Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 561

At Pearson Group, Oscar pushed the office door open and walked in, saying, “Jonathan said that you’re looking for me.”

Aidan was seated behind his desk, looking through some files. He didn’t even lift his head as he said, “Give me a minute.”

So, Oscar plopped himself on the couch, closed his eyes, and decided to take a quick break. Unfortunately, Aidan wasn’t the only one unable to catch any proper sleep recently.

About fifteen minutes later, Aidan took a seat across from him. “I remember you’re from Jamesdon.”

Oscar opened one eye and stared at him before saying lazily, “Yeah, I am. What’s up?”

“What do you know about the Woodley Family?” Aidan inquired.

As Oscar wasn’t expecting him to ask this, he blinked his eyes open before he hesitantly responded, “Why are you suddenly—”

“There’s a high chance that this matter has something to do with Jamesdon.”

“You mean why the child was brought back to the Pearson Family?” Oscar frowned. “That’s unlikely. What would the Woodley Family even gain by doing this?”

“It doesn’t matter whether they’re the mastermind behind that incident. But, judging from the current situation, there’s something fishy going around in Jamesdon.”

A few seconds passed by silently before he finally answered, “What would you like to know?”

“Everything. Tell me everything.”

“The Woodley Family has been living in Jamesdon for generations,” he began slowly. “Over the years, their descendants ventured into business, politics, and the military until they gradually took over the entire Jamesdon and became unbeatable in terms of financial worth and influence. However, there’s an unwritten rule within the family: they could never leave Jamesdon their whole lives. If they do, that’s as good as cutting off all ties with the Woodley Family, and they’re not allowed to return to Jamesdon ever again. Also, their life and death are unrelated to the Woodley Family once they do so. But the Woodley Family simply grew too big and developed far too many branch families over the years, watering down their bloodline. Eventually, nobody really bothered with that unwritten rule, and it was slowly forgotten with time. However, I heard that the direct descendants of the Woodley Family in Jamesdon are still strictly following this code.”

Aidan merely stared at him steadily.
