Chapter 1127
"Isn't that man Lennon Landry?" Emilia said to Kendal.
Emilia knew the information of the heirs to the big families very well, but she was surprised to see a woman whose background she knew little of hanging out with them again and again.
It was Adrian first and now, it was Lennon.
How had she made it?
"Lennon? The heir to the Landry family?" Kendal asked in disbelief.
Emilia nodded and beckoned a waiter over. "Send a bottle of the most expensive red wine to that table, and tell that gentleman that it's Miss Su's treat."
"What are you doing? Buying them wine?" Kendal shouted, "I simply want to tear that bitch apart!"
"Hush. Don't do anything stupid."
Emilia was much more tactful than Kendal. She hated Aleigha too, but it wasn't wise to show it in front of Lennon.
Aleigha looked uninterested when the wine was served. It wasn't for her anyway.
But she knew Emilia was up to something, so she just waited patiently for her to show up.
Sure enough, when Lennon nodded at Emilia as a gesture of saying thank you, she rose to her feet and walked to them.
Aleigha sneered and shook her head. Emilia was so easy to see through.
"Hello, Mr. Landry. I've heard a lot about you. My name is Emilia."
"Hello, thank you for your wine."
Lennon was very polite and his rich baritone made him very charming. In addition to his good looking, he was from a distinguished family and well educated, which made him the dreamboat for almost every woman.
But not for Aleigha. She had learned to her cost that love only led to heartbreaking disasters.
Lennon didn't invite Emilia to join them so she just stood beside them with her impeccable smile.
"Oh, sorry I didn't see you just now," Emilia said to Aleigha as if she'd just noticed her, "forgive me if I interrupted you."
She said this on purpose and Aleigha knew it.
"How careless of you," Aleigha snapped, "Maybe there's something wrong with your eyes?"
"B*tch! How dare you be so rude to Emilia!"
Kendal screamed and rushed over with her arms flailing in the air.
And before she got near, Aleigha grabbed her glass on the table and flung it at her.
A thud was heard.
Kendal fell to the ground, her hands on her head, wailing. Aleigha looked at her with indifferent eyes.
Emilia stiffened on the spot. Lennon was also shocked by Aleigha's sudden strike.
"Miss Reid, has your family never taught you about manners?" Aleigha asked.
She had been a marshmallow in her previous life and she was done with that.
She would not tolerate them anymore in this life.
"Take her to the hospital before she bleeds to death," Aleigha reminded Emilia, who was numb with shock.
Emilia collected her senses and scowled at Aleigha before she hurried to Kendal and helped her up.
"Emilia, am I going to die? I don't want to die. I haven't married Adrian."
"Shut up!"
Emilia was incensed. How could someone be so foolish and impulsive? If it weren't for Kendal, she could have made an acquaintance with Lennon. After they left hastily, Aleigha felt so good that she ordered two more servings of deserts.
"You impressed me," Lennon said.
He actually didn't know exactly how he felt about what she had done.
Perhaps he admired her decisiveness and bravery.
"I hope it's in a good way," Aleigha said in good humor.
The rest of the meal was very pleasant and Aleigha realized how powerful and knowledgeable Lennon was through their conversation.
However, compared with the Xiao family, the Landry family was tremendously dwarfed.
Then she thought of her own family. It was time to handle her engagement with Adrian.
"Mr. Landry, thank you for helping me these days, but there are some things that I still have to settle by myself."
"You mean, you want to go back?"
Lennon had already known from her that she was from the Gardner family and had an engagement with Adrian. Aleigha nodded.
"They need to be solved sooner or later and I have to face it myself."
"Okay, I'll send you back."
She had to face what had made
suffer in her previous life, the Gardner family, Emilia, Lainey, and her father who had abandoned her and her mother.
The car slowly stopped outside the courtyard of the Gardner family. Before Lennon pulled the door open for her, she got off herself.
"Do you want me to walk you in?"
"No, thank you, Mr. Landry. I can handle it myself."
"You're welcome. Besides, don't call me Mr. Landry. Just call me Lennon."
Aleigha nodded slightly, turned around, and walked towards the gate.
The Gardner family, the Reid family, and the Landry family were all big families with staggering fortunes and many heirs and heiresses.
However, the Gardner family only
had two heiresses, Aleigha and her sister. Aleigha's two uncles were both childless and their adopted children couldn't inherit any of the family assets.
The Gardner family wanted Aleigha back only because she'd been engaged with Adrian and she was to inherit the properties from Dustin Gardner.
However, there was no telling that she would actually be in control of the inheritance.
Thinking of how her mother had been chased out of the family, Aleigha made up her mind that no matter what happened she would not relent.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
No one in the Gardner family deserved her kindness.
She rang the doorbell, and soon a servant came to answer the door.
"May I help you?" The servant said in an impertinent manner.
The servants here were all snobs like the members of the family. They had looked down on Aleigha incher past life because she was from the countryside, so did they in this life.
However, she was not going to let them mess with her this time. "I'm Aleigha. I want to see my grandfather!"
