Chapter 674

Two Men Vying for Him

When Jonathan left the president’s office, the back of his shirt was completely drenched in a layer of
cold sweat.
He quickly packed up his things and left the Pearson Group without another moment’s delay.
To his surprise, he received a phone call while he was on the road. Then, he immediately dialed
Aidan’s number as soon as he ended the previous call.
Aidan’s voice coming from the other side of the phone was indifferent, “Speak.”
“President Pearson, I just received news that the funds used to hire those mercenaries came from an
overseas account under Georgina’s name. Someone opened the account in Clarenbourg twenty years
ago. What’s more, a significant amount of money is transferred into this account every year. My guess
is that the funds came from Jimmy’s various illegal activities. The existence of this account is extremely
secretive. Over the years, there have only been remittances into the account but no withdrawals from
the account. Even Georgina does not seem to know about the existence of this account.”
Aidan questioned, “Did you manage to find out when Leroy left Highside?”
Jonathan replied, “Our men and William’s men were watching all the entry and exit points leading in
and out of Highside. So, even if he were smuggled out of Highside, it would have been impossible for
him to escape from under our noses without a trace. So, there is only one possibility…”
Either Leroy had dug an underground tunnel and escaped through the underground tunnel, or
somebody had taken him away. More importantly, this was a person they would never even think to
investigate or suspect.
Several seconds passed before Aidan responded, “I will remain in Lachstein for some time. If
something happens in Highside, work with Keaton to address the issue. Also, don’t forget to check in
on Leanna’s studio. If they are having trouble keeping up with work, send two personnel to help them.”
Jonathan made a sound of acknowledgment. Then, after a brief pause, he hesitantly stammered,
“President Pearson…”
“Speak.”



He stuttered and hesitated to speak for a long time.
Aidan asked, “Are you getting married?”
Jonathan exclaimed indignantly, “Of course not!”
He was so busy that he didn’t even have the time to look for a girlfriend. Whom would he marry?
“Well then, what is troubling you so terribly? Is it something you can’t tell me? Or am I supposed to
guess the answer myself?”
Jonathan said nothing, but he was starting to regret his decision. It would have been better if he had
just blurted out everything without hesitation earlier.
With Aidan’s statement in the forefront, his following words would seem like he was expressing his
dissatisfaction with Aidan instead. Not to mention, his explanation would seem threatening and boastful
at the same time.
He paused briefly before blurting out the answer, “Young Master Justin asked to meet me today.”
“What benefits did he offer to you?”
“He offered me the vice president position and a five percent share of the dividends.”
Aidan mused, “That’s not a bad offer. In that case, you can easily afford a luxurious gift for my
wedding.”
Jonathan was flabbergasted by the response; then, he suddenly realized something.
Wait a moment… What did he say? Does that mean his marriage proposal was a success?
He gave a dry laugh. “If so, can I skip the gift-giving during your wedding if I reject the offer?”
“Stop dreaming.” Then, Aidan continued after a brief pause, “It’s up to you whether or not you accept
the offer. Think about it carefully yourself. There’s no need to worry about me.”
“I won’t accept the offer.”
He smirked. “That’s your decision. Don’t blame me for your choice later.”
Jonathan intoned seriously, “President Pearson, do you know why it took you so long to court Miss
McKinney? It’s because you have such a harsh manner of speaking.”
“So? I’ve already gotten her.”
He smiled slightly at Aidan’s boastful tone. This was the employer he had chosen. He had to complete



his duties even if he had to cry while finishing his job.
Aidan said, “Okay. You can change your mind at any time. There’s no need to inform me about your
decision.”
After he said that, he hung up without another word.
Jonathan held his phone and sighed quietly to himself. When did I become so desirable? I can’t believe
two men are fighting over me… One is gentle and kind; the other is cold, ruthless, bad-tempered, and
mean. In fact, there is never a good word that comes out of his mouth. It’s so difficult to choose
between them.
On the other side, Leanna heard a voice coming from the corridor. She approached the figure quietly,
where she saw Aidan standing by the window and pondering over something.
So, she walked over and questioned, “What’s wrong? Who was on the phone with you just now?”
Aidan turned to look at her and expressed his regret, “You may just lose the only competitor for the
position that nobody is competing for.”
She was confused by his cryptic answer.
What nonsense is he spewing again?
He retracted his gaze and stared forward. A long while passed before he said, “Jonathan might choose
to remain in the Pearson Group.”
It took her several seconds to understand what he was saying. Then, she abruptly understood the
meaning behind his previous statement.
She desperately tried to restrain her laughter as she stood next to him and probed, “So… you don’t
want him to remain in the Pearson Group?”
“It’s none of my business. Besides, it’s not like I can make those decisions on his behalf. What if he
blames me because he thinks it’s better to have remained in the Pearson Group than to follow me?”
“That’s true. After all, he might lose all his hair from stress before turning thirty if he decides to follow
you.”
He corrected her. “He is thirty-one years old this year.”
His shameless response left her at a loss for words.



What attention to detail… Does that mean it’s alright for Jonathan to start losing his hair just because
he is thirty-one?
It began to drizzle outside the window.

Some time passed before he quietly asked, “In your opinion, do I usually put a lot of pressure on him at
work?”

“A little. Think about it… You even make him do the dishes for you. Not to mention, he shows up
immediately as long as you need his help. It’s very stressful to be on-call 24 hours a day.”
He glanced sideways at her. “Do you know his annual salary?”
She wisely decided not to answer and smartly chose to keep her mouth shut upon hearing that
dangerous question.
Although he didn’t get a response, he continued speaking, “But Justin promised to give him a 5% share
of the dividends. Based on the Pearson Group’s general income, that would be at least ten times more
than his current annual salary. It’s only normal for him to be swayed by such numbers. But, of course,
that figure is based on the Pearson Group’s average profit while I was working there. The Pearson
Group will maintain normal operating levels for two more years after my departure, but the profits will
surely decline after two years. At that time, his earnings might not compare to the annual salary that I
currently offer him.”
She added in a voice that was barely above a whisper, “Even if that’s the case, it’ll be enough if he
simply took the dividends during those two years.”
He gave her a death stare.
She stifled her laughter. “Can’t you just tell Jonathan that you want him to continue working for you?”
He rebuffed her, “I can’t. That’s unethical.”
She felt that his words made sense after giving them a moment’s thought.
At this time, the medical staff had come to perform their routine check and measure William’s
temperature.
Leanna said, “I’m heading inside.”



Aidan hummed softly in response.
After she returned to the hospital ward, he stared at his phone in silence. A long time passed before he
finally sent a message to Jonathan. ‘I will increase your salary and hire you an assistant.’
After he sent the message, he stuffed his phone into his pocket and entered the hospital ward.
Inside the hospital ward, the doctor was changing William’s bandages.
Leanna stared at the shocking wound and felt her scalp going numb.
Aidan walked over and stood beside her. Then, he used one hand to cover her eyes. “Don’t look.”
Her breathing became a little unsteady, and she involuntarily clutched at his sleeves tightly.
The pain seemed to penetrate her limbs through her vision.
Twenty minutes later, Jonathan came out of the bathroom after his shower. When he saw the message
from Aidan, he was so startled that he nearly dropped his phone in fright.
Has President Pearson been possessed by the Devil or something?
