In the room, Leanna took out her pocket watch from the box again as well as the purchase informationfrom her bag to check the model again.

After checking a few times, she finally saw a slight difference.

This pocket watch was more than twenty years old, and it had been with Jethro previously, so theabrasion was quite serious. There were scratches in many places, and there was actually an alphabetcarved under a scratch that she overlooked.

She could roughly tell that it was the letter 'M', so it had nothing to do with Lloyd's name.

Then, she checked the purchase records from top to bottom again and found out that there was a littleasterisk next to Lloyd's purchase record.

After some thought, Leanna called the person-in-charge.

When the call was picked up, she said, "Hello, Mr. Muston. I'm Leanna. Sorry for disturbing you at thistime, but I have something that I need to ask you."

"What is it?"

"I've gone through the purchase records just now and saw that there's an asterisk on one of therecords, but the others don't have it. What is the asterisk for?"

"Oh, that. It should be our special customer. The pocket watches can be customized for specialcustomers, but I remember they are quite rare."

When Leanna heard that, she held her breath and asked carefully, "And who were your specialcustomers?"

"They're normally the higher-ups of the factory, or… Oh right, I remember that Mr. Crossley hascustomized two pocket watches before too."

"Who's Mr. Crossley?" she continued to ask.

"The land of the factory area belongs to Mr. Crossley, and he invested in the factory as well." The eldercontinued as he recalled his memory, "Yes, yes. Mr. Crossley has definitely customized two pocketwatches. I was responsible for serving him at that time. He said that this pocket watch was a marriagepresent for his wife… One of them had his name carved on it, and the other one was his wife's name."

Hearing that, Leanna already got the answer. So, she said, "I got it. Thank you, Mr. Muston."

After she hung up the phone, she stared at the pocket watch silently.

Some time later, a knock came from the door, and it was pushed open. Zoe stuck her head inside andasked, "Nana, are you still busy? The dishes are turning cold. Do you want to eat first?"

Leanna cast her thoughts aside and put down the pocket watch before smiling. "Okay."

When they were eating, Zoe noticed that Leanna was absent-minded, so she thought that she was

worrying about the purchase information. Zoe comforted her, saying, "Nana, don't overthink it. So manypeople bought that pocket watch, so it might not be… There are contact numbers in the purchaserecords, right? We can try calling them one by one tomorrow. If it's not picked up, we can…"

"It's okay, Zoe. Let's just hold it first. We can talk about it later," Leanna said.

Hearing that, Zoe nodded and didn't continue this topic anymore. She took out her phone and said, "Ifound a few houses that are quite nice. Two of them are just in front of our neighborhood. We can gothere and look around on the weekend."

After a moment of silence, Leanna said, "Zoe, I won't be able to view the houses with you. I need to gosomewhere."

A cheeky smile appeared on Zoe's face. "Are you moving in with President Pearson?"

Leanna shook her head with a smile. "I'll tell you some time later." She didn't know how to tell her nowsince everything was just her assumptions. No matter what, she needed to look for evidence first.

"Okay, but you need to tell me if anything happens, okay? Don't just keep it to yourself," Zoe said.

"Okay."

After dinner, Zoe returned to her room and went to bed.

Meanwhile, Leanna sat in the living room and thought about it for a moment. In the end, she got up andknocked on the next door.

When Daniel saw her, he didn't seem surprised. He just said calmly, "Come in."

Leanna followed behind him and entered his house.

"What would you like to drink, Miss McKinney?" Daniel pulled the refrigerator door open.

"Just warm water. Thank you."

He raised his brows and poured a cup of warm water for her.

After he sat down, he asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you're here for Georgina's matter, right?"

With the cup of water in her hand, she answered, "Yes and no."

"Huh?" Daniel was confused.

Leanna continued, "I want to go to the Crossley Residence to look for something. No matter what,Georgina will be dragged into this."

"What do you want to look for?"

"I'm sorry. It's not that I don't want to tell you the truth, but there are just too many things that I'm noteven sure about, so…"

Daniel knew what she meant, so he smiled. "Don't worry, Miss McKinney. I'm just asking. Three dayslater, Crossley Group will have a bidder conference for a project. Many big shots in the industry will beattending. I think President Pearson won't miss this chance either. Although I don't know what you're

looking for, I think this might be a chance for you."

Hearing that, she pressed her lips together. This is indeed a rare opportunity.

Then, he said, "If I guessed it correctly, since you're here for me, you probably don't want to ask forhelp from President Pearson. I can help you get the invitation."

In fact, she didn't expect that he would say that. After being stunned for a moment, she didn't reject himand thanked him gently. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. After all, an enemy's enemy is a friend."

When she heard that, she paused for a second. "Enemy?"

She knew that Daniel was against the Crossley Family all this while, but this was the first time she hadheard him address the Crossley Family as an enemy. All of a sudden, his purpose was much clearer.

Daniel crossed his long legs and said slowly, "Through the problems arising in Crossley Group thistime, you should be able to tell that they have made a lot of enemies, but their biggest enemy now isPresident Pearson for sure."

Hearing that, Leanna chuckled awkwardly.

Everyone knew why Aidan became Crossley Group's enemy. This was also the reason why she wentto Daniel for help and not Aidan.

The Pearson Group was already in a chaotic state, so she didn't want to drag Aidan into this.

"Thank you then," Leanna said while standing up.

"But I still need to remind you that Aidan is now the strongest enemy of the Crossley Family. Theymight take out their anger on you because of this." Daniel was already saying it so clearly. He believedthat Leanna should be able to understand what he meant.

Leanna nodded. "I know what I'm doing. No matter what, I still need to thank you." She came heretoday to just ask about the Crossley Family's movement. In fact, he just needed to tell her that anddidn't need to help her, but he took the initiative to get her the invitation.

Since Daniel didn't ask about her secret, of course she wouldn't inquire about his either.
