Chapter 716 I Will Always Be Loyal to President Pearson

Back at the apartment, Leanna felt exhausted despite not having done much throughout the day. She turned her

head and glared at the culprit.

Aidan asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll have Jonathan bring it over."

She asked, "Has Jonathan already left Pearson Group?"

"Today is the handover."

She could not help but cluck her tongue. He never misses a chance to boss Jonathan around, does he?

"Anything is fine. I'm going to take a shower first," she replied.

Aidan sat on the couch and took out his phone.

Half an hour later, Leanna emerged from the shower, towel-drying her hair. She inquired, "By the way, did you

have something to tell me this morning?"

"I'll have Jonathan tell you when he arrives."

She responded with a hum and was about to enter the bathroom to blow dry her hair when he followed her. Picking

up the hairdryer, he stood behind her and lifted a strand of her hair to take a sniff. "Did you change your

shampoo?"

She replied, "No, I didn't."

"Smells different."

She replied after a silence, "It's a different conditioner." A nosy man indeed. His sense of smell is impressive.

Aidan switched on the hairdryer and carefully adjusted the temperature as he began to dry her hair. After a

moment of thought, Leanna said, "Charlotte knows about it."

"Hmm?"

"Joseph. Lachlan informed her about it."

He showed no surprise. "She believed it?"

She nodded. "She did, although she probably didn't want to. But it's understandable since Joseph has never caused

her any harm. In her eyes, he will always be the same uncle from ten years ago."

He remarked, "That's normal. Unless someone experiences it firsthand, they never truly understand how much it

hurts."

She pursed her lips and fell silent for a moment, acknowledging that Zoe was the one who had suffered the most in

the recent events. Not only Charlotte, but none of them could truly comprehend and empathize with the pain Zoe

had endured.

After he finished blow-drying her hair, the doorbell rang. He put down the hairdryer and strode to the door. "I'll go

get it."

At the entrance, Jonathan stood there with a paper bag of food. "President Pearson."

"Come in."

Upon seeing Leanna, Jonathan greeted her, "Miss McKinney."

She greeted him and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"I'm fine with anything."

Taking a bottle of water from the fridge, she gave it to him.

Aidan sat on the couch. "How is it going?"

"Mr. Justin has confirmed his collaboration with Joseph. When I left today, he told me he didn't believe those rumors.

If he were to cancel the collaboration with Joseph at this time, it would only invite more criticism toward you,

President Pearson."

Aidan remained relatively unchanged in expression upon hearing this.

Jonathan continued, "However, I'm not familiar with the specifics of the collaboration. Since I've confirmed my

resignation, Mr. Justin hasn't assigned me any related tasks."

Aidan made a sound of acknowledgment and said, "Inform her about Daniel's situation."

At that, Leanna slowly sat down.

Jonathan continued, "Based on our investigation over the past two days and their activities, it appears that Daniel is

no longer in their custody."

She was stunned. "No longer… What does that mean?"

"I've investigated Leroy's activities after he returned to Highside. There was no indication of Daniel being with them

based on the scene."

"So, is he dead, or did he… escape?"

He stated, "There is a higher possibility of him escaping. I've notified the contacts in Lachstein about this

information. They'll broaden their search."

Leroy did not return directly from Lachstein and took a detour to several locations instead. As a result, Daniel had a

higher chance of escaping, but the probability of finding him decreased significantly.

Stuck with that information, Leanna felt at a loss and struggled to come up with a response.

Aidan reassured her, saying, "Don't worry. If Daniel has managed to escape their clutches, he'll find a way to reach

out to William."

She took a deep breath. Still, it's already been such a long time, and we still haven't received any news about him.

Noticing that Aidan and Jonathan had more to discuss, she rose from her seat and stated, "I'll take out the trash and

buy some things along the way."

After she left, Jonathan informed Aidan, "President Pearson, Louis has been investigating the incident involving the

collapse of the resort several years ago. He's reached out to the victims' families."

Aidan nodded in acknowledgment. "Stay vigilant. Even though Theodore is backed into a corner, he has a lot of

tricks. If Louis continues to push him further into desperation, he may resort to extreme measures."

Jonathan nodded. "I'll have more people keep an eye on it, but you can rest assured, President Pearson. Perhaps

due to his upbringing, Louis is adept at handling unexpected circumstances. If Theodore intends to cause trouble

for him, he may find himself facing the repercussions instead."

Aidan remained silent before asking, "Do you think Louis and Jethro look alike?"

Jonathan shook his head without hesitation. "Not in the slightest."

"I had both Louis and Jethro undergo a paternity test. The results confirmed their blood relationship. It's highly likely

that William's side also conducted a test, and the outcome should be the same."

Jonathan asked, "Could the test results be inaccurate?"

"Do you think there's a high possibility that both tests were inaccurate?"

"Almost zero."

Aidan's dark eyes narrowed slightly as he lightly tapped his finger on the armrest. "If the tests were wrong, there is

only one plausible explanation." He continued, "Someone's been tampering with them."

"But at that time, besides us, only a few knew about William's identity, including…" Jonathan left the sentence

unfinished.

Aidan's voice remained calm as he remarked, "Still, there are quite a few individuals around William who are aware

of his true identity."

Hearing this, Jonathan could not help but be taken aback. The people who knew about William's identity were the

ones he trusted the most. Who could have done such a thing?

Aidan requested, "Once everything is resolved, go to Lachstein and have William redo a paternity test."

Jonathan nodded. "Understood."

Leanna took a stroll downstairs and headed to the convenience store to purchase a few miscellaneous items. On

her way back, she unexpectedly encountered Jonathan as he was exiting the residential area's entrance.

"Miss McKinney."

She asked, "Are you leaving already?"

He nodded. "I've already reported everything to President Pearson."

She coughed. "Um, well, his words can be harsh sometimes. Please don't take it to heart. He has a tough demeanor

and struggles with expressing himself. I heard Justin had tried to convince you to stay at Pearson Group. Although

he didn't say much, he was quite anxious that you wouldn't leave."

Jonathan chuckled. "Miss McKinney, you can rest assured. I'll always be loyal to President Pearson."

Leanna tentatively asked, "You don't have any leverage over him, do you?"

"Perhaps President Pearson himself may have forgotten, but he saved my life."

Upon hearing his words, she inexplicably recalled a distant memory when Jonathan and Aidan had reminisced about

how Aidan had saved him at the Patheon Club.

She pondered, So, it was true all along?
