Love's Change of Heart

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.”
Aidan 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.”
