Although the article did not explicitly state the identity of the business mogul whom Leanna was
involved with, it was evident that the person was powerful and influential; even Lux Magazine would
shy away from offending him. This also explained why all the scandals concerning her were easily
taken down, which highlighted how much effort Lux put in to protect her image.
The situation only continued to heat up after the news broke out. Subsequently, an anonymous user
claimed to know everything about the incident and stated the photograph was taken at the famous
Pearson Family Estate.
By then, there were already tons of comments with one even stating they were the employees of Lux
Magazine and witnessed a wealthy-looking woman visiting Leanna at the company before.
Judging from the description of the comment, it could very well be talking about Sienna based on past
events.
Following that, there was a comment about the illegitimacy of the child, which then spurred the
discussion about which Pearson the baby belonged to. In the midst of it, another person mentioned that
the child was not the one and only illegitimate member of the family.
It was already 10.00PM when Leanna caught wind of all this.
Zoe was the one who informed her of this.
Now that the incident has been blown out of proportion, Pearson Group’s stock price must be affected
to a degree.
Gulping, Zoe said fearfully, “Leanna, will they dump all the blaming onto you? Are you able to escape?
Should I call the police to save you?”
Leanna thought the whole thing was strange as the scandal seemed to only target her at first before
suddenly bringing up the topic of illegitimacy.
Yet, everyone in the Pearsons including Leanna knew clearly that this very topic was the biggest
division and barrier put in between Aidan and his family, which essentially was the root of the problem.
Shaking her head at the thought of this, Leanna replied, “Please keep up with the situation out there
and hit me up if anything happens.”
She then continued after a pause, “And… look out for Louis too.”
“Okay.” Regardless, Zoe was still worried about her. “How about you send me a message as a safety
notice every couple of hours? This way, I can ensure that they didn’t do anything to you.”
“Alright.”
Just before they hung up, Zoe asked, “Oh right, how does Aidan plan to handle this?”
Leanna shook her head. “I don’t know. He went to the company early this morning. He still hasn’t
returned yet.”
Zoe replied, “Okay, then. I’ll ask my friend regarding the situation at Pearson Group. I’ll tell you if any
news comes up.”
Subsequently, Leanna had just hung up when she heard a huge commotion coming from the study
downstairs.
It sounded like Gordon was smashing things out of anger.
Holding tightly onto her phone, she calmed herself down and opened the door.
Before she was about to head downstairs, she bumped into Justin.
“Leanna, where are you going?” asked Justin.
Pursing her lips, she replied, “This whole incident happened because of me, so I thought—”
“Leanna, you’re overthinking this. It’s not your fault.”
It was then that Leanna’s phone rang.
The caller was Aidan.
She hesitated before picking it up as Aidan’s cold voice sounded, “Stay in your room. Don’t you go
anywhere. This incident doesn’t have anything to do with you.”
She was caught off guard for a moment.
Did he install a bug on me?
After Aidan finished his statement, he hung up without even waiting for her reply.
Seeing Leanna’s hand slowly drop from her ear, Justin smiled. “That was Aidan, right?”
She nodded in response.
“You should listen to him. He’ll handle everything.”
Upon hearing his words, Leanna did not utter another word before returning to her room.
In reality, she knew that she could not be of help anyway. At worst, she would only be treated as a
punching doll.
Still, this incident is too strange… Everything seems to be connected. How puzzling.
…
After locating Sienna in the garden, Justin called out for her after watching her from behind for quite
some time, “Mom.”
Turning around, she did not seem at all surprised at his appearance. “It’s already so late. Is there
anything?”
“You’re the one who incited all this drama about Aidan, am I right?”
To that, she only smiled. “There are no secrets that can’t be revealed. Perhaps, this is what the
universe wants.”
Frustrated, he replied, “Things have already blown out of proportion at this point, so why are you
making it worse?”
“Worse? I thought that it could go even worse than this! After being wronged for so many years, don’t
you think it is only right for me to stand up for you? Besides, I wasn’t the one who planned this; all I did
was fan the flames,” Sienna told the truth as she indeed was not the mastermind behind this.
To her, the truth about Aidan’s illegitimacy not only concerned the reputation of the Pearsons but also
her image and dignity. As such, she had been dreaming for this day to arrive for the past decades.
Lucky for her, she did not have to be the one who ignited the flames. All she needed to do was to give
the heated discussion a little bit of push and direction.
“What’s the point of doing all this? Does it change anything?” asked Justin.
“Even if it doesn’t change a thing, I don’t want him to have an easy life either.” Standing up, Sienna
stated, “I would appreciate it if you can stay out of this. I will deal with it as I see fit.”
Standing in a dark corner was Anna who was biting her lips.
Aidan is actually Uncle Gordon’s illegitimate child! So, that means that he and I are not related at all!
He’s not even my cousin!
No wonder Aunt Sienna disliked him since he was young. I always thought that she was just biased
toward Justin due to his disability.
It was then that she realized why Justin was referred as a brother to her while Aidan was only a cousin.
This is all because he’s a b*stard.
If so, then I won’t have to be afraid of anything anymore.
Slipping away, Anna went to Leanna’s door on the first floor with a piercing gaze.
…
Facing the scandal, everyone at Pearson Group felt like they were walking on needles.
At that point, nobody had the time to care about the backer of Lux Magazine’s designer or the father of
the child inside her.
What they cared about now was the concerning rumors surrounding their president, which stated that
he might be an illegitimate child.
Oftentimes, the stranger the tales of the rich, the more curious the public.
In the president’s office, Jonathan felt that this was the biggest challenge of his career yet as cold
sweat covered his back. “President Pearson, I can’t seem to suppress the trending topics. There are
also way too many negative comments. I am unable to delete them all…”
However, Aidan was not in the least bit of shock or fear as he casually skimmed through the scandals
and asked, “Have you found the whistleblower from the start?”
“I haven’t…” Jonathan replied quietly. “The person used a fake identity. Also, the IP address originated
from an illegal internet cafe. Surveillance cameras from that nearby area also did not manage to
capture the perpetrators’ face.”
Hearing this, Aidan uttered, “Leanna sure made a heck lot of enemies since we divorced for only half a
year now.”
Not ready to risk his life yet, Jonathan kept silent.
