Love's Change of Heart

With an indifferent expression, Aidan looked at him without uttering a word. It was as if he

wanted to reprimand Jonathan's ability to come to him only to ask the way to deal with

this trivial matter.

Trying to get a grip of himself, Jonathan coughed and continued, "It's Madam's father."

Even though Aidan's expression didn't change after he heard that, there was a slight

sense of chill in the words he spoke. "Don't you know that I'm divorced?"

In an instant, Jonathan felt his back break in a cold sweat. He had no idea what Aidan was

trying to do. Thus, he quickly backtracked. "Yes—Miss McKinney's father is clamoring to

see you."

"What does her father have to do with me? Send that person directly to the police station

if we catch someone who has a misdemeanor. Do you still need me to teach you such

simple logic?"

"Yes, President Pearson. I'll handle it at once."

After leaving the president's office, Jonathan felt like he had taken a trip to hell and barely

escaped death.

I don't know how Madam offended President Pearson this time, but he does seem to be

furious.

Meanwhile, Aidan, who was in the office, put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his

temples.

Not long after, his phone rang, after which he picked up, and Oscar's voice came from the

other end of the phone. "Care to join me for a drink?"

"Where?"

"Patheon Club."

…

When Aidan arrived at the private room, he saw a group of people opening champagne

and celebrating enthusiastically. Then, he took a seat on the couch and sat with his pair of

long slender legs crossed. After that, he asked casually, "What's going on?"

Holding the wine glass, Oscar replied, "I'm not sure either. It seems like that good-for-

nothing son of the Yenington Family is about to start college, and his father invited a lot of

people to celebrate for him."

"Celebrate? What's there to celebrate? Celebrating him coming last every time?"

While talking, Victor Yenington, the head of the Yenington Family, saw Aidan. With his face

full of smiles, he came over with a glass of wine. "President Pearson, I didn't expect you to

come. Come, come, come. Thank you for coming and celebrating this joyous occasion with

us. Here, let me give you a toast."

As he spoke, he took the glass and drank the wine in one shot.

At this time, someone came over and threw his hand on Victor's shoulder. "Victor, I heard

that your son has enrolled in Southfork University. That truly is an amazing achievement!"

The Yeningtons' fortunes were mainly new money, so the entire family was deemed

uncultured. Many in Highside laughed and mocked them because of their barbaric

behavior. However, Victor only had one son. He couldn't and was in no way able to make

his son reborn as a genius, no matter how bad his grades were.

However, Victor suddenly announced that his son had been admitted to the top-ranked

university in the country just when everyone looked down on them. Not only that, he even

invited many people to celebrate this rejoiceful event.

Since Oscar's company and Victor had business dealings, he naturally received this

invitation. Yet, he didn't want to attend the event all by himself and listened to these

people's hypocritical touts. Therefore, he tricked Aidan so that he could attend the party

with him.

Hearing that person's praise, Victor said modestly, "I didn't expect this son of mine who

looks like a loafer on usual days would outperform himself at crunch time. Well, at least he

didn't embarrass our family."

"Then, it seems like Mr. Frank is a sensational person indeed."

"Oh, not at all. It's all thanks to my good supervision. I often teach him by personal

precept and example. Otherwise, he wouldn't have scored such good results."

During the time they were touting, Aidan gave Oscar a cold look that resulted in Oscar

quickly looking away.

Impatience was written all over Aidan's deep and stern facial features. Just as he got up

and was about to leave, their voices continued to sound. "Since Mr. Frank has entered

Southfork University, his score must be excellent."

With his face full of smiles, Victor said, "It's still fine. I think he scored 1550 something on

his SAT, and he's a few points behind to get a full score. I don't understand why this son of

mine doesn't really work hard on usual days. Look at how much joy it is to score well on a

test."

"1550? That's an excellent result! I heard that the provincial champion of our district this

year also scored more than 1550. Could it be your son who is the provincial champion?"

Aidan, who walked to the door, paused slightly and glanced sideways.

Realizing that he had made a slip of the lip, Victor immediately changed the subject.

"What century are we living in now? Is becoming a provincial champion that important?

Come, come, let's keep drinking."

Meanwhile, Oscar caught up in Aidan's footsteps. "What's the matter?"

With an indifferent demeanor, Aidan said, "Do you think his son is able to be admitted to

college with his grades?"

"Forget about college. Victor had to donate the money to build a few buildings just to

enroll his son into high school."

"Then, how did he get into Southfork University?"

For a moment, Oscar was at a loss for words. "Uh—"

Seeing Oscar's reaction, Aidan frowned slightly. Then, he instructed with a cold voice,

"Bring the manager here."

Five minutes later, the manager pushed open the door of another private room and said

cautiously, "President Pearson, President Woodley, what can I do for you two?"

Looking up at the manager, Aidan said, "Why did Louis meet up with you a few days ago?"

"President Pearson, didn't you ask me before? Louis needs money—"

Before the manager could finish his sentence, Aidan immediately interrupted. "Did he get

the money?"

The manager held back for a long time before saying, "Yeah, he got it."

When Aidan heard that, the expression on his face became even colder. "Who gave it to

him?"

At once, the manager felt he was weak on his knees and didn't know how to answer for a

moment.

Louis came to me at that time because he wanted to sell his college admission letter.

Although it's illegal, there are indeed many rich people doing this. After those rich people

bought admission letters, they naturally had their own way of making this thing their own.

When Louis was still working at Patheon Club, someone had asked him about him.

However, Louis ignored them. It's until something happens to his family this time that he

has the intention to sell his college admission notice. Initially, the Yeningtons didn't want

to spend so much money. Nevertheless, the value of that college admission letter is simply

too precious. Hence, they paid a million for it.
