Chapter 66 Making the Dumbest Choice for Money As he glanced at the front hall with a faint gaze, Aidan said, “The party is about to start.” Then, he moved his legs and made his way toward the second floor. In the meantime, Leanna was utterly confused at his incomprehensible sentence. “President Pearson—” However, Aidan didn’t halt in his tracks. What was more, he walked away without looking back and only left his stern back silhouette facing her. When she saw how the man ignored her, Leanna gritted her teeth.

She then clenched her hand into a fist and followed him. Once they arrived on the second floor, Aidan pushed open the bedroom door and headed straight into the walk-in closet. Leanna followed behind him without any second thoughts. “President Pearson, can you please tell me clearly what happened to my brother? Please, I’m begging you.” To Leanna’s dismay, Aidan didn’t answer her at all. Instead, his finger started moving through the ties he had in the closet as he chose which one he was going to wear to the party. While choosing the right tie, Aidan suddenly parted his lips, making Leanna think he wanted to tell her about Louis. However, he merely said coldly, “This is a private area, miss. Please leave, or I’ll call the police.” In an instant, Leanna became speechless.

At this rate, it was actually merciful of Leanna not to kill Aidan. Is there something wrong with this guy?! “President Pearson, please tell me what happened to my brother. I promise I’ll leave immediately, and I won’t stay around for a second longer.” “Your brother? Tsk! He’s just like you, making the dumbest choice for money.” Automatically, Leanna thought of the card Louis had given her, and the feeling of unease spread in her heart. Presently, she had no time to worry about other things, so she raised her hand and grabbed Aidan’s arm. “President Pearson!” When he felt the woman’s touch, Aidan looked down and glanced at her hand. Meanwhile, Leanna hurriedly withdrew her hand when she saw that. Just as she was about to speak, a tie was handed into her hand. With an indifferent tone, he said, “The

most urgent thing now is the party downstairs.” As she gritted her teeth, Leanna wished she could use this tie to strangle him on the spot. She was helping him with his tie when Aidan’s emotionless gaze fell on her face. “Zayn is about to get engaged today.

He should be very happy to see you here.” The woman couldn’t bear it any longer, and she tightened the tie around him. In response, Aidan’s beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly. Leanna hurriedly adjusted the tie. “I’m sorry. My hands are a little out of practice.” Sure enough, Aidan saw through her little tricks. He sneered, turned around, and took out a skirt from the closet. “Put it on.” Leanna was slightly startled. “Me?” With an impatient look on his face, Aidan said, “Who else? Should I put it on instead?” As she looked at Aidan, Leanna couldn’t help but feel weird about his behavior. Why is this b*stard getting so agitated today? She stayed silent for a while before saying, “President Pearson, I just want to know what happened to my brother. I’ll leave as soon as I get the answer.” “I don’t feel like talking about it now,” Aidan said. Shortly after, he added, “If you don’t have much patience, you can always go straight to your brother and ask him.”

At this point, Leanna was so annoyed that she felt her temples were about to explode. Would I still be here looking at your face if I had gotten an answer from Louis?! After thinking thoroughly, Leanna said, “President Pearson, I don’t wish to go. Can’t you—” Can’t you request something else? As he leaned against the closet, Aidan spoke after a few seconds. “Do you think I want to go?” Leanna was silent. Then, she remembered what Justin had told her not long ago. Suddenly, she realized she had enough reason to suspect that Aidan was dragging her into this, making her his shield that blocked Sienna’s wrath. Leanna said softly, “I can’t wear these dresses.” “All of them are your size.” Leanna explained while blushing, “I-I have gained a few pounds recently.” Aidan looked at her silently for a while. He then sneered and said, “It seems like you’ve been living every aspect of your life well after the divorce.” In truth, Leanna’s arms and legs still looked the same as before.

