Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 692 Can’t Eat

Zoe planned to take a stroll in the park that morning, but it was sweltering hot the moment she stepped out, so she went to the mall instead. It had been a while since she shopped so she bought a ton of stuff. Once she was home, she said, "I bought most of what I might need, so let's go to the studio in the afternoon. I want to see how it works with Mr. Pearson around."

Leanna nodded, but she said nothing. Noticing that Leanna was hesitating, Zoe asked, "What's wrong, Nana?"

Leanna looked at her. "There's something I need to tell you."

The solemn look on Leanna's face scared Zoe, and she said, "Um, is the report for the first six months out? Are we actually in the red?"

"That's not it."

Zoe patted her chest. "Good, good. As long as we're not in the red, it's no big deal. So, what was it you wanted to talk about?"

"Daniel's been missing for a month."

Zoe froze for a moment, then she said, "By that you mean…"

"We didn't go to Lachstein because my dad was ill; he was ambushed and got taken to a hospital. Daniel went missing before the ambush happened. Once Daniel tried to track those ambushers down, he went off the radar. Before we came back, Lachlan found those ambushers and interrogated them. According to them, Leroy took Daniel away."

Zoe looked surprised. "Leroy?"

Leanna nodded. "It's been a while since Leroy left Highside. He was the one behind my father's attack and Daniel's disappearance."

"So, Daniel is…"

"The fact that Leroy took him away means Daniel still has some use for him. He's safe… for now."

Zoe plopped down on the couch, looking pale. A while later, she said, "H-He was already missing when I couldn't establish contact, wasn't he? It wasn't because of the company or anything?"

"Yes."
