Chapter 72

Over at the president's office, Aidan opened the kraft paper bag and took out the documents within. After skimming through it with his eyes, he tossed it on the coffee table, and someone knocked on the door a few minutes later.

"President Pearson, the directors have all left separately," Jonathan reported.

"Okay," Aidan answered softly. "Send someone to keep an eye on them. The old man won't give up."

"Got it."

The moves Gordon made were very obvious now, and it could be said that the power-siege had reached a never before seen stage. Any sudden and unexpected situation could change the outcome of this in the end.

A short while after Jonathan left Aidan's office, the head of the security department came to him anxiously. "Mr. Stoll, there's a situation."

"What happened?"

The head of department took out a cell phone and showed him a surveillance clip.

This surveillance camera was set up a bit further away outside the main entrance of Pearson Group, but with a wider view. Even though the faces of the people couldn't be seen clearly, Jonathan could recognize Leanna's outfit from this evening with just one look, as well as Jethro, whose head was wrapped in bandages and had been hanging around outside the building for a few days.

Without further ado, Jonathan grabbed the cell phone and dashed into the president's office.

An annoyed Aidan lifted his eyes and was about to say something when Jonathan said anxiously, "President Pearson, Madam has been taken away by Jethro McKinney!"

In an instant, Aidan's expression became solemn and he rose to his feet as he headed out. "When did this happen?"

"Ten minutes ago."
