From the suburbs to the Grand Hyatt, it only took Aiden a bit over twenty minutes.
Elliot was waiting at the door for a long time.
Seeing Aiden get out of the car, he doggedly went to greet and pat him on the shoulder, but what he said made Aiden want to hack him to death, "Aiden, I think I sent the wrong photo. If I resent the video of Isabel getting kidnapped, I’ll bet you’d have got here ten minutes earlier."
Elliot was getting revenge for when Aiden forced him to announce his engagement with Lara.
For the land south of the city, everyone now knew that he had a fiancée.
He wanted to dump Lara, but if he broke up right after announcing their engagement, it felt too frivolous and irresponsible.
This was not the most pressing matter.
What mattered most was that his father, mother, and grandfather were now pushing him every day to introduce his wife to them.
Lara was not his wife, she’s just a woman whom Aiden forced onto him.
Elliot was saying something he shouldn’t say; Aiden kicked the car door shut, and greeted Elliot with a punch to the chest, "Don't want that land anymore?"
Elliot suddenly exploded, "Aiden, I went through the transfer process with the Bureau of Land Management; the land is mine already. Don't you going to plan to use a woman to seduce someone from the Bureau and change the contract, do you?"
When Elliot mentioned this, Aiden immediately thought of Amanda, but he had no feelings for her, "Where did the photo come from?"
"What photo?" Elliot played dumb.
"If you won’t say, that land will really change ownership." Aiden bypassed Elliot, acting as if he wasn’t there.
The second he saw Aiden’s back, he shuddered and said, "On the netnews; now the whole city is discussing your relationship with Isabel. Two days ago, you two were still love birds. Then, in the blink of an eye, you’ve each got different partners. This speed, tsk tsk."
As Aiden entered the VIP room, Samuel and Isaac were already inside.
When he saw another woman, Aiden’s frowning brows slightly loosened, "Hello, Ms. James."
For the first time, Aiden actively greeted a woman with whom he was not familiar at all.
To think even Elliot would end up where he was today.
He didn't expect that the woman he randomly paired with Elliot would actually develop feelings for Elliot.
"Mr. ... Mr. Howard, Elliot said that they were playing mahjong and missing a player, and that you weren’t here yet, so I’d substitute in your place." Lara got up and gave Aiden a seat.
Aiden sat down, "Continue."
He browsed his phone as he played, and the photos of Isabel kissing someone were all over the netnews.
He recognized the back of the man to be Owen from the villa.
As he continued to browse, his date with Amanda was also the talk of the city.
"Check the IP address of the original posts about Isabel and Amanda in the forum. Afterward, delete them directly." Aiden won the round, and quickly sent this text to Ewan.
Poor Ewan; it was already late at night, and he still had to work.
But whenever he thought of Aiden's dark, gloomy face, he didn't dare to leave it be.
After he finished texting, Aiden continued to play mahjong.
His face was still gloomy.
Samuel and Isaac glanced silently at Elliot from time to time. It was all Elliot’s fault. Ever since Aiden sat down, he won every hand.
The three of them became fixtures, nothing more than things to keep Aiden company.
With Aiden's winning streak, if they continued to play, the three of them won't even have pants left to lose.
Elliot was also anxious; Aiden was really angry.
