Chapter 450

After Leroy got into the car, he glumly yanked off his necktie. "Where is she?"

"Miss Crossley is already on the way," replied the driver in front.

Leroy turned to look behind. "Speed up," he instructed with a worried voice.

What happened that night was uncalled for. He had already planned to give Crossley Group to Leannaso that she would shoulder all the subsequent responsibilities. In fact, he even set fire to the CrossleyResidence to support his cause, only for chaos to ensue unexpectedly.

Halfway through the drive, the driver glanced at the rearview mirror, and his tone became tense whenhe informed Leroy, "A few cars are tailing us, Mr. Crossley."

A frown immediately covered Leroy's face. They are quicker than I expected.

Not expecting them to catch up to him so soon, he coldly barked, "Go to the overpass."

"Are we not heading to the airport?"

"No." Leroy squinted and instructed, "To the helipad."

"What about Miss Georgina—"

Leroy immediately cut him off. "That's not our concern now."

Hearing that, the driver said no more and accelerated to the overpass. The cars behind Leroy must nothave expected the sudden move, which resulted in them falling behind. However, they promptly spedup to tail Leroy’s ride.

Leroy couldn't help having a feeling of impending doom when he saw the pursuit.

It seems like they are determined to catch me tonight.

…

Georgina was sitting in the VIP lounge of the airport. As she waited, she took out her phone impatientlyto check the time. The first thing she saw the second she turned on the screen was a news notification.She immediately clicked on it when she saw 'Crossley Group' in the title.

It turned out to be news that exposed everything that happened at the anniversary ceremony of theCrossley Group. It even pointed out at the end that the company's current chairperson might be Leroy,who died in the explosion 20 years ago, instead of Lloyd.

Georgina's eyes widened abruptly as she carefully read the news from beginning to end. However, sheonly found one brief mention of Lloyd's true identity, while the rest of the news were reports related toCrossley Group's projects.

She hurriedly gave Lloyd a call but couldn't get through.

In that instant, she felt a chill up her spine as the flowing blood in her body seemed to freeze.

Subconsciously, she gripped her phone tightly and jumped to her feet.

Her subordinate was beside her when he saw this. "Miss Crossley? Is something the matter?"

"It's nothing." Georgina quickly came back to her senses and regained her composure. "I'll head to thewashroom for a bit."

Her subordinate nodded in reply. "It's 20 minutes until boarding, Miss Crossley. Do come back soon."

Georgina only let out a small hum of acknowledgment before she left with her phone.

After walking a certain distance, she glanced at her subordinates waiting there behind her, and shespun and left the airport.

Now that such a significant incident had happened, and she couldn't reach her father's phone, thingswould definitely not turn out favorably if she left according to the original plan.

Sure enough, she had only left for two minutes before a group of people shuffled over and forcibly tookboth her and her luggage.

…

The crowd was still in shock after the emergency lights in the hotel came on. Leanna promptly slid outof Aidan's arms, and she found Cameron hiding in the corner. "Are you okay?" she asked, concerned.

After seeing her face, the child wiped off the hatred on his face and beamed at her. "We meet again,Pretty Leanny—"

He hadn't even finished his words when someone grabbed him by the collar, pulling him back andaway from Leanna.

Aidan's lukewarm voice rang out from behind immediately after that. "Just 'Leanna' is fine. There's noneed for adjectives."

Upset, Cameron struggled out of his hold and hid behind Leanna. "But she is pretty! Is it wrong to callher that?"

Aidan's eyes were squinted when his dark pupils fell on the arm holding Leanna's. "Get your butt overhere," he warned.

"No!" As Cameron yelled, he lifted his chin to look at Leanna's face. "Save me, Leanna! This old farthere is such a brute! He punished me after he sent me home last time."

Aidan added, "You’ll be grounded if you don't get here right this instant."

Feeling an incoming headache from the two's argument, Leanna reached out to hold Aidan back."Enough. You, stop talking. Don't you see that you're scaring him?"

With that said, she turned around and patted Cameron on the head. "It's okay, you…"

She was going to ask him why he was there, but she couldn't replace the words to say through her partedlips when she recalled how the boy had pointed his finger at Leroy earlier.

Sensing her reluctance, Cameron picked up where she had left off and introduced himself. "My name is

Cameron White, but you can call me Cameron just like everyone else does, Leanna."

Leanna smiled at him when she heard that. "Alright, Cameron." She then came to a slight pause beforeshe asked, "Who did you come here with?"

As though unwilling to tell her, Cameron looked around and unknowingly let go of her to take a fewsteps back.

Leanna didn't probe when she saw his reaction. Instead, she looked at Aidan. "It's almost over, isn't it?"she asked.

"Mm."

"Let's go then." She offered Cameron, "Can we send you home?"

"Sure!" The boy nodded, making Aidan's eyebrows raise. However, the man managed to suppress hisanger without a word. Most of the guests in the banquet hall had left at this point.

Leanna took Cameron with her, and they saw Elijah walking over as soon as they arrived at the door.

"Leanna." He stood in front of them as his gaze fell on Cameron. "I'm here to pick Cameron up."

Cameron let his head hang dejectedly while he trudged to Elijah's side. "Elijah will send me home,Leanna. I won't be able to go home with you…"

Aidan only cast a glance at the boy and commented, "How about you study for at least another twoyears so that you understand words better?"

The disappointed look on Cameron's face was instantly replaced by a willful one. The child had stuckhis tongue out at Aidan before he turned around and ran away.

Elijah couldn't help chuckling when he saw this. "I'll be taking my leave then, Leanna, PresidentPearson."

"Bye-bye." She nodded and waved at him, only to have her palm pulled down and held in Aidan's handwhen she was raising it.

Seriously?

Thankfully, Elijah didn't say anything else as he proceeded to leave with Cameron.

Leanna turned her head to Aidan as soon as they left and deadpanned, "It's fine if you don't let memeet Elijah, but you're picking on a child now?"

"I am picking on him, you say? Didn't you see that attitude he gave me?"

Leanna didn't want to continue arguing with him about this, but after a momentary silence, shesuddenly realized something. "Elijah was the one who brought him here, which means he should havebeen with him the whole time. It's probably no coincidence that Cameron found Zoe's contact number,huh?"

"Are you finally realizing what a scheming little fox that brat is?"

Still, there were things Leanna was still confused about. "But why did he get in touch with Zoe? Zoe's

not involved in this—"

As if she had realized something, her words came to an abrupt stop halfway through.

If Cameron hadn't approached Zoe for a reason, there was a high possibility the child's actual targetwas Leanna. Leroy killed Cameron's father… Did he approach me because he thought I was Leroy'sdaughter?
