Chapter 555: A Displeasing Marriage
Six days later, Eric and his family of four left Country S and headed for Country W.
After a twelve-hour flight, Ella, Elias, and Dorian were utterly exhausted. As soon as they arrived at Lucas’s house, they collapsed into bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Ella, however, was in relatively good shape. After a short nap of a few hours, she felt refreshed and energetic.
After dinner, Ella sat in the living room with Lucas, Eric, and Luke, chatting.
Meanwhile, Dorian and Elias were outside in the hallway, playing with their skateboards.
"I really dislike this marriage arrangement. It’s not that I discriminate against actresses... but Jessica is just too fake. Aiden told me she’s already pregnant, and knowing him, he’s a man who values emotions deeply. He lost his parents early, so it’s natural for him to want his child to have a family..." Lucas’s expression was filled with displeasure and helplessness.
Aiden wasn’t around—he was with Jessica. Ella didn’t particularly like the woman either.
Her delicate brows furrowed. "Dad, have you ever thought about investigating Jessica’s past relationships? She’s quite clever, getting pregnant so quickly. She knows Aiden’s weakness—his deep sense of responsibility—and she’s using the baby to trap him."
"I’ve already looked into it. Before she got together with Aiden, she had broken up with her ex-boyfriend, Zachary."
Lucas’s displeasure deepened. "I’ve raised Aiden as if he were my own son. Just like Luke, he will inherit the Anderson Corporation. I don’t favor one over the other. Ideally, elders shouldn’t interfere in matters of marriage, but Jessica has a poor reputation in the industry. I worry that Aiden is being deceived."
Eric remained silent, as this wasn’t his matter to handle. However, Ella turned to him.
