Chapter 1188
Aleigha left school early in the morning and went straight to the largest luxury shopping mall in the center of the city.
Out of her expectations, she ran into Kendal.
It had been a while since she last saw Nolan, but she didn't seem to frustrate over what happened with Adrian and to Nolan.
She wore a halter top and a pair of sky-high heels, not seemingly flinching a bit from the low temperature.
When faced with each other, Kendal's eyes were instantly filled with cold smugness.
Aleigha realized that she didn't give a s*it about whether Nolan was dead or alive. That was why she would be strolling down the mall at a time like this.
"It seems that you are living a good life." Kendal scrutinized Aleigha up and down.
Compared to the last time they saw each other, Aleigha did look much better and the pieces she was wearing were indeed much more expensive now.
"Why, Adrian has taken good care of me and so, voila. Speaking of which, you..."
"You don't really strick me as someone who's having the time of her life. Those crow-feet... And I'd think it's safe to say you've literally chosen the worst set of outfits that could ever be chosen." "And the shoes, Jesus, they practically are a harm to the eyes. Did you pick 'em out of the trash?"
Aleigha put on a false smile, and the coldness in her eyes could not be concealed. She had way too many ways to provoke Kendal.
But the best of them would always be degrading her appearance.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
"Wipe that smug off of your face, Adrian's got a fiance, which means he's gonna get married in no time and at the same time makes you nothing but his b*tch."
It seemed that Emilia did not tell Kendal that she was a member of the Gardner family.
"Really? Doesn't that mean that you won't stand a chance? At least I've slept with Adrian before.
As for you, all you can do is whimpering and sobbing in front of him."
Aleigha's face was full of schadenfreude, and Kendal was so angry that she threw away the bag in her hand and rushed over.
She looked so ferocious that she seemed about to tear Aleigha to pieces.
Aleigha doubted whether such a short-tempered hothead could plot the whole suicide.
There could be a bigger game here, which has yet to reveal itself.
In a flash, Kendal had already darted in front of her, waving her sharp long nails, and scratching Aleigha's face.
Fortunately, Aleigha came to herself in time. She stepped back and grasped her hand.
With a force, Kendal's hand was broken directly.
The move was so quick and clean that it was almost beyond imagination a girl could perform such a skill.
Kendal let out a shrill scream, which attracted a lot of people's attention.
Aleigha was still indifferent and looked at her coldly as she sat on the ground. Her close combat skills had not been in vain.
She had particularly learned these from a personal coach lately.
it was a unique technique that required less strength than usual but could inflict great hurt on the person being hit.
Kendal was in a terrible mess, sitting on the ground. Taking the time, Aleigha fled the scene.
"Now she's got a lot of things to hold grudges to." Aleigha thought in her heart,
However, she didn't notice the person who was walking towards her. She rushed forward and ran into the man's arms.
She looked up at the man and a smile flashed across her face, saying, "What are the odds?"
"Odds? Hardly. I saw what happened inside, but I didn't expect that my little Aleigha to be good at something like that."
Adrian, commonly only known as the business tycoon, was actually quite good with martial arts as well.
Aleigha had just broken Kendal's wrist, and he saw it clearly.
It was really a little unexpected.
"What are you talking about? I don't quite understand." Aleigha's big innocent eyes flashed.
"I'm gonna give a few of my guesses here, you were trying to provoke her to get something out of here, or is it something else you want?" Adrian saw right through Aleigha's thoughts, causing Aleigha's heart to feel stuffy. None of her plans and little schemes could ever escape his notice.
"I just found it quite suspicious that a hothead like her could set up something like this against me."
Now that she had been seen through, she might as well tell him the truth.
Adrian nodded, and the tenderness in his eyes could not be concealed. "You don't have to meddle in the matters of the Reid family anymore.
"I'll do it myself since it just so happens I'm sick and tired of the nagging of those old sacks."
"Come with me to the company. I'm going to launch the new product on Friday."
"New product launch?" Aleigha felt as if she had seen the piles of money floating in front of her.
Arriving at the company with Adrian, Aleigha saw Aubrie going in and coming out of all the offices as she wanted now that she was a partner of the Empire Group.
Seeing Aleigha and Aleigha coming in, she didn't seem to be angry, but her eyes were full of love when she looked at Adrian.
Adrian pulled Aleigha's hand and bumped into Aubrie. Aleigha hurriedly pulled back her hand.
Adrian looked at her in confusion.
Aleigha gave a faint smile. She did not explain, but her gaze fell on Aubrie.
No matter when it was, the light on this woman's body could not be ignored.
"Adrian, I've been looking for you everywhere. I need your help with this document."
Aubrie was a very arrogant person, but for Adrian, she lowered her stature and couldn't care less about the rumors and gossip that could be generated from her frequent visits to the company.
Adrian had been her dream for her whole life. Only Adrian could stand shoulder to shoulder with her at the highest point.
"My secretary can do that. I have something else to do," Adrian refused coldly. She took Aleigha's hand and went straight to his office.
Moreover, he did not allow anyone to enter his office without his permission.
Aleigha knew about the science and technology software developed by Adrian However, this was the first
time that she had heard Adrian explain to her at such a close distance.
His concentration and seriousness attracted her whole attention, and Aleigha gazed at him pensively.
The sudden throbbing in her heart made her a little uneasy. This man was too attractive.
Putting aside his bad temper, Adrian was truly perfect.
"What do you think?"
Aleigha was pulled back to reality by his sudden questions. She lowered her eyes to look at the design drawings on the computer, afraid that he would discover her emotions. "I'll go back and make a specific report for you."
Adrian nodded his head as he's looked at the design on the computer. His eyebrows twitched slightly.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way back. I'm a little tired today."
Aleigha wanted to leave. Since Adrian's product was going to be released, she could not sit idle anymore.
"Okay. Give me the report as soon as possible. Next, I hope things will work out perfectly for the both of us, my little Aleigha."
"It's not easy to earn money here. I'm looking forward to your plan."
Aleigha pressed her lips together and nodded.
Walking out of the office, Aubrie
nodded and smiled at her. The charming and friendly expression
seemed to indicate she was not
angry with their spending time together at all.
Aleigha became slightly alert.
Aubrie was not someone to be trifled with. At the very least, she was harder to deal with than Emilia
and Kendal.
Returning to the Gardner family, Marcos brought Laura and the child back today. The whole family sat on the sofa in the living room, talking and laughing.
Aleigha found it strange that she didn't see Lainey and her daughter.
Seeing Aleigha coming back, Charlotte hastily waved her over.
