Chapter 71 I Hope Your Family Line Perishes After bringing Leanna to the president’s office, Jonathan
informed her, “Miss McKinney, President Pearson is in a meeting. Please wait a moment.” Leanna
nodded lightly. “Thank you.” He poured a cup of water for her and reminded her warmly, “President
Pearson is in a meeting with the board of directors, and the chairman is also here, so it might turn out
unpleasant. If he loses his temper and lashes at you later, please don’t take it to heart…” “It’s fine.
Even if he grabs a rope and strangles me on the spot, I won’t be surprised.” Jonathan was left
speechless.
He subconsciously felt an itch in his neck and quickly left. The board of directors of Aidan was held
much longer than expected. The previous night, Gordon announced the marriage of Zayn and Anna at
Sienna’s birthday party. After the Pearson Family and the Barnett Family were officially married,
Gordon could not wait to make use of the situation to alter the Pearson Family and slowly take over
Aidan’s power. Leanna waited from the morning until it was dark. While waiting, she became hungry
but just as she thought about going downstairs to grab a quick meal, she recalled the new regulations
that targeted Lux Jewelry. If she had not contacted Jonathan beforehand, she might have been
stopped downstairs. Fortunately, Jonathan also kept an eye on her. Not only did he bring lunch to her,
he even dropped some snacks for her. For a moment, Leanna doubted whether she came here to
negotiate. After eating the last mini cake, she cleaned up the trash on the table and lay on the couch.
Well, it was better to have a full stomach than an empty stomach if she were to fight later.

Once she was full, she would easily become drowsy. When Aidan returned to the office, he saw her
lying on the couch sleeping soundly. He was also amused to find leftover food packaging in the trash
can in front of her. Sitting across from her, he loosened his tie and turned his gaze to her belly, which
was covered by baggy clothes, which caused his eyes to darken. Leanna had not slept a wink last
night. Now that she was fully fed and content, she fell asleep on the couch like it was her own home.
When she rolled over in her slumber, she suddenly felt like half of her body was dangling in the air. She
immediately flung open her eyes to see a man standing in front of her. After a few seconds, she
realized where she was. Aidan sat back on the couch again and questioned coldly, “Have you gotten
enough sleep?” Leanna rubbed her temples, adjusted her posture quickly, and sat upright. “Hello,
President Pearson.” “It hasn’t been three days yet. Are you sure you have thought it through?”
Leanna pursed her lips. “It’s useless for me to think about it anymore when you’ve already found out
everything. There are no other offers you might suggest to me anymore, President Pearson.” Leanna
pushed the kraft paper bag in front of Aidan. “I don’t want this since it doesn’t belong to me. I also
believe that even if I sign it, you have your ways to make this contract void.” Aidan was noncommittal
and sneered, “You are smart when you should be. You never disappoint me.” Although this document
gave Leanna half of the property in his name, it was actually similar to the existence of a primary card
and a sub-card. She had the right to use it, but she did not have the right to make a final decision.
If he did not authorize it, she would not be able to do anything. She ignored the ridicule in his words
and continued, “I have two conditions. If you will agree to them, I will also… agree to your request.”
“Tell me.” “First, the money I owe you is written off. From now on, I owe you nothing.” Aidan looked at
her with dark eyes, and after a few seconds, he answered coldly, “Okay.” Leanna clenched her hands
before continuing, “Secondly… I hope you will help me solve the issue with my brother. I know you
have a solution.” Aidan withdrew his gaze and had a poker face. “Why do you think that I will offend
others for your sake?”
“It is not for me, but for yourself.” “Huh?” “You should be aware that if I visit your parents at Pearson
Family Estate and tell them my requests, they will give me whatever I want.” He was stunned for a
moment before a thunderstorm flashed in his dark eyes. Leanna felt the temperature in the room
plummet and she could not help shivering from the cold. Despite that, she did not take her words back.
If she showed weakness in the negotiation, she would lose badly and would not be able to save
anything. After a long time, Aidan laughed out loud. “You’re a smart one, Leanna.” Although he was
smiling, there was a biting chill in his eyes. “I only have these two conditions. It couldn’t be easier for
you,” uttered Leanna. “I promise you.” She felt that the heavy stone in her heart had finally fallen.
Lowering her eyes, she asked, “When do you think I should…” Aidan’s voice was cold as he decided,
“Tomorrow.” Leanna probably did not expect it to be so fast, so she choked a little, unable to speak for
a while. He looked at her coldly. “Why? Are you regretting it?” “No.” Leanna shook her head gently.
“Thank you for giving me a night to prepare.” “I’m just not free now.” With that, Leanna got up. “I’ll be
heading off now and won’t be taking your time anymore.” After she took a few steps, Aidan’s voice

“I have a lot to say, but you might not be willing to listen.” Aidan tapped the couch with his slender
fingers and uttered leisurely, “I’ll give you a chance.” “If you want to hear it so much, I’ll tell you.” She
continued, “To be honest, even though there are many things I wanna say, all of them carry the same
meaning. It is my sincere blessing to you. I hope your family line perishes.” Aidan was completely
dumbfounded upon hearing that. After Leanna finished speaking, she left without looking back. The
biggest reason was that she feared the b*stard would throw her downstairs in a fit of rage. After leaving
Pearson Group, she could finally let out a breath of relief. Just as she was about to take a cab, the road
in front of her was blocked. Leanna raised her head and her pupils dilated as she took two steps back.
Jethro had a bandage on his head and his smile was crooked, which gave him a creepy and terrifying
expression. “My lovely daughter, I knew it was right to wait for you here,” he said. “You—” As soon as
Leanna opened her mouth, she felt someone covering her mouth and nose from behind. She did not
even have time to call for help before she was dragged into the van next to her. He was obviously
prepared this time. In the car, Leanna’s hands were tied together. Staring at Jethro coldly, she
questioned, “What are you doing?!” He replied, “Don’t worry, Nana. I am your father. Why would I hurt
you? But since you are divorced, I am naturally obliged to help you find another husband.” She felt a
bone-chilling sensation before scolding incredulously, “Do you even know what you’re doing?!” “Don’t
make such a big fuss. If it wasn’t for me, could you have married into the Pearson Family? I’m doing
this for your own good.”