However, these dresses were well-fitted at the waist, hence her slightly bulging stomach would be very obvious if she wore them. Leanna tugged on her pants and said, “Why don’t I just wear this?” After all, they’re going to laugh at me anyway. It doesn’t matter what I wear, for it’ll only be an added joke for them to talk about. “Suit yourself.” After he finished speaking, Aidan moved his feet and left the room. Meanwhile, Leanna could only keep a certain distance and followed behind him step by step. At this moment, all the guests had gathered in the front hall, and the atmosphere was boisterous. Since there were plenty of people in the hall, Leanna soon lost sight of Aidan’s figure. Looking at the direction he last disappeared to, she parted her lips, wanting to say something. However, she eventually stood in a corner to lower her presence at the party. At that moment, she simply wished that the party could end soon. After thinking about it, she took out her phone and called Louis. However, no one picked up, and she kept being directed to voicemail. Leanna pursed her lips and sent a message to Zoe, asking her to visit Louis’ college. Although Leanna didn’t know what happened to the man, she had a feeling that it wasn’t good news based on the tone in Aidan’s voice earlier. Not long after, Leanna suddenly felt a little acid reflux. It looks like the little guy in my belly is making a fuss again. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Therefore, she went to the washroom on the first floor while no one was paying attention. When Leanna was washing her hands, a girl came by and looked at her several times. Noticing the girl’s constant stares, Leanna couldn’t help but think they were acquaintances. However, she didn’t remember ever seeing her. Hence, she felt that the girl’s behavior was a little inexplicable. When her eyes met with the girl’s, she nodded politely and turned to leave. After she left, Georgina gradually retracted her gaze. At this moment, Carly came over with her big belly. “Gina, what’s taking you so long?” Upon hearing Carly’s voice, Georgina turned around and smiled. “It’s nothing. I just saw something incredible.” Carly sighed. “Say, do you think Zayn and Anna will successfully get engaged today?”

Although today was Sienna’s birthday party, in reality, it was simply a situation that the two families had arranged in advance. Later on, they would announce Zayn and Anna’s engagement in front of all the

guests. The situation was planned in such a way that Zayn didn’t need to agree with the engagement. Moreover, Aidan would also have no way to back down. Even though the two families agreed to the marriage, in truth, the fate of the current Pearson Family still lay in Aidan’s hands. If one could put this marriage in nice terms, it would be a marriage between the Pearson and Barnett Family. However, if one wanted to describe this marriage in more realistic and ugly terms, it would be a collaboration between two companies. After listening to Carly’s concerns, Georgina said, “Since Zayn has shown up to the party today, it means that he has acquiesced.” Even so, Carly still looked exasperated. “Considering the current situation at home, this is already our last resort.” Perhaps the outside world couldn’t see it, but the Barnett Family’s business had obviously been going downhill in the past two years. Even though Douglas had tried a lot of methods, it still didn’t improve the situation much. For that reason, the Barnett Family still disregarded Zayn’s wishes and forcibly agreed to the conditions on Pearson’s side when they saw there was a chance to have an alliance marriage with the Pearson Family this time. Even if they knew about Anna’s arrogant and stubborn nature, they still accepted the Pearson Family’s marriage proposal. Last night, Zayn’s parents called him into their room to have a chat. They reassured him that there was a clear division between interests and feelings in this sort of commercial marriage.

They even told him that he could file for divorce immediately after the cooperative ties were over if he really didn’t have feelings for Anna. Up until now, marriage was nothing but the most superficial and superficial excuse for these rich families to expand their business empires. In fact, whether it was Aidan or Anna, they were nothing more than Gordon’s chess pieces in strengthening his empire. When he could no longer control one chess piece like he was controlling a puppet, he would immediately replace that chess piece with another to achieve his own goal.

After sending Carly back to the party hall, Georgina saw Anna walking toward her with an awful expression on her face just when she wanted to find out where Leanna was. Thus, she asked, “What’s

the matter?” Anna gritted her teeth and said in anger, “That shameless woman is actually here! I swear that she must’ve known about my engagement with Zayn today, so she’s deliberately here to sabotage us! I’d chase her out if not for the fact that Aidan is here!”
