Chapter 556

As Gordon listened to his subordinate's report, he scowled, "Where are they?"

"We have brought them here. They are in the back room," answered the subordinate.

Gordon paused in silence for a moment before walking to the back room with his cane.

Meanwhile, Celia was soaked to the bone in the back room and shivered as she huddled in the corner. A mixture of rainwater and blood from her wound was visible on the floor in front of her.

Raymond was sitting in a chair nearby, and while he was wet, he looked much better off than she did. As soon as he heard footsteps coming from beyond the door, he jumped to his feet.

Soon, Gordon appeared at the door. He entered the room and cast a glance at Celia. His hand was tightly gripping his cane in displeasure as he asked, "What happened?"

"Sir, due to our carelessness, she had a chance to escape," one of his subordinates immediately answered.

"You were so careless that you didn't even realize she had run out of the building?" Gordon loudly exclaimed as he slammed his cane down on the ground. "Is this the way that you handle things?"

There was a stunned silence as everyone in the room lowered their heads.

Gordon let out a cold snort and walked over to Celia. "Look at me."

She slowly raised her head to look at him while trembling but quickly ducked her head. Then, her arms were wrapped tightly around her legs as she bit down firmly on her lower lip.

"You risked your life to escape so you could secretly report to Aidan, didn't you?" he asked. "Do you wish for him to kill me?"

"I... That's not it," she replied. "I only wanted President Pearson to save Ms. Fletcher and—"

"Save?" Then, as if he had heard the greatest joke in the world, he continued, "What kind of family do you think the Pearsons are? That child is a Pearson. This is his home! Why did Aidan let someone as stupid as you take care of the boy? You have no sense of priority."

Celia trembled even more, too terrified to say anything after hearing that.

Gordon spun around and glanced at his men. "You're all useless. How can you botch up something so trivial?"

Afterward, he walked towards the door. Then, in an annoyed tone as if he did not want to be bothered again over such a trifling matter, he barked, "In any case, keeping her around is pointless. Since she wants to run away, you will deal with her."

"Yes, sir."

Suddenly, Gordon paused and turned around to look at Raymond before walking out. He pointed at Raymond and said, "You, come here."

"What is your order, Mr. Pearson?" Raymond asked, walking over to Gordon.

















































"You handled this matter well," Gordon said in a deep voice. "I have nothing to reward you with, so why don't you handle this? Keep it clean."

Raymond was shocked to hear that. "Me?"

"What? Scared?"

"Mr. Pearson, I—"

"Enough," Gordon interrupted. "Since you're working for me, you are mine. However, I might not be your only employer. You could also be paid off by other people. I don't trust you. Either you kill her yourself, or neither of you will leave this room alive."

Raymond had not expected Gordon to be so cold and callous.

Nevertheless, it was clear that Gordon was not negotiating with him. Following that, Gordon ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on them before he left the room.

Soon, Raymond furrowed his brow as he turned to look at Celia, and a malicious gleam began to form in his eyes as he slowly approached her.

…

Meanwhile, Leanna was spacing out and deep in thought as she stared out the window at the rain.

"Where's the airship?" Freddie asked, waving his hand in front of her face.

She was speechless as she turned her head to stare at him. After a brief moment, she averted her gaze. "What is it?"

"Did you forget what day it is?" Freddie inquired as he leaned back on the couch.

"What?" Leanna asked, confused.

"It's Aidan's birthday."

She was stunned and replied, "Oh, right." The previous few days had been extremely eventful, and Aidan had been equally occupied, so she had completely forgotten it.
