Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 451

Before Leanna could continue to think about it, Aidan was already leading her forward by the hand. “Let’s go. We might be done here, but there is still something unresolved waiting for us.”

Leanna collected her thoughts and lightly pressed her lips into a thin line upon hearing his words. She knew that Aidan was talking about Jethro.

With Leroy gone after he made his escape, Jethro was probably in Aidan’s hands. Aidan soon took her to the VIP lounge not far from the banquet hall, where Jonathan was waiting outside. As soon as Jonathan saw the couple, he addressed them. “President Pearson, Miss McKinney.”

“Is he still breathing?” Aidan asked.

“Yes, sir.”

Aidan had given instructions before that they could get violent with Jethro if he resisted, so long as they didn’t kill him.

Although Jethro didn’t resist much, he had been yelling about all sorts of unpleasant things and even cursed Leanna out. To make him stop, Jonathan had a few men beat him up while they kept his head intact. He was still in there, yelling at this very moment.

The trio could hear his voice after Jonathan opened the door to the lounge.

When they saw Jethro, he was curled up on the floor, his hands clutching his stomach. He would let out a moan or two from time to time. His cries only got louder when he raised his head to look in the direction he heard the door open.

Aidan started calmly, “You being able to make a sound now means that my underlings haven’t been rough enough.”

When Jethro heard these words, he immediately got up and forced a smile on his bruised and swollen face. “Hehe, we meet again, my wonderful daughter and son-in-law. I have missed you very much during this time.”

It was Leanna’s turn to peer at him with a frigid gaze. “I didn’t think I would see you again,” she hummed. “You should’ve died a long time ago.”

“It’s because I’m a lucky man! With how promising both my children are, it would be a pity for me to just die before I even get to enjoy the blessing.”

“You are the most shameless person I’ve ever met in my life,” Aidan couldn’t help commenting.

Leanna soon continued, “Where is my mother buried?”

Ah! This question! Jethro showed another eerily smile. “Why would you need a tomb for a dead person? I had her body burned to a crisp a long ago. I also flushed her ashes.”

Leanna only stared at him with a deep frown on her face for a long minute before she abruptly turned around. “I have no other questions.”
