Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 305

When Gordon had stormed off in a huff, Jonathan knocked on the door of the president's office.

Aidan got up and walked to the desk. "Come in."

Jonathan entered the office and placed a document on the desk. "Mr. Pearson, this is the minutes of the meeting and some documents for you to sign."

Aidan gave a nonchalant hum.

Jonathan couldn't resist his curiosity and inquired, "Why does Old Mr. Pearson want to arrange a date for you out of the blue..."

Aidan snorted at his remark and flipped through the documents on the desk while quipping leisurely, "Why else? He's worried that once Leanna is proven to be a member of the Crossley Family, she will team up with me to deal with him. So, of course, he's on pins and needles now."

"He got the news so quickly..."

Aidan narrowed his dark eyes slightly and didn't say anything.

Gordon must have been watching Crossley Group's bidding session at all times and wanted to take advantage of any weak points he could find, so it was not surprising at all that he would receive the news so fast.

"Have you found Jethro?" Aidan asked.

Jonathan lowered his head, chagrined. "No... He's very good at hiding. We've placed spies in various underground casinos, but he never appears as if he could sense our presence."

Aidan pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. "Forget it, then. Find out how he escaped from prison. He shouldn't be able to do this all by himself."

"Are you saying that someone is helping him?"

"He couldn't have disappeared for no reason. If he had been able to control himself from gambling, he wouldn't have messed up his life to his extent."

"I'll make sure to investigate this matter." Jonathan nodded slightly.

"Hang on."

Aidan's voice echoed behind him as soon as he turned around.

"Yes, Mr. Pearson. Is there anything else?"

Aidan licked his lips and said, "Don't tell Leanna about this."
