At this moment, Aidan shut his eyes and interrupted Jonathan, "That's enough." Earlier on, he had
already guessed the whole story after hearing the disgusting words from Jethro.
Jonathan then tactfully zipped his mouth.
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
To that, he responded, "You signed the divorce papers with Madam the day after you told me to
investigate the matter. That afternoon, I reminded you about it… But you said that the two of you were
divorced, so anything to do with her was unrelated to you at all."
Back then, Aidan was completely taken over by fury and even the act of hearing Leanna's name
irritated him. As such, he did not bother to listen to what Jonathan had to say.
After quite some time, Aidan slowly voiced out, "Inform Lux Jewelry that anyone—regardless of their
position—who performs well in this fashion show will receive support in their career from Pearson
Group." I owe her for this matter from three years ago, hence this is what I'll do to compensate her.
Whatever it is though, she did fabricate a pregnancy report and force me into marrying her, so that's
something that's irrevocable.
…
In less than two days after the saga of unexpected gifts, Lux Jewelry was once again in a buzz.
"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! President Pearson's so infatuated with Mia. I can't believe that he actually
resorted to all this for her!"
"This is such a lucrative reward! He's offered to provide support in our career with the help of Pearson
Group! That means we would get to choose the best resources available. President Pearson is
outrightly trying to support Mia to achieve the highest position. This is so sweet of him."
Someone else suggested otherwise, "Well, this statement mentioned that it would apply to any person
in any position, so it doesn't necessarily point to Mia. Everyone involved in this fashion show would be
a possible candidate."
"No one would believe such a blatant excuse. It's clearly just an excuse came up by those capitalists to
appease the public. President Pearson has been providing our company with so many benefits all this
while for Mia's sake and it's quite clear to everyone."
Meanwhile, as the news spread to the editor's office, Harvey remained silent for quite some time. He
had been in contact with Mia several times, but he did not like her at all; he was perplexed as to why
Aidan was so infatuated with her.
However, here lay the issue; if Aidan was to persist in his actions, no one would be able to resist or
reject him. Soon enough, Mia would likely become a permanent fixture at Lux Jewelry.
Zoe had just completed a shoot when she heard of this matter. Enraged, she felt that the despicable
couple was starting to step over the line. Since she realized that this would solely benefit Mia, she did
not bother to let Leanna know about this frustrating matter.
……
…
Ever since Aidan had specifically instructed Leanna to repay two million within a month, she had been
busy coming up with solutions over the past few days.
She refused to lose her remaining bit of self-esteem, which was why she agreed to his words without
any hesitation.
However, reality striked and she realized that two million was an overbearing figure for her. There was
no way she could come up with that much money in such a short time.
The contract she signed with Lux Jewelry specified that she would be bound to the company and in
return, she would receive six hundred thousand a year. As such, this indicated that she would not be
able to take up any other freelance jobs outside. Furthermore, she could not possibly request an
advance in wages that amounted to the work for the next few years after freshly signing her contract.
After a long while of calmness and consideration, she finally came up with a decision.
However, before she could actually enforce the matter, she suddenly received a friend request
notification.
As she glanced at the familiar cool-tone profile picture, she was perceptive about the situation. There
could only be one reason why Aidan had added her again after blocking her for some time. My debt.
In actuality, she felt rather frustrated about the situation. Ever since their divorce, she no longer wanted
to be entangled with him. She realized that she had to repay the money she owed him, but at the same
time, she was afraid her baby secret might be discovered if they were to keep in contact frequently.
However, if she refused to approve his friend request, then it might seem that she was trying to default
on the debt.
After more than half an hour, Leanna finally approved his friend request with the catch that they would
only be able to communicate via messaging, thanks to her change of settings. She was prepared to
block him as soon as she repaid the money.
On the other end, Aidan was seated at the dining table at home when he noticed Leanna's profile
picture reappear on his chat list.
"I see work has been quite relaxing for you lately, so you should come home more often during your
spare time. I don't like having to call you repeatedly just to get you to return."
His eyes were glued onto his phone as he tried to think of something to send to her. He wanted to find
a way to remind that ungrateful woman that she could actually beg help from him.
Meanwhile, Gordon noticed that Aidan had been completely ignoring his words all this time. "Aidan! I'm
talking to you right now. Did you hear me?" he growled.
Subsequently, Aidan placed his phone face-down atop the table and took a sip of the water in front of
him. "I heard you," he replied as calmly as he could.
Gordon's anger simmered upon noticing his grandson's indifferent attitude. However, he was wary of
the power Aidan held at the moment, so he did not dare to speak harshly at Aidan. In the end, he
changed the topic instead. "You should carefully consider the matter that I mentioned to you. You're
turning thirty soon; you're not exactly young, so you should think about your future. It's just nice that
you've divorced Leanna. Anyway, she's not worthy of carrying a child for the Pearson Family. This time,
you have to choose a well-reputed…"
"I don't plan on having kids."
The shocked Gordon yelled angrily, "What did you just say?!"
However, Aidan maintained a calm voice. "I don't care who I marry, but I don't plan on having kids."
"What sort of nonsense is this?! How could you possibly not have kids?!"
"To me, kids are just accessories to parents and not a necessity in life. If you're that keen on kids, then
you can have another one yourself." After Aidan said that, he did not even bother to cast eyes on
Gordon before he rose to his feet and left.
Meanwhile, the old man panted furiously while on the brink of collapsing.
After Aidan had walked out of the front door, Sienna Zielinski, who had been silent all this while, placed
her cutlery down and wiped her mouth gracefully before sneering, "It looks like your wish is not going to
come true."
For the past few years, Gordon had developed a notion of grooming another successor ever since
Aidan had taken over Pearson Group and became harder to rein in.
Ironically, Gordon was also wary of Aidan as he did not want to arrange a political marriage for him; he
was afraid that Aidan would gain more power and dominance from that, which would inevitably become
harder for Gordon to control him.
As such, when Leanna appeared with the pregnancy report, Gordon, who had been in a dilemma,
finally saw hope. That was also why the Pearsons did not even bother to validate the authenticity of
Leanna's pregnancy as it was not important at all.
In other words, even if she was not pregnant, Gordon did not mind helping her to hide the truth until
she was impregnated for real. After all, it would just be a matter of time for a newly wedded couple.
However, he clearly did not expect what was about to happen next, which eventually led Leanna to not
get pregnant anymore.
After Sienna left to head upstairs, Gordon remained lost in thoughts with a furrowed look. At that
moment, he seemed even more convinced that it was the wrong decision to bring Aidan back to the
family. After all, Aidan was an unrestrained horse and there was no predicting on what he would do.
On his way back, Jonathan asked, "President Pearson, do you wish to head back to Castor Villa?"
Aidan shut his eyes and grunted yes.
Jonathan noticed his weary look and asked probingly, "Should I ask Madam where she bought the
painkiller? The one that's always readily available in our medication kit."
