Chapter 564
Gordan pressed his entire weight against the cane in his hands as he demanded grimly, “You’ve been
making a ruckus here the entire afternoon. What exactly do you want?”
“Don’t you know what I want?” Aidan retorted dispassionately.
“I don’t know! All I know is that you’re getting increasingly out of hand! You didn’t even inform me, the
owner of the house, before barging in with so many people. Don’t you know that the public already
thinks that our entire family is a joke?”
“A joke?” A snort escaped Aidan’s lips. “Everything you do is a joke.”
At this point, Gordon couldn’t deny it anymore and said hotly, “Everything I do is for your own good as
well as for the sake of the entire Pearson Family!”
“Don’t worry. Once you’re dead, I’ll definitely ce a picture of you in the family house so that you can
bear witness to how the Pearson Family reached its doom step by step under your meticulous
nning,” Aidan said.
Gordon was so furious that he could barely stammer, “You… You’re… a wicked son!”

“It’s not the first time I’ve acted out. Aren’t you used to it yet?”
Once Gordon’s fury subsided, he sneered, “I knew that such a day would arrive. You’ve always been
rebellious, and the biggest regret in my life is bringing you back to the Pearson Family!”
“I’m sure it doesn’t feel as satisfying as burying myself into the grave with my own hands.”
Gordan restrained his fury as he snarled, “If this is how you’re going to do it, then I’ll make things clear
with you. You know what I want. That baby is the bloodline of the Pearson Family, so I won’t hurt him.
On the contrary, I’ll give him everything I have and make him the heir of the family.”
Aidan had nothing to say to that and merely watched him expressionlessly.
“Trust me, you definitely won’t lose out in this deal,” Gordon continued. “That’s your son, and you’re
going to give the Pearson Group to him in the future as well, aren’t you? So, what’s wrong with what
I’m doing? Furthermore, I don’t have many more years to live. Once I’m dead, he’ll only be a few years
old. Then, you can take him back to your side at that time. Not only will you be able to secure your
position in thepany, but you can even inherit the family without breaking a sweat. Isn’t that
perfect?”
“After all the evil deeds you’ve done, you still think that you have a few more years to live?” Aidan
drawled sardonically.
However, Gordon wasn’t angered by those words as he replied, “You’re still too young. I won’t be
standing here today if I ever bothered worrying about retribution.”
“Are you done with your bullsh*t yet?”
Gordan pressed his entire weight against the cane in his hands as he demanded grimly, “You’ve been
making a ruckus here the entire afternoon. What exactly do you want?”
Gordon paused momentarily before growling, “You should give it up. I won’t let you take him away
unless you do it over my dead body.”
Aidan’s lips curled into an icy smirk. “Are you threatening me or giving me an opportunity?”
Gordon merely tapped on his cane lightly and didn’t respond. Right then, someone brought the
unconscious Naomi out of the house.
He didn’t even turn his head at her as he said, “As long as you’re willing, we’ll each take a step back
andpromise. I’ll let you take her away. Or else, you can forget about meeting her after this.”
Back then, he wanted to look for Naomi precisely to deal with the situation today, and from the looks of
it now, the decision he made was correct.
The look on Aidan turned a few notches colder, but he didn’t answer.
“Get your priorities straight,” Gordon urged. “You should know that I’ll provide the best for your child
when he is here with me. However, if you insist on doing this, nobody will benefit from this situation.
Back then, your mother allowed me to take you back to the Pearson Family because she considered
your future and didn’t want you to stay in that ce with her. She is far wiser than you.”
Aidan refuted. “Is this how you threatened her back then?”
“This is not a threat. A smart person will know what the correct choice is.”
“Really? Then, I may have to disappoint you.”
Aidan raised his hand, and the men standing behind him immediately made their move. A shocked
expression shed over Gordon’s face as he didn’t expect Aidan to be so stubborn.
“Do you have any idea where you are now?” he bellowed. “Are you going to take me down here?”
“Aren’t you the one who has backed me into a corner?”
When Gordon wanted to say something, he was interrupted by the sounds of a baby crying behind him.
He jerked his head back anxiously and saw the nannying out of the house with the baby.
“He won’t stop crying, and we can’t do anything to make him stop…”
“Just let him cry his eyes out! Why the hell did youe out? Get back inside!” Gordon roared.
Right after he said the words, Aidan’s men surrounded them and blocked the nanny’s entrance into the
house. Nheless, she retreated a couple of steps backward as she held the baby tightly in her arms.
Gordon turned his attention back to Aidan as he threatened, “You better think before you act unless
you think nothing of their lives!”
“If anything happens to them, the Pearson Family will disappear from the face of the earth tonight,”
Aidan answered cially.
Gordon tried his best to suppress his anger, and it took a few seconds to calm himself before he began,
“Think over my offer. You’ve said it yourself that I don’t have many years left to live. So, why can’t you
just wait a little longer?”
“You’re right. I have nothing to consider. Since you don’t have many years left anyway, why don’t we
just end it tonight?”
Gordon gritted his teeth tightly together in anger and almost snapped his cane to pieces out of sheer
rage. This unruly, wicked son of mine!
Meanwhile, Leanna couldn’t be bothered to continue watching the scene unfold a few feet away from
them. All her attention was on the baby now because she thought that his cries seemed to be getting
weaker.
So, she sneakily shifted closer and got a better look under the streetlight in the backyard. Then, her
eyes widened in shock. That nanny had her back turned to everyone, but she was secretly covering the
baby’s nose and mouth, and all that was left of his cries was just a weak blubber.
Her jaw tightened at the sight, and without thinking of the consequences, she lunged forward, snatched
the baby from the nanny, and into her arms before anyone else realized what was happening.
The nanny had utterly let her guard down, so she only noticed that the baby had been taken away from
her when she saw her empty hands. During this crucial second, someone from Gordon’s side made a
move, and the sound of a gunshot pierced through the silent night.
Leanna held the baby tightly as she squeezed her eyes shut, but the pain she was awaiting didn’t
happen. Instead, she was in someone else’s embrace and heard a muffled grunt.
Amotion started to brew around her, and even Gordon struck the ground fiercely with his cane.
“Stop! Who gave you permission to shoot?!”
Even though he wanted to deal with Aidan, he wouldn’t choose to do it at such a time with so many
witnesses. Besides, the baby was here, and he wouldn’t let everything be a lost cause when he
had already expended all that effort to kidnap the baby. The instant someone started the fight,
whatever happened afterward would be irreversible.
Leanna panted heavily as she clutched the baby in her arms tightly. All she could hear was the sound
of wind whistling past her ears. While she was still in shock, she heard Aidan’s voice asking worriedly,
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
She instinctively shook her head and checked the baby in her arms. Although his face was ruddy, he
had started to wail loudly once more, immediately setting her tense heart at ease.
