Chapter 1310
"Alexzander said you were cruel, ruthless and cunning, but I don't think so."
"Why are we talking about this now? Aren't you gonna avenge your brother? Come on, the police are coming. Kill me and tell them you are acting in self-defense."
There were footsteps outside the door, but the man suddenly put down his gun. He walked up to Adrian and threw his gun. Then, he raised his hands and shouted for help. They came out of the police station. Adrian walked behind the middle-aged man without saying a word.
"They are gangsters. How did you offend them?"
"I don't know. Someone tricked me here," Adrian replied.
The man stopped and looked back at Adrian. "Alexzander and I are half brothers.
"One day, he called me and said he was dying. He told me a lot of things, so I knew you were Adrian when I saw you."
"I tried to kill you, but then..."
Adrian looked up at him and saw him narrowing his eyes. "Then, you didn't want to kill me anymore."
"I can get you out of the country."
"I'm good. I'll be gone in two days."
Then went back to the restaurant. Adrian continued to help him clean up in silence.
He didn't go out for the next two days. On the morning of the third day, he disappeared.
City A.
Aleigha was sitting at her desk in a state of uneasiness.
The news these days was all about Adrian's sudden disappearance. For the first time, she realized that she had lost contact with him. He left without telling her.
"Miss Gardner, the reporters are here again.
Should we send them away?"
"Forget it. Let them be."
Millennium Park, Chicago.
Adrian was still wearing his black suit. As a neat freak, he hadn't changed his clothes in days. He felt very uncomfortable right now. "I thought you died."
When Tanner got out of the car, he saw Adrian, who was in a sorry state.
"Who did it? How are my parents?"
"They're doing well. This hunt seems to be the work of someone we don't know, but I found something interesting." "Say it!"
"It's a long story. I think your first priority is to take a shower and change."
"I can't wait that long. Get me a plane now. Aleigha is waiting for me."
When he spoke of Aleigha, his eyes softened and his face became less cold.
"If Aleigha saw you like this, she'd laugh at you." Tanner joked.
Adrian glanced at him. The corners of his mouth curled up and he said, "She must have been worried sick about me. I need to go back now." "Are you gonna put the Chicago thing on hold?"
"Well, since I don't know who's behind this, I'd rather not waste any more time."
"You really got your ass handed to you. I can't stop laughing at the thought of it"
Adrian didn't mind Tanner's teasing. He just wanted to go home.
Night fell.
It was drizzling in City A.
Aleigha sat at her desk reading papers. There were footsteps outside the door, as if a servant was cleaning the room.
She looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already 10 o'clock in the evening. Cleaning at this hour?
She stood up in confusion and opened the door. The next second, she saw a tall man and smelled the strong smell of sweat.
His heart pounded and she hurriedly stepped back. But the man held her by the waist.
"Aleigha, where are you going?"
She could not be more familiar with this voice.
"Wow, when was the last time you took a shower?" She covered her nose and deliberately put on look of disgust.
Adrian to not know whether to laugh or cry.
"I skipped shower so you could see me earlier."
Adrian hugged her with a smile.
"Who'd have thought a neat freak like you would smell like garbage? Not me anyway." Aleigha joked.
Her anxiety was finally gone. She had so many things to say and so many questions to ask, but suddenly it didn't matter.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
The only thing mattered was that he was back.
"It's been a rough couple of days, but I'll let you know when I get out of the shower."
The next morning, Adrian drove Aleigha to the company.

As soon as they arrived, the reporters surrounded them. Adrian didn't have time to talk to the reporters. He called security and
chased them away.
Adrian's employees were shocked to learn of his return.
Soon, the news media was all over his return.
At 10 o'clock, Lennon suddenly came to Aleigha's company.
"Miss Gardner, Mr. Landry wants to see you."
Aleigha frowned slightly and thought, "What brings him here?"
"Let him in."
After a while, Lennon came in. Aleigha was dealing with the documents.
"Aleigha, Adrian is back?" Lennon asked.
"Well, what's the matter?"
"I was just passing by. You are not gonna drive me out, are you?"
Lennon seemed to have forgotten that he had tried to die with Aleigha. There was a big bright smile on his face.
Aleigha almost thought he was the same sunny boy he had always been
"You don't think that we can still be friends, do you? Lennon, have you forgotten something?"
She had been grateful to him before, but right now she just saw him as a stranger.
"Aleigha, is there something wrong with me?? I'm only targeting Adrian, not you."
Lennon's heart ached as he saw the disgust in her eyes. If it weren't for revenge, they would have still been friends.
"Adrian is my husband. If you go against him, you go against me. Everyone knows about the relationship between me and Adrian.
"What makes you think I'm okay with you targeting my husband?"
"Aleigha, Adrian didn't even give you

a decent wedding. People may you Mrs. Xiao, but they all thinkit's
only a matter of time before he
abandon you."
"What does it matter to me what people think? You're one of them, aren't you? Do you have anything else? I'm busy."
Aleigha didn't want to waste her time on him.
"Aleigha, I'm doing this for your own
good. I love you. I love you no less than Adrian does." "You're at
company and she's my wife't
you feel embarrassed, Mr. Landry?" en.swhovels.net
Adrian pushed the door open and walked in. Standing behind Lennon, he gave off coldness that made the temperature in the room drop.
"Adrian, it's not against the law to go after someone you like." Lennon looked at Adrian coldly and retorted.
