Chapter 430

One good thing about staying with Aidan was the lack of Lloyd and Georgina. Leanna could relax without them around, though Aidan could be annoying sometimes.

Once Leanna found out Lloyd was home, she returned to the Crossley Residence.

The moment she entered, Georgina hissed, “You think this is a hotel where you can come and go as you please?”

Leanna smiled. “Oh no, Miss Crossley. I wouldn’t dare, but not everyone has all the time in the world like you. You can have high tea with your friends and gossip with them, but not me. I have to go around for work. Your father would understand.”

Lloyd had just descended from the second floor. He heard that, and he asked, “So, you were out of town?”

“No, but I have to work a lot of overtime. Didn’t want to disturb Miss Crossley, so I stayed someplace else.”

Lloyd said nothing. He shot his daughter a look, telling her to return to her room.

Georgina refused. Just when she was about to say something, Leanna said, “Ah, Mr. Crossley, I’ve upheld my end of the bargain. When will you uphold yours?”

“What do you mean?” Lloyd asked.

I knew they wouldn’t comply so easily. Leanna grinned. “You must have forgotten about it, but it’s normal. Let me jog your memory. You promised if I told the public that Miss Crossley isn’t involved in this whole mess, you would have her apologize to my brother.” After a short pause, she asked, “Does that ring a bell?”

Before Lloyd could say anything, Georgina growled, “I will never do that.”

Leanna’s eyes were still on Lloyd, her smile unwavering. “Is that what you think as well, Mr. Crossley?”

Panicked, Georgina said, “Dad—”

“Georgina,” Lloyd interjected. He asked Leanna, “How would you like her to apologize?”
