Chapter 565

The situation made Gordon furrow his brows deeply, and he turned to the nanny, who was panic- stricken and had fallen to the ground with a loud thud. "It's not my fault! It's Mrs. Pearson who told me to do it!"

Gordon was taken aback as he demanded, "What are you talking about?"

She answered tremulously, "It's Mrs. Pearson who told me to suffocate that child in front of you. I-I'm merely following her orders…"

Even if it was Gordon, his heart shuddered at her confession. Suffocate the child in secret in front of us. How heartless is she that she could bring herself to do something like this?

Aidan released Leanna as he intoned icily, "I almost forgot about her."

Gordon was in the wrong in this current situation. So, he didn't have the cheeks to say anything, merely donning a grim face as he walked toward the front yard with his cane.

His men followed behind him and left the spot, but Leanna stood there and pursed her lips with an unreadable look on her face.

Right then, Oscar rushed over with two doctors; one to examine Naomi, and another wanted to check the baby in Leanna's arms.

However, she tilted to the side and held the baby protectively in her embrace.

The helpless doctor turned to Aidan, who said to Leanna, "He's been crying non-stop. Let the doctor examine him."

Leanna raised her head, and their eyes met; all that was left in her eyes were wariness and distrust. His body tensed at her gaze, and he parted his lips to speak, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything.

Eventually, she sidestepped him, went to the doctor, and asked, "Is it alright if I hold the baby?"

The doctor nodded and started examining the baby. Jonathan and Oscar watched this scene and shared a look with each other, where they saw pity in each other's eyes.

This time, it was completely over for Aidan.

Oscar cleared his throat as he stepped forward and said to Aidan, "I just received news that Celia is… Dead and the murderer is Raymond."

Aidan froze for a moment, and a dazed look appeared on his face before he said softly, "I got it. Take care of the situation here. I'm going over there."

"Hey," Oscar said, grabbing his arm. "Don't be rash and see how Old Master Pearson is going to handle it."

"Okay."

After Aidan left, Oscar withdrew his hand. He scrunched his eyebrows in confusion, thinking his palm

felt rather wet. So, he checked his opened palm and saw that it was stained with blood.

He became stunned and wanted to stop Aidan, but it was too late, as he was already long gone.

As for Naomi, the doctor examined her and said that she was only injected with a small dose of

tranquilizer and would regain consciousness soon.

In the meantime, the baby in Leanna's arms gradually stopped crying, only sobbing softly and fidgeting occasionally.

The doctor kept away his stethoscope. "He's probably just in shock. Fortunately, you showed up on time, so he didn't suffocate. If you were a second later, his condition might not look so good."

Leanna's arms tightened around the baby at his words, and a thin layer of cold sweat formed on her back as her heart trembled with fear.

"Miss McKinney," Jonathan began, approaching her, but she didn't say a thing to him when she saw him and went to the other side with the baby.

Her defensive reaction rendered him speechless, and he thought, That's it. It's over this time.

Not long afterward, there were movements from the back door, and Louis ran over together with Elijah.

After he saw the blood stains on the ground, he turned to Leanna and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Leanna shook her head. "I'm alright."

Elijah swept his gaze across the surroundings with a frown. He could only imagine what had happened here earlier.

When Oscar saw that the cavalry had arrived, he told Jonathan, "It should be fine now. Take care of Aidan's mother while I check what's happening in the front yard. I can stop him in case anything

happens."

Jonathan nodded. "Okay."

As Oscar left, the people around started to disperse as well, and Leanna shut her eyes before saying suddenly, "Louis, hold me steady."

Immediately, Louis raised his hands and held her arms. Only then did he realize that she was shaking like a leaf. Coupled with her request, he reckoned that she could no longer stand up without support.

Elijah approached them and offered, "Leanna, I'll take you and the baby away from here first."

Yet, she shook her head and said softly, "No, thanks."

A few minutes later, she passed the baby to Louis when she had recovered enough strength. "Hold him and never let go of him or pass him to anyone before I return."

Jonathan sensed the enmity in her tone as he lowered his head in guilt next to them.

A frown appeared on Elijah's face. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to make a clean break," she said.

Elijah said, "Leanna—"

"I can go by myself."

…

Sienna sat on the couch as she smirked at the sound of a gunshot in the distance, appearing relaxed and comfortable. She didn't know how long had passed until she heard someone approaching the door. Then, Gordon roared, "Have you lost your mind?"

She glanced at him and said casually, "What about me? Since it's destined that you can never get Aidan under your control, I'm just doing you a favor and putting an end to future trouble. What's wrong with that?"

Gordon shook with fury as he hissed, "I think you've really lost your mind. Why did you choose to provoke Aidan? Do you have any idea that he was even planning to kill me tonight? Do you think he's going to let you off after that?"

Sienna pulled the shawl tighter around herself without even flinching. "I thought he already wanted to kill me a long time ago."

"Yes! But why do you think he didn't kill you yet? If it isn't because of Justin, do you think you can live this long? You should now—"

"To tell you the truth, I already lost the will to live a long time ago. My son is in this state, and nobody knows how miserable he is other than me. But of all things you do, you decided to torture him further by bringing Aidan back. That's just another way of telling him that he's useless! You let Aidan grow up in front of him—running, jumping, and moving in ways that he can't—and even slowly handed the Pearson Group to him. Do you know how painful this is to Justin?"

"You're too paranoid," Gordon said. "Justin never felt this way."

Sienna sneered. "That's because he's silly. He's so foolish that he actually takes that illegitimate son as his real younger brother. So, what can I do? I can only pave the way for him and do the things that he should be doing."

An exasperated Gordon waved his hand. "Leave now. My men can still hold them back for a while, but don't return after you leave. I'll send Justin abroad with you after a while, and you can also—"

"Why should I leave? Aidan wants to kill me, eh? Then, let him do it. He won't be living his life peacefully even if I'm dead."

The trap I set up can only be triggered once I'm dead, she thought.

Gordon couldn't help but shake his head in annoyance, and he didn't know what to say. Just then, someone ran in anxiously from outside. "Old Master, Young Master Aidan has made his way here."

A knot formed between Gordon's brows. "Hurry, bring Justin back immediately."

This afternoon, Justin had gone to the hospital for a checkup and had yet to return, and now, the only one that could stop Aidan was him.
