Chapter 27 That’s Too Bad Aidan remained silent for a moment before replying, “That’s not necessary.” He was not keen to see her right now. Ever since he was brought back to the Pearson Family as the illegitimate son, he had been disgusted by the so-called blood ties and bloodline. That was even more so when he stepped through the doors of the Pearson Family Estate and saw Justin Pearson, who was paralyzed in a wheelchair with eyes that were nothing but darkness.

 

The lavishness of the place could not even mask the corruption and inferiority that was radiated in the air. With that, Aidan was suffocated by the sight of it. As such, Leanna’s action of using her unborn child as a bargaining chip had undoubtedly crossed the line for him. Aidan took out his phone and unlocked it once again before staring at the blank chatbox. Since he had deleted Leanna’s contact previously, he could no longer look back on the precious texts sent by her.

 

No concerning texts, no more incessant nagging words nor any ‘I’m waiting for you’ messages. Just… blank. He tapped on the input box with his slender fingers and typed a sentence before slowly backspacing it again. An hour later, the phone rang by Leanna’s bedside just as she was about to go to sleep. She glanced at her phone with half-opened eyes and noticed the cold words sent by the b*stard. ‘You’ve got twenty-five days left.’ At that moment, she was rendered speechless. Does he really need to send me a countdown at this time of the night? She considered the situation for a moment and could not be bothered to reply to that. She merely responded with an emoji of an OK sign. Her reply was proper and solemn, which signified her determination to repay him the money on time.

After a bout of self-doubt, she became convinced about one thing; she was convinced that President Pearson appeared to be coldly indifferent toward her, but actually cared so much for her. Now that she had recalled their moments carefully, Aidan only chided her whenever she was trying to win him over by shaming Leanna and her schemes; however, not only did he not punish her afterward, he had also made his way to obtain the best

 

If that was the case, then there would be no need for her to scheme and plot at all. As long as she behaved herself, then naturally, she would not be associated with someone as shameful as Leanna; hence, Aidan would fancy her even more! With this in mind, Mia merely

 

Leanna tidied the jewelry in front of her. “Perhaps she got her rabies shot today.” Although Zoe did not mention to Leanna about Mia being the upcoming star of the fashion show, Leanna had heard plenty of discussions regarding what Aidan had done for Mia when she went to see Harvey at Lux Jewelry

the opportunity of collaborating with internationally-acclaimed designers or seek pointers from them; that would be the biggest break for them in gaining recognition. However, this was a chance that clearly seemed achievable yet way out of reach in reality. One could not help but lament the despicable qualities of capitalists. In comparison, Leanna was indifferent to all of that. If this had happened three years ago, then perhaps she would choose to put up a fight and try for it. However, the harshness of reality had struck her hope down to nothing. Furthermore, she was criticized three years ago for being one who lacked goals. At this stage, she merely intended

 

public display of affections, that had nothing to do with her at all. However, when she saw the necklace that she had slaved day and night to design worn on Mia’s neck, Leanna could not quite contain her impulse to commit a crime against her. Mia was seated in front of the mirror and casually tweaked the necklace on her neck as she spoke indifferently, “If it wasn’t for Lux Jewelry, you will never see me wearing anything designed by an unknown designer, even if they were to beg me on their knees.” Meanwhile, Zoe was taking BTS shots of another model backstage for the content next week.
