Chapter 207

Chapter 207 Are You Threatening Me? William stood with his back to the car and said, “I’ll be taking my leave now. Thank you for today, President Pearson.” Just as William was about to get into the car, Aidan piped up coolly, “What’s your motive for approaching Leanna, Mr. Morris?” The question caught William by surprise. He was startled and took a moment to respond. “I don’t understand what you mean, President Pearson.” Aidan’s expression was a little cold as he stood there with one hand in his pocket. William chuckled. “I mean no harm to Miss McKinney. I’m just curious about her, and we seem to get along pretty well.” “She’s old enough to be your daughter,” Aidan stated icily. There was silence before Willam cleared his throat and clarified, “You must be mistaken, President Pearson.

I didn’t mean it quite like that. However, you’re right. Miss McKinney is about the same age as my daughter, but—” “You have a daughter, Mr. Morris?” Aidan asked. William’s smile stiffened as he nodded. Just then, William’s driver approached them. “Mr. Morris, we should be going now.” William nodded to Aidan once more. “Goodbye, President Pearson.” “Goodbye, Mr. Morris.” Once William’s car drove off into the distance, Jonathan came forward. “President Pearson.” “Have you gotten to the bottom of the matter yet?” Aidan asked. “I checked with the nearby establishments. That woman started causing a scene yesterday. It sounds like it was over money.” Aidan side-eyed Jonathan. “She wouldn’t have targeted Leanna without any reason. Dig deeper.” “I will.” A few seconds later, Aidan spoke up again. “Any updates from Oscar?” “I’m afraid not… William Morris seems to have a spotless record. There was nothing out of the ordinary.

The only thing that’s peculiar is the fact that we can’t find any information regarding his past in Highside.” Aidan snorted and started walking. “What’s so peculiar about that? He came prepared.” Although William claimed to have made a trip to Highside to conduct business with Pearson Group, it was clearly just an excuse for him to return to the country. His relationship with Mr. Jackson is undoubtedly not as simple as they claim it is. However, what William was up to did not concern Aidan, as long as it did not involve his people. Aidan paused in his footsteps and instructed, “Send a few people to keep an eye on Leanna for the next few days. If anyone looks for her, no matter who it is, I

must be informed at once. Today’s incident must not be repeated.” Jonathan nodded. “I’ll give out the orders right away.” A few moments after settling into the black Rolls-Royce, Jonathan received a call.

He turned around and said, “President Pearson, the Zielinski Family have gone to the Pearson Family Estate. They wish to take Miss Anna with them.” “There’s no need to relay such things to me. Just do what’s supposed to be done,” Aidan said languidly and did not look up. Meanwhile, at the Pearson Family Estate. Anna’s mother announced to the Pearson Family’s staff, “This is my daughter! Why can’t I take her with me? Are you telling me that Aidan has the right to stop me from taking my own daughter home with me?” She immediately tried to leave while tugging Anna with her. However, none of the men moved out of the way for her. “Do you think you’re above the law? Do you think Aidan has the world under his command?” Anna’s mother hissed. One of the men replied, “President Pearson has given his orders. Miss Anna knows very well what she did.” “What gives you the right to get involved, regardless of what she’s done? Who do you think you are anyway?

I’m taking her with me today. Anyone who tries to hurt her will have to get through me first!” Anna, who was standing beside her, tugged on her sleeve. “Mom, why don’t we forget about it—” “What do you mean forget about it?” Anna’s mother fumed. “He’s just a b*stard child. You guys might be scared of him, but I’m not. If he has a problem with this, he can take it up with me!” Just as both parties were at a stalemate, Sienna came over with Justin. “Let them leave,” Justin said. The staff nodded at him in greeting before saying, “Mr. Justin, President Pearson gave us an order. I’m afraid we can’t go against his word.” Justin chuckled. “I know what Aidan’s intentions are, but if Anna goes home, I can promise that she won’t cause any more trouble.” The men hesitated without saying anything. “If you’re still unconvinced, I can give Aidan a call right now,” Justin added. “That won’t be necessary, Mr. Justin.” The men stepped aside and allowed Anna and her mother through.

They knew that even though Aidan was somewhat estranged from the Pearsons, he had a pretty good relationship with Justin. Aidan rarely disagreed with anything Justin said. Anna’s mother threw a glance at Justin, but she didn’t say anything. She pulled Anna along with her and headed out the door toward the car. Just when Anna was about to sigh in relief on the assumption that everything was over, a black Rolls-Royce pulled up right beside them. She shrieked and hid behind her mother. The car door opened and Aidan stepped out. His cold, intimidating eyes fell upon Anna, who was cowering behind her mother. Anna’s mother immediately wrapped her arms around Anna. “Aidan Pearson, whatever it is, take it up with me. Why are you going after a child?” “A child?” Aidan sneered icily after hearing that. Anna was petrified as she clung tightly to her mother’s sleeve. However, he didn’t pursue the matter as he merely stated, “You can take Anna with you today, but if I ever see her again, or if I ever find out about where she has gone to, then it won’t be as simple as losing a leg.” “Are you threatening me?” Anna’s mother retorted disbelievingly. “It’s just a reminder.” “I can’t believe you have the audacity to say that, Aidan! You’re just a b*stard child!

Do you really think everyone’s afraid of you? I’m telling you right now—in my eyes, you and your mother, that mistress, are deplorable! Well, birds of a feather flock together, huh? It’s not surprising you went after an equally despicable woman!” Everything went eerily silent after her rebuke. All that could be heard was the rustling from the chilly wind. Aidan was unfazed. He simply stood there quietly and smirked. No one knew what he was thinking. It was Justin who broke the silence gravely. “Aunty, it’s one thing for Anna to be immature. Are you also unaware of what can and cannot be said?” “Is there anything wrong with what I said? Isn’t it the truth? Why did the family insist on bringing this b*stard child back anyway? Look what it has come to now. The b*stard child is the one holding the reins in the family.

Justin, if you just had a little more backbone, you wouldn’t have ended up being this pathetic and having to grovel at someone else’s feet right in your own home—” A forceful slap cut her off before she

could finish speaking. It was Sienna who slapped her. Anna’s mother clutched her cheek and stared at Sienna in disbelief. Anna jumped in fright. “Aunt Sienna…” she called out weakly. Sienna’s eyes were chilling as she stared at the two of them. “Get lost, and don’t ever step foot in the Pearson Family Estate again.”
