Chapter 446

A black Rolls-Royce stopped at the entrance of the hotel at 6.00PM sharp.

Aidan then got out of the car. After he walked around to the other side, he opened the door and had his
sleek eyebrows slightly raised when he reached out to the person inside.

Seeing this, Leanna put her palm in his hand and lifted the hem of her dress. The corners of her lips
were lifted when she stepped out of the car.

She was wearing a lavender dress that made her skin look fairer and more delicate, and she had a
dainty necklace around her neck. Upon closer look, one would find that the pendant was in the shape
of a pocket watch.

She stood beside Aidan and the man stretched out an arm, and she gently linked hers through.

The couple then walked into the hotel together.

A lot of guests who saw this scene couldn’t help but talk about them.

“That pair just now. That was President Pearson and his ex… girlfriend, wasn’t it?”

“I’ve heard that she’s pretty but now that I’m seeing her in real life for the first time, she’s way more
gorgeous than any celebrity.”

“They look like a match made in heaven. I wonder why they got divorced in the first place.”

“It’s all because of those trifle matters in the past. Everyone knew that she faked a pregnancy to marry
into the Pearson Family at that time. That must be the reason for the divorce.”



“That doesn’t sound right. If that was the case, why did President Pearson make it such a big deal
when he pursued her some time ago?”

“Let me tell you. Speaking of President Pearson’s ex-wife, she’s had one helluva life. I heard that she
was sold to the Patheon Club.” The person who spoke lowered his voice. “And word is that it was her
father who sold her. She met President Pearson there. You can probably guess what happened next.
After that one night they spent together, it didn’t take long before she approached the Pearson Family.”

“You left out the reason President Pearson pursued her again after the divorce!”

The person who was speaking at first continued, “Calm down. I’m not done. Do you still remember the
annulment of the engagement between President Pearson and Georgina Crossley last year? You know
that the Crossleys looked down on President Pearson because he is an illegitimate child and felt that
he was not worthy of Georgina, who is of blue blood, right? That was why they decided against the
marriage at last.”

Right then, a cold voice asked, “What happened next?”

“Man, you can’t tell me this isn’t fate at work. President Pearson’s ex-wife actually went to Georgina
with some kind of keepsake and claimed that she was Lloyd Crossley’s long-lost biological daughter!
Even though Lloyd Crossley didn’t believe it, he eventually took her in a blur when she brought along
the things Crossley’s deceased wife left behind. Don’t forget she has Mr. Jackson to back her up.”

The person took a breath and continued, “Think about it. How can President Pearson not be tempted
when it’s revealed that his ex-wife is the real daughter of the Crossley Family? As long as he marries
her, the Crossley Group will be his. I have to say, President Pearson sure has a vision. He got the
Crossley Group so easily.”

After the man finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that his surroundings had been quiet for a while
now. The few people who had gathered together to gossip had taken a few steps back at some point



and distanced themselves from him. The atmosphere was terrifyingly quiet.

He stiffly turned around, only to see a face with a half-smile looking back at him.

“That was an interesting plot you came up with,” Oscar drawled.

“M-Mr. Woodley.”

“If Aidan knew that you made up such an inspirational story for him, he would surely give you a big
round of applause.”

The man’s face hardened in an instant. “I… I heard it from someone else. I definitely didn’t make it up
and I didn’t mean to slander President Pearson behind his back. I just—”

Freddie was the one who leaned over and interrupted rather kindly, “The maximum sentence for
spreading rumors is three years. Get in touch with me if you need me. I will give you a discount.”

No one uttered another word after that.

…

After Leanna and Aidan arrived in the banquet hall, they saw Lloyd talking to Mr. Jackson. They then
walked over to greet their elders. “Mr. Jackson, Mr. Crossley.”

Mr. Jackson smilingly nodded in acknowledgment. However, he didn’t seem all that pleased when he
looked at Aidan. “You’re here as well, President Pearson?”

Aidan was confused by the reply. Am I not supposed to be here?

Elijah also came over to stand beside Mr. Jackson then.

Seeing this, Aidan stated flatly, “Toilet break.”



He pulled Leanna along with him after throwing those curt words out.

They had only taken a few steps when Leanna asked, “Why are you bringing me along? I don’t need to
use the washroom.”

The man only peered at her. “Do you want to be alone with Elijah?”

She did not know how to reply to that. Jealous much? Leanna mused. How am I supposed to be alone
with him when hundreds of people are in this hall? I can’t even if I want to.

Truth was, Aidan didn’t need to use the washroom. It was just his excuse to take her to a place with
fewer people.

Leanna asked again, “So are you going to stop Elijah and me from ever seeing each other?”

She came to a pause after asking that but out of fear Aidan would misunderstand, she continued,
“Occasions like today’s, for example.”

Holding a glass of champagne in his hand, he drawled, “The more you can avoid him, the better. You
can avoid him during events like this as well.”

“Why do you treat him like an enemy? It’s not like I’ve…” I’ve ever liked him.

Aidan looked at her as he muttered, “You even brought him home to meet your parents. You would
probably have talked about marriage if I hadn’t interrupted with my visit back then.”

“You still remember something that happened centuries ago well, huh?” She let out an awkward laugh.

Whoever said women liked bringing up old scores was wrong because apparently, men did too!



Aidan took a sip of his champagne before he complained again. “I even remember things that
happened millennia ago. You and…”

His lips were pressed into a tight line just when the name was about to leave his mouth.

Seeing how quiet he was, Leanna couldn’t stop herself from chuckling. She had never seen anyone so
jealous he couldn’t even bring himself to say his rival’s name.

Her relationship with Zayn had come to an end three years ago. Even before her divorce, she had
never had any hope of being together with Zayn. And here he is, being petty over nothing.

She quickly retorted, “I didn’t say anything when I used to live with your ex-fiancée.”

“And who did I do that for?” he stated.

“Sounds fair.”

“Of course.”

Oscar and Freddie walked over when the couple was in the middle of conversing. “You’re arguing
again? Seems like there will be more entertaining rumors being spread tonight.”

Aidan took a glance at them when he heard that. “What nonsense are you two on about?”

“Nothing much,” said Oscar. “We overheard about your… legacy before you became what you are?”

Freddie, on the other hand, waved at Leanna. “Long time no see. Come find me if you ever need a
divorce. My service will be free of charge.”

Neither Aidan nor Leanna said anything in return.



The company’s anniversary ceremony officially began just when everyone was enjoying themselves.
Lloyd proceeded to stand on the stage and talked about corporate culture, corporate development, and
various official announcements, which earned him a round of applause from the audience.

“The show’s about to begin,” Oscar brought up in a calm voice, to which Aidan replied, “He isn’t the
only person who will direct the show tonight.”

When Leanna heard their conversation, she pursed her lips and her eyes fell on Lloyd.
