Chapter 489

On the other end of the phone, Celia replied, “I have no idea. That’s the boss’ business. It’d be weird if I asked him about it. What I do know is that the child was born prematurely because of his family. His family situation is quite complicated. I guess he wants to deal with all the messy stuff at home quickly.”

“All of this… messy stuff at home, is there any chance it could involve you?”

“No way. Don’t worry about it.”

Raymond shut his eyes and massaged his brows. “Alright, I’m coming to pick you up.”

“Alright, see you soon.”

With that, he tossed the phone onto the passenger seat. Then, he yanked at his tie and glared at the office with mockery and contempt.

After Raymond and Jimmy left, Zoe strutted into the office. “Nana, what did they want?”

Leanna pursed her lips and stared aimlessly into the distance. “It’s about the Crossleys.”

“The Crossleys? What about them?”

“They’ve been leaderless since Leroy fled. They’re a mess right now.”

“That has nothing to do with you. Why did they come to bug you about it?”

Leanna whispered, “They want me to take over the Crossley Group to help them secure investments and bank loans.”

Zoe frowned, for the whole thing smelled fishy. “Don’t do it. With Crossley Group’s current state, whoever gets involved would be equivalent to digging their graves. Let them do whatever they want. It has nothing to do with you.”

Leanna hummed. “That’s what I thought at first, but …”

“But what?”

“Crossley Group isn’t the only one affected; it’s their employees as well. They’re innocent.”

Zoe pursed her lips. “Well, that might be true. Leroy has done a great job screwing everything up. Lots of people are caught in the crossfire. However, that has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to take responsibility for their mess. You don’t have to care at all.”

Hearing this, Leanna lowered her eyes. Her voice was low and sullen. “I know.”
