Chapter 40 Nobody Can Control Me Aidan didn’t want the children, and he was about to lose his leverage, but luckily, a golden opportunity—the Barnett Family—was right in front of his eyes. He had no intention of passing up this opportunity that had come knocking on his door. “Uncle Gordon!” Holding her arm, Sienna assured. “Anna, don’t worry. There’s always a solution for all problems.”

 

Knowing Aidan’s personality, Gordon wanted to facilitate the Pearson-Barnett marriage because it was the most important thing right now. So, he spoke to him in a conciliatory tone. “Aidan, no matter what, Anna is your sister. If you do this, what position do you put her and the Pearsons in?” “I don’t have a younger sister. You should know this the best,” Aidan answered calmly. “What nonsense are you saying?” Gordon snapped angrily. Then, Sienna interjected in time. “Aidan, we don’t owe you anything.

 

As the heir of the Pearsons, you’ve received everything we can give you. Now, I only want Anna to be married into the Barnett Family with dignity.

The expression on Aidan’s face was icy and indifferent, and his eyes had a hint of sarcasm in them. As he was getting ready to go, Justin called out to him in a friendly tone, “Aidan, come talk to me.” In the garden, Justin sat in his wheelchair and pruned the plants

I’m blessed to be alive.” Leaning on the stone fence, Aidan lit up a cigarette between his lips without saying anything. Unlike Aidan, whom Gordon and Sienna tried to control in the beginning for their own interests until they realized he couldn’t be placed under their control and tried to reduce his influence while looking for someone else to replace him, Justin knew he was hopeless for that position after he became paralyzed, and he had always taken it so
