Chapter 1178
Emilia looked over her shoulder and found that her belt was indeed only hanging by a thread on her skirt. Hearing Aleigha's words, she glared at her with utmost impatience. "You stupid redneck, will you just ever be of help for one time and one time only? Nothing but a disgrace! HOLD THIS!"
As she said that, she handed the red wine in her hand to Aleigha and tied the belt herself.
She had a scarlet red dress on which stretched all the way to the floor. And the most eye-catching part of the dress was the belt that was embroidered with dazzling diamonds.
Emilia carefully fastened her belt and snatched the wine glass from Aleigha's hand. She glanced at Aleigha mockingly.
Seeing that she raised her head and drank the wine in the glass, she couldn't help sneering in her heart. "There goes your doom, you hill-billy."
After drinking the wine, Aleigha slightly smacked her lips and pretended to be savoring the wine. "This wine is really good."
"Yeah? Tell me about it, you dumb hen. Did you expect the Woods family to serve you with a box of Frenzia White? And by the way, where did you run off to the day before yesterday and left me with that b*tch?"
When she thought of Aubrie, Emilia gritted her teeth with hatred.
Aleigha pursed her lips and did not say anything. She only looked at the empty wine glass in her hand. She didn't wanna bother herself explaining to Emilia.
"Aleigha, here you are. I've been looking everywhere for you," said Freddie, who came up to them again.
Aleigha was about to say something when someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Adrian, it's Adrian."
When Emilia heard Adrian's name, her face practically lit up exuberantly. Following the voice, she went to Adrian, leaving Aleigha on her own.
Upon hearing Adrian's arrival, Aleigha cried out inwardly, "F*ck" As the crowd around her was still dense and Adrian was making his way through, she bounced.
She didn't want Adrian to find any trace of her.
Being held in a fit of panic, she did not know where she had run off to. The enormous venue was connected to the suites on the other floors. She ran off like a panicked ostrich, without knowing where she had wound up.
The sound of footsteps came from behind her. Being alarmed, Aleigha randomly picked a room and barged in.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer and judging by the sound of it, there was more than one approach. Aleigha hid in the room, not daring to draw a breath.
"Fan out and search every room. No one else could be up here at this time."
Aleigha's heart skipped a beat. The room was so dark that she couldn't even see her own fingers. She tiptoed towards the window.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared on the balcony, which scared her to tremble and made her almost collapse.
"Aleigha, it's me. Why are those people after you?" Freddie opened the window and crawled in.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Upon seeing Freddie, Aleigha breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly covered his mouth and motioned for him to go out.
Understanding her intentions, Freddie turned around and climbed out again. He stretched out his hand to pull Aleigha. Her skirt was a little tight and she couldn't move her legs. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.
"If you don't mind, I can totally hold you out." Seeing her embarrassment, Freddie lowered his voice and asked softly.
Aleigha compressed her lips together and nodded.
It was the first time that he had been so close to Aleigha, and his heart was beating fast, which made his movements somewhat awkward.
After they stepped out of the balcony, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was still uplifting.
"Do you still want to go back?" Freddie looked at Aleigha with blurred eyes.
Aleigha's eyes were cold and there was a chill in them. "Do I have a choice?"
Freddie didn't know why those people chased after Aleigha, but he decided that he wouldn't leave Aleigha tonight.
They entered the ballroom again and met Emilia. As expected, Aleigha saw shock in her eyes.
Aleigha deliberately avoided Adrian's sight, so she walked over to a corner of the venue where there were fewer people.
All the people around her were dressed in black suits, some of who looked quite familiar to her.
As she pondered, she suddenly remembered the wine. She checked the time and found that twenty minutes had passed, which meant the drug could take effect any minute now.
Sure enough, Emilia's head was a bit dizzy. While chatting and laughing with the people around her, she walked towards the second floor.
All the people around were busy with their own conversations, paying no heed to her leaving.
Aleigha quietly waited for the time to
pass by and also quietly followed Following the ridiculously strong scent of the perfume, she turned into a room.
Inside the room, the smell of perfume and alcohol pervaded the air. Emilia's body twisted about, her breathing heavy. Each and every movement of hers and the overall scene in front of her told Aleigha how terribly strong the drug was. Behind her, noisy footsteps came from the corridor again.
Aleigha walked over to the door and nodded. Then, she hid on the balcony.
On the lawn on the first floor, Freddie saw her figure and climbed up again.
Upon seeing Freddie, Aleigha's eyes darkened. She pulled him away and said, "Let's go. Forget what you saw in there."
Freddie still wanted to ask, but because he was pulled by her, he could only jump off the balcony first.
"Jump down, I'll catch you."
Aleigha looked down, stretched out.
her hand, and pulled hard at her skirt, tearing down a large stripe from it. The skirt split and the slit went all the way up to almost her thighs.
She randomly tied the skirt before jumping down.
When she was about to land on the ground again, her feet slipped and she fell straight down.
Fortunately, Freddie stretched out fast enough to catch her.
"What are you guys doing?" Adrian felt a little stifled. He had finally got rid of those men chasing him and wanted to get some air out here.
He was about to light a cigarette when he saw this.
He didn't make out that it was
Aleigha because of the darkness t was not until that she climbed down with her legs bare that he realized something was wrong.
The more he looked at her, the more familiar he felt. When she came closer, fury almost surged out of his chest.
Before he could ask, Aleigha slid down from the wall and fell directly into the man's arms.
Adrian's first thought was that Aleigha was cheating on him.
With whoever the f*ck it was that was bold enough and was probably now lying naked in the room that Aleigha told her not to look into.
"Let go of me!"
When Aleigha heard his voice, her body trembled and he directly jumped down from Freddie's arms.
Like a child who had done something wrong, she lowered her head and said nothing.
Freddie looked at Adrian with a cold glint in his eyes.
This man was very dangerous.
"Come here!"
Adrian stared at Aleigha with a sullen expression, as if he was going to eat her alive.
Although Aleigha was very reluctant, she had no choice but to obey in this situation, especially when she was faced with Adrian.
A man in whose presence Satan himself would shudder.
How would she dare to say a word against him?
As she walked step by step to Adrian's side, Aleigha's heart was also filled with apprehension. From the looks of it, he seemed to be angry.
"Aleigha, don't go." However, Freddie suddenly reached out to hold Aleigha's hands out of the blue.
Adrian didn't wait for Aleigha to speak. She rushed forward to grab Aleigha, and at the same time, he stepped onto Freddie's belly.
"Freddie!" As soon as Aleigha saw Freddie being beaten, she desperately tried to get rid of Adrian's hand.
Adrian didn't say anything. Sparks seemed to come out of his eyes as he lifted Aleigha up, ignoring her beating and pounding him on the back.
Being extremely angry, Adrian threw Aleigha on his shoulders, walked towards the car, and finally stuffed her inside it.
Before she could get her body ready, a warm breath swept over her quickly.
"Adrian, you, ah, let go of me. I, you..."
