Chapter 1167
The Woods family itself was rich and powerful. The only problem was that Windy was too protective of her son.
Maybe she just didn't want her son to lose his innocence.
"Windy Woods?" Marcos had been in business for so many years, of course he knew Windy.
Only then did he realize that Freddie was just like the male version of Windy.
Windy walked up to Freddie and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze. After a moment, she suddenly raised her hand and pinched his cheek with a smile. "That's my boy."
Freddie blushed and hurriedly dodged. "Mom, Mom, stop. We're not at home!"
Aleigha couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Windy had not changed at all. She always treated her son as a five-year-old child.
In her eyes, Freddie was Peter Pan.
"Mrs. Woods, what- what are you doing here?" Marcos put on a humble and flattering look. Aleigha looked at him and felt sick.
Windy glared at Marcos before turning to look at
Charlotte. "Nice to meet you, Charlotte. How are you?"
Charlotte slightly frowned, seeming to recall who the graceful and beautiful lady was.
"Did you forget me? Seven years ago, the Woods family held an auction, and you bought a ruby ring. I was the owner of the ruby ring." When Charlotte heard that, it all clicked. She took Aleigha's hand and went up. "Aleigha, this is Mrs. Windy Woods. Say hi to her."
Aleigha smiled and looked at Windy with great respect. "Hello, Mrs. Woods. I'm Aleigha Gardner."
"Mom, I thought you didn't know them." Seeing that Windy knew Aleigha's family, Freddie laughed like a child.
Aleigha sighed in her heart. The time had come.
"Mrs. Woods, I'm sorry..."
"Mr. Gardner, I don't want to hear your explanation. I'll always remember what you said about my son."
Windy impatiently interrupted Marcos. Her eyes turned from kind to cold and sharp when she looked at him.
Marcos was sweating all over. If he offended the Xiao family, his elders would take care of it.
However, if he offended the Woods family, he was doomed. Marcos was really desperate. He didn't want to die yet!
The Woods family was a bit different from the other big families. It had deep ties to the military and the government. The Gardner family was nothing compared to it.
Windy seemed to like Charlotte very much because of what happened seven years ago. And her son had some connection with Aleigha.
Crap... Marcos's anger was gone in an instant, and the way he looked at Aleigha became very complicated.
Although Emilia didn't know how powerful the Woods family was, she had seen Windy in fashion magazines and financial news a lot.
Therefore, when Windy appeared, she suddenly realized that the handsome guy who was crazy about with Aleigha was actually from the Woods family!
Anger and jealousy instantly swept over Emilia. Why did everything good happen to Aleigha?
She got engaged to Adrian and made Freddie fall in love with her! Why? She didn't deserve them!
"Is the patient's family here?" The door of the emergency room was opened at this time. A nurse poked her head out.
Marcos hurried forward and said, "I am her husband." "Oh, she's just a little anemic. It's not a big deal. You can take her home now."
What? Aemic?
Emilia stood at the side, her eyes completely blank. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Is her child okay?" Aleigha asked on purpose.
"Child? What child?" The nurse was confused.
Even though Marcos was not smart, he realized what was going on. His handsome face was filled with embarrassment.
Upon seeing that, Aleigha almost laughed out.
"Hey, where's your son? Marcos, ask your wife where your son is and if he's fine."
Charlotte laughed at Marcos while pushing him forward. It was really funny.
The point was, Marcos offended Freddie and Windy for something that didn't even exist. What a hard day for him!
Aleigha had a brainwave. She looked at Windy and said, "Mrs. Woods, it's very late. I'm a little worried about my grandaunt driving home. Can you give her a ride?"
"Of course. I just want to talk to her. Freddie, you stay here with Miss Gardner. You don't have to go home tonight."
What did Windy mean by that? Was she implying something? Aleigha was speechless.
"Mom, bye." Freddie could not wait for his mom to get out of here.
Charlotte didn't want to leave, but Aleigha asked her to. In the end, she left with Windy.
Seeing that, Marcos left, too. He didn't say anything to Lainey or Emilia.
Emilia stood still and thought anxiously, "It's over. The plan doesn't work."
Aleigha knew that Marcos didn't dare to do anything here because of Freddie. But just because he was gone didn't mean he would let go of Lainey and Emilia. Things were getting funnier.
While Aleigha was thinking, the emergency room's door was opened again. Lainey walked out step by step. She looked at Aleigha with deep eyes.
"Mom, what should we do?" Emilia rushed up to Lainey and her tears fell down instantly. She had been holding them back because she didn't want to annoy Marcos.
Lainey looked at Emilia and then looked at Aleigha. She smiled and comforted Emilia, "What are you afraid of? Stop crying. Don't let them laugh at us."
Wow! Aleigha even wanted to applaud for her.
"Mom, Dad knows everything."
Lainey showed a bitter smile. "So what? Will him drive us out? Even if he's gonna divorce me, I will take away half of his property.
"He won't do it. Don't worry."
Even Lainey said so, she was not sure what Marcos would do to them.
Aleigha shrugged and smiled at Lainey innocently. "Since you're fine, I'm gonna go."
Freddie followed her away. They got into the car and went to the Gardener Residence.
On the way, Freddie had wanted to ask Aleigha something, but he didn't.
