Chapter 1232
Aleigha did not call Samuel father instead of godfather.
Samuel's face lit up with joy, "Of course no."
Aleigha felt it not true that she should become a goddaughter of Samuel.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Adrian called, and Aleigha had to leave the Woods family now.
Adrian was already waiting outside the Woods' by his car.
Samuel came out to see Aleigha off. Adrian walked forward to greet Samuel instantly.
"He is that kid from the Xiao family?" Samuel looked Adrian up and down.
Then, he realized how naive Freddie was, compared with this Xiao.
The ambition and determination in Adrian's eyes were rare in a young man.
Samuel liked Adrian very much.
"Uncle Woods, nice to meet you," Adrian spoke first when Samuel still sized him up. Samuel nodded slightly and turned to Aleigha, "Aleigha, you remember one thing."
"From now on, the Woods family are your backers, and you have nothing to fear about."
Aleigha held back her laughter and nodded in agreement.
In the car, the atmosphere was weird.
"Aleigha, the Woods family likes you?" Adrian said with displeasure.
"Yes, that's right. Samuel took me as a goddaughter today," Aleigha said casually but observed Adrian closely.
"Great! The Woods family will save you a lot of trouble.'
The new servants of the Woods family popped up in Aleigha's mind. She frowned slightly and said coldly, "I'm afraid that someone is mess up with the Woods family." "Are you sure?"
Aleigha nodded and felt bad with this thought.
If it weren't Elimia, who would dare to mess up with the Woods family?
"No one can take advantage of the Woods family. You know that Jaidyn is a member of the Woods family."
What Adrian said didn't convince Aleigha at all, as she knew some secrets that Adrian was kept in the dark from.
In her last life, Windy got burned in a fire, resulting in a disfigured face, and Freddie was pushed down the stairs. He was disabled and couldn't move from the neck to the toes. The culprit was not found even when Aleigha died. Aleigha always assumed that Emilia and Lainey were the culprits, and their move was out of jealousy toward Aleigha herself. With some reflection, Aleigha inclined to think that Emilia and Lainey had no such courage to be against the Woods family. So, there should be a boss behind the scene, but what did he want?
Aleigha felt agitated for the next few days. The peace of the Woods family disturned Aleigha.
On weekend, Freddie asked Aleigha out for fun, and a strange girl came with Freddie.
Freddie introduced this girl to be the daughter of Windy's business partner. She was 19 years old, and her name was Bria Gates. Aleigha had no impression of this girl, and Freddie didn't pay much attention to Bria.
Bria was shy but looked at Freddie with burning passion.
They went to watch the movie. After dinner,
Aleigha went home.
Waking up the next morning, Aleigha received a call from Windy, and Adrian was preparing to go to work.
'Aleigha, come to the Feng's."
Before Aleigha could ask a question, Windy hung up the phone.
"Something's wrong." With her phone in the hand, Aleigha looked at Adrian.
Adrian frowned, "I'll take you there."
On the way, Aleigha did not say a word and was thinking all kinds of possibilities.
Arriving at the Woods family, Aleigha saw the door of the courtyard was wide open. There were reporters wandering around, but no one dared to walk in the yard. Aleigha rushed into the Woods family without waiting for Adrian to get off the car.
At the door, Aleigha heard Windy's scold.
The parlor was full of people, and Freddie was sitting on the sofa in the corner, despondently.
Bria leaned in the arms of a middle-aged woman, sobbing.
Aleigha sniffed out something fishy. She went straight to Freddie and pulled him up.
"Come with me."
In a daze, Freddie followed Aleigha out.
"Who are you? Where are you taking Freddie to? How can you be irresponsible for your bad deeds?"
The middle-aged woman who had Bria in her arms suddenly yelled loudly, and then the whole parlor fell silent.
Aleigha turned cold, "Irresponsible? Are you saying about the Woods family or Freddie?"
The middle-aged woman was taken by surprise and didn't know how to answer. She looked at Aleigha maliciously.
The viciousness in the woman's eyes enlightened Aleigha suddenly.
She dragged Freddie to a storeroom and shut the door.
"Tell me, tell me the whole story. Don't leave a single detail."
Aleigha's moves confused Freddie.
The clear eyes of Aleigha made Freddie lower his head, "You left last night."
"Then, Bria invited me to a bar."
"Soon, I got drunk. When I woke up in a hotel this morning and didn't remember what happened last night."
"Then, the Gates family rushed in, and the media followed behind."
Aleigha looked cold and didn't say anything. Freddie couldn't figure out what was in her mind.
"Let's go back now. You should insist that you were drunk and remember nothing."
Freddie lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Aleigha like a child who had done something wrong. "Let's go. It's fine."
Aleigha led the way and saw Adrian talking with Windy.
Windy came forward immediately at the sight of Aleigha and Freddie.
"Aleigha, you were there last night. What on earth happened?"
Aleigha shook her head, "I left beforehand and didn't know what happened. Mom, don't worry."
"It is clear that this a trick, and we have to calm down now."
"Be patient, and we will know their purpose soon. It is not wise to strike out blindly."
"Freddie, I believe in you."
Aleigha patted Freddie, who felt ashamed, on the shoulder to comfort him.
She was afraid that Freddie, bright and optimistic, would be defeated by this trick.
This episode would disgrace the Woods family and undermind Samuel's status in the army.
The boss behind the scene seemed determined to be against the Woods family.
"Don't worry about the media. There
to deal with public
opinions, but the attitude of thel.net
Gates family matters most.
"If they insist on suing Freddie, let's take it
we and eth a cool head. The a
, the more easily w
mistakes."
"And that is part of the trick."
Aleigha's voice was hoarse, but it sounded cold.
Could it
coincidence that Aleigha as his
Sam and Freddie made a
mistake that next day?
Windy was too sad to cry. She looked haggard and felt helpless.
Aleigha pulled Adrian over and gave some instructions in a low voice. Adrian nodded and left.
Aleigha, Windy, and Freddie returned to the parlor.
"Windy, we are friends. Your son said that he didn't like my daughter." "However, what he did was disgraced!"
"Wait, I'll sue and make your family utterly discredited."NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
"Jodie, don't be over." Windy, both awkward and angry, protested feebly.
