Chapter 525

When Leanna arrived at the studio, Zoe was standing at the entrance with an ashen face, seeming like

she was about to puke.

Leanna went over and gently patted her back. "Zoe, are you alright?"

Turning to look at Leanna, Zoe replied breathlessly, "Nana, you came. I'm fine. I'm already used to it."

"Let's head inside."

After entering the studio, Leanna poured Zoe a cup of water and asked, "Have you been throwing up a

lot these days?"

While Zoe was plopping onto the table, she nodded lightly. "I can't seem to keep food down either. I

would throw up after eating." After saying that, she heaved a long sigh. "I finally know how you felt

when you were pregnant. This is torturing. I don't want to have any children after this."

Chuckling, Leanna sat opposite her. "It's only difficult during the beginning of your pregnancy. Once

your belly starts to grow, your experience will become more astonishing."

Zoe picked up the cup and drank a few sips. "Forget it. I'll never feel anything astonishing about this.

My only wish is to get past these six months as quickly as possible. The sooner this ends, the better."

Leanna hesitated for a while before asking, "Have you… told Daniel?"

"Of course, but he says he needs to think about it. Maybe he's too shaken up by this." Zoe continued,

"You know. Men don't like to be straightforward. We're all adults, so I know what he means by that.

Once the six months are up, this matter will come to an end."

Hearing that, Leanna lightly pursed her lips and did not make any comments. It was a matter between

Daniel and Zoe, and she did not know the whole story. It would be better to wait until the last moment

before finding out what would happen next.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Zoe asked, "Did you come to the studio cos there's nothing to do at

Crossley Group?"

Nodding, Leanna replied, "The project has been officially launched, and things are currently going

smoothly, but I don't understand much about business matters, so Freddie is helping me."

When Zoe heard Freddie's name, she recalled her memory of him. "Is he the unreliable-looking dandy

we met at the bar last time?"

Leanna laughed. "Yes, that's him."

Zoe sighed. "So, it's true. Those who look unreliable are excellent people. But I'm different from them

because not only do I look unreliable, but I am also unreliable."

Knowing that pregnant women were more sentimental, Leanna patted Zoe's head. "What would you

like to eat for lunch? It's on me."

"Aren't you going to have lunch with President Pearson?"

"He's only coming tonight."

While rubbing her hands together, Zoe joked. "I won't go lightly on you. Since I haven't had much of an

appetite these days, I must stimulate it by eating a good meal today."

"Sure."

Meanwhile, in the Pearson Family Estate, Gordon grimly waved his hand when he received news about

Aidan's return, indicating for the servant to leave. Then, he sat in his study for a few minutes before

heading out with his cane.

In the living room, Aidan was sitting on the couch with an emotionless face.

Gordon walked over and sat opposite him before asking, "Don't you hate this family? Why did you

come back?"

Without any changes in his expression, Aidan uttered slowly, "You went through so much effort to invite

Leanna over. I thought you must miss me, so I came over uninvited."

Hearing that, Gordon frowned as his expression turned gloomy. "Does that mean without Leanna, you

will never come back to this house?"

"That's not entirely true. If you suddenly pass someday, I'll come back to pay my respects."

Gordon was instantly infuriated and bashed his cane on the ground. "How dare you speak such

nonsense!"

Aidan retorted, "You're already so old—almost halfway inside your coffin. How can you still not

understand that nature has its course? It's time you accept it."

"I think you're hoping that I die early!"

"Aren't you wishing I were dead too?"

Just like that, Aidan easily peeled off the thin layer of disguise between his and the Pearsons'

relationship.

Gordon's face was as dark as coal, and he could not find the words to retort.

Meanwhile, Aidan's voice was laced with ice when he said, "I don't have any objections to what you're

plotting against me. If you want to kill me, I am always ready to accept the challenge, but if you guys

tried to harm Leanna, I don't mind dying together with all of you."

Once he said those words, the living room descended into dead silence.

A while later, Gordon softened his tone and rebuked, "How could you say that? Talking about death in

every sentence. Things haven't gotten to that point yet. What's more, isn't she doing just fine?"

Aidan responded, "Yes, she's doing fine now, but if this happens again, I can't promise I wouldn't do

anything."

Gordon reprimanded, "Aidan, when I let you take over Pearson Group, I told you to make it your

priority, but now, you're saying such things because of a woman. Don't you think that's outrageous?"

"Because of a woman?" Aidan uttered flatly, "Isn't it because you all know how much she means to me

that you planned such a huge scheme to trick her over?"

Frowning, Gordon tried to avert the point. "What do you mean by tricking her over? The Pearson

Family Estate's entrance is right there. She walked in herself. Do you expect me to chase her out the

door?"

Aidan scoffed before getting up. "I've said what I came to say. It's up to you whether you take it."

After Aidan left, Gordon sat on the couch and could not help but scold, "He's a lunatic. A madman!"

At that moment, Sienna came down the stairs. "It's not the first time he went berserk. Have you only

realized this now?"

Gordon indeed did not expect Aidan to come over and bring that matter to light for Leanna.

The turn of events was beyond his expectations, which meant Leanna was more valuable than he

thought. However, if he plotted any ideas against Leanna again, Aidan might truly go insane. Perhaps

he might even fight to the death. If that happened, Gordon would not be able to get anything.

After a moment's silence, he spoke up, "How is it going with Naomi? No clues still?"

Crossing her arms, Sienna answered, "No."

He furrowed his eyebrows. "You have to pay more attention to this matter. It would be best if you can

find her before the board of directors meeting. That way, we will have a token in our hands to deal with

any unexpected situations."

"What unexpected situations are there? Didn't you say you have it all arranged?"

"Yes, I did, but…"

Something happened in Lachstein. They sent some people over, but they had yet to return. Even with

the faxes and a copy, Gordon remained insecure without having the original documents in his hand.

He narrowed his eyes as he pondered whether the people he sent were his in the beginning. On top of

that, Aidan had foiled several of his plans, so he was fearful something might happen.
