Chapter 1316
It was Maurice. He walked out with Brenda in his arms. Aleigha looked at them. Brenda was lowering her head in silence. Maurice, on the other hand, was gently smiling.
"I'm good."
Aleigha smiled faintly and took a few steps back, keeping him at arm's length.
"Then, see you."
Aleigha did not reply. She said in her heart, "I wish I won't see you again."
Maurice did not let Brenda stand in place waiting for him, but pulled her together to the rain.
Adrian pulled up to the side of the road and trotted up to Aleigha. He took off his shirt and covered Aleigha with it.
Then he put his hands over her head.
III -.1.1 - H
Lets go.
Aleigha put her arms around his waist. They quickly ran to the car.
Maurice sat in his car and watched them from a distance. He didn't know why, but he had a strange feeling.
Brenda was sitting in the passenger seat. She didn't dare to utter a single sound. Her body was still trembling slightly.
"Get out of the car," Maurice suddenly said.
Brenda was slightly stunned. Then, she took her purse and got off.
The car sped along the highway.
Maurice was irrationally upset.
He ran three red lights in a row and was finally pulled over by the traffic police.
Coincidentally, Adrian was pulled over for a breathalyzer at the same place.
"That guy seems to be Maurice."
Aleigha looked out of the window and saw a man getting off from a supercar. In the dark, his face was not that clear.
Adrian handed the policeman his driver's license and passed the test.
"Looks like he ran a red light." Aleigha noticed the policeman was asking Maurice questions.
Adrian looked over. Then, he opened the car door and got off.
Maurice was pretty wild and wacky. Apparently, he was not a rule follower.
There was always an evil smile on his devil face.
But at this moment, he seemed a bit upset.
He sounded unusually impatient. "I'm gonna go. If you want, come to my company tomorrow."
"I'm sorry, Sir. You and your car are not going anywhere."
The traffic policeman looked very serious. He didn't know who Maurice was.
"I'm busy. You can call my assistant, and she'll take care of it." Maurice took out a cigarette and lit it.
"What's the matter?"
Adrian came to them.
"He's suspected of exceeding the speed limit."
The traffic policeman looked at Adrian and his tone softened a little.
"I'll be his bail bondsman. You keep his car and we'll come to you tomorrow morning."
The traffic policeman looked at Adrian and then Maurice. Soon after, two traffic policemen came over.
After discussion, they agreed.
"Mr. Xiao, without you, we wouldn't let him go. He was against the law.
"I hope you can keep your word. We must see him tomorrow morning." Adrian nodded with a calm face. Then, the traffic police towed Maurice's car.
It was almost done. Adrian turned around to leave.
"Adrian, as long as you don't stop me from dealing with Jaidyn, we can still be friends."
Maurice said as he smoked.
"My attitude is the same. I won't take the initiative to go against you.
"However, I'm Jaidyn's friend and I will help him."
Adrian walked straight to his car without looking back.
Watching him drive away, Maurice took a few puffs of smoke and threw the unfinished cigarette on the ground.
When they got home, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Aleigha took a hot shower and was ready to go to sleep.
All of a sudden, a hasty doorbell rang.
Adrian was in the study. When he walked out, he saw Aleigha come out of her room.
He smiled gently and said, "Go back to sleep. Leave it to me."
When Adrian went downstairs, the maid opened the door.
A cool breeze blew through the door, and Lennon came in angrily. Without a word, he swung at me Adrian.
Luckily, Adrian dodged it.
"Adrian, what did you do to my uncles?"
Lennon's eyes were red as he glared furiously at Adrian.
"They started it."
Adrian replied in a cold voice. Fierceness flashed across his eyes.
"You could have come after me! They're old!"
Seeing how arrogant Adrian was, Lennon got furious.
"They tried to kill me in Chicago. You think I should have shown mercy to them?
"Even without me, they wouldn't be able to get a foothold in City A.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
"You know what your weakness is? You're too soft.
"I just taught them a lesson. If they ever challenge me again, I will make their lives a living hell."
Adrian had been going easy on the
Landrys, but they tried to kill t

When he knew who was behind this, he didn't hesitate to retaliate.
He wouldn't show any mercy to them.
He didn't just take over their industries, he took down their companies overseas.
They were broke again.
It could be imagined how painful they were. They must have cried in front of Lennon.
"How dare you!"
Lennon was speechless and inwardly furious.
"You don't deserve to be my opponent. I hate your dirty tricks.
"If you want to take revenge, do it honorably. This is a warning.
"I've let the Landrys do, but what did I get? Do you really think I can't make your stupid family fall apart again?"
Adrian looked at Lennon, watching the fire burning in his eyes. He couldn't help but sneer.
He had never regarded Lennon as his opponent.
The weak did not deserve to be his opponent.
"Adrian, I'll make you regret it."
Lennon turned around, and walked out of the Xiao Residence.
Aleigha saw it clearly on the second floor.
"The Landrys tried you kill you at Chicago?"
Adrian turned around and looked at her. He nodded. "Yes. I had someone get the bottom of it."
"You were too kind to them."
Aleigha didn't know how dangerous Adrian was at that time. But she knew he almost died.
"Because I'm gonna be a dad."
Aleigha looked down at her stomach and said with a smile, "I have an idea."
"Tell me."
A smile spread over Adrian's face.
"It's a secret. You'll see."
The next morning, Adrian took Aleigha to the company.
Ruby had been waiting for Aleigha in the living room for a long time.
"Miss Gardner, have you seen this?"
Aleigha looked at the gold ring in her hand. Then she nodded. "It's Samantha's. Why is it here?"
"I picked it up from Leona's by accident. I thought it might be useful, so here I am."
A hint of coldness flashed across
Aleigha's eyes. She smiled and said,
"You did a good job. I'll call you if
I
need anything."
After Ruby left, Aleigha took out her mobile
