Chapter 26

Chapter 26 She Never Got Pregnant Again At this moment, Aidan shut his eyes and interruptedJonathan, “That’s enough.” Earlier on, he had already guessed the whole story after hearing thedisgusting words from Jethro. Jonathan then tactfully zipped his mouth. “Why didn’t you tell me aboutthis earlier?” To that, he responded, “You signed the divorce papers with Madam the day after you toldme to investigate the matter.

That afternoon, I reminded you about it… But you said that the two of you were divorced, so anythingto do with her was unrelated to you at all.” Back then, Aidan was completely taken over by fury andeven the act of hearing Leanna’s name irritated him. As such, he did not bother to listen to whatJonathan had to say. After quite some time, Aidan slowly voiced out, “Inform Lux Jewelry that anyone—regardless of their position—who performs well in this fashion show will receive support in their careerfrom Pearson Group.”

I owe her for this matter from three years ago, hence this is what I’ll do to compensate her. Whatever itis though, she did fabricate a pregnancy report and force me into marrying her, so that’s somethingthat’s irrevocable. … In less than two days after the saga of unexpected gifts, Lux Jewelry was onceagain in a buzz. “Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! President Pearson’s so infatuated with Mia. I can’t believethat he actually resorted to all this for her!” “This is such a lucrative reward! He’s offered to providesupport in our career with the help of Pearson Group! That means we would get to choose the bestresources available. President Pearson is outrightly trying to support Mia to achieve the highestposition. This is so sweet of him.” Someone else suggested otherwise, “Well, this statement mentionedthat it would apply to any person in any position, so it doesn’t necessarily point to Mia.

Everyone involved in this fashion show would be a possible candidate.” “No one would believe such ablatant excuse. It’s clearly just an excuse came up by those capitalists to appease the public. PresidentPearson has been providing our company with so many benefits all this while for Mia’s sake and it’squite clear to everyone.” Meanwhile, as the news spread to the editor’s office, Harvey remained silentfor quite some time. He had been in contact with Mia several times, but he did not like her at all; he wasperplexed as to why Aidan was so infatuated with her. However, here lay the issue; if Aidan was topersist in his actions, no one would be able to resist or reject him. Soon enough, Mia would likelybecome a permanent fixture at Lux Jewelry. Zoe had just completed a shoot when she heard of thismatter.

Enraged, she felt that the despicable couple was starting to step over the line. Since she realized thatthis would solely benefit Mia, she did not bother to let Leanna know about this frustrating matter. ……… Ever since Aidan had specifically instructed Leanna to repay two million within a month, she hadbeen busy coming up with solutions over the past few days. She refused to lose her remaining bit ofself-esteem, which was why she agreed to his words without any hesitation. However, reality strikedand she realized that two million was an overbearing figure for her. There was no way she could comeup with that much money in such a short time. The contract she signed with Lux Jewelry specified thatshe would be bound to the company and in return, she would receive six hundred thousand a year.

As such, this indicated that she would not be able to take up any other freelance jobs outside.Furthermore, she could not possibly request an advance in wages that amounted to the work for thenext few years after freshly signing her contract. After a long while of calmness and consideration, shefinally came up with a decision. However, before she could actually enforce the matter, she suddenlyreceived a friend request notification. As she glanced at the familiar cool-tone profile picture, she wasperceptive about the situation.

There could only be one reason why Aidan had added her again after blocking her for some time. Mydebt. In actuality, she felt rather frustrated about the situation. Ever since their divorce, she no longerwanted to be entangled with him. She realized that she had to repay the money she owed him, but atthe same time, she was afraid her baby secret might be discovered if they were to keep in contactfrequently. However, if she refused to approve his friend request, then it might seem that she was tryingto default on the debt. After more than half an hour, Leanna finally approved his friend request with thecatch that they would only be able to communicate via messaging, thanks to her change of settings.She was prepared to block him as soon as she repaid the money. On the other end, Aidan was seatedat the dining table at home when he noticed Leanna’s profile picture reappear on his chat list. “I seework has been quite relaxing for you lately, so you should come home more often during your sparetime. I don’t like having to call you repeatedly just to get you to return.” His eyes were glued onto hisphone as he tried to think of something to send to her.

He wanted to replace a way to remind that ungrateful woman that she could actually beg help from him.Meanwhile, Gordon noticed that Aidan had been completely ignoring his words all this time. “Aidan! I’mtalking to you right now. Did you hear me?” he growled. Subsequently, Aidan placed his phone face-down atop the table and took a sip of the water in front of him. “I heard you,” he replied as calmly as hecould. Gordon’s anger simmered upon noticing his grandson’s indifferent attitude. However, he waswary of the power Aidan held at the moment, so he did not dare to speak harshly at Aidan. In the end,he changed the topic instead. “You should carefully consider the matter that I mentioned to you. You’returning thirty soon; you’re not exactly young, so you should think about your future. It’s just nice thatyou’ve divorced Leanna. Anyway, she’s not worthy of carrying a child for the Pearson Family.

This time, you have to choose a well-reputed…” “I don’t plan on having kids.” The shocked Gordonyelled angrily, “What did you just say?!” However, Aidan maintained a calm voice. “I don’t care who Imarry, but I don’t plan on having kids.” “What sort of nonsense is this?! How could you possibly nothave kids?!” “To me, kids are just accessories to parents and not a necessity in life. If you’re that keenon kids, then you can have another one yourself.” After Aidan said that, he did not even bother to cast

eyes on Gordon before he rose to his feet and left. Meanwhile, the old man panted furiously while onthe brink of collapsing. After Aidan had walked out of the front door, Sienna Zielinski, who had beensilent all this while, placed her cutlery down and wiped her mouth gracefully before sneering, “It lookslike your wish is not going to come true.”

For the past few years, Gordon had developed a notion of grooming another successor ever sinceAidan had taken over Pearson Group and became harder to rein in. Ironically, Gordon was also wary ofAidan as he did not want to arrange a political marriage for him; he was afraid that Aidan would gainmore power and dominance from that, which would inevitably become harder for Gordon to control him.As such, when Leanna appeared with the pregnancy report, Gordon, who had been in a dilemma,finally saw hope. That was also why the Pearsons did not even bother to validate the authenticity ofLeanna’s pregnancy as it was not important at all. In other words, even if she was not pregnant,Gordon did not mind helping her to hide the truth until she was impregnated for real. After all, it wouldjust be a matter of time for a newly wedded couple. However, he clearly did not expect what was aboutto happen next, which eventually led Leanna to not get pregnant anymore.

After Sienna left to head upstairs, Gordon remained lost in thoughts with a furrowed look. At thatmoment, he seemed even more convinced that it was the wrong decision to bring Aidan back to thefamily. After all, Aidan was an unrestrained horse and there was no predicting on what he would do. Onhis way back, Jonathan asked, “President Pearson, do you wish to head back to Castor Villa?” Aidanshut his eyes and grunted yes. Jonathan noticed his weary look and asked probingly, “Should I askMadam where she bought the painkiller? The one that’s always readily available in our medication kit.”
