Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 301

Meanwhile, Mr. Jackson stared at the pocket watch in Leanna’s hand in a trance as she handed it over. Then, he extended his trembling hand to cradle it and raised his head to look at her in astonishment.

He flipped the pocket watch cover, and the photo of two people was presented in front of his eyes.

Then, he clutched the pocket and was silent for a while before muttering, “The woman in the photo is Sandra.”

When those words escaped his lips, everyone around him whispered curiously, wondering how Leanna had gotten ahold of the pocket watch.

Leanna had envisioned countless possibilities beforehand, but when she heard the answer, she still couldn’t help but gasp softly.

It seemed that she had made the right gambit.

Suddenly, Mr. Jackson grabbed Leanna’s hand and asked with a hint of eagerness and curiosity in his tone, “Young lady, where did you get the pocket watch?”

“It’s…” Leanna cleared her throat as she felt her throat dry at his inquiry. Then, after a moment of silence, she continued, “It’s my mother’s relic.”

Her voice echoed across the hall, and everyone gasped in shock and exchanged bewildered and confused glances with each other.

If the pocket watch belonged to Leanna’s mother, it meant that Leanna was Lloyd’s daughter, didn’t it? What about Georgina, whom everyone had hailed as the daughter of the prestigious Crossley Family? Who was she?

At the thought of this, everyone instinctively looked at Georgina, who looked equally bewildered and aghast. It seemed as if she was equally at a loss for everything that was unfolding before her.

Mr. Jackson returned the pocket watch to Leanna and frowned as he turned to look at Lloyd, who had been silent all along. “Lloyd, what exactly is going on here?”

After a moment of silence, Lloyd pursed his lips and said, “You two, come with me.”

Georgina followed him as soon as he turned around. “Dad, what—”

Lloyd raised his hand to stop her. “Shush. We’ll talk about it later.”

Georgina’s expression was far from pleasant. After she took a few steps forward, she looked back at Leanna and secretly bit the insides of her cheek in frustration.
