlotte's grandfather is currently the most prestigious elder in the Woodley Family. If they want his help, they certainly won't lay a hand on Charlotte, right?"

"Exactly. Moreover, everyone knows Charlotte's identity. Even if Lachlan wants to sit firmly in the position of the head of the Woodley Family, he must marry her, let alone other people. As long as he marries her, he will get the full support of her family."

"Since she had already left Jamesdon and arrived in Highside, even if she returns, she will lose any utility value as long as word of her leaving Jamesdon spreads," Leanna said.

Aidan's lips curved slightly. "Smart."

After a while, she started to get a handle on things and remarked, "So, the person who helped her come to Highside was Lachlan."

"Lachlan has been refusing this marriage, but the Woodleys' elders are unwilling to compromise. Although he can stabilize his position by marrying Charlotte, he is also restrained by those people," Aidan explained. "Initially, the elders agreed to bring my mother back to the Woodley Family. However, they were subtly displeased because they felt Lachlan violated the family's rules. Although Philip didn't say anything, it was clear that he was also unhappy. Nevertheless, his primary concern is the position of the head of the Woodley Family. As long as Charlotte and Lachlan get married, he can turn a blind eye. However, he didn't expect his granddaughter to break the family's rules."

"So, that's why Lachlan sent Charlotte to Highside?" Leanna asked.

"Yes."

but faces significant opposition. If bringing Naomi back to the Woodley Family is the first step, then sending Charlotte to Highside is the second step. Now, Charlotte's family must have been outraged. Leanna felt that the situation in Jamesdon was
