Chapter 1228
"Okay, I can help, but..."
But what?
Aleigha had a bad presentiment.
Squinting, she noticed the upturn of Jaidyn's mouth corners and waited patiently.
"But, you have to marry me."
Marriage?
Aleigha looked at Jaidyn in shock.
"My family has been urging me to get married. I don't like blind dates or commercialize marriage.
Now you're asking for my help, and I think you're a good option."
Aleigha regained her calmness and sneered, "Jaidyn, how scheming you are!"
"I suggested a win-win proposal, in which you will lose nothing but gain some fund."
"I don't want to mess up with you."
Aleigha was calm looked at Jaidyn coldly.
"In my opinion, I am the best candidate for you in this proposal. Even Adrian can't strike Marcos a deadly blow with these proofs." "No one, except me, can do it."
"Marcos pocketed the wealth of the Empire Group. If I make a complaint, he will be doomed eternally."
"You are a smart girl and deliberate all possibilities."
"You come for me because I can help you reach optimum efficiency."
Aleigha didn't like being seen through by others and frowned.
She rediscovered Jaidyn. What he said was right, as Adrian couldn't give Marcos a fatal blow.
So, she came to seek Jaidyn's help.
If Empire Group didn't take action against Marcos, those proofs would be useless.
This was the right moment which Aleigha had waited for a long time.
She hated to let it slip.
Aleigha hesitated, and Jaidyn felt there was hope for him.
In fact, she felt it not bad to get married to Aleigha and raise a family.
Aleigha lowered her head, and her mind was in turmoil.
Jaidyn waited patiently, and his eyes lingered on
Aleigha.
The longer he stared at Aleigha, the more he thought that she should be the right choice for him.
He didn't mind her once being with Adrian.
"I need time to think it over." Aleigha stood up, got back those documents, and left under the gazes of Jaidyn.
The chilly air outside Empire Group cooled Aleigha down instantly.
The acceptance of Jaidyn's proposal meant that Adrian would become a passing traveler in her life.
Adrian had done a lot for her, and she could do nothing in return.
And she couldn't imagine how mad Adrian would got if that happened.
Aleigha felt burning under the sun and in the cold wind.
Instead of the villa, Aleigha went to her company.
She ran into Lennon at the entrance of the building.
A girl, dressed up gorgeously and about the same age as Aleigha, stood next to Lennon.
"Aleigha, how are you doing?" Lennon saw Aleigha who was absent-minded.
He walked to Aleigha quickly, ignoring the girl next to him.
Aleigha collected herself and smiled faintly at Lennon, "I stayed abroad for sometime."
"I came back not long ago, and thank you."
"Lennon, who is she?" The girl came over and sized up Aleigha hostilly.
This unkindness exasperated Aleigha in bad mood, but she took some effort to maintain amiable. Because this girl seemed like a friend of Lennon.
"This is Aleigha, my good friend." Lennon introduced, and there was some imperceptible sadness.
Jeers appeared on the face of the girl, "Lennon, can this girl be your friend?"
"You are innocent. Be careful, and don't be captivated by girls with vanity."
"They play their cards well and are anxious to seduce those riches."
Coldness flashed across Aleigha's face, "Lennon, I still have work to do. Let's get together another day." "Aleigha, wait. Lisa, you've gone too far. She's my friend. If you dare to insult her again, I won't forgive you."
Out of anger, Lennon left the girl behind and ran after Aleigha.
"Lennon, if you leave, the cooperation between our families will end at this moment."
Lennon paused. He turned to the girl and ended his chase after Aleigha.
In her office, Aleigha threw a fit.
When Adrian called, she couldn't conceal her anger.
On the other side of the phone, Adrian chuckled, "Who exasperated my Aleigha? What do you think of a dinner tonight?"
"I have a good news for you."
Aleigha pursed her lips. After a long silence, she accepted this dinner invitation.
At about five o'clock, Kasey called Aleigha.
It was in a coffee shop.
Kasey arrived early. She couldn't hide the smile on her face when Aleigha appeared.
"What is up?" Aleigha sounded cold.
Kasey curled her lips to a smile, seductive to men.
However, Aleigha didn't like this smile.
"Miss Gardner seems unhappy. Why don't share you a piece of c
news?" "What good news? DonetNôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
waste your time mystifying things."
Aleigha didn't bother to pretend warm to Kasey.
"Miss Gardner, I married Marcos for money."
"I don't feel the thing for Marcos, and I am only his man at chess."
"I can tell you anything you, only if you give me money."
Aleigha was sharp eyed and looked at Kasey inquisitively.
"Just tell me the good news. I have no interest in you."
Kasey's eyes were calm as she stirred the coffee in front of her, "A regicide."
A regicide?
Aleigha looked up at Kasey suddenly, "Marcos wants to murder Dustin?"
Kasey said nothing, but there was an unconcealable smile in her eyes. "How much do you want?"
"I want a confortable life. Ten million, and I can tell you more."
"Ten million? You are too greedy. You can't ten million even if you spend your whole life in the nightclub." "How dare to demand ten million" Kasey was in shock, as she didn't expect that Aleigha would dig up her background.
"Miss Gardner, there is still room for discussion." Kasey's voice softened.
"Discussion? You didn't mean that.
I will know your so-called good news sooner or later, so why should I waist my money?"
Kasey realized she was now at a disadvantage due to her underestimation of the young girl.
Her confidence left her, and she behaved cautiously.
"Miss Gardner, we can cooperate. I know you hate Marcos, and I can help you."
"However, I need some rewards after you succeed."
Aleigha achieved her goal. With a
sneer,
she
said, "We will talk about
the cooperation later. If nece
will contact you."
Now, Aleigha was strong enough to have the final say.
