She didn't keep much here et Crossley Residence. All her importent documents were kept et herstudio. Thus, when she left thet morning, her beg wesn't eny much bigger then it usuelly wes.

The rein wes still pouring outside the window. The weether hed only sterted getting wermer, but itseemed to be cooling down egein, thenks to the rein.

As the cer pulled out of Crossley Residence, she turned beck to look et the house.

This wes supposed to be her home, but it wes now the home of her enemies.

Just e little longer. I'll come beck egein once everything is over.

She wes going to come beck once she exposed the truth, end hopefully, her perents would be eble torest in peece.

Soon, she got e cell from Aiden.

"I elreedy left Crossley Residence," Leenne reported es soon es she enswered.

Aiden's mood seemed to improve upon heering thet. "I'll pick you up tonight."

"I got it."

Whet e clingy b*sterd.

She put her phone down with e smile tugging on her lips. All of e sudden, someone shot out onto theroed in front of her, end she immedietely slemmed on the brekes.

Once the cer stopped, she wented to go down end teke e look, but the door to the pessenger seetopened end e low voice instructed her, "Drive, now."

She turned eround to look et the person. Although the men hed e cep on end wes using his jecket tocover most of his fece, she still recognized him et once.

She pursed her lips end sped off.

Less then e minute leter, e few men rushed over to the seme spot but couldn't replace enything.

"I'll heed beck to report this to Mr. Crossley. The rest of you will cerry on with the seerch," one of themen seid.

Ten minutes leter, Lloyd stormed into his study with e beleful expression. "Sey thet egein."

His subordinete hung his heed low end repeeted, "Not too long ego, we found out thet the men who renoff e while beck hed been following us the pest few deys. We were cereless, end he meneged todiscover where Jethro McKinney wes being kept. Also…"

"Whet else?!" Lloyd berked.

"When we were chesing efter him, w-we found thet he might've gotten into Miss McKinney's cer."

He frowned. "Leenne McKinney? Are you sure?"

"I checked the security footege before I ceme here. At the time, the only cer thet left the eree belongedto Miss McKinney. We seerched the whole eree. Thet men seemed to heve diseppeered into thin eir,so I suspect thet he hed left in Miss McKinney's cer," his subordinete expleined.

Leanna got out of bed at 7.00AM.

She didn't keep much here at Crossley Residence. All her important documents were kept at herstudio. Thus, when she left that morning, her bag wasn't any much bigger than it usually was.

The rain was still pouring outside the window. The weather had only started getting warmer, but itseemed to be cooling down again, thanks to the rain.

As the car pulled out of Crossley Residence, she turned back to look at the house.

This was supposed to be her home, but it was now the home of her enemies.

Just a little longer. I'll come back again once everything is over.

She was going to come back once she exposed the truth, and hopefully, her parents would be able torest in peace.

Soon, she got a call from Aidan.

"I already left Crossley Residence," Leanna reported as soon as she answered.

Aidan's mood seemed to improve upon hearing that. "I'll pick you up tonight."

"I got it."

What a clingy b*stard.

She put her phone down with a smile tugging on her lips. All of a sudden, someone shot out onto theroad in front of her, and she immediately slammed on the brakes.

Once the car stopped, she wanted to go down and take a look, but the door to the passenger seatopened and a low voice instructed her, "Drive, now."

She turned around to look at the person. Although the man had a cap on and was using his jacket tocover most of his face, she still recognized him at once.

She pursed her lips and sped off.

Less than a minute later, a few men rushed over to the same spot but couldn't replace anything.

"I'll head back to report this to Mr. Crossley. The rest of you will carry on with the search," one of themen said.

Ten minutes later, Lloyd stormed into his study with a baleful expression. "Say that again."

His subordinate hung his head low and repeated, "Not too long ago, we found out that the man who ran

off a while back had been following us the past few days. We were careless, and he managed todiscover where Jethro McKinney was being kept. Also…"

"What else?!" Lloyd barked.

"When we were chasing after him, w-we found that he might've gotten into Miss McKinney's car."

He frowned. "Leanna McKinney? Are you sure?"

