Chapter 571
At the press conference, Jonathan appeared after all the reporters had arrived.
He smiled and said, “Sorry for keeping you all waiting. The reason why we’re having the press
conference today is to announce three things.”
The previous noisy scene fell silent immediately.
Jonathan said, “The rumors on the inte these past two days are all false. Mrs. Pearson has indeed
passed away, but she wasn’t murdered; she hadmitted suicide. The reason Old Mr. Pearson
became paralyzed was that he witnessed Mrs. Pearson’s suicide with his own eyes, which caused him
to be traumatized and immediately triggered a cerebral infarction.”
As soon as he said this, there was a lot of discussion below the stage.
Most of them asked, “Why did shemit suicide?”
Jonathan replied, “The reason for the suicide will not be disclosed to the public for the time being.
There were many people present when Mrs. Pearsonmitted suicide, and I also have a forensic
report, so the authenticity of Mrs. Pearson’s suicide can be confirmed.”
Before the reporters could ask any further, he continued, “The second thing is that I have seen many
ridiculousments iming that President Pearson nned the car ident that caused the
paralysis of Young Master Pearson twenty years ago. Ladies and gentlemen, President Pearson was
not even ten years old at that time, and anyone who ims that he nned the car ident is either
maliciously ndering him or has serious mental issues.”
Regarding this rumor, if it had been circted in the past, most people would not believe it. However,
this time, with Sienna’s death and Gordon Pearson’s paralysis happening together, the rumor did not
seem as imusible, and it appeared to be something Aidan might’ve done.
However, it was only after Jonathan’s reminder that everyone realized Aidan was just a child twenty
years ago and could not have nned the car ident. Needless to say, it was ridiculous.
At this moment, someone in the crowd asked, “Why isn’t President Pearson here at today’s press
conference?”
Someone else chimed in immediately, “Yeah. If he’s not guilty, then why is he hiding?”
Jonathan remained calm and replied, “This brings me to the third thing I want to address. President
Pearson was attacked at the Pearson Family Estate a few days ago. He is now severely injured and
unable to move in the hospital. I know that everyone is curious about what’s going on in the Pearson
Family, but it is not something I can exin in just a few words. The deceased has passed on, and out
of respect for the living, President Pearson has decided not to pursue the matter further. However, this
is not a reason for anyone to attack him.”
He was clearly beating around the bush, and all the reporters knew it.
After the press conference, everyone left.
Only a few people who had caused the most trouble earlier were stopped and asked, “What do you
want to do?”
Jonathan approached them and smiled slightly. “We have already found out that you guys wrote those
rumors online.”
They looked at each other and
Jonathan returned to the hospital and exined, “President Pearson, we’ve handled everything. We
didn’t get any other information, though. They were probably just paid to do it, and the people have
been sent to the police station.”
Aidan nodded lightly and responded, “This is before her death is far from over. Keep watching.”
“Okay,” Jonathan replied.
Just then, Keaton walked in and said, “President Pearson, the discharge procedures have been
completed.”
Aidan stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
As they were on their way back to the Pearson Group, a group of reporters and curious onlookers were
discussing the insider information about this wealthy family’s grievances. At that moment, an
anonymous ount posted an online article that detailed the events of the incident.
The most important thing mentioned in the article was that Sienna had deliberately caused the car
ident that Leanna was in during her pregnancy. She wanted to kill both Leanna and the child, and
even after that, she remained unrepentant and continued to mock and attack them.
The article also mentioned the incident that happened a few days ago at the Pearson Family Estate,
where the Pearson Family took the child away, and Sienna tried to suffocate the child in front of
everyone with Polyn. After her n was exposed, she chose tomit suicide.
Together with this explosive revtion, the whistleblower attached some information about Leanna’s
car ident and the investigation results from the police, proving that the brakes had been tampered
with, and the car belonged to Pearson Family.
In addition, there was also Polyn’s testimony and transcript.
‘What a plot twist. I am speechless.’
‘To be honest, if this exposé is true, hands. It’s hard for me not to support him.’
‘To intentionally cause a car ident when the mother is pregnant in hopes to kill her and the child is
cruel enough. They even made someone suffocate the child in front of President Pearson. My
goodness, it gives me the chills.’
‘This feud between such a wealthy family is terrifying. They’re they act like they have deep-seated
hatred toward each other.’
‘Come on, they’re not really family. I heard that President Pearson is their illegitimate child, which
Sienna leaked to the media. There are also rumors that President Pearson caused the car ident
that paralyzed her son. I think this is where her hatredes from. I feel like she’s mentally unstable.’
‘But an illegitimate child is still a child. You can’t change that.’
‘I think a person can’t choose their own background. President Pearson’s abilities are evident to
everyone. Even if he wasn’t taken back to the Pearson Family, he would still be outstanding.’
‘I agree. After this incident, I realized that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions too soon. Who knows?
There might be another twist regarding the illegitimate child in the future.’
After scanning through thements
Jonathan shook his head. Aidan gave Justin ast to the public, so he wouldn’t do something sneaky
like that.
Aidan’s thin lips curved into a slight smile.
As Jonathan had said before that Aidan couldn’t leave the hospital until his wound was healed, he
asked, “What’s so funny?”
“What is Leanna doing these days?”
“Madam just found a house and moved in today.”
“Where does she live?”
“Next door to Zoe since it’s more convenient to have someone look after her.”
“What about the child?”
“The Young Master is doing well.” Jonathan hesitated before asking, “President Pearson, should we go
back to thepany?”
Aidan replied, “If we don’t go back to thepany, where do you want to go?”
Jonathan coughed and pretended nothing was ever said.
After a while, Aidan spoke again. “Check if the house next to Leanna is still avable and buy it.”
Remembering what Leanna had said, Jonathan reminded him in a low voice, “President Pearson,
Madam will be angry if you do this.”

“If I don’t do this, will she not be angry?”
Jonathan was silent, knowing that Aidan was right.
At that moment, Oscar called. He had personally sent Naomi to a safe ce and had just settled things
there. Now, he was getting ready to return.
Aidan said, “Just go to Jamesdon.”
Oscar asked in surprise, “Jamesdon?”
Aidan responded calmly, “Check what’s going on over there and let me know if there’s any news.”
Jonathan asked, “President Pearson, didn’t you already send people to Jamesdon a while ago? Why
—”
Aidan replied calmly, “Perhaps we’d get two different answers.”
