Chapter 791 She’s Already Married

At Crossley Group.

Jonathan knocked on the door and placed all the documents in front of Aidan.

He said, "President Pearson, these are all the proposals for our company's New Coast project. Over a

hundred companies of all sizes have already settled in."

Aidan picked up the documents and flipped through a few pages casually.

Jonathan continued, "The next round of bidding will start next Friday, but there aren't many projects left.

By then, all the companies will try their best to secure the cooperation."

After putting down the documents, Aidan instructed, "Use Southwest Group's name to bid for the rest of

the projects."

"But would Young Master Justin agree to that?" Jonathan asked.

Aidan paused for two seconds before saying, "He will."

The New Coast project was the largest project Pearson Group had initiated in recent years.

It included catering, entertainment, real estate, shopping malls, hotels, and many others...

Therefore creating countless projects.

If the project was carried out according to Aidan's plan, it would greatly improve Anan's economic level

as a whole.

However, if any mishaps happened during the project, Pearson Group would lose billions, and other

companies that had joined the project would also face bankruptcy.

Now that Aidan had taken the initiative to participate in this project and make things even riskier. There

was no reason for Justin to disagree.

Jonathan nodded and said, "I will arrange for it right away."

That afternoon, Richard, who received a call from the front desk, entered the office and informed Aidan,

"President Pearson, there is someone downstairs who wants to see you."

Aidan said indifferently, "Who is it?"

"It's... Elijah Parker from Constellation Tech."

Upon hearing the name, Aidan felt his eyebrow twitch. "Elijah Parker?"

Richard nodded. "Yes."

After remaining silent for a moment, Aidan said, "Bring him in."

Five minutes later, Elijah appeared in the office.

Aidan sat on the sofa, looking relaxed as he crossed his long legs and tapped his knee lightly with his

fingers. "Mr. Parker, do you feel unsatisfied with our last conversation and came here to continue?"

Elijah's expression changed slightly. "I made baseless speculations last time and spoke without careful

consideration. I came here... to apologize."

Aidan curled his lips, feeling intrigued by this situation. "You came to apologize?"

"I said that if it was proven that I was wrong, I would personally apologize to you."

After that, Aidan said nothing. It seemed that they already found out about Amanda's situation.

Knowing Aidan's character, Elijah didn't take his indifferent attitude to heart. "If you have any more

questions, feel free to ask me. Consider it my debt to you."

"Wait."

Elijah had just taken a few steps forward when Aidan's voice came from behind him.

He turned around. "Is there anything else, President Pearson?"

Aidan continued, "Since you made the trip, I won't be modest with you. I have a question I wanted to

ask you."

Though Elijah seemed emotionless, he secretly complained, When have you ever been modest with

me?

"Please, President Pearson."

Aidan asked, "Who conducted the paternity test for Leanna back then?"

Upon hearing that question, Elijah frowned. "Why are you asking? Do you...?"

"I'm just curious. You don't have to think much about it."

"I conducted the paternity test, and I personally obtained the results from the laboratory. I don't know

what you're trying to imply, but in my opinion, the results should be accurate." After a pause, Elijah

continued, "I am only discussing the authenticity of the results, not—"

Aidan interrupted him indifferently, "I am not Leanna, so you don't need to explain so much to me."

Elijah's face became even paler when he realized Aidan had seen through his thoughts.

After a while, he said, "If you have nothing else to ask, I'll be leaving."

But Aidan spoke leisurely. "I remember your mother is a doctor. Did you ask her to help you conduct

the paternity test?"

Elijah immediately understood what he meant and retorted, "What are you trying to say, Pearson?"

"I'm not saying anything. It's just a simple question."

"If you are still unhappy because of what I said that day, feel free to get back at me. How could you

implicate my parents in this matter?"

Elijah was very filial, as could be seen from last year's event when he brought Leanna home for dinner

but was interrupted by Aidan.

He didn't want his parents to be involved in these matters.

Moreover, he had made himself clear. Aidan could doubt the truth behind the paternity test, and he

could suspect him of messing with the results. However, he could not stand Aidan suspecting his

mother of fraud.

Aidan looked at Elijah with the same cold indifference as always. "From your reaction, it seems it was

indeed your mother who conducted the paternity test."

"You—"

"Instead of wasting time here with me, Mr. Parker, it would be better to redo the test." As Aidan spoke,

he stood up and added, "Of course. I will apologize to you too if I made baseless speculations without

any evidence. I hope I will have the opportunity to visit your office."

Once those words were said, Elijah was at a loss for how to refute them.

But then Aidan asked him to leave. "Alright, Mr. Parker, you may go."

Elijah gritted his teeth and left, suppressing his anger.

After leaving Crossley Group, Elijah originally planned to return to his company but then recalled what

Aidan had said just now. He frowned and went home instead.

As soon as Elijah entered the house, he saw his mother getting ready to go out.

He asked, "Mom, isn't today your day off?"

His mother, Lizzy, replied, "A colleague had something come up suddenly, so we switched shifts. Why

did you suddenly come home?"

After averting his gaze, he looked at the coffee table and approached it. "I forgot to take some

documents, so I came back to get them."

Lizzy said, "You should have told me. I would have brought them to you so that you wouldn't have to

come home."

"It's fine. There isn't much work at the company recently," Elijah explained. "Mom, let me send you to

the hospital."

"Will it delay you?"

"No, I would be passing by the hospital on my way to meet a friend."

"Alright, let's go."

On the way, Elijah looked straight ahead without saying a word.

Then, Lizzy tentatively spoke up. "There's a new intern at the hospital. She's nice and looks pretty. Why

don't you take this chance to meet her?"

That brought Elijah out of his thoughts, and he chuckled. "Mom, I don't intend to get into a relationship

right now."

Hearing that, Lizzy became nervous. "Are you still having thoughts about that woman from before? She

might already have a boyfriend."

Elijah said, "She's already married."

"In that case..."

"It has nothing to do with her. I don't have any intention of starting a relationship right now."

Lizzy sighed. "I don't want to rush you, but your father's health has been deteriorating lately. He's been

thinking about when he can have a grandchild."

Then, Elijah asked, "Are the results of his last medical examination out?"

"They did. He has no major illness, but…" Lizzy sighed. "This is what happens when you grow older."
