Chapter 553

Aidan had yet to arrive at the restaurant even after they finished their meal.

Leanna gave him a call, but his phone was switched off.

Zoe quickly inquired, “What’s wrong, Nana?”

Leanna shoved her phone back into her pocket and shook her head. “Nothing. Aidan said he was coming, but—”

“Did something happen to Pearson Group in the past two days?” Daniel suddenly asked.

“I believe so, but when I asked Jonathan about it, he claimed that there were some minor internal issues but they are all resolved.”

“Minor internal issues?”

Hearing his tone of voice, Leanna couldn’t help pursing her lips. She assumed Jonathan must have deliberately hidden the truth from her, but since they were reluctant to explain, she decided against badgering them.

Seeing Daniel’s expression, however, she figured that the issues might be more complicated than she imagined.

After contemplating for a moment, Leanna asked, “Do you… know what’s going on?”

“This afternoon, I heard Aidan direct all his subordinates to conduct investigations all over Highside. I have never seen him act in such an exaggerated way, but I have no idea what is exactly going on. I just don’t think it is an internal issue.”

“Could they be looking for Lloyd Crossley?”

“That’s unlikely. Lloyd has always been our main target, but he didn’t make such a grand gesture even when he was looking for Georgina back then.”

While listening to their conversation, Zoe asked Leanna in a subdued voice, “Do you think he is seeing another woman?”

Daniel’s lips twitched when he heard that. “That’s even more unlikely, but…”

Halfway through his sentence, Daniel frowned upon recalling something. Following that, his expression turned solemn.

“Any idea?” Leanna inquired.

After a while, Daniel’s expression returned to normal as he smiled. “Nothing. They’re just insignificant thoughts.”

Glancing at the time, Leanna suggested, “Let’s go, then.”

After leaving the restaurant, Leanna bid goodbye to Zoe and hopped into the car she parked at the side of the road.
