Chapter 664 Stop Right Here
As soon as these words were spoken, the directors in the conference room were hesitant to talk.
Leaving aside the fact that Justin was only recently known to the outside world, just based on his
physical condition alone, it was unsuitable for him to be the president of the Pearson Group.
It wasn't that they questioned Justin's abilities. It was just that no one was willing to gamble the
massive Pearson Group with him.
After a while, a director finally said, "President Pearson, Young Master Justin has never been involved
in the company's business. It may not be appropriate to let him take over the Pearson Group now."
"Jonathan and the assistant team will fully assist him."
"But…"
Before they could raise any objections, the conference room door was pushed open.
Justin was slowly pushed into the room in a wheelchair.
Jonathan approached Aidan and said, "President Pearson."
Aidan nodded and looked ahead.
Justin smiled warmly. "Aidan, it's been a while."
Aidan stood up and took Justin's wheelchair, pushing him to the seat next to his own.
The group of directors silently sat in their seats.
"Can I talk to you alone, Aidan?" Justin asked, to which Aidan replied, "Let's wait until the end of the
board meeting."
"You—"
"Jonathan should have told you everything already."
"Yes, but I still think it's not suitable for me to take on this position." Justin sighed.
"When I took over in this position, many people thought it wasn't suitable either."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAidan picked up the documents and arranged them on the table one by one.
"This is the equity transfer agreement. These are Pearson Group's financial statements and cash flow
for the past ten years. This is the group's development plan for the second half of the year. These are
all the projects the Pearson Group is currently working on. As for the rest, Jonathan will give you a
detailed report after the board meeting."
With each sentence Aidan spoke, the atmosphere in the conference room grew even more subdued,
leaving only his calm voice.
After putting down the last document in his hand, he looked up and scanned the room. "Alright,
everyone. From now on, I am no longer the president of the Pearson Group, and I will never step into
the company again. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors."
With that, he turned and left without any hesitation.
As Aidan was about to leave the conference room, Justin called out to him. "Aidan."
Meanwhile, Aidan did not turn back. Instead, he merely stated, "I'll be waiting for you in your office."
Soon, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
Then, Justin looked away and slowly said, "I am completely ignorant about managing the company. I
will have to rely on all of you. Please give me your guidance."
"Don't say that, Young Master Justin. It's our job to assist you."
"That's right. We will certainly help you."
After some formalities, the board meeting gradually came to an end.
In the office, there was nothing Aidan wanted to take with him except a picture frame. He stood before
the French windows, looking out at the view. His expression did not change and it was unclear what he
was thinking.
After a while, Justin's voice broke the silence. "Aidan."
Aidan turned around, walked over to the couch, and sat down. "Have you adjusted to life in Vinland?"
"I'm doing okay, but my father isn't adapting well to the weather there. He got a rash on his body, but it's
much better now."
"You've been in Highside for decades," Aidan commented. "It's difficult to adjust to other places."
"Returning home is better. The doctor said it's easier to recover in a familiar environment. It seems like
my decision was wrong."
Aidan chuckled silently. "You don't know if a choice is wrong until you've made it."
"What are your plans for the future?"
"I'll take Leanna out and about to relax. If everything goes well, I'll propose to her and have the
wedding by the end of the year."
Justin smiled with ease. "After so many years and misunderstandings, you've finally reunited. Let me
know when you set the wedding date. I'll definitely be there to witness it."
Aidan looked at his brother, but his eyes were cold and unfeeling when he muttered, "There's no need."
Justin's smile froze. "Aidan, you—"
"I already told you when Sienna died that we were even. Now I'm giving the Pearson Group back to
you, and all the grievances end here."
"I don't understand what you mean."
"It doesn't matter if you understand or not. From now on, I won't pursue what has happened, nor will I
investigate any conspiracies. I only hope that there will be no more trouble in my life. My wife can stay
with me peacefully and my son can be healthy."
Justin remained silent for a moment before laughing. "Do you think I did something behind your back?"
"I've never thought that, but you and I should know what Sienna meant when she spoke before she
died."
"Aidan, she's already dead. You—"
"She may be dead, but these things will never end," Aidan said coolly. "Which is why I hope that we
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcan have an understanding today."
Justin frowned but said nothing.
Aidan continued, "What Sienna did, she did it for you."
"I understand what you mean. Don't worry. I should be able to find those people. If she had any plans,
I'd handle it."
Aidan stood up and picked up the picture frame. "I'll leave the Pearson Group to you," he announced.
"Aidan, do you still consider me your older brother?"
Aidan stopped in his tracks, but he didn't turn around. "As long as you still think of me as your younger
brother, you will always be my older brother."
With that, Aidan left straight away.
Justin slowly composed himself and maneuvered his wheelchair to the side of the French windows.
This was indeed a good place where he could overlook the entire city.
Shortly after, Jonathan knocked on the door and entered with some documents. "Young Master Justin,
these are the papers that need your signature this afternoon."
Justin turned his wheelchair to look at him and smiled gently. "You've been with Aidan for many years.
I'll have to trouble you often in the future."
"Young Master Justin, you're being too polite. This is what I should do." Jonathan paused before
continuing, "Is there anything else you need me to do? If not, I'll take my leave…"
"Bring me the financial reports of the Pearson Group and the recent progress of a few projects."
"Okay."
Justin then added, "What is the current situation with the subsidiaries of the Pearson Group?"
At that, Jonathan replied, "Previously, President Pearson called them back for a specific report and
statistics. I'll bring the information to you now."
"There's no need," Justin said. "At 3.00PM, all the heads of the subsidiaries will be meeting at the
Pearson Group."
