Chapter 1241
Jodie thought her plan was perfect. She had no idea that she was the one in the trap.
Paige found Aleigha even more frightening than Adrian was sometimes.
Aleigha might be young, but she was really smart.
Paige was showing Jodie the way. Jodie was so anxious that she pushed Paige aside.
Her heart was filled with excitement. As long as her plan worked, she wouldn't have to worry about dealing with Aleigha. Which man wanted to be cheated on? What was more, Adrian was so arrogant.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she was. She did not notice that Paige had been strangely silent.
The door of the bedroom on the second floor was slightly closed. Jodie stood outside and took a deep breath.
All of a sudden, she opened the door and rushed in. Then, she turned on the flash and took a lot of pictures.
"Aleigha, I can't believe you cheated on Adrian! He'll abandon you when he knows it!
"This is the price you pay for having Jaidyn bully the Gates family! I'm telling you, you're going down!"
"Wow, wow." Aleigha stood up and couldn't help but clap her hands. What an idiot!
How did she come up with such a stupid idea?
Hearing this, Jodie trembled instantly. Paige turned on the light.
The light was glaring, and Jodie put her hand over her eyes. When she got used to the light around, she opened her eyes.
Aleigha was indeed here, and there was indeed a middle-aged man lying on the bed.
However, Adrian was here, too! He was standing by the window, staring at her with displeasure.
"Well..." Only then did Jodie realize that she had been set up. It was too embarrassing.
What should she do now?
"Jodie, what's with the camera? By the way, you went after the Woods family first.
"We were just fighting back. How could you say we bullied you?"
Aleigha smiled lightly, but her eyes were cold when she looked at Jodie.
"Do you have any last words?" Adrian asked coldly. He acted as if he were looking at a dead
woman.
He wouldn't let go of anyone who crossed his line. "What do you want to do? This is a society of laws.
"If I died, the Gates family would definitely avenge me. You'd better let me go."
Though Jodie said so,
she showed a lack of confidence.
After the party the other night, Gerald beat the crap out of her.
She might look arrogant and glamorous, but she was actually suffering from domestic abuse.
He never hit her in the face, but her body was covered with bruises.
That was why she came up with this idea and bribed Paige. She wanted the real files.
She hated Aleigha too much. Therefore, after getting what she wanted, she came up with a more sinister plan.
She came here because she wanted to witness this herself.
Adrian frowned slightly and said, "Paige, off you go."
Paige silently left and closed the door. She knew what Adrian was gonna do.
No one had ever been able to touch Adrian's bottom line and survive. Jodie was so gonna die.
The man on the bed did not dare to breathe, let alone move.
"You go out as well. Don't tell anyone about this." Adrian said to the man. His eyes were dark and frightening.
Hearing this, the man left as fast as he could.
Jodie felt that her heart stopped in
her throat and her back was covered with cold sweat, but there was still an insufferably arrogant look on her face.

She didn't even cry when she was being abused. That was her dignity.
If she made it out of here alive, she was gonna find a way to make Aleigha pay.
Unfortunately, Adrian wouldn't give her the chance.
He slowly took out a black gun from the bedside table. Under the light, the gun was shining.
It sent chills down Jodie's spine. Apparently, it was Adrian's gun.
Because it looked as cold and heartless as him.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Jodie lost her balance and fell to the ground. Biting her lip, she wept.
She was scared. It was the first time
Cher to
face a gun and Adrian's
Gerald had told her.
She finally remen he

"Al-Aleigha, I'm sorry. I was wrong. Tell Adrian not to kill me, please! I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have done that to you.
"I don't want to die. I'm still young. I can't die."
Jodie suddenly realized something. She came to Aleigha, held her legs, and begged for mercy over and over again.
A hint of coldness flashed across Aleigha's eyes. She shook her h
helplessly. "If your planed head
worked, would you have let me go?
"Would you have said yes if I begged you not to tell Adrian about this?"
Jodie fell into silence. Both Aleigha and she knew the answer.
"Then why are you begging me?"
Aleigha snorted and kicked Jodie away. She turned around without saying a word.
Adrian raised his gun. The next second, he pulled the trigger without any hesitation.
Then, Jodie fell into a pool of blood before she could call for help.
Adrian was an excellent shot, and this bullet went straight to Jodie's temple. She shuddered to death on the ground.
Aleigha got blood on her. Her forehead was bunched in a frown, and she hurriedly took two steps back.
"Let's not come here again" Adrian put down his gun and walked up to her.
He picked her up and went out of the villa.
Lying in Adrian's arms, Aleigha giggled.
"Hey, why are you giggling? And why didn't you tell me anything before? What if Jodie didn't fall for your trap?
"You should have talked to me."
Although Adrian said that, he was glad that his Aleigha had grown up.
The naive and innocent girl she used to be was gone. Her way of dealing with her enemies was to fight fire with fire.
She was no longer as soft-hearted.
This showed that she became more and more like him.
"I'm laughing because I won. That's a winning giggle."
The two of them went back to the Xiao Residence. Aleigha remembered the bad memories of her first visit here.
It was like a century had passed. Back then, she cut Adrian a deal and took a lot of money out of his pocket.
"What are you doing? Go take a shower." Adrian threw over a bath towel. Then he took off his clothes and entered the bathroom.
Early the next morning, Adrian sat on the sofa in the living room and read a newspaper.
"Hey? I thought you went to the company."
When Aleigha went downstairs and saw Adrian, she was a bit surprised.
"I'm waiting for Gerald."
"Why? You called him to pick up Jodie's body?"
