Chapter 123 Good Acting Skills

• When Aidan and Georgina showed up together at the charity dinner, the whole crowd fell eerily silent for a moment. Everyone knew that the Barnetts were just an empty shell—they knew that the entire charity dinner was just a gimmick for the Barnetts to get close to Gordon. Even though the Barnetts no longer had much to offer, they still had a good number of connections they had gathered from the past. After all, many of these people hoped to build rapport with the Pearsons.
• Many of the people there knew that Gordon was just the face of the Pearson Group and that Aidan was the one who was actually in charge. But the situation had seen some changes since the Pearsons' marriage with the Barnetts. No one understood what was going on in Aidan's mind—they were shocked that he had decided to develop some resort in the outskirts during such a crucial moment. Aidan had handed Gordon the entire Pearson Group on a silver platter. Even though things were changing, Aidan's power and skills were not to be underestimated. Many people at the charity dinner seemed to be there to show support, but they were actually there to observe the situation.
• None of them had expected Aidan to show up with the young lady of the Crossley Family. However, things were a lot clearer to them at that moment. The Barnetts, who were dying out, were no match for the Crossleys regardless of how many connections they had. After a moment of silence, everyone began to discuss the situation among themselves. Of course, everyone had their own opinions, but the only person who was genuinely happy for Georgina was probably Carly. Mr. Barnett's face darkened when he witnessed this scene, but he didn't voice out about it.
