Chapter 541
The instant Aidan left the Pearson Group's meeting room, Jonathan came over in a hurry and said,
"Something has happened, President Pearson."
"What's the matter?"
"Mrs. Pearson was involved in a car accident ten minutes ago…" Seeing how the man's expression
changed instantly, Jonathan hurriedly continued, "It wasn't very serious, though. Her car only got rear-
ended. We've sent her to the hospital, so don't worry about it, President Pearson. She isn't at risk of
losing her life."
Aidan turned around and strode toward the elevator before questioning coldly, "Have you looked into
the matter?"
"Yes. It seems to be an accident. Those involved in the accident were cooperative, and they've gone to
the hospital as well."
Aidan pressed his lips together and entered the elevator without saying a word. While standing behind
him, Jonathan added, "I'll follow up on the investigation."
Aidan ordered, "Don't let anyone find out about the car accident."
"Yes."
"Whoever makes a move at this point is the culprit."
Jonathan nodded. "I got it."
Aidan arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later. His subordinate came over and reported, "According to
the doctor, Mrs. Pearson only suffered a mild concussion and passed out, President Pearson. She'll be
fine after being hospitalized for two days."
"Where is she?"
"She's in the ward now."
Aidan stopped in his tracks and asked coldly, "Where are the people who rear-ended her car?"
The subordinate replied, "The police are asking them questions outside Mrs. Pearson's ward."

"Yes."
In front of the ward, a man explained, "We didn't do it intentionally, sir. We didn't notice the roadblock in
front of us, and she stopped her car abruptly. We couldn't step on the brakes in time!"
Another person played along by saying, "Yes, that's right. Our car has been badly damaged as well.
We'll just ask for an insurance claim, so she won't need to compensate for anything. We'll just consider
it a stroke of bad luck."
The police shot them a look. "Are you saying that you're not in the wrong? You should've focused on
the road. Don't you keep your eyes on the road while driving?"
The man said, "I'm not trying to blame her or anything, but if I were in her position today, I wouldn't
have stepped on the brakes so abruptly, and all of this wouldn't have happened. As you know, female
drivers can be clumsy sometimes. I guess she was just anxious—"
"Stop, stop, stop. I don't want to hear such nonsense and don't blame it all on her just because she's a
woman. You should've kept a safe distance from her car. Based on what we've seen from the
surveillance footage and the traces on the road, you're fully responsible for this accident."
"I suppose both parties are in the wrong. You can punish us as you see fit, and we won't refute it. Can
we leave now?"
The police said, "No, you can't leave before she regains consciousness."
The men exchanged glances and fell silent.
Just then, a series of footsteps were heard coming from the corridor as Aidan came into sight. When
both men saw him, they quickly hung their heads low. Watching as Aidan approached, the police
asked, "Are you the patient's relative?"
Aidan stopped and replied, "I'm her husband."
"Alright, then. I just have a few questions for her. When she wakes up, I'll talk to her. You may take a
look at her."
Aidan grunted, but before he entered the ward, he swept a glance over the flinching men. Then, he
took a look at Jonathan and shuffled into the room. Following that, Jonathan stepped forward and said,
"Hello, I'd like to know the details of the car accident."
The police pointed at one of the men. "You'll tell him everything in detail, and don't spout any nonsense
again."
…
Presently, Leanna was lying inside the ward. Her forehead was wrapped in a layer of bandages, and
her breathing was stable. Aidan sat down beside her and took her warm hand. He gently let out a
breath, feeling relieved.
Over 20 minutes later, Leanna's eyelashes started fluttering as she slowly opened her eyes. Aidan
touched her hair and whispered, "Do you feel any discomfort?"
Leanna looked at him and frowned. As she parted her lips, she replied in a hoarse voice, "I'm just a
little dizzy."
"The doctor said you're suffering from a mild concussion. It's only natural that you feel dizzy. They'll
check on you soon."
Leanna nodded and curled up her fingers to grab the man's hand. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
Aidan's lips curved into a smile. "Okay."
Several minutes later, a few doctors came in and examined Leanna. One of them then said, "So far, we
don't see any problems other than a mild concussion. We'll observe her for several days, and she'll be
discharged if everything's okay."
After the doctors left, the police came in and spoke to Leanna. As such, Aidan stepped out of the ward.
Jonathan approached him and said, "I've talked to them, President Pearson."
Aidan stared at both men with a piercing gaze.
One of them hurriedly said, "Mister, we didn't want the accident to happen either. Accidents are
inevitable when driving on the road. Moreover, we're injured as well, and the front of our car is
damaged…" The man faltered when he noticed how Aidan's expression darkened.
A few minutes later, Aidan said, "Since it's just an accident, you may leave now."

Both men were startled as they couldn't believe what they just heard. It never crossed their minds that
Aidan would let them off so easily.
Aidan questioned, "What's wrong? Do you want me to send you home?"
"No, no, no. There's no need for that. We'll leave on our own."
"Yes, yes. We'll take our leave now."
They then left the place in a hurry. Aidan ordered impassively, "Follow them."
"Yes."
When both men left the hospital, they hailed a cab and returned to their own homes. Upon receiving
the news, Jonathan said to Aidan, "They're very cautious, President Pearson. They didn't expose
anything."
Aidan ordered, "Keep following them and verify their identities."
After a grunt, Jonathan left the place.
Meanwhile, upon returning home, one of the men fished out his phone and dialed a number. "We've
completed the task, Mr. Ollander."
"How was it? Did Aidan suspect anything?"
"I suppose he didn't."
Jimmy snapped, "What do you mean by that? You idiot!"
The man explained, "Perhaps Aidan thought it was an accident, so he let us go. However, we headed
home straight because we were worried he'd send some people to tail us. I'm sure he can't find any
traces."
Jimmy snorted. "At least you didn't ruin my plan. This serves as a warning to that woman. If she dares
to be so arrogant in front of me again, a car accident won't be the next thing that awaits her."
"Mr. Ollander, we were going to teach her a lesson, but she didn't open the door, and several people
came over in a hurry. As such, we could only give up."
"Never mind. That's more than enough. If you had done more, it would've aroused their suspicions."
After a pause, Jimmy continued, "Just carry on with your stuff over the next few days, and don't come
looking for me. When the dust settles, I'll send you both somewhere else. Don't come back again, for
I'm worried Aidan will discover something."
