Chapter 1307
"There are conditions. I'm gonna leave this all up to you. When you go to South Africa, find me that blue diamond."
"The blue diamond that Henry II of England left in South Africa? You're giving me a great job.
"I knew you wouldn't be so generous."
"You can quit if you want. I can work with someone else. You're not my only option."
"You..."
Adrian knew what kind of person Jaidyn was. He would never say no to money. "When should I set off?"
"It's up to you. Come to my company tomorrow, and I'll give something to you."
After leaving Jaidyn's place, Adrian decided to have someone look into Kianna.
On second thought, he gave up. Jaidyn was not a fool. He must have done it before. Otherwise, why would he let her stay at his house?
Thinking of this, Adrian relaxed. He knew that Jaidyn had a thing for Aleigha.
With Kianna around, sooner or later he would get over Aleigha.
As Adrian drove home, he saw three furtive figures outside his house.
He parked his car and got out, only to see Samantha walk to him.
"Adrian... Adrian..."
Samantha looked at Adrian with an odd, dreamy smile on her face.
Adrian frowned and said coldly. "I don't like to take things too far.
"You used to be Aleigha's family, so I forgave you for sticking around outside my house.
"But if I see you again, you're never coming to this city again."
"Adrian, I..."
Samantha looked at Adrian like a frightened bird. Her usual arrogance was gone.
Adrian turned around and walked into his house without looking back.
There was a heavy rain at night. Perla and her kids spent the night at an ATM room down the street.
When she woke up in the morning, she found Samantha was gone.
Perla thought Samantha was wandering around, so she didn't think too much about it. She went to the Xiao Residence again with Sean. They watched Adrian drive away. Half an hour later, Aleigha's car showed up.
They rushed to her in a hurry.
Perla couldn't wait any longer.
Aleigha saw them from afar and rolled down the car window.
"Wait for me at this restaurant this afternoon."
Throwing out a note, Aleigha left in a hurry. She didn't want to see Perla's annoying face.
Holding the note, Perla almost screamed out of excitement. She decided to go to the restaurant now.
It was because they couldn't afford to take a cab. The only money she had left was to buy Sean food.
As for Samantha, Perla did not have time to look for her.
At lunchtime, Aleigha excused herself from visiting Emilee and went straight to the police station.
Coincidentally, she came across the policeman she knew, Arthur Maddox.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Perla and Sean walked all morning and finally arrived at the restaurant at one o'clock in the afternoon. They didn't dare to get in. Tired and hungry, they sat outside the restaurant.
Aleigha arrived at past two o'clock. She took one look at the two discombobulated people and went into the restaurant.
Perla and Sean followed her in.
"Order whatever you want." Aleigha hated them to the core. All she wanted was to get that bracelet back.
But she knew too well about Perla's personality.
Perla was not just gonna give that bracelet to her. This woman was greedy.
"Now we're talking. Aleigha, tell me, did you agree to my terms?"
Perla looked at Aleigha's expressionless face and felt a little nervous.

Perla reminded herself to be careful.
"Yes. It's not hard for me to give you what you want.
to be.
"I will provide you with a place to live, but all three of you need to get jobs."
"What? Sean's never had a job, and Samantha is supposed to be stay-at-home rich lady.
"As for me, I'm too old to work.
"B*tch, you're making things difficult for me."
Perla got mad right away. She shouted like a shrew, not caring where she was.
Aleigha glanced at her and slightly raised the corner of her mouth. "Why do I have to raise you guys?"
"Why? Because I have your mom's stuff.
"Give me 100 million, and I'll give you the bracelet."

more than enough for her to splurge.
"Yes, we want 100 million. It's just a piece of cake for you, right?
"You are so rich, why can't you give us some? Have you forgotten that my family raised you?
"It's time for you to pay us back."
It was Sean. He ordered a lot of food while Perla was talking to Aleigha.
He was already drooling before the food arrived.
He laughed, exposing his yellowing broken teeth.
Aleigha felt so disgusted that she lost all appetite.
She could smell him sitting across from him. When was the last time he took a shower?
"Pay you back? Wow, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
"I was living in your house, but my mom gave you a monthly stipend. I owe you nothing.
"Is your impudence natural?
"And you even want 100 million? Don't you know that blackmail is punishable by imprisonment?" Hearing that, Perla's face suddenly froze. She looked around but didn't find anything unusual.
She took a deep breath, took out the bracelet and lift it up.
She said in a sharp voice, "Aleigha, I'm gonna break it!"
Aleigha snorted in her heart. But thinking of the bracelet, she pressed her lips.
She said expressionlessly, "Okay, fine."
Immediately, she took out her check book and wrote Perla a check.
Perla grabbed the check and carefully counted the zeros. There was a satisfying smile on her face.
"We don't know how to use it. Please transfer the money to my bank card."
Perla put the check back on the table and handed Aleigha her bank card.
"Then please come with me to the bank. I can't
transfer that kind of money from here."
Perla did not doubt her. She had seen it on TV. She took Sean's hand and was about to walk out.
"I haven't eaten anything yet. I'm so
hungry Let's go after lunch." Sean was both tired and hungry. He
needed food. Content befo
"All that matters now is getting the money. Go!"
Perla blushed with nervousness and excitement.
