Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 252

Chuckling, Elijah grabbed another glass of champagne and passed it to her. “They only value the benefits of a coalition marriage, so it doesn’t matter whether she was previously engaged to Aidan or not.”

Besides, it was because of the fact Aidan had annulled the engagement with Georgina that Lloyd and Aidan’s father could reach an agreement. Elijah kept his thought to himself.

Leanna pursed her lips and didn’t say a word. No wonder Georgina was getting more hostile toward me when I met her the past few times. So, this is the reason, she thought.

This whole time, Aidan was the one Georgina wanted to marry, but she ended up engaged to his elder brother instead. That was why she took out all her anger on Leanna when she ran into Aidan having a meal with her the last time.

After a short pause, Leanna asked with a frown, “What about her and Daniel?”

Raising his head, Elijah took a sip of the champagne in his glass and turned to look at a spot not far away. “Don’t worry about him. He has a way to solve this.”

Following his gaze, Leanna realized that Daniel was here as well, and he was speaking with Mr. Jackson now.

To begin with, Elijah was quite close with Mr. Jackson, and not to mention Daniel was Elijah’s friend too. Hence, it wasn’t surprising that Daniel was on good terms with Mr. Jackson. However, Leanna couldn’t understand what Elijah meant by Daniel having a way to solve the situation.

The engagement between Georgina and Justin was a union of interests between the Pearsons and the Crossleys. Would Lloyd really give that up just because of a few mere words from Daniel?

Unless one party had a better option, there was no reason for the annulment of this marriage.

Right then, a waiter approached Elijah and whispered something to him. He furrowed his brows slightly before turning to Leanna and said, “Wait here for a while for me, Leanna. I’ll be back soon.”

She gave him a nod. “Okay.”

Before walking away, he scanned around for Aidan, and he only left after making sure Aidan wasn’t around.

Holding the champagne in her hand, Leanna took a small sip, and when she was about to check out Daniel and Mr. Jackson again, she saw that they were no longer within her eyesight.
