Chapter 1327
The sight of Aleigha urged Samantha to run away.
However, she couldn't move an inch.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"Samantha, are you satisfied with the result?" Aleigha looked at Samantha with a spurious smile and provoked.
"Aleigha, I'm not done with you."
Samantha was not docile. She fought her way into society at a young age.
The Gardner family once offered her an affluent and respectful life. However, Aleigha drove her out and ended her dream life.
To make things worse, Samantha's mother and old brother were sent to prison by Aleigha. Samantha was exasperated and would like to tear Aleigha apart out of hatred. Samantha was smart but illiterate. Once again, she was defeated by Aleigha.
New hatred piled on old, Samantha was infuriated.
"I can't wait to see your and Leona's counterattack."
The corners of Aleigha's lips curled up slightly. This smile exasperated Samantha greatly, but she didn't dare to slap it away now.
There were two reasons for her inaction. One was that she had no confidence to win in a physical fight with Aleigha, and the other one was that Adrian was there.
"I will make you pay. You have my word."
Samantha threatened viciously, but her gaze landing on Adrian betrayed her timidity.
'That man's gaze is terrifying.'
Aleigha and Adrian mocked Samantha for a while before returning to the banquet hall. Then, Samantha left despondently.
After Samantha left, Mill came out of the lounge with Ruby.
"You completed your mission. This is the 200,000 from Miss Gardner. Leave City A. The further you go, the better. Take your family with you."
Looking at the bank card in Mill's hand, Ruby shook her head and said with a sad smile, "Thank Miss Gardner for me. I appreciate her kindness but won't take the card. I'm leaving now." After this refusal, Ruby left. Later she intended to leave City A regardless of the opposition of her family.
On the way to the airport, she was stopped by several black cars.
More than a dozen men in black got out of the cars, smashed the window of Ruby's car, and took her away.
Ruby disappeared without any warning.
The next morning, Aleigha was awakened by a call.
"Miss Gardner, Ruby is dead. Please check the news."
Mill sounded anxious on the other end of the phone.
Aleigha was stunned. Before she could speak, Adrian already hung up the phone for her.
"Let's me handle it. Don't worry."
Aleigha nodded absentmindedly. This sudden news stunned her into a mess.
Adrian brought Aleigha back to the company. Then, she checked the news after calming down.
Last night, a woman jumped off from the 29th floor of a hotel, and further information was under investigation.
The news put Aleigha into a contemplation.
She didn't notice the knock until Mill came in.
"Miss Gardner, this is the surveillance video I just got. Ruby's family has gone to claim the body."
"Leona should be behind this disaster."
"She is cruel and merciless but won't come up with this idea."
"You mean she is not the murderer?"
Aleigha didn't say anything, and her eyes fell on the computer screen. She felt complex at this moment.
She would like to set Ruby free, but Leona took her life away.
"I'll call you later if necessary."
Mill nodded and turned to leave. He stopped suddenly and said, "Miss Gardner, what about the detention house?"
"Keep watching. If Samantha goes there in person, inform Mr. Maddox in time."
Adrian returned to his office after a meeting, and then Jaidyn followed in. Before Jaidyn sat down, Adrian threw a file bag to him.
"These are Lennon's companies. They cooperate with you on several projects."
Jaidyn took the file and looked at the documents inside.
After a while, he said, "These are small
assistant. How did Lennon gett ects, so I left them to r
involved in them?"
"Both you and I knew Lennon well. Do you think he is so capable to get your projects?"
Adrian replied coldly as his gaze shifted towards the door.
Jaidyn became alert by his gaze and looked out at the same time.
Someone prowled outside the door.
"Your man?"
"Aleigha's."
"You don't trust him?"
Adrian shook her head, "I always feel that this person is a hard nut. It's better to be vigilant."
"I'll go check."
Jaidyn stood up, slid to the door, and opened it suddenly.
This sudden move didn't surprise Mill. He looked at Jaidyn and said in a low voice, "I'm here to see Mr. Xiao." "Come in."
Walking in the office, Mill didn't change his countenance and maintained his manners to Adrian as he did to Aleigha. "Mr. Xiao, what can I do for you?"
Adrian stared at Mill in search of his secrets.
"I have a feeling that you are like an old acquaintance to me." "Mr. Xiao, who is this old acquaintance?"
"A friend. Maybe I made a mistake."
The eye expression of Mill convinced Adrian that this man in front of him was not that man in his memory. "You are like one of my acquaintances."
Jaidyn stepped forward and put his

"Mr. Galloway, who do you think I look like?"
Jaidyn looked directly at Mill's eyes. After a while, he failed to connect Mill with that man in his mind.
However, his manners did reminded Jaidyn of that man from time to time.
"I made a mistake, too. I'm sorry."
"You can leave now. Take good care of Miss Gardner."
Adrian and Jaidyn looked at each other after Mill left.
"Freddie!"
They said almost at the same time.
"Freddie is supposed to be in the army. Why does he stay by Aleigha with this face?"
Adrian felt confused.
Jaidyn felt lost too. He once contacted Freddie who was supposed to be in the army.
"Maybe we are oversensitive."
"If he were Freddie, I don't mind his staying and protecting Aleigha."
"But I am worried that it is not the case."
Adrian was always alert about those people around Aleigha.
"I'll go check the Lennon's matter. I will answer your question as soon as possible."
Jaidyn changed the topic when Adrian was absentminded.
"OK."
Then, Adrian brought Aleigha and Jaidyn to a restaurant nearby for lunch.
They just sat down, and someone came over.
"Good to see you all here."
Maurice came with a hot beauty. He sounded glad to see Adrian, but why?
