Chapter 1336
"You!"
"You wouldn't like to embrace death, would you?"
Leona groaned from the pain in her wrist. And her eyes wandered as if the man in front of her frightened her to death. "Why are you here?"
Aleigha looked at the man and asked in confusion.
"I got your trace the moment you were in City A but didn't disturb you."
Maurice threw away Leona's hand disgustedly and wiped his hand on her clothes.
"What's up?"
Maurice produced his card and threw it at the cashier.
"Take mine."
A hint of displeasure flashed past Aleigha's eyes, but she didn't take action.
Leona was driven mad by jealousy. 'Adrian fell for Aleigha, and so does Maurice, but why?'
'I can see why?!'
"Aleigha, you're cheating on Adrian."
Leona reproached Aleigha while moved backward.
Aleigha rolled her eyes at Leona, and then a smile spread on her face, "So what? You still have no chance!"
"What do you mean?"
Leona tried to defend herself, but it was obvious that she cared about Adrian very much.
"Well, you don't understand? Or I made a mistake? It is Samantha rather than you who has a major crush on Adrian?"
"Well, it must be her who is eager to get close to Adrian since you denied."
This information set Leona on fire.
With Maurice around, Leona didn't dare to do anything to Aleigha. So, she went back to her company.
She had always suspected that Samantha had a secret love toward Adrian.
Aleigha turned cold, and her face darkened after Leona.
"Aleigha, what's going on between you and Adrian?"
"What? You doubt us?"
Aleigha narrowed her eyes to look Maurice directly in the eyes.
Maurice felt uneasy under the stare, "Aleigha, don't look at me like that, or I will do something wicked."
"Thanks for your gift."
Aleigha looked away, turned around, and left without looking back.
Maurice nailed on the spot, watching Aleigha go further and further away. He lost the courage to chase after her suddenly.
Aleigha went back to the hotel after dinner. She smelled some familiar scents upon her entering the door.
In one second, she was surrounded by one warm embrace.
"Aleigha, you seem to enjoy your free life!"
"Why are you here? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
"I miss you, so I came to see you."
Adrian held Aleigha in his arms carefully.
"Oh my!"
Aleigha exclaimed all of a sudden.
Adrian looked at her nervously and asked, "What's
"He kicked me."
Adrian felt relieved and looked down at Aleigha's bulging belly.
"It grows. Are you sure that he kicked you?"
Aleigha nodded and stroked her belly tenderly.
"Let me listen."
Adrian pressed his ear slowly against her belly.
There seemed to be telepathy between him and the baby, it kicked the belly again.
"It's moving! It's moving!"
Adrian shouted in shock.
Adrian looked ridiculous, and Aleigha shook her head helplessly.
"You should leave now. This farce will end the day after tomorrow."
"A moment. Let me stay with you for a while."
Well, it is not late yet.
The couple lied on the bed. Adrian turned on the TV to watched local news.
"Lennon focuses on projects about environment protection and new energies recently."Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"The government is supportive to these projects."
In the TV set, Lennon was taking the officials of City A to visit his new factory.
"Well, people talked long ago."
Aleigha seemed not interested in this topic.
"Aleigha, you think you could hide it from me?"
Aleigha was stunned for a moment, then sat up, and looked at Adrian.
Adrian couldn't help giving a kiss to her face.
"Tell me, when will you strike the deadly move?"
"When did you know that?"
"When you started to think about it."
"Da*n! I thought I did well in security work."
"Come on."
Aleigha tilted her head and thought
for a
time, "Three months ago, I a friend. He mentioned
his program at hand to me"
"We are not close. He was running out of funds and came to ask for my help."
"So, I introduced him to a friend of my Godfather in Germany."
"Soon, the program worked. And this friend is taking the lead in this field."
"Lennon heard about this program and invented a lot in it."
Adrian stared at Aleigha and remembered what happened recently.
"You know the rest of the story."
Aleigha stuck out her tongue and made a grimace.
Aleigha intended to impoverish Lennon through this program.
"These equipment were developed by my friends."
Aleigha looked at the equipment components on the screen with sparkling eyes.
Adrian was wordless and looked at Aleigha indulgently.
Two hours later, Adrian left.
Early the next morning, Aleigha got up early. She entered City Hall at 8 o'clock.
Lennon would sign contracts with the government today. Aleigha came early to make preparations.
The high official in City Hall was an
old
and comrade-in-arms with
Samuel, so he was more than glad to help Aleigha.
Aleigha got the contracts from the government some time ago.
She surrendered all profits to the government, which moved the old generation.
The official chatted with Aleigha for about two hours. Then, Aleigha retreated to another room before Lennon arrived.
The official was polite to Lennon and Leona.
However, he didn't mention the contract.
Lennon was anxious and brought up the topic
several times, but the official paltered.
"Official, this program is very
important for both me and City Aet
promise that the air in City A will be improved drastically within ten years."
The official was scrupulous and worked under Samuel for years.
He respected and trusted his old officer, so he believed in Aleigha.
"Stop the program in your hand."
Shooting a glance at Lennon, the official took a sip of tea.
"Why?"
Lennon felt unbelievable. The interviews happened only yesterday, but things changed today!
"Well, you are all celebrities in City A. You had better stop before any accident takes place."
Lennon was lost. He took the document from the official and scrutinized it.
