Chapter 1103
So, Aleigha saved Adrian.
Coldness gave off from Adrian's body. He didn't know who exposed the news that he was developing a new system.
Although not being launched yet, Adrian had predicted the success and pride that he would gain from his product.
For preventing business secrets from leaking out, Adrian was doing the whole R&D process alone. "How could this woman know my secret?" He was confused.
His eyes were getting colder and giving off more alerts toward Aleigha. She was a little scared, fearing that she would be killed.
The Xiao family was now in a chaotic situation. It should be someone from the Xiao family who shot Adrian. That was why he became so alert.
Knowing his mind, Aleigha said lightly, "Don't worry. I'm not here to steal your secrets, and my plan has nothing to do with the Xiao family.
I admit that I do have a purpose in saving you, but I will not do anything bad to you. If you agree on my term, I can help you defeat your cousin."
She didn't have any ability. What she had only was the memories of what would happen in the upcoming three years.
Adrian pressed hard with his fingers, and a few red marks immediately appeared on Aleigha's chin.
"Who the hell are you?" He asked.
She knew he was developing a system as well as the feud of the Xiao family. He was sure that he had never met this woman before, her face was totally fresh.
"You don't have to know who I am. As long as you cooperate with me, I promise you will acquire the whole Xiao family's business." Aleigha said with a smile, bearing the pain from her chin. "What's your purpose?"
As his voice fell, the air froze. Aleigha felt it was so cold.
She worried that if she said half of a word ambiguous, the man in the front would bite her to death.
He looked like a cheetah with sharp claws, getting ready for an attack at any time.
Although feeling timid, she still stated it clearly, "Because I want to become powerful to trample my enemies down."
When she was saying this out, strong hatred flowed out of her eyes. She didn't look like she was lying.
"I can give you money, but never think about the authorization." Adrian made up his mind and was going to move on from this topic.
"Is your life only worth 30 million?" Aleigha asked provocatively.
"Woman, are you really not afraid of death?" His voice sounded terrifyingly cold.
How could he hand over the authorization before thoroughly knowing this woman?
"Death? I am extremely afraid of it, but I am more afraid of the taste of being plotted!" As a person had died once, she was qualified to say so.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Adrian could not figure out that why endless vicissitudes filled with this young girl's eyes, what happened to her, and why she bore so many grudges?
"Fine, you're not willing to authorize me, I won't force you. But I'll let you know that you'll never suffer losses if you work with me."
Aleigha was implicated by the chaos that happened to the Xiao family, she knew very well that what this family would arrange for Adrian next.
But in Adrian's eyes, Aleigha was full of suspicions, and she was highly probably bluffing.
"You saved me, and I'll give you fifty million." He was about to take out the check from his pocket as he spoke, but he found nothing. A rare glint of embarrassment showed on Adrian's face. "Don't worry. I believe that you won't go back on your words." She smiled playfully.
Aleigha had never expected to negotiate with Adrian one day and she was no need to submissive to his temper and order.
"It's so good to say what I want to say!" Aleigha thought.
As Adrian wanted to say more, his eyebrow clustered again, and he looked painful.
"What's wrong?"
At a glance, Aleigha found what was wrong was with his body. Blood penetrated the bandage.
"You've suffered such a serious injury, don't move, okay?"
He was so weak and pale, but he was still acting tough.
"No one ever dared to speak to me in your way." Adrian said coldly to Aleigha, who educated him fiercely.
"Now you have one. If you want to
live, sit down and keep silent. Do you know how serious your injury is? If I hadn't taken out the bullet in time, you wouldn't have survived last night!"
Adrian knew he shouldn't move around, and he felt a little dizzy due to over bleeding, so he leaned against the rock and sat down.
Aleigha stretched out her hand and wanted to check his wound. Under his gaze, her hand was stiff halfway.
Adrian didn't like others to touch him, especially women.
So, she used the cloth of the skirt to wrap her hand and separate their skin. Adrian didn't show any repulsion.
However, Adrian felt weird. "Am I so dirty that she had to use the cloth?"
She processed Adrian's wound skillfully. She was chewing a kind of wild grass, and she would apply the crushed grass to his wound.
She thought that he may be even more disgusted with the grass.
"Well... there are no other medicines here. I picked some herbs. Although saliva is disgusting, the grass can reduce inflammation, stop bleeding, and kill bacteria..."
"No more nonsense or I'll die from bleeding."
Adrian interrupted her in a rude
manner. Aleigha was so angry, and she applied the herbs while
shouting, "I think you have
mysophobia! Do you think I want to talk nonsense to you?"
Adrian pinched her wrist, and his cold eyes fell on her face as if he could see through her soul.
"How do you know I have mysophobia?"
Aleigha was pinched hurt, and she pulled out her hand out. "Is this a secret? I told you not to move!"
It was a short silence. Aleigha felt that she was gazed at all the time.
Dam* it, he was still as sharp as ever.
"I just randomly processed your wound, for not having sequelae, you'd better go to a big hospital to have your wound treated." Aleigha said.
Adrian looked down to check the time. It was eight o'clock in the morning. He pressed a button on his watch.
Aleigha found that his watch looked luxurious but seemingly contained a mystery. Maybe the bottom he pressed was for turning on the realtime location.
"Woman, I'm hungry." He looked not so alert as before, with his face relaxed, his body also released a little.
"The person who will save you is on the way. Hold on." She didn't want to be his servant at all.
All of a sudden, Adrian pulled her into his arms. He said in a low voice, "I said, I'm hungry."
Even though they physically contacted last night, it was different from what it was feeling now.
He lost awareness then, and Aleigha was fully focused on thinking of her revenge. Until this moment, Aleigha felt his strength for the first time. His breath also flirted with her ear. The atmosphere was subtle.
