Chapter 1236
"Aleigha, next time you're in danger, I want to be the first to know."
Aleigha nodded. Her heart was filled with warmth. "Didn't I get someone to tell you?"
"You had someone come to me with a note like that? What if it was late? What if that guy didn't tell me?"
The coldness in Adrian's eyes grew. He looked at Aleigha and felt both angry and distressed. Why didn't this woman care about herself?
"They'd know if I called you."
She always thought someone might be listening in on her phone.
Even if she was wrong, she should be careful.
"Give it to me." Adrian stretched out his hand and his face darkened.
Taking her phone, Adrian threw it onto the ground and stomped on it a few times.
"I'll buy you a new one."
He pulled her out of the cafe.
"Adrian, I need to go to the Woods family," Aleigha said as she looked at him with a gentle gaze.
Adrian frowned slightly. He was unhappy about it, but he couldn't stop her. He believed her.
"I'll take you there."
At the Woods Residence.
Samuel was taken into custody by the investigation team from the central government, and the military kept the news under wraps.
However, word got out anyway. To Windy, this was terrible news.
When Aleigha arrived, she found the whole Woods family in silence.
"What's the matter?"
Freddie sighed and looked at Aleigha with a face full of self-blame.
"My father's locked up because of me.
"This was supposed to be top secret, but now everyone knows."
Well, this was unexpected. It turned out that their enemy had military ties, too.
"Aleigha, who do you think has been targeting us? Should I turn to my family?
"Or, the guy behind this wants to destroy my family, too?"
Windy was furious. If she knew who was behind this, she was sure that she would make that person pay the price.
"Is there anything I can do?" Adrian stood next to Aleigha and asked.
His low and deep voice showed that he was angered.
The Woods family had always been low-key. They had military ties, so they wouldn't make enemies with others.
Adrian thought that the guy behind this was not targeting the Woods family but Aleigha.
That guy didn't dare to directly go against her, so he started with the Woods family.
Aleigha was glad that Adrian wanted to help her. However, if he made a move, then whoever was behind this might want to back off.
It would be more difficult for them to know who did this.
"Adrian, I think I can handle it myself." Aleigha looked at Adrian.
There was a confident smile in her eyes.
Adrian looked at her and nodded. A shadow of smile touched his mouth.
After he left, Aleigha's face instantly became serious. "Freddie, I thought of someone.
"He can help us, and he can easily find out who's behind it.
"If I'm right, the Gatess are gonna do something."
Windy and Freddie turned to look at her, their faces full of confusion.
"Let's turn to Jaidyn."
"My cousin? Why? He hasn't been seen for a long time."
Hearing that, Freddie's face was filled with disappointment.
Although Windy didn't know why Aleigha mentioned Jaidyn, she knew Aleigha had her reason.
Therefore, she didn't ask.
Her intuition told her that Aleigha could get it right.
"Freddie, go to your cousin with Aleigha."
Freddie was reluctant, but he did not say no. "I don't even know where he is.
"Where should I find him?"
"Come with me. I know where he is."
They went to Empire Group. Freddie became more and more confused.
Then entered the company, and no one stopped them. This was really strange.
Freddie had heard about Empire Group, but he didn't expect that it had something to do with his
cousin.
Seeing Aleigha, Jaidyn's secretary hurriedly stood up to greet her. "Miss Gardner, the president is inside. Do you
heed me to inform bini Miss
Aleigha waved her hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, but I'm going straight in."
Aleigha pushed open Jaidyn's door. Freddie saw the man sitting on the chair.
He understood everything in an instant. Anger and helplessness filled his heart.
His cousin was actually the president of Empire Group!
"Cousin Jaidyn, why didn't you tell us?"
Jaidyn frowned and ignored Freddie's words. Instead, he looked at Aleigha, who was gloating.
"Let's talk."
Aleigha pulled the chair over and looked at him with interest.
"Why do I smell trap?" Jaidyn looked at Aleigha and was a bit annoyed.
This woman didn't come with good intentions. She came in with Freddie without even telling him.
"Someone's targeting the Woods
family, and you should do
something. But I was hoping that you would help us in secret. bwant to know who's behind this.
Jaidyn snorted and turned to look at Freddie. "I've read the news.
"You think I can handle something your mother can't?"
"Few
Ve know you're the
of Empire Group. Besides ff, the only people who know
This was a threat.
Jaidyn took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. "Aleigha, what do you want?"
Aleigha laughed in her heart and replied, "Help the Woods family out and go against the Gates family." "Aleigha, don't push your luck. I can help the Woods family out, but I won't do anything to the Gates family." Jaidyn was so angry that he slammed the table and rose to his feet. He felt the burning pain in his palm. "Feng, tell your uncle that Jaidyn is the president of Empire Group.
"Anyway, he is not gonna help us."
Freddie nodded, his face full of mockery as he looked at Jaidyn. "Yeah. My uncle hates lies.
"Cousin Jaidyn, you're such a good actor. We thought you were just a traveler.
"You really surprised me. Tsk tsk."
Jaidyn rubbed his temples in anger. After a while, he waved his hand and said fiercely, "Fine, fine!
"Off you go. I don't want to see you guys again."
Going out of Empire Group, Freddie was still in a trance. After a while, he asked, "Is Jaidyn really the president?"
Aleigha nodded. "Yes, but it's not over yet. Don't get too excited.
"Let's see how Jaidyn will deal with the Gates family."
Then went back to the Woods Residence. Freddie told Windy what had happened.
Windy was shocked, too.
After a long time, she said, "I-I'm impressed. He's really amazing."
As the trial day drew near, the media did not release any more information about the Woods family.
As if nothing had happened, all the public opinion disappeared.
On the other hand, the Gatess came to the Woodss over and over again, but none of them had even brought a reporter.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
It must have been because of Jaidyn. It seemed that the Gates family was going down.
