Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 666

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.”
Freya and John fell into silence at Joseph’s remark. Their relaxed expressions turned grim in the blink 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.
