Chapter 640 What’s Going On?

Leanna noticed the injuries on Charlotte's face and suggested, "You should go to the rest area and change your

clothes. I'll take you to the hospital to get checked out."

Charlotte shook her head. "It's okay. Uncle Joseph already took me to see a doctor on the way back. It's just a few

scratches. Nothing serious."

"Okay, change your clothes then."

After Charlotte went into the rest area, Leanna left the studio to go to the pharmacy to buy some disinfectant.

Zoe followed her and noticed that Leanna seemed distracted. She asked in a quiet voice, "What's wrong, Nana?"

Leanna paused for a moment and shook her head. "Nothing."

"Are you thinking about Charlotte's Uncle Joseph? I also find him suspicious. He suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

What do you think he wants?" asked Zoe.

Leanna sighed, "He said he came to Highside because he heard something happened in Woodley Residence

recently. In other words, he came for Aidan."

"Oh, I didn't think of that."

"The situation in Woodley Residence is very chaotic right now. In my opinion, all the Woodley family members have

problems. But he left Woodley Residence ten years ago, so I'm not sure about him."

As they were walking, Leanna stopped and said, "Zoe, wait for me. I need to make a phone call."

Zoe nodded. "Okay."

Leanna took out her phone, walked to the side of the road, and called Waylen.

When the ringtone was about to end, Waylen finally answered.

Leanna asked, "Are you busy right now?"

"Not really. Do you want me to show you your son via video call?"

"No, I'm not calling about him."

"Then..."

"I want to ask if you know Charlotte's uncle, Joseph Woodley?"

Waylen hesitated for a while as he probably was not expecting to hear that name from her.

Then, Waylen said, "I know him; what happened?"

"Charlotte told me that he died 10 years ago. But he showed up in Highside today."

After that, Leanna briefly recounted what happened today.

Waylen was a little confused on the phone. "Wait, are you saying that Joseph didn't die? He came to Highside and

coincidentally met Charlotte?"

Leanna said, "Yes. So, I wanted to ask you about what's up with him."

"I don't know much about him, but I heard he was dead. After that, whenever anyone in the Woodley Family

mentioned him, it was always a taboo subject. I guess it's probably related to his departure from the Woodley

Family."

"Does Lachlan know about him?"

"He should know about him more than I do. I'll ask him about it and get back to you."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Leanna stood there for a while before going back to find Zoe and entering the

pharmacy together. When they returned to the studio, Charlotte had already changed her clothes and was wiping

her face with water. Leanna called her into the office and took out some iodine and cotton swabs to clean the

wounds on her face.

Charlotte winced in pain, but Leanna comforted, "Just endure a little longer. It will soon be over."

So, Charlotte obediently stayed put.

Leanna continued, "Be careful when you go out later. If you encounter any bad people, shout for help. Aidan has

bodyguards watching over you, and they will know immediately if you're in danger."

However, given today's situation, Leanna still needed to ask Keaton about the matter. In theory, with bodyguards

following Charlotte, nothing should have happened.

"I understand," Charlotte replied.

After tending to Charlotte's wounds, Leanna threw away the cotton swab and said, "Okay, let me take you home."

"But it's not yet time to get off work."

"It's fine. You can have the day off today and go home to rest early."

Charlotte looked dejectedly at Leanna and asked, "Leanna, do you think I'm useless and only causing trouble for

you guys, especially when nothing good ever happens around me?"

Leanna smiled and ruffled her hair. "You're so cute. How could you think that you're useless? What happened today

was just a one-off incident. You've been doing a great job in the studio for the past few days."

Charlotte remained silent and lowered her head, but she was indeed satisfied with her own performance in the

studio these days, except for today.

After a while, she said, "I can go home by myself. I know the way."

Leanna thought for a moment and nodded gently. "Okay, but send me a message when you get home."

"Okay."

Leanna escorted Charlotte to the entrance of the studio and watched her walk away. Then she went to the roadside

and found Keaton's car.

Keaton quickly stepped out of the car and greeted Leanna with a polite "Miss McKinney."

Leanna asked, "Do you guys know about what just happened?"

Keaton nodded, "Our men were following Miss Woodley all along. They happened to miss her at a red light, but

when they caught up, someone had already saved her. They saw that she seemed to know the person well, so they

didn't intervene."

Leanna nodded and added, "The person's name is Joseph Woodley. He's Charlotte's uncle. According to him, he

recently arrived in Highside. I think his target might be Aidan, so please investigate."

Keaton was surprised for a moment but quickly responded, "Understood."

"Charlotte has gone back, so please ask the men following her to be careful and avoid any more incidents like

today."

"Miss McKinney, don't worry. I've already instructed them."

Back at the office, Leanna had just sat down when Zoe came over and asked, "Has Charlotte left?"

"Yes, she has left," Leanna replied.

"She was probably really shaken today. She needs to go home and rest," Zoe added. "Anyway, I won't disturb you

anymore. I'll go and see if there's anything I can help with."

After Zoe left, Leanna leaned back in her chair, rubbed her temples, and took out her phone. She scrolled through

the recent photos Waylen had sent of the little guy.

In the photos, her son looked visibly healthier and had gained quite a bit of weight since the last time she saw him.

He had also grown quite a bit.

As she flipped through each photo, her mood gradually improved.

Before long, Leanna felt her motivation return. She picked up her pencil and continued sketching.

About half an hour later, Charlotte messaged her to say she had arrived home.

After replying to Charlotte's message, Leanna put her phone aside.

When she looked up again, it was already dark outside and it was raining lightly.

Leanna packed up her things and left the office. She saw Zoe lounging on the couch, flipping through magazines,

and when she heard Leanna's footsteps, she turned around and said, "Nana, have you finished? They've all gone

home. I saw how focused you were on drawing, so I didn't want to interrupt."

Leanna said, "Let's go."

As soon as they left the studio, Leanna's phone rang. It was Waylen calling.

Leanna motioned for Zoe to wait as she stood under the eaves to answer the call.

Waylen said, "I think I have a handle on what's going on, but the situation is complicated. Are you free to talk now?"
