I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 246

Back at the Pearson Family Estate, a subordinate was reporting, "We have been searching for two days and hired a professional rescue team to search that sea area, but still no signs of Miss Anna. It's possible that—"

Without waiting for him to finish, Gordon scrunched his brows and waved his hand in dismissal.

Anna's mother was sobbing her heart away on the couch. "It must be that b*stard. It must be him! What had Anna done to deserve this? She's so young and still hasn't explored the world, but she hasn't been found yet. I only have one daughter. How can I live on?"

Gordon sat on the couch and furrowed his brow and scolded in a deep voice, "I've told you to not provoke him, but you didn't listen. Look at what happened now. If Anna had stayed at home and remained in Highside, he would not be able to do anything with my eyes on her. But you just had to send her away and serve him the opportunity on a silver platter."

"I don't care! I want that b*stard dead! Even if I have to risk all I have, I would not let him off the hook."

However, Justin just quietly questioned, "So, only Anna's life is valuable? What about Aidan's two children who didn't live to even see the world?"

Anna's mother rebuked him, "What are you saying, Justin? Anna is your sister! Are you still taking that b*stard's side now?"

"I've warned Anna many times before this. You can't blame anyone that she turned out this way."

Anna's mother shot up. The pain of losing her only daughter had made her lose all reason as she sneered at him, "Since you put it that way, you could only blame your luck and not anyone for becoming a cripple!"

Sienna coldly interrupted them, "Are you done?"

"Do you hear what your son is saying? Let me tell you now. My daughter is gone and I don't care about anything else. Everyone's going down with me! Bringing the Pearson Family down with me seems like a good idea."

On the side, Anna's father who had kept quiet all this while pulled on her arm. "That's enough. Shouldn't we focus on searching for Anna now?"

However, she slapped away his hand. "What's there to search for? Are you blind or deaf? Your daughter is dead. It was that b*stard that caused her death!"

Sienna said impatiently, "So what if he was the cause? Do you have evidence? You should think about avenging Anna instead of making a scene here."

Anna's mother snickered, "Now, I know Anna's life means nothing to you lot. All of you have only been using her. I will avenge her myself!"

She grabbed her bag and left without a second look.

Anna's father could only nod at Gordon, but didn't know what to say and left after her.

After they left, the big house fell eerily silent.

Gordon held onto his cane as he was deep in thought.

He honestly didn't think that Aidan would go to this extent to harm Anna. When Anna left this time, it was done secretly with only he and Lloyd knowing about it. They even took the long route through Weavside to avoid Aidan's men, but he still found them out.

It seemed like it was becoming harder to go against Aidan.

At that moment, a man walked in and whispered into Sienna's ear.

She asked, "Are you sure?"

The man answered, "Yes. Even though she had left the place when our men got there, it's her."

"Order the rest to ask the surrounding people. Check if there are other leads."

The man nodded and left as Gordon frowned and asked, "What is it?"

Sienna coldly replied, "We found Naomi."

He was not happy with her. "Why are you looking for her?"

"I have my plans. It doesn't concern you."

Since Aidan was arrogant and so full of himself, she would like to see what he could do if Naomi died before his eyes.

Even though Gordon was annoyed by her curt reply, he could not say anything else. To be fair, they were in the same boat. Even if the Zielinski Family had gone down, they still were powerful.

Besides, he had placed all his eggs in one basket on the marriage between Justin and Georgina.

After a while, he instructed, "I don't care about that. Justin, the engagement party has been arranged for the 15th of next month."

Without waiting for a reply, he continued, "You are the eldest son of the Pearson Family. It's time for you to bear your responsibilities. You know that this marriage alliance isn't just about you. It concerns the future of the Pearson Family."

Justin helplessly replied after a few seconds, "Aidan is of the Pearson blood. He's not our enemy."

Gordon slammed his cane onto the floor. "It is precisely because he is of Pearson blood that he is the biggest threat to us! He has become uncontrollable for a long time. There's nothing he can't do. If he can harm Anna now, who do you think is next?"

Justin closed his eyes as he refused to answer.

Gordon stood up. "This is final. We need the Crossleys' powers to take back the Pearson Group. If not, Anna would only be the start."

After he left, Sienna commented, "I'm okay with you marrying Gina since you both grew up together."

However, Justin scoffed. "You really think that she would willingly marry a cripple like me?"

Her face changed as she got worked up. "Since the marriage has been agreed upon, it can only mean that she was willing. You are not any lesser compared to that b*stard. Why would she say no?"

"You don't need to comfort me. I know my situation."

With that, he rolled his wheelchair and left.

…

Leanna was playing with her phone with her head down in the restaurant. She did not want to see the man sitting opposite her at all.

On the other hand, Aidan lightly tapped his fingers against the glass as he stared at her. It was unclear what he was thinking.

After a while, she could not continue to feign ignorance and put her phone down. "Do you have anything you want to say to me, President Pearson?"

He raised his glass and took a sip before replying, "I've got lots to say, but you might not want to hear it."

That sentence felt oddly familiar to Leanna.

"Then, fine. I don't want to hear it anyways."

However, he told her, "I will be asking my men to follow you. You shouldn't go anywhere alone and call me if anything happens."

"Why?"

He explained calmly, "They might take out their anger on you regarding what happened with Anna."

"Huh?"
