Chapter 40

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.

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. Are you against this small request too?"

With his expression remaining unchanged, Aidan said casually, "How will it be dignified when Zayn Barnett doesn't like her?"

"Feelings can be nurtured over time. Back then, weren't you against it as well when your father wanted you to marry Leanna?"

The look on Aidan's face turned a little colder, but he didn't say a thing. He couldn't figure out what Leanna liked about Zayn; while dating her, he was speaking about marriage with another woman. Did she really like to be abused so much?

Right when both parties were in a stalemate with no one willing to give in, a gentle voice that carried a light jovial tone belonging to a man echoed. "Looks like I arrived late. Is the discussion over?"

"Aidan doesn't agree to my marriage," Anna complained in disgruntlement.

Justin was sitting in a wheelchair, and behind him, Georgina was pushing the wheelchair.

When Justin heard this, he was a little surprised, but he quickly smiled again and said, "Anna, he doesn't agree, and there's a good reason for that. Don't make trouble for him here; he has enough trouble taking care of the company.
