Chapter 164
Immediately, Oscar retreated. "Wait, don't get angry first. I'm just stating a fact. Look at how you've
been treating her all this while. Will you let all this slide so easily if you're in her shoes?"
"Am I not good to her?"
"Are you good to her?"
With Oscar's question, Aidan pocketed his gaze and drank two glasses of wine continuously. He then
said in a deep voice, "She's the one who lied to me in the first place. Or else, I won't treat her this way."
"Aidan, with your understanding of Leanna, do you still think that she lied to you and faked her
pregnancy to marry you previously?"
Hearing that, Aidan tightened his grip on the glass, and his forehead creased.
"Leanna is smart, beautiful, talented, and has a lot of strengths. I think even if she didn't marry you,
she'd have many outstanding admirers too. The reason you're in love with her is that you're attracted to
her after spending a long time together. But if she's really that kind of woman that will fake her
pregnancy and use dirty tricks to get what she wants, will she give off such an attractive charm?"
At this moment, Aidan's jawline tightened up. After Oscar pointed out the thought that he had been
keeping at the back of his mind all this while, he suddenly had a chilling thought.
Since Leanna was married to him, she had only asked him for money a few times. The amount wasn't
big either, and she had even written an IOU every time she asked for money from him. Also, Jethro
was always the reason why she borrowed money from him. Other than that, she didn't use her Mrs.
Pearson status to get any merit.
When they were divorced, she didn't mention anything about him being his ex-husband, even when
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe was rumored to be a mistress.
At this moment, Oscar swayed the wine glass in his hand. "Anyway, I think that you should go find out
what really happened three years ago."
Right then, Aidan stood up and left with a darkened face.
Noticing that, Oscar turned around and asked, "Hey! What about your drink?"
After leaving Patheon Club, Aidan told Jonathan, "Go find out what happened within the two months I
went to Lachstein for work three years ago."
That time, he was annoyed whenever he saw Leanna. So, he used work as an excuse to stay in
Lachstein for two months. The night when he returned to see Leanna's flat stomach, he sneered and
didn't ask her anything. He just assumed that she had faked her pregnancy.
While following behind Aidan, Jonathan asked after hesitating for a moment, "Miss Anna suddenly went
overseas during that period. Should I look into her?"
When Aidan heard that, his actions came to a halt, and his brows snapped together even tighter.
"Anna?"
Jonathan nodded. "Her trip overseas was really sudden. I've heard that she even declined an important
gathering for this. But this was all arranged by Mrs. Pearson's people. I'll look into the details."
Aidan kept his gaze and bent down to enter the black Rolls-Royce, which was parked aside.
The driver asked, "Are you returning to Castor Villa, President Pearson?"
After a few seconds, only then did he answer, "No. Send me to another place." The emotions in his
words couldn't be heard with the noises around him.
…
When Leanna was tidying things up in the hall, she suddenly heard hasty footsteps from behind. But
before she could turn around, she felt someone gripping her wrist and bringing her to stride into the
office at the back of the workshop. There were no pauses throughout the whole process at all.
At this moment, Zoe and the other two girls in the workshop were stunned.
Startled, the two girls asked, "Should we… call the police?"
When Zoe reacted, she laughed humorlessly. "I think… It's okay. Let's just see what happens."
As she said that, she went near the office at the back, trying to eavesdrop. What's wrong with this
Aidan b*stard again?
In the office, no matter how hard Leanna swung her hand, she still couldn't free herself from Aidan's
grip. Instantly, she was enraged. "What's wrong with you?! Let go of me!"
As she said that, she turned around and wanted to open the office door. But just as she opened the
door for a little, it was pushed back again.
With his other hand pressing against the door, Aidan looked at her with his dark eyes. "I'm going to ask
you a question. You better answer me properly."
Leanna was so angry that she started laughing. "Is this how you talk to me properly, President
Pearson?"
"Your attitude toward me is not really good these days. If I didn't act like this, would you talk to me?"
Hearing that, she was speechless. At least this b*stard has some self-awareness.
Leanna tried to twist her hand again and realized he had the upper hand in physical strength. So, she
said, "Just ask whatever you want." And get lost when you're done.
When Aidan saw that she was not struggling anymore, his grip loosened a little, and he lowered his
voice. "How did you lose the baby you had three years ago?"
She totally didn't expect he would ask such a question, so she froze in the same place for quite some
time.
Meanwhile, he didn't rush her to answer and just waited for her quietly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter a few moments, Leanna smiled and lifted her head to look at him. "Didn't you always say that I
faked my pregnancy? If that's what you think, then why are you asking me this?"
Aidan pressed his lips together before saying, "You answer me first."
"If you asked me the same question three months ago, I might have given you an unexpected answer.
But now…" She paused for a moment and then put on a scornful smile. "I don't want to talk about it
anymore because I think you don't deserve to know."
When he heard that, he frowned a little, for she didn't say 'don't need' but used the word 'don't deserve'.
Leanna said calmly, "Why? Did I say anything wrong, President Pearson? People like you don't have
any reverence for life. You can even treat your own child so cruelly and cold-bloodedly. So, what
answer do you want from me? And so what if I told you? Can the child be revived?"
"Why didn't you explain to me before this?" Aidan asked.
"Explain?" She just felt hilarious. "Didn't you set your mind about what kind of person I am already? Will
it be of any use if I explain it to you? Will you listen? I'll just end up humiliating myself."
She had already explained for the past three years, but he just didn't care, and even thought that she
was just changing her trick to deceive him.
At this moment, he didn't deny it, and his Adam's apple bobbed in his throat. Only after a while did he
let go of her. "Fine, it was my fault."
It's that word again, 'fine'. B*stards are always talking so arrogantly. Leanna said, "No, no. How can it
be your fault, President Pearson? You're never at fault; you're always right…"
He didn't want to hear from her anymore. "Shut up!"
"Okay." She tidied up her sleeves, which he crumpled. "Are you done? If you're done, then I'll go out
first."
Just as she was about to turn around, Aidan said again, "Zayn is going to Swiysal."
