Chapter 120 30 Years of Hard Work

After she finished her words, Georgina clasped her hands together and rested them on her knees as

she was genuinely nervous. Even though she had managed to analyze the whole situation clearly, she

still couldn’t tell what was going on in Aidan’s mind. He had turned himself from an illegitimate child into

the widely-feared President Pearson, so he was clearly someone of astounding intelligence and

capabilities. However, even though it seemed like Aidan was on the losing end within the Pearson

Group this time, Georgina still wasn’t sure if her terms were attractive enough for him.

Aidan curled her lips into a smile as he gazed at her with an unimpressed look. “You want me to marry

you, huh?”

Georgina took a deep breath. “That’s right. If it weren’t for the mistake that occurred in between, we

should’ve been the ones getting married three years ago. Furthermore, both our families have already

—”

“I think you might have misunderstood something.” Aidan interrupted her. “They wanted you to get

married to Justin, not me.”

Georgina froze upon hearing this. “How could that be? I’ve always treated Justin as a brother…” she

muttered. “That’s why no one brought it up,” Aidan replied. Sienna was fond of Georgina, but if she had

found out that Georgina was getting married to Aidan, she wouldn’t have allowed herself to get too

close to Georgina. She couldn’t bring herself to be fond of a woman who was about to marry a man she

despised.

There were two main reasons why no one had ever brought up the marriage between Georgina and

Justin. Firstly, Justin had a firm stance on this matter—he refused to agree to the marriage regardless

of Sienna’s words. Sienna had no choice but to give up on him. Secondly, since the Crossleys were a

wealthy family, and Georgina was their only daughter, her father was extremely fond and overprotective

of her. Her family would never allow her to date someone with a physical disability. These were the

main reasons no one ever suggested a marriage between the Crossleys and Pearsons.

On the other hand, Sienna would never allow Georgina to marry Aidan—that was probably the last

thing Sienna wanted. Gordon was worried that Aidan would start disobeying them after he grew more

powerful, so Gordon immediately ordered Aidan and Leanna to get married when Lenna showed up.

Georgina calmed down before speaking again. “If that’s the case, don’t you have more reason to marry

me? In that case, they would be helpless, and you’d be able to get revenge on them!” she uttered.

Aidan simply knocked his long fingers on the desk’s surface as he thought about something. “Our

marriage would be just like Anna and Zayn’s marriage, Aidan. Both parties would benefit from this. You

know how I’m the only daughter at home, Aidan. I’m bad at managing the company, so I will hand over

all of the business to you in the future. I’d rather marry you than some random guy that I’ve barely met.

You’re the best option I have in mind.” Georgina insisted.

After a few seconds, Aidan’s calm voice filled the room. “But you’re not my best option,” he replied.

She pressed her lips together. “Did you fall in love with your ex-wife?”

“What has that got to do with you?” Aidan’s gaze turned colder when he next looked at her.

“I don’t understand what you’re doing, Aidan. How could you get yourself hooked on the same person

for so long? You shouldn’t forget how hard you’ve fought to be here. You claim that no one has the

power to tell you what to do, yet you listened to your parents’ orders and got married to that woman,

didn’t you? Furthermore, I bet your father doesn’t know about her pregnancy yet, right?” Georgina

asked.

The temperature in the office seemed to turn a few degrees colder the moment she finished her

sentence. “Who told you about that?” The words Aidan spat out of his mouth were like ice shards

stabbing through Georgina’s skin. His icy gaze made Georgina clench her fists in fear. Even though her

lashes were trembling, she kept a smile on her face. “The walls have ears, don’t they?” she said with a

smile. “However, you don’t have to worry. I’m not going to use this to threaten you or anything. I just

wanted to—” Aidan scoffed once more. “What makes you think I’m going to let you threaten me?”

Georgina froze upon hearing this. Then, Aidan got to his feet and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling

window, where he stood with one hand stuck into his pocket. There wasn’t any emotion in his voice as

he spoke. “She got pregnant after getting a divorce with me. Why should I take responsibility for

something that isn’t mine? Even if the child’s mine, do you think I care about it?” he asked. “Even if

you’re not sure whether the child’s yours, I know your dad’s going to order for the child to be born.

Then, he will get you guys to run DNA tests just to check if the baby’s yours. Have you thought about

this, Aidan? Even if the child isn’t yours, your dad might do something in order to take away the power

you have in your hands. He might—” “You sure know my dad well, huh?” Aidan uttered with a

somewhat sarcastic smirk.

“I’m just sharing my predictions.” Georgina walked over to him before continuing in a soft voice. “It

doesn’t matter if you don’t want to get married to me now, Aidan. You can consider whatever I just said,

and give me an answer when you’re ready. As an act of sincerity, I’ll show up at the charity dinner with

you tomorrow. Then, it will ruin your father’s initial plan.

… Jonathan knocked on the door and entered the room after Georgina left. “Should I prepare a female

partner for the charity event you’re attending tomorrow, President Pearson?” Aidan turned around and

gazed at the entrance before speaking. “Well, there’s a living and breathing option standing right there.”

“Are you talking about Miss Crossley?” Jonathan asked. “She’s right. The fastest way to stop Gordon

now is for me to marry someone from the Crossleys. This would benefit both parties,” Aidan uttered.

“President Pearson, do you mean…” Jonathan was shocked.

Aidan gazed at the other man with a blank look on his face. “I’d save myself 30 years of hard work if I

got married to the Crossleys, wouldn’t I?”

Jonathan was speechless. Since when did President Pearson learn to crack such dark jokes? Aidan

didn’t seem like he was waiting for Jonathan’s response as he continued talking after that. “Is Lux

Magazine on the charity dinner’s invitation list?”

“Yes.” Jonathan hastily responded to the man’s question after he recovered from his shock. “As per the

charity dinner’s rules, Lux sells one of their jewelry pieces. They’re also getting two of their in-house

jewelry designers to auction their own designs.”

“Since when did Lux get their own in-house jewelry designers?” Aidan asked. Jonathan was

momentarily speechless but quickly reminded Aidan of the other designer. “Queenie, the other in-house

designer, is the one that took Mrs. Pearson’s spot to go to Paris three years ago. She came over to visit

you in Pearson Group once, and you gave her the opportunity that Mrs. Pearson didn’t want…”

“I remember her now,” Aidan said while giving his assistant a blank gaze. “You sure have a lot of

answers, huh?”

Jonathan chuckled. “Do you have any other orders, President Pearson?”

“I want you to get someone to take a picture of Leanna’s product tomorrow,” Aidan uttered after a

moment of silence.

“Can I get President Woodley to do it?” Jonathan asked.

“Get someone else. He’s too obvious,” Aidan replied.

“Got it. I’ll go deal with it now.”
