Chapter 1242
Adrian nodded slightly.
When they were having breakfast, Gerald came with his men.
Aleigha thought there was gonna be a big fight. However, as soon as Gerald came in, he knelt down to Adrian.
There was a faint smile on Aleigha's face.
"Mr. Xiao, I implore you to give me Jodie's body. It's all our fault."
Wow, this man was really amazing. Not only did he not want to avenge his wife, he knelt before the man who killed her.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
He acted like his wife deserved to die.
"Her body is in another place. Go and get it yourself." Adrian's tone was indifferent.
As soon as Gerald left, Aleigha came to Adrian and sat on his lap with an excited look on her face.
"I had someone to call him last night. Gerald is afraid of death.
"It's not his wife's life he cares about, it's himself." "Wow, I even feel sorry for Jodie." This husband and wife shared a common cruel heart, right?
"Are you free today?" Adrian narrowed his eyes as he stroked her back.
Feeling a little itchy, Aleigha couldn't help but twist. She laughed and said, "What do you want, hahahaha..."
"Come with me to the Reids. Don't you want to know how the Reid family fell apart?"
Aleigha was stunned for a moment. Then she said with a smile, "Okay. Let me change my clothes."
They went to the Reid Residence. It was a luxurious house that the Reids bought in the boom.
People said it had cost a lot of money.
It was the first time for Aleigha to come here. She was taking Adrian's hand and slowly walking into this house, like the new hostess.
Kendal was packing up her stuff when she heard that Adrian and Aleigha were here. She blanked out for a moment, but still managed to walk out of her room.
She hated Aleigha, but she loved Adrian. She missed Adrian crazy, but she couldn't see him.
Therefore, she had been in a lot of pain.
She even knew that he was responsible for the decline of her family, but she still loved him.
Her elders were sitting on the sofa and sighing. When they saw Adrian, they were so angry that their faces turned red.
One of them got up and swore, "B*stard, even your elders wouldn't push us.
"How could you do that? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Adrian's face was gloomy, but there was a cruel smile on his lips. "Sorry, but I'm not.
"Just because my elders were kind to you doesn't mean I would be kind to you."
The Reids were both furious and helpless. What else could they do?
"Adrian." Kendal stood on the second floor, looking at Adrian. He was still as handsome and imposing as before.
She couldn't help but shed tears. The pain of missing him was killing her.
Adrian, on the other hand, did not even look at her. He hated this woman to the core.
If he kept her, Alegiha could be in danger at any moment.
"Kendal, you cried for him?" Kendal's elders were so angry that Kendal was crying for the guy they hated most.
"Cut the crap. You're not taking anything but your clothes." Adrian's man came in and urged them impatiently.
The Reids still wanted to say something, but it was of no use. They got kicked out while they were calling Adrian names. Kendal walked out of the mansion, and her eyes were stung by the sunshine. Tears came to her eyes again.
The Reids were used to living high off the hog. The humiliation of being thrown out made them even angrier.
Seeing Kendal crying, a man rushed up to her and gave her a slap in the face. "Stop it!
"Who told you to go against Adrian's woman? We are where we are because of you!"
Kendal did not say a word. She just sat on the ground and kept crying.
She also regretted that she didn't kill Aleigha before.
The Reids stood outside the door. They didn't look like they were going to leave.
"What did you do to them? Why are they so down and out?" Aleigha asked out of curiosity. But she didn't feel sorry for them at all.
"There's not a useful person in this family. They were living off their connections to the Xiao family.
"If it weren't for Kendal, I wouldn't have thrown them out so early. You know I don't do bad deals.
"By the

They walked out of the house and saw Kendal sitting on the road, shivering.
She slowly got up and approached them step by step. All of a sudden, there was a silver light flashing.
There was a dagger in her hand and she rushed to Aleigha.
Adrian's face darkened. The next second, Kendal was kicked around the corner like a rubber ball.
Kendal even heard her ribs crack. She was in so much pain that she cried out.
Adrian's men came to her.
"I don't wanna see her again." Adrian said.
His men hurriedly carried Kendal away.
"Are you alright?" Adrian turned around to look at Aleigha, only to find she was smiling.
Aleigha shook her head and said indifferently, "You know what? I'm used to it.
"Even if you weren't here, I wouldn't let her hurt me. I'm not that weak."
Adrian went to his company, and
Aleigha went back to the Xiao
Residence. Sitting on the bed, she was@alculating the Gardner family's fortune.
She saved a lot of it and put the rest into her company. She just wanted to build her own network of connections and intelligence as soon as possible.
Once she made it, she wouldn't have to rely on anyone.
She understood more and more why so many people wanted to be strong.
Only the strong were fearless and needed not hide under the wings of others.
Soon, Aleigha's 20th birthday was coming.
She felt both nervous and lost. She was nervous because Adrian might change after she turned 20.
She felt lost because Adrian was the only one accompanying her. Both her mother and grandaunt had left. No one cheered for her.
It was her birthday. A light rain was falling and the weather was cool.
When Aleigha came back from school and found that Adrian was not at home, she felt depressed.