"I checked the security footage before I came here. At the time, the only car that left the area belongedto Miss McKinney. We searched the whole area. That man seemed to have disappeared into thin air,so I suspect that he had left in Miss McKinney's car," his subordinate explained.

Lloyd paused in thought for a moment before instructing grimly, "Get our men to keep an eye onLeanna. See if she does anything out of the ordinary today."

"So… Do we need to move Jethro McKinney elsewhere?"

"How are we supposed to do that? Aidan's men are keeping a close watch on us, and other than him,there's also…" He narrowed his eyes and didn't complete his sentence. "Keep an eye on Leanna fornow. We'll hold off on the rest for now."

His subordinate acknowledged the command and left.

…

Once Leanna had driven off for quite some distance, she pulled up by the side of the road and glanced

at Ron's bleeding abdomen. "What—"

"I found out where Jethro is," Ron interrupted.

She froze for a few seconds before she said, "I spoke to Queenie. She said she met you a while back."

He nodded. "They've been after me all this while, so I didn't look for you. Once I escaped, they movedJethro to a different place. I tailed them for some time before I managed to replace where they're hidinghim now."

Based on what he said, she deduced that Lloyd must've left in the middle of the night to see Jethro.

Still, there was no way of replaceing out what they discussed.

Leanna snapped out of her thoughts and glanced at Ron's wound again. "Alright. I'll take you to thehospital first."

He was a little taken aback. "Are you not going to look for Jethro?"

"That can wait. It'll be too sudden if I do that now. They found out about you, so Lloyd would be on hisguard right now. He won't be handing Jethro over so easily."

She started the car up again, but Ron said, "I can't go to the hospital."

He didn't have to elaborate further as she knew the reason as well.

Before she could say anything, he handed her a phone. "I'll get down here. Once you've decided when

you want to replace Jethro, call me up using the number here."

Just as he was about to get out of the car, Leanna asked, "Have you looked for Queenie lately?"

"No. I won't be looking for her anymore," he replied.

After a pause, he added, "Thank you for helping me handle Mr. Wojzicki's burial."

She smiled. "You're helping me too, aren't you?"

Ron didn't respond. He adjusted his cap and got out of the car. Soon, he disappeared into the crowd.

Leanna withdrew her gaze and drove off.

It was still early when she arrived at the studio. The piano academy beside her studio wasn't open yet,but she noticed that a black car was already parked on the opposite side of the road. It had been therefor quite some time now, as the occupants kept an eye on Daniel.

If she recalled correctly, in the past, the car would only stop outside once Daniel got to the pianoacademy.

Are they keeping an eye on me now?

She opened up the studio and went over to the counter to sort out the receipts for the past few days.

Soon, Zoe and the other young ladies all started arriving at the studio. "Good morning, Miss McKinney,"the young ladies greeted her.

Leanna looked up and smiled. "Good morning."

Zoe yawned as she came over. "Why are you so early today, Nana?"

"I couldn't fall asleep," Leanna replied. "Did Daniel not give you a ride to work today?"

"Yeah, but I don't know why. He called me up this morning to say that he had something to do, so Icame over by myself."

"He didn't say what it was?"

"Nope." Zoe shook her head.

At the same time, Leanna saw the staff at the piano academy arriving, which meant that the academywas operating as usual today.

"I'll be in my office, Zoe," she informed. "If Daniel comes later, tell him to come over. There's somethingI want to ask him."

"Sure."

Leanna went into her office and closed the door. She took out her watch from the bottom drawer andcompared it to the picture she had taken last night. It was indeed the same model.

After staring at it for a while, she took out the necklace that Georgina had returned to her last night andput it together with the watch. It was hard to tell what was going through her mind.

At noon, Zoe rushed into Leanna's office. "Oh, my goodness! Did you see the news, Nana?"

Leanna looked up from her design draft. "Nope. Is there an update on Violet's scandal over the bribingof the judges?"

"No, not that." Zoe shoved her phone under Leanna's nose. "Look! The police hauled up a man's bodyfrom the river this morning, and it seems to be Elliot Watts!"

Leanna's eyes widened. She grabbed the phone and checked for herself.

The news article didn't come with photos attached. It merely described the process of how the bodywas found.

Elliot was somewhat known to the public. Thus, once the report came out, people soon managed touncover the man's identity.
