Chapter 18 Aiden's Plan

Aiden picked up his phone, got Sharon's number from his business partner, and quickly dialed out. After he waited anxiously, the call was answered. "Who is this?" Sharon's arrogant tone came through the phone, causing Aiden to frown slightly. He was not pleased, but he didn't show it on the surface. Instead, he smiled and said, "Mrs. Garcia, it's Aiden Taylor." Aiden? Sharon on the phone frowned, listened carefully for a moment, and then realized who the caller was. "Oh, Mr. Taylor, what's the matter calling me so late?" Calling at this time, Sharon didn't think Aiden was just greeting her. "I heard that Mr. Andrew is ill, and I also learned online that the person who treated Mr. Andrew is Dr. Sovereign. I just wanted to ask you Sovereign is really your former daughter-in-law, Clara?" Seeing that the call was about this matter, Sharon couldn't help but smile smugly. Since she revealed Clara's identity online, she had received almost a dozen calls tonight, all asking if Sovereign was really Clara. Although she was not happy about it, Sharon still smiled and replied, "Of course, Mr. Smith at Bayview Central Hospital can testify to this." "Mr. Taylor, if you don't believe it, you can go and ask Mr. Smith." Bayview Central Hospital's reputation was well-known domestically. When Aiden heard this, he felt more certain. However, he was cautious and did not directly reveal Clara's blood relationship with him. After some vague pleasantries, he was about to hang up. The next second, Sharon's sarcastic voice came from the phone. "Mr. Taylor, let me speak frankly. If you want to find Clara to treat the illness, I'm afraid it won't be successful." Aiden frowned, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "What do you mean by that, Mrs. Garcia?" "Oh, I just thought since we've had some business dealings, I should kindly remind you, Mr. Taylor. The reason Clara divorced Matthew is that she's been up to no good in their marriage for these three years. And, Clara is not a good person. I've even seen many people giving her money. I reckon it's..." Sharon didn't finish her sentence. Even if she didn't say it out, anyone with a discerning eye would know what she meant. She had used this excuse with everyone who called. Rumors were frightening, and when the time came, even if Clara was Sovereign, even if she was highly skilled, she would definitely be disliked. She must come begging the Garcia family. Thinking of this, Sharon looked pleased, with a slow smirk on her lips. "Money?" Aiden's eyes lit up with a different light. "How much did she receive?" "Probably several hundreds of thousands." The answer from Sharon made Aiden think differently. Thinking of his daughter, whom he hadn't seen in many years, having such a good status, Aiden seemed to see a cash cow beckoning to him. "Thank you, Mrs. Garcia. It's getting late, so I won't disturb you any longer." Without waiting for a response, Aiden quickly hung up the phone. Cheryl and Aiden had been married for many years, so she could see what was on his mind at the moment. Although she was annoyed by how excellent Clara was, she maintained the appearance of a good stepmother. "Darling, Clara is so capable now. She will definitely be able to help the Taylor family. Darling, you must build a good relationship with Clara." When their relationship was mentioned, Aiden's face darkened, and he lost his smile. "Hmph! No wonder there has been no news for three years. She's been hiding this identity and living freely outside!" Seeing his slightly angry expression, Cheryl remained silent and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. In the next moment, when Aiden looked over, she changed her expression to one of concern. "Clara didn't mean it back then. But it's been three years, and Clara has been married. She definitely wouldn't have left in a fit of anger." Thinking back to that rainy night three years ago, Aiden fell silent, his eyes concealing a flash of hostility. "Hmph! Why didn't she die from that fall that night? She's just a troublesome and cheap girl!" Seeing that her goal was achieved, Cheryl lightly touched his chest, signaling him to calm down. In her heart, she was already scheming about how to manipulate the situation. A few minutes later, Aiden furrowed his brow and said, "Pack up your things. Tomorrow, you'll both come with me to Halcyon Bay. There happens to be a house there, and the Halcyon Bay branch office is almost completed. We'll figure out a way to coax that girl back to help Mrs. Moore with the surgery." Cheryl nodded meekly. "Okay, we'll do as you say, Darling."
