Aleigha paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant. She got in the car but did not intend to take them with her. "I''ll meet you at the bank two blocks ahead."
After that, the driver started the car and drove away, leaving Pe cursing behind her in a fit of anger.
When Aleigha got to the bank, someone took her to the VIP lounge.
The clerk told her that she could make the transfer now, as long as Pe was here.
Pe and Sean ran over almost without stopping. They looked around, trying to find Aleigha.
Someone walked up to them and brought them into the VIP lounge. At the same time, someone secretly followed them in.
As soon as Pe came in, she gasped and couldn''t even say aplete sentence.
"Check it out. I can transfer it to you now." Aleigha gave Pe a hint with her eyes.
Pe quickly gave her her bank card and did not care about what happened behind her.
Aleigha handed the card to the clerk. After a while, the transfer was done.
"You can check your bnce now."
Aleigha passed the card to Pe, and a trace of a smile shed in her eyes.
Pe took her card with a trembling hand. She wondered if she was dreaming.
"Well, thank you. But I can''t give you the bracelet now. I need to make sure that I get the money."
"It''s okay. I''ll wait for you."
Pe took the card and flied to the counter. Soon, she saw the number she wanted.
Both she and Sean danced with excitement.
"Pe all, Sean all, you''re under suspicion of racketeering. Come with us to the police station."
Just as Pe and Sean were happy, two cops handcuffed them.
Pe was sent to the police station before she knew what had happened.
"Miss Gardner, you shoulde with us, too." Arthur said.
Originally, this wasn''t his case. But Aleigha asked him for help and he said yes.
That was why he came here.
"Mr. Maddox, the jade bracelet on Pe is a relic of my mother.
"She took it. Can I have it back?"
Arthur was a little surprised, but then he nodded. As long as you have proof that it belongs to your mother."
Proof?
Aleigha smiled and said nothing, and then went to the police station.
It was already evening when she came out of the police station. She had turned off her cell phone.
When she turned it on, she was almost home.
A figure darted out and rushed to her car.
Aleigha looked over, only to see Samantha lying on the ground in a sorry state and ring at her.
''Aleigha, where is my mother?"
"Keep driving. Ignore her."
Aleigha closed her eyes. The driver did as she said. Samantha was really freaked out. She thought she could stop Aelgiha, but she was wrong.
The car did not stop but went faster and faster. Samantha had no choice but to get out of the way.
Aleigha could hear Samantha cursing as she walked into the house.
It was alreadyte but Adrian hadn''te back yet. After taking a bath, Aleigha sat at her desk and read papers.
From time to time Samantha''s cries woulde from downstairs, but she pretended not to hear them.
Adrian hadn''t been home all night, nor had he called Aleigha.
Looking at the empty bed, Aleigha upset. She wondered if
was
something wrong with
rtionship.
They had not quarreled since their marriage, but she did not feel the way she felt when she was in love with him.
She changed her clothes and went out. As she expected, Samantha stopped her car again.
"Aleigha, where are my mom and my brother?"
Slowly rolling down the window, Aleigha slightly smiled and said with a sneer, "The bracelet on Pe is fake.
"The real one is on you. I''ll tell you where they are when you give that to me."
"B*tch, how dare you threaten me? So what if you married Adrian? I remember something very clearly.
"If you don''t let go of my mom and my brother, I''m gonna tell everyone your dirtyundry.
"Adrian is so gonna abandon you. Haha."
A hint of fierceness shed across Aleigha''s eyes. She closed the window and didn''t want to say anything else. Yes, she had a secret.
It was a secret she would never forget. She thought if she left that ce, she could forget it ever happened.
But Pe and Samantha knew about it.
She arrived at thepany. Adrian was no here. His assistant only knew that he went out.
For the whole morning, Aleigha was in a state of unease.
At lunchtime, Jaidyn came to herpany and saw her sitting nkly on the sofa with a ss of honey water.
"What''s wrong? Where''s Adrian? What happened to you guys?"
"Nothing. We''re fine." Aleigha came to her senses and took a sip of honey water.
"Who''s woman downstairs? She kept yelling and screaming. Didn''t you hearthat?"
Jaidyn put on a serious expression.
"What woman?" Aleigha was confused.
"She said she was your rtive, and she told everyone you got raped before you came to City A."
The ss in Aleigha''s hand fell to
the ground, and the honey
sshed in all directions. She
of
ss pierced her ankles and ca calves.
"Samantha!"
Aleigha was so furious that she got up. Jaidyn hurriedly reached out to stop her.
"Calm down. I''ve already had someone take her away."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
"I''m gonna kill her. Let go of my hand."
"Aleigha! Take it easy! When did you be so easily provoked?"
Aleigha gazed at Jaidyn and didn''t know what to say.
All this time she had be irritable and irascible. She could do nothing to calm down.
"It''s not what she said."
"Then rx and think about how to deal with her."
They came to Aleigha''s office. Aleigha told Jaidyn about her secret.
"It''s obvious she''s just out to get you. It''s not a big deal. I''ll take care of it.
"You just close your eyes and have some rest." "You know where Adrian is, right? What
happened?"
Jaidyn shook his head. "I don''t. He
was in my ce that day, butter he left in a hurry and asked me to take care of you. I don''t think he''d put himself in danger.
"Nothing will happen. Don''t worry."
"If he doesn''t make it back alive, I''m gonna remarry." Aleigha said, gnashing her teeth.
