Chapter 666 A Pretentious Man
When the pair arrived at the airport, Leanna finally understood the meaning of Aidan's words. The
reason he was unhurried earlier now made sense to her.
Aidan approached the counter and asked the staff, "When is the next flight abroad?"
The staff replied, "It's the one heading to Ietha. It's now open for passenger check-in."
"All right. Ietha it is."
The staff nodded before showing them the way to the VIP entrance.
Walking beside Aidan, Leanna whispered, "What about Siebenna?"
Aidan's lips curled into a smile. Instead of answering, he held her hand tighter.
A few tourists who trailed behind them recognized Aidan and Leanna. The group immediately took out
their phones and snapped photos of them.
Within half an hour, an eye-catching news headline showed up on the news sites.
'Former President of the Pearson Group and fiancée visiting Ietha for vacation. The sweet couple
dazzles in public.'
…
Meanwhile, in the hotel, John put his phone aside and snorted. "I can't believe it! Aidan really is giving
the Pearson Group away."
Freya sipped on the wine from her glass before slowly answering, "I have to admit, I wasn't expecting
him to give up on the company that easily. It seems like our preparations are a waste."
"We have been implementing the plans based on our sole goal. Who would've thought he'd give up on
the Pearson Group? It's quite a surprising move coming from him."
As the two made a light talk, Joseph stood next to the bed. He narrowed his eyes as he took a drag of
his cigar and exhaled a cloud of smoke, lost in his own world.
Moments later, he turned around and walked over. "Nobody could've foreseen Aidan would make such
a decision. He has always been a rather tough opponent in your mind. Only the person who truly
knows Aidan could set this plan. Unlike any of you, our partner expects every of Aidan's moves."

of an eye.
It seems like our partner is more capable than he looks.
To make the plans in Highside and Jamesdon work, the involvement of all parties was essential.
It was obvious that their partner was the key to making the plan work all along.
He had been quietly setting up plans since long before the group established a partnership. He was
calm, patient, and cautious to the degree that it intimidated his allies as well.
Even though there were surprise elements throughout the implementation of the plan, he was capable
of turning the tide and letting things flow according to plan.
He even anticipated the outcome and Aidan's choice.
The thought of working with such a partner gave Freya and John goosebumps, sending shivers down
their spines as realization dawned on them.
John had long lost the mood to celebrate, so he excused himself and left.
Freya looked at Joseph and asked, "Shouldn't we do something?"
He took a seat opposite her. Taking a glass of wine, he began, "There's no need. The odds are in our
favor. Besides, he hasn't gotten what he really wants, meaning the partnership is not over yet."
He then firmly added, "We share the same goal."
"B-But what if he decides to come after you when everything's done?"
It didn't seem like Joseph cared when he shot her a smile. "Lachlan is tougher than you think. I plan to
step in and take advantage after the two have tired each other out."
Freya lit a cigar and squinted as smoke clouded her vision. "We are lucky enough to witness the two of
them fight, all thanks to you telling him the truth seven years ago."
Joseph cast her a knowing smile before finishing his glass of wine silently.
…
It was 8.00PM in Ietha when Aidan and Leanna's flight landed at Drestan Airport. Bright lights lit up the
city at night.
A man approached the pair right after they left the airport. "President Pearson, it's ready."
Aidan nodded at the man before turning to Leanna. "Are you hungry? Do you want to get something to
eat?"
"I'm not very hungry," she answered. "Where are we going right now?"
"Navary." He then added, "In that case, we'll have dinner on the plane."
"Did you forget about Siebenna?"
"I didn't. However, there's a place I want to show you."
"All right."
Half an hour later, the pair hopped on a private jet to Navary.
After the flight attendant served them their food, he nodded and took his leave.
There was a lot of food that offered a range of international cuisine, making Leanna's stomach grumble
just by looking at them.
Several hours of travel on board and a full stomach made her sleepy.
Fortunately, the private jet ensured its passengers a comfortable environment. It featured a bed for the
passenger to sleep in.
As soon as her head hit the pillow, she felt Aidan's arms wrapping around her. His low voice carried an
apologetic tone. "I'm sorry for taking a detour. We'll be there when you wake up."
Humming a response, Leanna wrapped her arms around his waist. "I understand."
No matter whether their destination was Ietha or somewhere else, it only served the purpose of
misleading their enemies.
The place they were heading right now was their final destination.
To her, she couldn't care less about Siebenna. It was just that Aidan asked her to choose a destination.
After doing a little research online, she found a beautiful and serene island located in Siebenna, which
was a perfect spot to relax.
Aidan pressed a kiss on her forehead. "Sleep, my love."
She snuggled against him. "Good night."
"Good night."

She woke up from a dreamless sleep the next day. The realization of several hours had passed came
to her when she checked the time on her phone.
Meanwhile, Aidan was nowhere to be found.
Yawning, Leanna combed her hair with her fingers. Then, she walked into the bathroom to brush her
teeth and washed her face with cold water. After that, she returned to the room and opened the window
shades to let the light in. Taking a seat next to the window, she began to work on her draft.
A while later, the door was opened and Aidan walked into the room. "How long have you been awake?"
Leanna looked in his direction and stretched her neck. "About half an hour."
He walked over and poured a glass of water. "What do you want for breakfast?"
"Anything will do."
"Wait for me."
He left the room after handing the glass over to her. A few minutes later, he returned with breakfast.
"We should arrive in approximately three hours."
She nodded. "All right."
The breakfast helped Leanna to refresh her mind and regain her strength. Shifting her gaze to Aidan,
who was reading a book on his laptop, she tilted her head and studied him in silence.
Since she wasn't hiding her intention to watch, Aidan noticed her gaze right away. Raising his head, he
locked eyes with her. "What's wrong?"
She shook her head. "It's nothing. It's just that I think glasses might suit you."
Exiting the reading app, Aidan drawled, "Might suit, you say?"
Now that I think about it, Aidan has the temperament of those pretentious gentlemen. His natural cold
face and sharp features are quite something. Wearing a pair of gold frame glasses would only set off
the vibe. However, he has to keep quiet to make the concept work.
Leanna blushed at an idea that flashed across her mind. Turning to the side, she muttered, "Forget
what I said."
A smile graced Aidan's lip. Walking over to her, he slightly bent over and whispered into her ear in a
low voice, "What a surprise. It seems like you have a thing for men with glasses, huh?"
