Chapter 602 Find Out the Truth of the Past

As Aidan stood inside the private clubhouse, his facial features were getting grimmer while every inch of him radiated coldness.

He was still a step too late.

Jonathan said, “President Pearson, it looks like Lachlan is deliberately avoiding us.”

Aidan’s face was cold and impassive, and he didn’t say anything.

At this time, Jonathan’s eyes caught something glinting on the rectangular dining table.

He walked over to pick it up, then turned his head to refer to Aidan. “Look at this, President Pearson. Does it belong to the young master?”

Aidan took a big stride forward as he heard Jonathan’s words.

Jonathan held a longevity lock in his hand, which Aidan’s mother had put on for the little guy.

Aidan took it and clutched it tightly in his fist.

They were indeed taken away by Lachlan.

Jonathan tried to sound Aidan out. “President Pearson…”

Aidan cast an eye on the black car parked outside the door and said in his icy voice, “Tell the Woodleys that if I don’t see Leanna and the child before 8.00AM, I’ll throw the girl into the river.”

“Okay, I’ll take care of it now.”

Not far away, Charlotte was leaning on the car window and struggling to hear what they were saying. She couldn’t hear anything, however, due to the great distance between them.

She asked when she saw them coming along, “Have you found Lachlan?”

Aidan fixed his gaze on her face, which was neither cold nor warm.

She was perplexed by his gaze, and she couldn’t help but flinch away from danger.

Half an hour later, Charlotte’s father received the news that Charlotte was in Aidan’s hands. He told the Woodley Family to hand over Leanna and the little guy before 8.00AM.

Charles Woodley frowned. “What’s wrong with Aidan? When did Charlotte disappear from the birthday party?”

His subordinate replied, “I just looked into it. Aidan has been in Jamesdon for two days and seems to be looking for Mr. Woodley. He probably heard that Mr. Woodley would attend Miss Woodley’s birthday party, so he went there today. As for how she was taken away by him…”

Charles became agitated when his subordinate hesitated for a moment and didn’t continue his report. Thus, Charles demanded sternly, “What the hell happened? There were so many of you, yet you watched him take her away?!”

“No, sir. Miss Woodley left with him of her own accord. We didn’t receive the information in advance and didn’t know what was going on. So, no one stopped Miss Woodley as she walked away.”

As Aidan stood inside the private clubhouse, his facial features were getting grimmer while every inch of him radiated coldness.

Charles sat down on the couch and took a deep breath. “What about Lachlan?”

“As you know, we have never been able to find out Mr. Woodley’s whereabouts, so… we don’t know the exact situation, either.”

“Pass the news to Lachlan; if Charlotte has any mishaps, I’ll make things arduous for him!”

“Yes.”

Soon, the news reached Lachlan.

Several members of the Woodley Family, led by Charles, came forward to press Lachlan to solve the matter at once and bring Charlotte back to the Woodley Family.

Outside the laboratory, Waylen lamented, “What shall we do now? Judging from Aidan’s temper, he probably meant what he said. He really meant it.”

Lachlan put away his phone. “Send Leanna over tomorrow morning.”

“Do you think it would work? He wants both of them.”

“If it doesn’t work, let him push Charlotte into the river. No one would die since the weather is still warm.”

Waylen rolled his eyes at Lachlan after hearing his words. Then, he added, “But Leanna would definitely be unwilling to leave. How are you going to persuade her?”

Lachlan tucked one hand into the pocket of his pants. “She will go.”

“Why?”

“Let her take the child away, and we will provide no further assistance. Either that, or she leaves the child here so that he can continue to receive treatment. Which do you think she will choose?”

Waylen clicked his tongue and argued, “I think you underestimate the importance of a child to a mother.”

Lachlan smiled slightly. “It is because of its importance that she would choose the best path for him.”

Something came to Waylen’s mind, so he did not utter a word.

Lachlan added, “Tell her what I said, let her think about it, and leave. No matter what choice she makes, no one will stop her.”

Waylen grumbled, “Always leave the drudgery to me, huh.”

He still turned around and walked toward the laboratory after the conversation.

Lachlan instructed his men beside him, “Bring Oscar here.”

Oscar was just nearby, so he appeared in front of Lachlan a brief moment later. Then, he asked, “How is the child now?”

“So-so. The newly developed medicine can suppress his symptoms but cannot cure him. It is impossible for him to get well at the moment.”

Oscar frowned and cursed, “F*ck!” After that, he added, “Whom the hell did this?”

Lachlan paused for a few seconds before saying, “You said earlier that the medicine bottle was found in Sienna’s room, right?”

Oscar nodded. “Aidan said so.”

“That’s interesting.” Lachlan laughed at himself. “I became Sienna’s accomplice; dead men tell no tales, so there’s nothing I can do now to remove the stigma from my name.”

“That’s interesting.” Lachlan laughed at himself. “I became Sienna’s accomplice; dead men tell no tales, so there’s nothing I can do now to remove the stigma from my name.”

“It’s not just this. When the Pearson Family took the child away, the people related to this were also from Jamesdon. The child went missing after coming here, so you bear the deepest suspicions.”

Lachlan snorted. “It seems that they have been plotting for a long time.”

Oscar was silent for a moment before saying, “I think someone deliberately pointed the finger at Jamesdon, and they led Aidan here only for one reason.”

Lachlan’s black eyes narrowed slightly.

Oscar continued, “Let him find out the truth of the past.”

Lachlan looked at the river scenery in the distance and said nothing. He gently tapped his knee with his long fingers and said after a while, “How long have you been with Aidan?”

Oscar replied, “Eighteen years.”

Less than two years after Aidan was taken back to the Pearson Family, Oscar was sent to his side in the name of transferring to another school and remained there until now.

Lachlan said, “Head back to Highside secretly to find out how the nutrient injection got into Sienna’s hands and who is manipulating all of this.”

“Okay, got it.”

Oscar was about to leave when Lachlan called out to him, “There’s one more thing.”

…

In the laboratory’s lounge, Leanna sat on the couch, leaning against the crib beside her and staring at the little guy who slept soundly in a daze.

When she left, she put the longevity lock the little guy had been wearing in the private clubhouse. She didn’t know if Aidan had seen it.

Now, she could only contact Aidan this way.

When Leanna was lost in thought, the door of the lounge was opened to reveal Waylen walking in. “Hello, are you still awake?”

Leanna looked up expressionlessly at him.

Waylen mentioned, “It looks like we probably can’t keep you here anymore.” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Am I the one who wanted to stay here?”

He knew that they were in the wrong. He cleared his throat and repeated what Lachlan had asked him to say, as it had been told to him. Only then did he say, “He’s okay with either choice that you make; even if you want to take the child and leave, we will not stop you.”

Leanna replied calmly, “I don’t trust you guys, so I won’t choose either way.”

Waylen did not expect such a reply from her and scratched his head miserably.
