Chapter 16 Mia Is Not Pregnant It was the part-timer again. Neither of them said anything as they
stared at each other. Just as Louis was about to step forward again, Aidan’s bodyguard appeared and
quickly subdued him. Mia and the Patheon Club’s manager rushed over just as the bodyguard was
asking Aidan on how to proceed with the situation. Aidan did not seem to have the patience to further
drag this on before coldly instructing, “Call the police.”
As such, the manager instantly rushed forward and pleaded, “President Pearson! President Pearson,
there must be some misunderstanding here. Louis doesn’t usually do this. Hey, Louis. Apologize to
President Pearson now…” Although Louis was restrained, he did not appear embarrassed; instead, he
replied coldly, “I won’t apologize. He knew what he did.” “Well, you tell me. What did I do?” Louis gave
Mia a side-eye before looking at Aidan and scoffed, “Everyone knows about your scandals.
Do I have to spell it out for you?” Mia’s gaping mouth was hanging in the air just as she was about to
refute, but she ended up swallowing her words upon meeting with Aidan’s indifferent gaze. “President
Pearson, when Miss Clark and… When she made a fuss at the entrance of Patheon Club previously,
many people witnessed it,” the manager admitted in embarrassment. Aidan returned his gaze to Louis
before raising his hand to motion the bodyguards to take him away. “Hand me his information,” Aidan
said to the manager. With Louis’ temper, he did not seem like a righteous man playing a white knight in
the eyes of Aidan. As soon as the manager left, Mia hurriedly called out, “President Pearson, I…” “Just
take what I gave you while I’m still nice and don’t even dream about other things by coming at me with
your pathetic ruses.” With that, he went straight into the empty private room next to him. Biting her
lower lip nervously, Mia was left standing alone and confused. How?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow can Leanna marry into the Pearson Family by worming her way in and when it comes to me, I
receive nothing? Soon enough, the manager arrived at the private room with Louis’ information.
“President Pearson, here’s all the information you asked for.” Aidan cast a glance on the document and
spit out two words, “Louis McKinney.” “Yes, President Pearson. He…” “Does he have a sister?” “I don’t
know about that. I haven’t heard him mention it,” the manager was perplexed. After that, Aidan set the
document down and gave the manager a phone number. “Phone this number and ask.” … It was
11.00PM and Leanna was lying on her bed after taking a shower. She was about to listen to music
before going to bed when her phone rang. “Hello. May I speak to Miss McKinney?” asked the person
on the other end of the phone. “Yes, speaking. May I know who this is?” “I’m the manager of Patheon
Club. Miss McKinney, is Louis your brother?”
The word ‘Patheon Club’ showered her a sense of discomfort, followed by her brother’s name which
led her to be stunned and concerned. “Yes, he is. What happened?” “Louis is a part-timer here, but he
hit a guest while he was working earlier and I might need you to come over, Miss McKinney,” the
manager explained politely. As such, Leanna immediately lifted her sheets and answered, “I’ll be right
there!” “Don’t worry, Miss McKinney. Take your time.” For a moment, she was silent. Leanna hurriedly
changed her clothes after hanging up the phone. As soon as she walked out of the bedroom, Zoe
asked, “Nana, where are you going at this hour?”
“Louis has beaten someone, so I have to go over to the Patheon Club,” she replied quickly. “F*ck. Wait
a minute, I’ll get changed and drive you there.” Zoe immediately became alert and offered to
accompany her friend. Twenty minutes later, their car stopped at the entrance of Patheon Club. Leanna
and Zoe entered one after another, but one of them was stopped by the manager when they arrived at
the VIP room on the second floor. “Only Miss McKinney is needed.” A concerned Zoe wanted to say
something before she was assured by her friend of her safety. “Wait for me here, Zoe.” After saying
that, Leanna looked at the smiling manager and had a gut feeling that something was sketchy.
“Call the cops if I don’t come out in ten minutes,” she told Zoe. “Miss McKinney, please,” the manager
said as he pushed open the private room door. The private room door was shut after she entered.
Looking at the closed door, Leanna clenched her phone nervously and slowly walked further into the
room. After only a few steps, she noticed a man with a lowered gaze sitting alone on the couch. At that
sight, she could not be any more speechless. “President Pearson,” she addressed Aidan as she came
to a halt. However, he remained motionless as if he was asleep. “If there is nothing much, I will leave
first,” she said after about thirty seconds of silence. “Leanna McKinney.” “First, it was your father. Now,
it’s your brother. Why don’t you just tell me what you want?” Aidan opened his eyes calmly to look at
her in an indifferent manner. “I have no idea…” “If you come clean to me now, I might consider fulfilling
your pathetic wishes, but if you haven’t had enough of this game, don’t blame me for being ruthless.
” Leanna pursed her lips, unclear on what to say for a moment. Judging from the way he acted and the
sly attitude of the manager earlier, she thought that Aidan deliberately planned this to trick her into
coming here. However, based on his words, that was clearly not the case. She squinted in the dim light
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand saw that the corner of his mouth appeared to be bruised with a red scab. “Did Louis come to see
you?” she asked after a brief silence. “What do you think?” He stood up and approached her. After
being forced into the corner, she could finally see the wound on the corner of his mouth and the bruise
on his face much clearer. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know he’d come to look for you,” she apologized. “Do you
think I’d buy this?” Aidan’s eyes were half-squinted while his long fingers were pinching her chin and
raising it slightly. “I can’t do anything if you don’t believe me.
Louis knows I’m getting a divorce. Maybe he thinks you did me wrong, so…” Meeting his cold gaze,
Leanna tried to explain herself. “Then, tell me. How did I do you wrong?” She fell silent once again, but
this time avoiding eye contact. Don’t you know what you have done? Do I have to spell it out? Are you
so proud of the things you’ve done to me, then? Seeing that she was too embarrassed to respond, he
spoke for her instead, “Your brother believes that I have cheated on Mia and gotten her pregnant. Don’t
you think the same?” After a moment, Leanna finally gave a patronizing smile. “Haha! President
Pearson, it’s a joke. There’s no such thing.” For someone like him, the act of cheating might even be
justified as seeking for one’s true love. So, who was her to criticize him? “Come on here,” Aidan
responded while turning and walking toward the couch. She knew that she was in the wrong in this
case, so she obediently followed suit. Then, Aidan sat down on the couch with his slender legs
crossed.
While looking at the medicine box on the table, he raised his chin to signal. Upon receiving his signal,
Leanna pouted and took the cotton swabs and iodine from the medicine box. She then dutifully treated
his wound while muttering, “If I had arrived later, your wound would have been healed.” He raised his
gaze slowly and looked into her eyes. “Mia is not pregnant.” Just like that, he dropped the bomb.
