Chapter 1294
Because of the sudden incident, no one noticed that Adrian had left.
"The cat was poisoned." A bodyguard came in with a plate of desserts.
The moment Lennon saw it, his eyes darkened instantly.
Aleigha suddenly felt relieved. Fortunately, she didn't eat them.
Otherwise, she might be the one getting poisoned.
"I think these desserts belong to that lady. I said I wanted to eat them before.
"But she stopped me."
A girl pointed at Aleigha, and there was no emotion on her ordinary face.
However, Aleigha clearly saw the fleeting pride in this girl's eyes.
Everyone looked at Aleigha. She got up helplessly and shrugged. "Isn't there a camera here?
"Check it and it'll all come out."
In fact, Lennon had sent someone to the surveillance room before she said this.
However, his man was late.
When Adrian came in with the surveillance video, Lennon knew that his plan failed.
"You'd better have fewer half-assed schemes and fewer meaningless parties.
"I'm here as a favor to you. Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of anyone.
"Aleigha's my woman. I'll protect her like I'm protecting myself.
"Anyone who messes with her is messing with me, and I never forgive those who mess with me.
"I'm serious. If anyone has any problem with it, come to me.
"Have you heard what happened to the Reid family? It could happen again."
Adrian threw away the surveillance video, went forward, took Aleigha's hand, and left without looking back.
The richest woman immediately knew what was going on and looked at Lennon with a very complicated look.
Lennon wanted to explain, but she waved her hand and stopped him. "Lennon, save it. I guess this is as far as we go."
No one'd seen the surveillance video, but the truth was out. People left one after another.
When they were almost gone, Darien walked to
Lennon with a glass of wine. "Is that all you've got? You can't even beat Aleigha."
"Shut up. Didn't Aleigha give you a hard time? You're no better than me."
"Oh, Lennon, maybe we should form an alliance."
Lennon sneered. "Why? What do you have?"
"You think I lost 5 billion and went broke? Well, you underestimated the Xiao family."
"Let's talk about cooperation some other time. The priority is to deal with Adrian."
Aleigha and Adrian returned home. Aleigha was so sleepy that she wanted to go to bed, but Adrian took her into the bathroom.
The two of them sat in the big bathtub.
"How much do you know about the Stewart family?"
Adrian leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. "It's the biggest family in Fripdence with only one daughter.
"We saw her today. Arrogant and rude.
"Her dad had her in middle age, so she was really spoiled.
"The whole party thing was just a trap. Lennon was trying to set us up.
"He's so stupid. He doesn't even deserve to be my
enemy."
"Lennon used to be kind. His fall from grace has changed him a lot.
"He became that way mostly because of his family. He is no match for you because he is not good at scheming.
"He must have put a lot of thought into this stupid trap. Sigh."
At the new house of the Landrys.
Lennon stood by the window. The wine in the crystal glass was swaying.
"Lennon, what are you thinking about?"
The woman in silk pajamas hugged Lennon's waist from behind.
Even under the soft moonlight, she looked ordinary.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
"Why did you come to me? To get back at Aleigha or Adrian?"
A cold look flashed in Lennon's eyes. He pushed her away and turned to look at her.
"After I escaped from Adrian, I had
face-lift that put me through h
did
s because I want to aver
myself.
"We have the same purpose. I want Adrian to lose everything, and I want Aleigha to get what she deserves.
"I am on the same side as you. Why did you turn me down?"
"Kendal, we're not the same. I just want to deal with Adrian, but I don't want to hurt Aleigha.
"I know what you are planning. You're going to use me to help you get your revenge.
"You don't hate Adrian at all. You only hate Aleigha."
Kendal's ordinary face was filled with anger. The look in her eyes became vicious.
"Yes, I love Adrian. I don't want to see him suffer, and I hate Aleigha to the core.
"So what? Just because you don't want to hurt Aleigha doesn't mean she will thank you. "She will always be lying under Adrian. She's not gonna be yours.
"Because she doesn't like idiots."
Lennon slapped her in the face.
"I don't want to hear that again. You know what? I call tell Adrian who you are if I want.
"You know what he will do."
A hint of fear flashed in Kendal's eyes. She covered her face, not daring to say a word.
The next morning, Aleigha woke up
Brian got up. She rubbed k I found it was alreadyet
o'clock.
She was a little tired from the recent high-intensity work, so she slept late.
Adrian drove her to the company. On the way, she kept thinking about the ordinary face she met at the party.
That face could not be any more ordinary.
"I always feel like I know that woman."
"The one who said the desserts were yours?"
Aleigha nodded. "Maybe I've been overthinking. I'm a little tired recently. I think I should have some rest."
When she arrived at her company, she saw her secretary arguing with a woman.
"What happened?"
Aleigha looked at the woman with a poker face. "What do you want?"
"Aleigha, did you tamper with my mother's will? Why didn't my brother and I get Plenilune?
"Why did she give it to you?"
"Come to my office."
Aleigha sat in her chair and looked at the woman. She was Alexzander's daughter.
She seemed to have changed into another person. She no longer looked as as glorious as before.
"Didn't the lawyer make everything clear? Why did you come to me?"
"My mother barely knew you. Why would she ask you to announce the distribution?
"My brother inherited 80% of the estate, and I basically got nothing! That's impossible. My mother was always nice to me. You must have tampered her will."
