She knocked on the door and waited for him to allow her to come into his office, with just one knock his words came out.
"Come in!"
She went in and stood by a side, and told everything that she got to know.
"So what are you expecting me to do, huh? Aiden asked putting aside the document that he was going through.
Master, I think we need to look into this matter. After all, that child if accepted can inherit all of the late chairpersons' properties since they have no other successors. I think we need to do something about this.
Look into this matter further and let me know about it, you need to go to Daniel's house and let his mother know about this. Most importantly confirm that this child is biologically related to our family!"
***
As Adrienne left the room Aiden dived into his world of thoughts in order to find an answer to the question himself.
He knew that the moment Daniel's family confirms that the child is their own blood, they will take in that child and the fact that him being an illegitimate child is not going to be a problem to anyone out there.
Once they have a successor, Daniels's father will definitely step into the company again he thought.
Maybe it's the time to commit the most horrible sin that I will do in my life, he said getting up from his chair.
I will either kill that child who is going to ruin my plans or either someone else will be found dead, he left the room dashing the doors open.
***
There was information that she later found about that mother and child which shocked her, the mother was non-other than a lady who was kept a secret by one of the most influential families who could definitely be a challenge to Aiden if she collude with the others.
She got into the house where she was staying, and sat down and waited until the lady of the house came to her. She came into her vicinity with a child and placed her carefully in the cot that was sitting in the living room.
"So what is it that you wanted to talk to me about? She asked bringing out the sentence in the rudest manner.
Yes mam, I am here behalf of the Pheonix family, we are quite aware of your situation and how influential your family is, therefore by paying my due respect to you, Madam Lau I would like to ask you to kindly participate in a test to confirm this fact.
So are you telling me that this child is not Daniel's? she said getting up from the chair If you are here to slander me with your words, deliver my words to the Pheonix family that I am not willing to prove myself with anything. The only thing I can guarantee myself is that this child belong to Daniel."
"See this woman out! she said walking out of the living room."
"Madam Lau, this matter is not as simple as you think it is, just because you tell me that the child you own is Daniel's there is nothing to prove it, other than from your last contact with late master Daniel you havent even met him after the child was born.
I wanted to keep my child a secret, she said.
Okay then why did you suddenly come out saying that you want to hand over the child to the Phenix family."
"We met vicious women n the past women who came with the same sentiments you have but later on we were able to confirm the fact that they were women who had nothing to do with master Daniel.
I have been very respectful towards you considering how much respect the Pheonix family have towards your family, but if you are going to continue to be this way, I have no choice but to use force inorder to find the truth behind your accusations.
Once you are proven correct you can for sure go and meet Daniel's family and discuss what you want with them."
"As a woman can you even understand what sort of pain I had to go through because of my decision to keep this child? I wish I could get rid of it but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't bring myself to do that."
She grabbed a vase and threw it at Adrienne, but Adrienne's reflexes was more than good enough to dodge an attack like that.
"Take the child and Madam Lau!" Adrienne said through her microphone to the others bringing them all in at once.
The guards rushed in while some one carefully grabbed the child and walked out regardless of how the child of the mom was crying and screaming.
"Mam, I need you to calm down, we only need to do one test and you will be free from all the trouble. Please let us run this test, Adrienne helped her onto the chair and made her sit down.
Doctor, you can come in and obtain the blood samples, Adrienne said still holding onto her not letting her escape.
Alright everyone let go of me right now, that child is not Daniel's, it was a plan to ruin your company.
Jesus, can you let me go at least now!!"
As expected, Adrienne said finally letting her go.
"Bring back the child," she said through her microphone.
"You ugly wench you should know your place!" she said as she pulled out a gun and pointing it right onto Adrienne's head.
Adrienne had her gun but considering who she was even if it was a secret she couldn't shoot her in any case. Adrienne who had just come out of the hospital was about to get shot again, and she knew that if she gets shot now it will not be just a minor injury but would end her life within a matter of few seconds.
everyone was pointing their guns at the lady but Adrienne was the only one who was left vulnerable.
"Shoot her!" It was Aiden's voice that appeared from the back.
"You should have known your place when you and your so-called family were trying to ruin the Phoenix group!
I really feel bad if Daniel actually did something to you, but you were indeed wrong in this. He said signaling the gun men to shoot at her."
Within a few seconds, her dead body was on the floor, Adrienne never thought that he would actually shoot her because of a matter like this.
"You come with me now!" Aiden raised his voice at Adrienne walking out of the premises.
Adrienne reached out to one of the guards, please take this child to his real parents, she left with Aiden after telling him so.
"Why can't you at least handle something like this?! Aiden asked Adrienne who had just gotten into the car.
"Master, how could I shoot someone from a family that can be a challenge to us in the future?"
"Mam, the driver talked. She was not real. It was a plan to get us into some trouble. We looked into her family and she is from a family of normal background. We later found out that she was someone who has gotten many influential families into huge scandals."
Adrienne was speechless, she felt so stupid for coming to take care of a mission without looking into all the information.
Aiden stayed silent while all the explanation thing was going on and closed his eyes when he was done explaining.
It was already passed 5 Pm and only 2 more hours were left there until his ceremony.
"Drive us home," she told the driver.
