Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 826

Chapter 826 I Only Care About My Brother

Aidan chuckled under his breath and looked up at him. "President Parker, it's interesting that you're asking me about what your mother did instead of asking her."

Elijah's expression grew even stiffer, and he clenched his teeth before saying, "I went to see her, but she refused to tell me. But as her son, I don't want to investigate her."

"So you want me to investigate your mother, President Parker?"

Elijah remained silent and reluctantly nodded.

"Well, I can do that." Aidan calmly negotiated. "However, I have one condition."

"Tell me."

"You must never appear in front of Leanna again."

Elijah took a deep breath. "You don't have to tell me that. Leanna already did today."

Aidan's lips curled slightly at those words, but he didn't say anything.

After a few seconds, he continued, "One more thing, President Parker. Since you asked me to help you investigate this matter, you have no right to interfere no matter what methods I use or who I consult."

At this point, Elijah had no other choice.

It wasn't like he wanted to investigate this matter to absolve himself or for any other reason. It was because if William found out about this, his mother...

Elijah could only do his best to uncover the truth behind this. If he understood why his mother did what she did, he could help her clean up the mess.

Before leaving, Elijah mentioned, "I have one last question for you."

"Go ahead."

Elijah asked, "I've always felt that you have something against me. I know it's because I like Leanna, but...it's clear that Zayn Barnett holds a bigger place in her heart. And yet, you don't seem to have much hostility toward him."

Aidan's expression remained unchanged. "That's because he knows his boundaries. He only focuses on what he should do and what he wants. He doesn't care about those dirty tricks you pulled."

As Aidan's words fell, Elijah's face turned even paler, and his body trembled slightly.

He admitted that he had deliberately slandered Aidan in order to be with Leanna.

But he had no other choice.

When it came to matters of love, playing tricks didn't seem like that big of a deal.

However, he ended up losing everything.

After a while, Elijah informed him, "After this matter is resolved, I will go to Vinland and won't come back for several years."

He then turned and left, his figure oozing a sense of desolation and loneliness.

He looked somewhat pitiful.

Seeing this, Jonathan approached Aidan with a hint of sympathy on his face. "President Pearson..."

Aidan glanced at him. "Do you want to go to Vinland with him?"

Jonathan instantly snapped out of it. "Let's go upstairs, sir."

...

In the evening, as soon as Zoe closed the door to the studio, she saw an unexpected visitor standing not far away.

She was rendered speechless. "Why did you follow us again?"

Daniel fell silent for a moment before he confessed, "I'm actually here to see Miss McKinney."

Zoe only looked at him without a word.

Leanna didn't need to think to know why he came to find her.

She offered, "Let's go eat. My treat."

Twenty minutes later, they were sitting in a Chinese restaurant.

After Leanna finished ordering and handed the menu to the waiter, she looked at Daniel and asked, "How's your injury? Are you feeling better?"

Daniel took a sip of water from his teacup and nodded. "It's nothing serious."

"What about my father? Is he doing well?"

"He's alright. His workload has decreased a lot, but there's still a lot to do because the headquarters is moving back to Highside."

"How much longer will it take?" Leanna continued.

"At the normal pace, it might be until the end of the year, or maybe early next year if it's delayed."

Leanna's lips lightly pursed. There were still about four months left until the end of the year.

Daniel cleared his throat and glanced at Zoe as if he wanted to say something and seek her help. However, Zoe directly averted her gaze, ignoring the man who looked at her.

Daniel couldn't help but fall silent for a while before saying, "Miss McKinney, there's something I would like to explain to you about Elijah—"

"Elijah already came to see me today, and we've clarified everything that needs to be said."

Daniel shook his head. "He didn't clarify everything. This wasn't his intention. He—"
