I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 277

Chapter 277

Hearing Aidan's complaint, Leanna thought she was a terrible sinner for a split second. She muttered, "You always come to me when you wanna meet me, though. When you don't, it's obvious that you're busy with something. So, why should I waste the time to go to you?"

He paused for a moment before asking, "Have you seen the latest news?"

"Yeah."

"I'm dealing with Crossley Group at the moment, so I'll be busy for a period of time."

"Oh," responded Leanna.

He added, "If you really miss me, you can find me in Pearson Group."

She was at a loss for words. "Thank you for the offer, but I don't."

"Fine." Aidan snorted lightly from the other side of the line and ended the call.

Leanna put down her phone and checked the time.

It's 11.00PM. Is that b*stard still at work?

She tossed and turned in bed as she could not sleep. Half an hour later, she suddenly lifted the blanket and got up from bed. After grabbing a coat from the wardrobe, she left the house.

Despite the empty streets, the street lights shone brightly.

Soon, the car stopped at Pearson Group. She alighted from the car and stood at the entrance. Feeling the cold breeze brushing across her face, she could feel herself fully awake.

It's reckless of me to come here just like this.

She walked to the street and fished out her phone to call a cab, yet her fingers did not touch the screen in the end. After a few seconds of hesitation, she thrusted her gadget into her pocket and turned around to head into the building.

At the same time, Jonathan was reporting in the president's office at Pearson Group. "President Pearson, we've lost track of the person, but I'm sure that William has him."

Aidan's fingers tapped on the table lightly as his eyes narrowed. No one knew could read through his head.

"Mr. Crossley is still trying to find out who the mastermind is. He doesn't know a thing about Daniel and William."

Aidan chuckled lightly. "They fully prepared themselves before this. He won't know no matter how much he tries."

Given the situation, William's cooperation with the Pearson Group was actually an excuse for him to return to Highside.

"Old Master Pearson has called off the engagement with the Crossley Family. He must be trying to cut ties with them in order to not ask for more trouble."

The corner of Aidan's lips curled and his expression remained sharp. A few seconds later, he questioned, "What about Sienna?"

"Mrs. Pearson is going to take action soon. We're ready too."

Aidan hummed in response.

Jonathan added, "Right. One more thing, President Pearson."

"Say it."

"About the cigarette bud brought by Madam's younger brother, we've sent it for a DNA test. It's Jethro."

Aidan's brows creased slightly. "Jethro?"

Jonathan nodded. "Regarding the accident, the prison management stated that the fire was because of their escape, but it's kinda vague. All of the bodies were burnt and there's no evidence that leads to Jethro's death."

At that moment, someone knocked on the door and Jonathan stopped to open the door. He was surprised to see Leanna. "Miss McKinney?"

Her expression was serious. "I have something to say to President Pearson. Is he here?"

"Yes, he is." He made way for her immediately. "President Pearson, I'll take my leave to verify the things that I've just reported."

Once the door was closed, she took two steps forward. "Are you busy, President Pearson? I have something to tell you."

Reclining in his office chair, Aidan raised his eyebrow. "It depends."

Words failed her.

He rose to his feet and walked to the lounge before seating himself on the couch with crossed legs. "What's the matter?"

She pursed her lips. "I figure you're the person who knows more about the Crossley Family, so I'm here."

"And what do you wanna know?"

"I…" His question stunned Leanna, for it was merely a made-up excuse. She was not interested in that.

It took her a while to say something. "Anything."

"The engagement between the Pearson Family and them has been called off," responded Aidan.

Based on his attitude, she assumed he would bring up the Crossley Group's contemporary situation. That information was out of her expectation, but it did pique her interest.
