Chapter 1257
It never occurred to Jasmin that she was not the child of the old couple. Was the gentle mid-aged man really her brother? She burst into tears.
Aleigha knew how she felt. She must have had a rough couple of years.
Tanner was so grateful to Aleigha that he invited her to stay for dinner.
By the time she got home, it was already late. Adrian was in the study.
After taking a shower, she went to the study.
"I've taken care of the family of Tanner's sister."
"Already? Shouldn't I thank you?" Aleigha saw the documents on his desk and picked them up.
"What, are you going to buy the industries under the Landrys?"
Adrian nodded. "Families are always at war with each other. My family may not approve of this, but I want to try.
"I can do to the Landry family what I did to the Reid family. It's not gonna be hard." "I hope that you can let go of Lennon. After all, he has helped me." Aleigha thought that she owed Lennon. "Aleigha, I don't like to hear another man's name from you, and you are full of gratitude for him."
Aleigha glanced at Adrian and continued to read the documents.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Adrian reached out and put her on his laps, touching her.
Aleigha patted his hand. "You're not gonna get lucky tonight."
"What if I want to?"
Adrian felt that he was addicted to sex with her. He wanted to sleep with her everyday.
In the end, under Adrian's constant harassment, Aleigha compromised. They had sex all night.
The next day, as soon as Adrian left, Aleigha went to Tanner's place.
There were still a lot of things that needed to be solved.
In order to cheer Jasmin up, Tanner had Aleigha talk to her.
Jasmin was very quiet. Aleigha felt that maybe she was still processing it.
Tanner was loaded and had a lot of connections. When he tried to find his sister but failed, Adrian suggested he ask Aleigha for help.
He'd help Adrian extend his reach into Fripdence if Aleigha made it. Therefore, Aleigha was actually helping Adrian.
Tanner didn't like the name Jasmin Witt. He told his sister that her original name was Emilee Bradshaw.
"Emilee, this is your home now. You don't have to worry about your old brother.
"You can tell me anything you need."
"I want to go to school. I haven't finished my studies yet." Emilee was very cautious and never dared to look Tanner in the eye. "Good. I can help you."
It was very easy to appease Emilee. Aleigha didn't hate this girl, so she was willing to treat her with sincerity.
In the afternoon, she took Emilee to go shopping. There were no girls who didn't want to look pretty. Emilee was no exception.
When she saw those beautiful clothes, she would stop. But she didn't ask for them.
Aleigha bought everything that Emilee stopped for.
"Miss Gardner, I can't take them. They are a lot."
When the two of them passed by a dessert shop, Aleigha asked if she wanted to have a rest.
"Aleigha, what are you doing here?" Freddie, who had just finished playing basketball with his classmates, was also preparing to buy some desserts.
"I'm shopping with my friend," said Aleigha. She was very polite to Freddie, but she wouldn't cross the line.
For her, Freddie was a family.
"Then let me take you guys home. My driver is over there," Freddie looked at the girl beside Aleigha unconsciously.
He couldn't help feeling a little shocked.
This girl was so beautiful, but her beauty made his heart ache.
She was smiling, but her eyes seemed to be crying.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but laugh. "Is that what men do? They can't take their eyes off a pretty girl."
Freddie's face flushed red, and his classmates started teasing him.
Emilee looked up at Freddie and muttered in her heart, "This boy is really cute."
It was a pity that Emilee was a few
years older than Freddie. Aleigh
Bsr than Freddie. Ale het
dismissed the idea of bringing them together.
After having the desserts, Freddie had his driver take them back to Tanner's place.
Emilee had a rare smile on her face

At this moment, Aleigha's phone rang.
that
"Aleigha, come to the hospital," Freddie choked with sobs on the other side of the phone.
Holding the phone, Aleigha felt that her heart was thumping.
"Aleigha, I'll have someone send you there."
When Aleigha arrived at the hospital
she saw
Adrian talking to two policemen at the entrance of the
building.
"Adrian, what happened?"
Adrian's face was full of haze, but at the moment he saw Aleigha, it became pity.
He walked up to Aleigha and hugged her. "Aleigha, no matter what happens, you have me."
"What happened?" Aleigha was unusually calm, but she felt someone pinch her hear.
"Go to see Aunt Windy for the last time."
Aleigha suddenly trembled. She pushed Adrian aside and rushed into the emergency room.
She met doctors and patients along the way, but
there was only one thought on her mind.
She wanted to see her godmother.
Freddie sat down on his knees in the emergency room. He couldn't cry anymore. He just looked at a place blankly.
They were many people here. All of them were wearing grave expressions.
"Godmother." Aleigha stepped forward and pushed the tightly shut door.
It was a long time before a nurse opened the door.
"The patient's relatives can come in."
Freddie looked up and stood up mechanically. Lowering his head, he walked in without saying a word.
Aleigha followed him closely, and people from the Woods family did not stop her.
Windy lay motionless on the operating table. There were wounds all over her.
Her beautiful face was covered with ferocious wounds, and blood was oozing out.
Aleigha suddenly didn't dare to go forward. She just stood there in a daze.
Freddie walked up to his mother like a robot. He caressed her cheeks carefully, afraid that he would hurt her.
"Mom, your face is dirty. Let me clean it, okay?
Mother, wake up and look at me. I'm Freddie.
"I will listen to you. I won't argue with you again.
"Can you please wake up? Dad is on the way, he wants to see you.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Mom, you haven't seen me get married yet! I promise to marry a beautiful woman.
"She'll be nice to you. Mom, wake up, look at me."
Aleigha's eyes were full of tears, and she tried her best to hold them at bay.
In the end, tears poured down her cheeks.
It hurt so much.
