Chapter 58

Fight Meanwhile, at Patheon Club, Oscar walked into the private room to replace Aidan nursing a drinkalone. The room was so silent he could almost hear a pin drop. He sat down opposite Aidan andpoured himself a glass as he asked, “What happened?” Aidan said nothing. When Oscar spottedAidan’s busted lip, he snorted. He got the picture without having to ask any further. They drank insilence for some time before Oscar asked at last, “Is it that hard for you to admit that you like her?”

Aidan’s hand froze mid-air, still holding his glass. He threw Oscar an icy stare. “What are you talkingabout?” “It doesn’t matter what I’m saying. It matters what your heart’s thinking. You keep saying thatyou hate your ex-wife, but everything you do screams otherwise.” “That’s not true.” “Then, why did youget someone to keep an eye on Zayn Barnett?” After a pause, Aidan stated coolly, “She tried herhardest to get a divorce so that she could marry into the Barnett Family. Do you think I should just lether get her way?” Oscar had nothing to say in response. There was no use trying to convince someonewho was lying to themselves.

… As soon as Anna returned to the Pearson Family Estate, she went straight to her room and started arampage. Soon, the floor was littered with fragile items. The servants gathered outside the door. Noneof them had the courage to go in to stop her, so they decided to inform Sienna about it. Sienna frownedwhen she heard what the servants told her. “Who pissed her off this time?” “I’m not sure. It started assoon as Miss Anna got home.” “Is Old Master Pearson back yet?” “Not yet.” Sienna nodded inacknowledgment and got to her feet. “I’ll go and take a look. Get a few servants to clean up her room.”

Anna’s temper had grown wilder over the past few years. When it came down to it, she was not truly aPearson, so Gordon was less than keen to put up with her. He probably would have chased her out ofthe house by now, if not for the marriage alliance with the Barnetts. When Sienna came to Anna’s roomand saw the horrid mess, she felt a headache coming on. “What’s going on?” The moment Anna sawher, she began to wail. “Aunt Sienna…” she called out aggrievedly. “Stop crying and tell me whathappened.”

“I went to see Zayn today, but that woman was pestering him again.” Sienna’s expression soured atonce. “What woman?” “That… Aidan won’t let me say,” Anna mumbled. “You’re not going to tell me justbecause he said not to? Don’t come crying to me then.” “I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you, Aunt Sienna.” Anna bither lip and added, “It was Leanna McKinney.” “Why was she pestering him?” Sienna frowned. “I don’tknow why… Ever since she divorced Aidan, she’s been hanging around Zayn all the time. I don’t knowwhat’s gotten into Aidan either. I just said some things about that woman and he scolded me for it.”

“They’re birds of a feather,” Sienna snorted. “Aunt Sienna—” “Enough of that,” Sienna cut her off.“Anna, you’re not a little girl anymore. You should learn to hold your temper. How do you expect Zaynto like you if you continue to act this way once you’re married to him?” Anna’s eyes lit up at once.“Does this mean you’ll help me, Aunt Sienna?” “Don’t concern yourself with all these unnecessarythings. Just focus on preparing for your future wedding.” “Thank you, Aunt Sienna!” After exiting Anna’sroom, Sienna instructed the servants who stood in wait outside, “Hurry up and get her room all cleanedup.”

Sienna was just about to leave when Justin popped up from around the corner. He asked softly, “Mom,are you really planning on marrying Anna off to the Barnetts?” “Under the circumstances, do you thinkhe’d agree if I decide against the marriage now?” Sienna asked. “Aidan’s the best candidate to become

the next company president. I’ll talk to Dad about this.” “Don’t you understand? He doesn’t want to replacea successor. He wants to replace a puppet who would do his bidding. You don’t need to trouble yourselfwith this.

Aidan’s just a puppet that is no longer under his command. He doesn’t compare to you at all.” Justinhad a helpless expression on his face. “Mom, no matter what, Aidan is still my brother.” “The likes ofhim? He’s not worthy,” Sienna sneered. He could only sigh. “Don’t bother yourself with all these. Goback to your room and rest,” she said. … Leanna sat wordlessly on the couch while Zoe sat acrossfrom her. She cupped her hands around the cup as she threw furtive glances at Leanna, but she didnot say anything either. It seemed like forever before Leanna finally came out of her spell. “Are youfeeling any better?” she asked slowly. Zoe replied at once, “Yes, a lot better. My head doesn’t hurt at allafter drinking the hangover cure you prepared for me.

” Leanna seemed to be caught up in her thoughts once more as she fell silent again. Zoe scratched herhead. She could not make head or tail of the situation, so she did not know what to say to Leanna.After a few minutes, Leanna said, “Since you’re fine, I’ll head back now. Call me if you need anything.”“Why don’t I go with you?” Zoe was worried about her. “Anthony’s going to keep showing up everycouple of days, so I’ll get some peace and quiet if I stayed with you instead.” Leanna gave it somethought and figured that Zoe had a point. “Sure.” Once they arrived at Leanna’s home, Leanna satdown at her desk to work on her designs. She worked for hours without moving an inch. As for Zoe,she plopped herself down on the couch and had a few snacks before falling asleep.

Once she woke up, she started eating again, and the cycle repeated itself. At midnight, Zoe wasstartled awake by the sound of a phone ringing in the study. She watched as Leanna’s expressionchanged as soon as she answered the phone. Leanna grabbed her jacket and charged out of thestudy. “What’s going on?” Zoe asked. “Louis is at the police station.” “Oh, crap. What happened? I’ll gowith you.” “It’s fine. I’ll go by myself.

On the call, they said that Louis was the victim, so it’s probably nothing major.” “Okay then. Call me ifyou need anything,” Zoe said. Leanna rushed out after nodding in acknowledgment. Once she arrivedat the police station, she saw a few rough-looking men sitting on a bench. All of them looked up withunfriendly gazes once they heard someone coming in. Louis was seated not too far away, and hishandsome face was covered in bruises. She gasped as she walked over. “What happened?” Hefrowned once he saw her. “Why did they call you?” “I’m your sister. Who else are they going to call?”Just then, a police officer walked over with a notebook in hand. “Are you Louis McKinney’s next-of-kin?” Leanna turned around and nodded. “I’m his sister. What happened?”

“Those bunch of men rushed into your brother’s workplace and they got into a fight that turnedphysical,” the police officer stated. “It’s up to you now to see how you plan on resolving this. Do youwish to settle it out of court, or do you want to press charges?” Louis got up all of a sudden. “Let’s justleave it. We don’t need to press charges.” “So sorry about this, but could you please give me a momentto discuss this with him?” Leanna said to the police officer. He nodded and walked off. Leanna pulledLouis aside. “Louis, tell me everything that happened, and don’t leave anything out.”
