Chapter 39

I Don’t Want Anything Else “Speak.” In a straightforward manner, Aidan shot his words in a gruff voice. Leanna licked her lips before asking cautiously, “I just found out that my gastric pills are gone. I wonder if I left it in your office…” “No.” Without waiting for her response, he hung up the phone immediately after his brief reply. She was left speechless by his action. He could have simply declined nicely. Why did the b*stard have to be so obnoxious? Although she deliberately referred to her bottle of folic acid as gastric pills, she could not help but think that the b*stard would infinitely assume she was scheming her way to him again by leaving her bottle of folic acid at his office.

As such, she woke up early the next morning and went back to the cafe and restaurant to inquire again but to no avail. She could only hope her medicine was dropped on her way home. In the afternoon, she was not idle either. Instead, she scheduled some appointments to visit a few houses as she intended to sign a contract to move in today if she found a suitable one. … At the office of Pearson Group, Aidan sneered as the IOU and folic acid pills next to him drew his attention away from the pile of documents.

He was curious to see her expression when she retrieved the ‘gastric pills’ bottle from him as well as to hear some new excuses she could concoct.

 

When the call was answered, a gentle female voice sounded, “Good day, this is Worthington Hotel. How may I assist you?” Hearing that, he raised an eyebrow. Hotel? I thought she was staying at her friend’s house. Why is she in a hotel? Aidan’s expression changed as he considered a particular possibility and his gaze went cold as if a thin layer of frost covered his black pupils. After hanging up the phone, he rose to his feet and exited the office. Not forgetting to bring the medicine, he retraced his steps back to the table and placed it into his pocket after reaching the door initially. Jonathan quickly followed Aidan upon seeing him. “President Pearson…” “We’re going to Lux Jewelry,” Aidan uttered, with his voice slightly taut. “Yes.” In the midst of their journey while Jonathan was driving, he received a call and his expression turned solemn.

With that, the Rolls-Royce made a U-turn and drove toward the Pearson Family Estate. … Georgina was among those who visited the Pearson Family Estate this time, in addition to Zayn’s parents and Carly.

parents. However, both families were well-aware that Anna was just a pawn in chess; what essentially would be facilitated and improved this time was the relationship between the Pearsons and the Barnetts. As a result, it was natural for Gordon and Sienna to emerge and preside over the entire situation. Not to be strange, but this type of political marriage was common among wealthy families. On the other hand, the sweet-mouthed Anna was also well-behaved in front of

He was duped by her!” Anna blurted. “Which woman?
