Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 501

It happened to be 9.00AM when Leanna arrived at the first floor of the Crossley Group.

There was still one hour left before the meeting started. She came earlier so that she could understand the company’s internal situation better.

However, before she even opened the car door, she noticed a group of employees asking to be paid their salaries squatting at the entrance of the company. They held banners and signs as they denounced the Crossley Group.

Aidan had already predicted this.

Turning her head, Leanna asked, “What should we do now?”

“Let’s get out of the car,” Aidan suggested.

As soon as Leanna appeared at the company’s entrance, someone yelled, “It’s her! She’s Lloyd Crossley’s daughter! We need to get our money from her!”

The group was already rushing over to surround Leanna the moment they heard those words.

Upon seeing this, Aidan’s bodyguards immediately stepped forward and stopped them from approaching.

The place became extremely rowdy following the commotion.

Aidan swiftly pulled Leanna into his arms. Despite having to face the angry crowd, he neither told them to stop nor restrained them. He only put up with them quietly.

It was currently rush hour. Passersby huddled over to see what was happening when they heard the big commotion.

Jimmy, who was in the building of the Crossley Group, immediately frowned when he saw this. “What is he doing here?” he asked.

“President Pearson has always thought highly of himself. It’s not surprising that he would come,” Raymond answered as he stood beside Jimmy.

Jimmy scoffed in response. “This is Crossley Group’s business and yet, someone from the Pearson Group is intervening. I doubt Leanna can gain a foothold within the company.”

Jimmy was the one who arranged for the people currently outside the company to be there. His initial plan was to trap Leanna there so that she knew she couldn’t just waltz her way into the Crossley Group. It was also a warning for her to drop her attitude.

He would then wait for the right time to appear and dissolve the crowd while he promised them on behalf of the Crossley Group to be responsible for everyone. It would be a nice boost to his reputation if he successfully cracked the whip.
