Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 538

After Kevin departed, Leanna turned to Richard and Freddie. “You guys should go.”

Richard was about to protest. “Miss McKinney…”

Freddie interrupted him, saying, “That’s enough. We shouldn’t cause further trouble here. Let’s leave matters here to her.”

“Okay, then. Miss McKinney, I will be waiting for you downstairs. Just call me if you need anything.”

She smiled. “Sure.”

When they arrived downstairs, Freddie told Richard, “Why don’t you wait for her here? I’m going back to check on things at the Crossley Group.”

Richard nodded. “Okay.”

Freddie was just about to leave when his gaze inadvertently fell on the black car parked by the side of the road.

There was no saying whether the people inside the car noticed his gaze, but they drove forward the instant he set his sights on them.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the license plate number.

Meanwhile, inside the black car, Kevin observed, “Mr. Watson, everything has been dealt with according to your instructions. But… I don’t know if it’s just my imagination. It feels like she is suspicious of us.”

John leaned into the back seat and closed his eyes to rest. “It’s probably not your imagination. How stupid can Aidan’s lover be? Besides, she can suppress Jimmy and take over the position of head of the Crossley Group. Did you think she relied only on the support of Aidan?”

Kevin added, “Then, what should we do now?”

“We wait. I want to see how she plans to deal with this mess.”

“Understood.”
