Chapter 1159
Before Aleigha got up, Adrian leaned over and picked her up.
She had been curled up for so long that half of her body was numb.
Seeing this, the security guard wondered, "Who on earth is this girl?"
When Adrian passed by the security guard with Aleigha in his arms, he suddenly stopped and said with a cold face. "You're fired."
"Adrian, don't fire him! He didn't stop me. I didn't want to interrupt your meeting."
Although the security guard was a bit straightforward, she did not think he was wrong. After all, there were too many women who wanted to approach Adrian.
"Fine." Adrian looked at her dotingly and walked into the elevator.
"Adrian, Darien has something to do with the Landry family." As soon as they entered the elevator, Aleigha told him this news.
Adrian frowned. Apparently, he was a bit shocked.
"The Landry family? Why would Darien work with the Landry family?"
Aleigha pursed her lips and thought for a moment. "Maybe the Landry family has developed the same project as yours?"
"That's impossible. I know them well. Lennon may be capable, but there's no way he could have done what I did."
As the elevator opened, they saw Aubrie. Seeing them, Aubrie was stunned at first, and then her eyes dimmed.
"Adrian, aren't we going to have dinner?" Aubrie asked softly, suppressing her jealousy.
"I'm sorry, I changed my mind." Adrian walked out of the elevator with Aleigha in his arms. Suddenly, he stopped and turned to look at Aubrie. Aubrie immediately put on a smile.
"Don't use my elevator again. There is a public elevator over there."
Aubrie stood upright, watching Adrian leave with Aleigha. She clenched her lower lip to calm herself down.
Aleigha was really curious why Aubrie was here. However, she felt reluctant to ask.
"Her company has a foreign technology that we don't have at home. Her boss wants to work with me, so here she is."
Adrian read her mind at a glance. He answered her question with a secret joy.
"I see." Aleigha lightly pursed her lips. His answer made her feel better.
Adrian put her in his lounge and hurried off to the conference room. From time to time, he would send her a message.
It was too late, and there was a curfew in the dorms. Aleigha told Natasha that she would go home tonight.
She took a nap before, so she was in good spirits. Picking up her purse, she decided to go home.
It was about 10 p.m. Maybe her family were still having fun at some party.
She sent a message to Adrian and left in a hurry, for fear that he would offer to take her home.
She didn't want to tell him who she was yet.
At the Gardner Residence. Charlotte was watching TV alone in the living room. Dustin had already fallen asleep.
The others didn't come back.
Aleigha opened the door. As soon as she saw Charlotte, she walked to her with a smile.
"Grandaunt, why haven't you slept yet?"
"Aleigha? What brings you back? Did something happen to you?"
Aleigha shallowly shook and waved her hand. "Nothing. I was out late with my classmates and couldn't go back to school."
"I see. Have you had dinner? Do you need a late supper?" Charlotte said as she was about to get up.
Aleigha hurriedly stepped forward and held her up. "I'm good."
"Oh, then go to bed. It's good for your skin."
Aleigha nodded. "Okay. Good night."
She went upstairs, took a shower, and lay in bed checking the calendar.
It was almost October, and she became busy with her studies.
Because of the rape thing, Emilia kept a low profile in school, and rarely messed with her.
Aleigha would returned to the Gardner family at weekends. For the sake of Dustin and Charlotte, no one dared to make things difficult for her.
It was Saturday. When Aleigha returned to the Gardner family, she was surprised to find that Dustin went out.
She went back to her room silently and changed her clothes. When she was about to take a shower, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps. She walked to the door out of curiosity and
listened quietly.
"Mom, what should I do? We can't let Dad and Grandpa know about this. What should I do?"
It was Emilia.
"Shut up! Let me think." The other one was Lainey.
Aleigha frowned slightly and pressed her lips together. In order not to alert them, she didn't dare to move.
"Mom, it's too disgusting! I feel sick at the thought of it. Help me, help me!"
Emilia lowered her voice, but she still couldn't hide her fear.
"Let's talk inside."
Lainey looked around warily and pulled Emilia into the room, for fear that their conversation would be overheard.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Aleigha opened the door a crack, and walked out after making sure there was no one around.
She crept to the door of Emilia's room and listened carefully. Emilia seemed to be sobbing, and Lainey was comforting her in a low voice.
It was been almost a month since the rape. Why would Emilia suddenly mention it again? And she seemed to be devastated.
Was she...
"I'm gonna have an abortion!" Emilia said in a resolute manner.
"What? Do you want the whole world to know that you are pregnant? You think you're not humiliated enough?"
Lainey scolded her in exasperation.
The corners of Aleigha's lips curled up into a cold smile. Pregnant? Things seemed to be going better than she planned.
"But it's too disgusting. I don't want this child. Mom, I'd rather die.. Um..."
Before Emilia finished her words, Lainey had covered her mouth.
"Listen, don't tell anyone about this, including your dad and grandpa.
"If they find out, you're doomed."
Lainey said with hatred.
Aleigha shrugged and turned to leave.
There was no need for her to continue eavesdropping. She needed to adjust her plan.
She didn't go downstairs for dinner. Judging from the way Lainey and Emilia shouted at the servants, they had a very bad meal.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, Marcos came back with Dustin and Charlotte.
They were talking and laughing, as if they had met with something happy.
Hearing this, Aleigha opened the door and went out of her room.
