Chapter 1240
"What brings you here?" Adrian saw Aleigha sitting on the lounge chair outside his office.
His expression changed from amazement to joy.
"I was just passing by." Aleigha looked at him with a faint smile. The sunlight shone on her through the glass.
The smile on her face grew brighter.
"Let's go home. I'll make you something nice." Adrian said.
He wanted to take care of her all his life, doting on her like a princess who needed to do nothing.
She wouldn't have any worries.
On the way, Aleigha did not mention the servant thing. Instead, she talked to Adrian about the company.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
When they got home, the servants seemed to be a bit shocked.
One looked as composed and respectful as ever, while the other looked nervous and uneasy.
They were both middle-aged women who had children.
The only difference was that one had family togetherness and the other was a single mother.
Aleigha did not think that was a reason. No matter why that woman did this, she would never forgive her.
Aleigha went back to her room to wash up. Adrian followed her upstairs.
Then, he noticed that the lock had been changed.
There was a flash of displeasure on his face. "Did you get someone to change it?"
"No. I just came back," Aleigha said with a look of innocence on her face.
She just pretended that she didn't know anything.
Adrian looked at her and didn't say anything else.
After washing up, Adrian went to the kitchen. Aleigha took the opportunity to rummage around her room.
Except for the two fake share transfers, she didn't leave anything important in the room.
She searched for them for a long time, only to find nothing. She guessed she knew what was going on.
She acted like nothing had happened and had dinner with Adrian. The next morning, she went out.
She stood at the end of the alley and waited. At nine o'clock every morning, the servant would go out for shopping.
At 9 o'clock, Paige went out, looked around, and walked in the opposite direction of the supermarket.
Aleigha followed her from a distance and saw her walking into a restaurant and sitting by the window.
She seemed a little nervous.
Aleigha pushed the door open and went in, sitting directly in front of Paige.
"Miss-Miss Gardner."
Seeing Aleigha, Paige stammered with fear.
"Paige, who are you waiting for?" Aleigha looked at her. Her eyes were a little cold and there was a smile on her lips. Paige hurriedly looked away. Her whole body was trembling slightly, and she didn't know where to put her hands.
"Tell me. What do you have on Jodie, or did she offer you something?"
Aleigha's tone became serious, and her eyes turned deep.
Paige could feel a knot of fear in her throat. She had never seen Aleigha so serious.
"Miss Gardener, I don't know what you're saying."
She still wouldn't admit it?
"I heard your son was in the same university as me." Aleigha lowered her eyes, her lashes fluttered.
She didn't show any emotion when she said that.
"What are you going to do to my son?" Paige became more excited and suddenly stood up.
The glass of water on the table fell down and spilled boiling water all over her. However, she still looked at Aleigha as if she felt no pain.
"What did Jodie ask you to do? Tell me everything, and I promise your son will be safe and sound."
Aleigha was no longer the old Aleigha. After everything she'd been through, she'd learned one thing.
If she depended on Adrian forever, she'd die. She had to be strong herself.
Though Aleigha was young, Paige knew she was difficult. Even Adrian could do nothing with her.
She didn't think she could hide it anymore.
After thinking for a while, she told Aleigha the truth.
Jodie didn't just ask her to steal the files, she asked her to set Aleigha up.
Paige knew that Jodie wanted Aleigha to die.
"What time was your appointment? Pretend like nothing happened and give the files to her.
"Tell me everything that happens next. As long as you do as I say, I won't tell Adrian about it."
Paige was aware of Adrian's ruthlessness. If he knew this, she would die.
Everyone knew that Adrian hated being betrayed.
Paige nodded timidly. It was still early, so Aleigha hid herself in a corner.
At 10 o'clock, Jodie got all dressed up and
bwent to the restaurant. She
satisfied that Paige.had
waiting for her. Conten
After sitting down, she took out a bank card. Paige took it and handed the files to her.
"Are you sure they are real?" After what happened last time, Jodie had been extra careful.
Paige nodded, with a look of displeasure on her face. "I took these two files from Miss Gardner's drawer myself."
Jodie was overjoyed. With a smile,
she saod for you. Remember
what
you. Adrian has an
appointment tonight. It's your chance."
Paige nodded and fiddled with the corner of her clothes.
Jodie glanced at her and left without paying attention to the water stains on her.
After she left, Aleigha waited for a moment before she walked to Paige.
"You can go back now. Tell her to come to the villa tonight."
Paige nodded, her eyes full of panic.
"You don't have to be afraid. After that, I will let you go. You can keep the bank card."
Since Jodie wouldn't give up going against her, she would take her on and fight to the finish. Aleigha went to school. She had been planning her next move all day.
At 6 p.m., Adrian called to let her
know that he had an appointmentet
this night, and he was probably
gonna be home late. Conten
It was enough to say Adrian had got a rat on his side and his schedule had been leaked.
The guy behind this was really capable.
The more Aleigha thought about it, the more excited Aleigha was. She was really looking forward to tonight.
When Aleigha returned to the villa, Paige gave her the pills Jodie gave her.
Then, Paige called Jodie. It was not an easy job, because Jodie was not a fool.
At first, she said no. After Paige had pleaded with her in every way she could, she agreed. At 7 p. m.,
a man came.
Paige said this guy was her friend. Aleigha didn't buy it, but she didn't say anything.
The three of them went upstairs. Aleigha pointed to the bed and said in a flat tone, "You know how to do it. Go ahead."
Paige and the man looked at each other. Then, the man took off all his clothes and got under the covers.
"When Jodie arrives, bring her here. Don't talk to her."
Aleigha checked the time. Then, she called Adrian.
Half an hour later, someone rang the doorbell. It was Jodie. As soon as the door opened, she rushed in.
She had a SLR in her hand. It seemed that she really came prepared.
Aleigha was sitting on the sofa. The living room was dark, so she could only hear footsteps.
