Chapter 867 Cheating with Your Best Friend

Aiden pulled Justin's collar, and he lifted him slightly.

Despite this, Justin's smile did not waver. "Aiden, you should ask your grandfather before you ask me that question. It was Gordon who abandoned you and your mother, so why should I bear the consequences?"

Aiden's grip on Justin's collar loosened for a moment, and his expression turned tense.

Justin said undeterredly, "I consulted with doctors. They informed me that your son's illness is treatable. Remember the case in Jamesdon? He recovered substantially in just two or three years."

"So, you think two or three years are insufficient and told them to develop a stronger version?” Aiden replied coldly.

Justin's smile deepened. "You do know me well. Even so, I believe you still want to find a way to cure him. But as for me, I'll be disabled for life."

He spoke casually like it had nothing related to him. He said it without any resentment or hatred—just the satisfaction of revenge.

Aiden released him and patted the wrinkles on his clothes. "At least after all these years, you've finally told me the truth once," he said slowly.

"I once considered you as my true biological younger brother."

Aiden did not say anything. He just stepped back and stayed a distance from Justin. "Go back. I won't leave Highside, as you wish."

Justin's smile faded when he heard Aiden's words.

It shouldn't have been so easy.

At that moment, his assistant, who had been waiting behind him, received a phone call. His expression changed immediately after he answered the call. He walked over quickly, leaning down next to Justin, and said, "President Pearson, someone has broken into Pearson Family Estate and taken away..."

He did not need to finish the sentence. Justin already knew what had happened.

Justin looked back at Aiden and sighed. "So, you were waiting for me here."

He glanced at the silent woman who had been standing nearby. "She is not Leanna, right?"

The woman slowly took off her mask and hat. It was Zoe.

Justin chuckled and sighed. "Aiden, you never change. You can't take a little loss. Otherwise, you'll go to great lengths to get even."

"Isn't that what you're doing now?" Aiden coldly stared at him. "Whenever you want revenge, you can come to me, but you shouldn't involve others. Especially those I care about."

After saying that, Aiden turned and got into the car without hesitation.

Zoe quickly followed him.

Soon, the black sedan drove away. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

The assistant approached. "President Pearson..."

Justin smiled faintly. "Don't worry. He's surrounded by messes right now, too busy to deal with me."

...

Leanna had a restful night's sleep. When she woke up, Zoe was no longer by her side.

She instinctively reached for the bedside table as she wanted to make sure the time.

Looking at the bright daylight outside, Leanna thought that Aiden must have returned by now, so she lifted the covers and got out of bed. She was ready to go and meet him.

Just as she stepped out of the bedroom, a pink figure rushed toward her but abruptly stopped about half a meter away.

"Leanna, I missed you so much!!!"

For a moment, Leanna thought she had not fully woken up yet.

Her mouth half-opened as she yawned, and it took her a moment to react. "Charlotte..."

Charlotte held her hand and joyfully hopped around. "Leanna, do you miss me?"

Leanna smiled. "Of course, but how did you come here? Does your dad know?"

"My dad..." Before Charlotte could answer, Waylen came over and pulled her aside. "She secretly followed me here, and as for whether her dad knows or not... he probably does now."

Leanna was utterly speechless.

Did she sneak here again?

Charlotte pouted, "Geez, Leanna, don't listen to him. I asked Grandfather, Grandpa and Uncle—and Lachlan. They all agreed!"

After saying that, Charlotte made a silly face to Waylen.

Waylen responded with the same gesture.

Leanna could not help but laugh. They were like two mischievous kids.

But now that Waylen is here, could it be...

Leanna suddenly looked up and glanced toward the living room.

Waylen understood her thoughts and said, "Don't bother looking. It's just the two of us."

Leanna fell silent.

She asked, "So, what did you two come here for?"

"Travel," Waylen replied.

"And for the delicious food!" Charlotte added.

Leanna knew that Waylen would not leave the little guy in Jamesdon and come here for a trip without a reason, so she frowned and asked, "Did something happen?"

Waylen sat down on the sofa. "Nothing's wrong. It's just that your husband worried about you and sent me, the rising star in the medical field, to be your caretaker and take care of your daily life. Don't forget to pay me a salary."

Leanna was speechless once again. It really sounded like something Aiden would do.

Leanna pulled Charlotte over and sat down next to Waylen. "He never mentioned this to me. If I had known, I would definitely have refused. The reason he sent you is that during our checkup, the doctor clarified my condition and suggested I should take some precautions."

Waylen picked up an orange from the table and started peeling it. "Well, you've had a difficult pregnancy and need to be cautious. But it's not just about being a little careful. You have to maintain a calm mindset and avoid getting angry or overly emotional."

"I know. The doctor already told me that."

"Knowing it is not enough. You must learn to control yourself. You need to exercise your ability to

accept things."

Leanna's mouth twitched. "How do I do that?"

Waylen took out a file from his bag. "I have a set of emotional testing questions here. Why don't you give it a try?"

Leanna sighed. "Alright."

Waylen looked at the file and asked earnestly, "First question, which would make you angrier? Working overtime without pay while your boss promises you a promotion or having your work plagiarized and publicly mocked by someone who claims to be better than you?"

Leanna sincerely replied, "The empty promises by my boss."

"And the empty promises by your boss and plagiarism, which would make you angrier?"

"Plagiarism," Leanna answered.

"Let's further the question. Between being plagiarized and finding out that your husband cheated on you and the other woman was your best friend, which one would make you angrier?"

Leanna remained silent, feeling a bit uneasy.

She pondered silently before responding, "Can we change the topic? This question feels so strange..."

Waylen remained serious. "No, we can't change the test questions. It's all about common situations in

life. The more likely they are to happen, the more they can evoke your emotions."

Leanna thought carefully about that scenario, and it sent shivers down her spine.

She said, "Definitely the cheating by my husband..."

Waylen continued, "Okay, what about cheating versus Louis getting into a fight with someone and getting expelled from school? Which one would make you angrier?"

Leanna hesitated. "Louis wouldn't get into a fight and be expelled from school."

"And your husband wouldn't cheat on your best friend either. Let's assume it happened, okay? We're just doing an emotional test, right?"
