Chapter 1193
Aleigha found it ridiculous. The so-called cousin of hers was a notorious playgirl at a local vocational school.
From which she dropped out before hanging out all day with the thugs in the town.
She would be delirious if she were to bring back a snake with her.
"Really? Still riding on that high horse of yours? Do you think I'm still the innocent little girl back then?"
Aleigha looked back at Perla with a cold light flashing in her eyes.
Perla's body trembled, and the look in Aleigha's eyes made her feel scared.
"Think you've toughed up, don't you?" Perla's face was ferocious.
For her, a virago, dealing with such a chick was no big deal, even if it were to get physical.
Aleigha sneered and didn't say anything. She lifted the curtain and walked out.
Seeing her come out, Graham threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, stood up, and said, "Aleigha, why did you come back?"
It seemed that her uncle didn't know what had happened before.
"Uncle, I came back to find out how my mother died. My aunt knows that, but she won't tell."
Aleigha had no intentions of keeping it a secret.
Hearing this, Graham's drooping eyes suddenly bulged in anger. "What did you say? She's got something to do with my sister's death?" Aleigha nodded lightly.
"Perla, get your fat a*s out here before I drag you!" This was the first time Graham revealed his anger.
With a furious roar, he lifted the hoe beside him and rushed into the house.
Perla heard the voice and came out. When she was about to swear, Graham's hoe had fallen down. Seeing that it was about to hit on Perla's head, Aleigha stepped forward in a hurry and pushed him. The hoe fell. Although it did not hit Perla's head, it still hit her foot.
"Ah, you d*mned f*ckhead!" A mournful and shrill scream resounded throughout the entire village.
Sean stopped playing the console in his hand and looked over before dropping his head back down again.
"You f*cking ungrateful b*tch! How DARE you have done that to my sister! I'll f*cking tear you to pieces, you c*nt!"
Graham raised the hoe and was about to hit again.
"It ain't me, it ain't me. It's someone from the Gardner family who poisoned your sister." Perla was usually arrogant and domineering.
However, she was now flinching on the ground, shrinking like a ball of fur.
When Aleigha heard this, the sourness in her heart had long been covered by the monstrous hatred.
"The Gardner family? Marcos Gardner?" Graham's face covered in tears, and the hoe he raised fell to the ground feebly.
A tough and rough farmer, who had not even cried for once throughout his life, was now shedding tears nonstop.
"It's that woman from the Gardner family. Her name is, Laindy or something." Perla looked at Graham as he threw his hoe away. Only then did her hanging heart relax. "Lainey!"
Aleigha gnashed her teeth and said this name with hatred.
"Yes, that's the name. Your mother was summoned by her and I was with her. Not half-day later she was sent to the hospital."
"I went to the bathroom and heard the conversation between that Lainly and her daughter."
"They saw me coming out and recognized me so they gave me some money to keep my mouth shut."
I, I took the money, and I didn't say anything about it."
"How much did they give you?"
Aleigha wanted to know how much Lainey gave Perla, asking her to sell her husband's sister out. "Twenty... twenty grand..."
Twenty grand?
Aleigha felt ridiculed by the fact that her mother died for nothing because of twenty grand.
She couldn't believe that the price for murder was that low.
And what she couldn't believe more was how she was bullied by the two of them later.
"Good, very good."
She would not let go of Lainey and her daughter, neither Perla.
"Uncle, I'm leaving."
Graham was crying so hard that he could not speak. He got up and pulled Aleigha. "Aleigha, it's my fault.
"I... I'm such a dumb f*ck to have lived with this snake who had murdered my sister!"
"A snake! That's what she is! A disgusting, despicable snake!"
Aleigha's eyes were slightly red. She gently patted Graham's shoulder and said, "Uncle, it's not your fault."
"It's her fate. Now, take care of yourself and I won't be coming around ever again."
After leaving the Mccall family, Aleigha took a car to the county and then took the train back to school.
By the time she returned to school, it was already the next morning. She was famished and exhausted after running on an empty stomach for a whole day.
She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
When she woke up again, it was already the early morning of the next day.
When she turned on her phone, she found almost a hundred missed calls from Adrian.
She called Adrian but after it was connected, Adrian didn't make a single sound.
"I went back to my hometown to deal with something."
Adrian remained silent. Aleigha knew that he was angry.
After a moment of silence, he hung up the phone.
After breakfast, she went to class. Before she entered the classroom, the phone rang. It was a strange call.
"Aleigha, your uncle, your uncle is dead."
Perla burst into tears on the phone. Aleigha listened and silently hung up the phone.
Perhaps at this time, this woman finally knew what she had lost.
After much hesitation, Aleigha asked for leave from the university and informed the Gardner family.
Dustin immediately sent someone to drive Aleigha back to the countryside.
The Gardner family yet again displayed how extravagant it could be in everything. Seeing the coming people, Perla straightened herself up arrogantly.
She didn't even bother herself with the funeral but went on and on about how great and powerful the Gardner family was.
And that was only because she had her own little plan going on inside her head.
Three days later, Graham was buried at the foot of the mountain, buried in the Mccall family graveyard.
Aleigha didn't shed a single drop of her tears for her uncle.
After the funeral, when Aleigha was about to leave, Perla made a fuss. She would not stop for a second before Aleigha agreed to take them all back to the city to live with her. Aleigha refused, so Perla asked the elders in the village to lobby her. In the end, Aleigha only agreed to take her cousin Samantha back with her.
Before leaving, Perla repeatedly told her daughter that her one and only goal when she got to the city was to hook up with a rich dude.
Of course, Aleigha knew that she had brought back a snake, but she had her own plans.
Samantha was rebellious, not like Sean who was practically a retard. She knew what it meant to go back with Aleigha.
It had been her dream to go to a big metropolis.
Along the way, Samantha was well-behaved and sensible, and she was particularly ingratiating with Aleigha.
When they arrived at the Gardner family, Samantha was stunned.
The house was not quite big, with only three floors. But the servants in it were all dressed better than her.
Looking at the dirty and ragged clothes on her, she felt a burning sensation on her face.
A sense of shame that she had never felt before struck terror into her heart.
"Come on, poor girl, I've heard all about you from Aleigha. From now on, this will be your home."
"Don't hesitate to tell me whatever it is you need."
Charlotte looked kind and had a kind heart. Naturally, she would not know that Samantha was a snake whose fangs had been pulled out.
When they grew back out, however, she would reveal her true colors.
Yet since Aleigha let her come along, she surely had her own plan.
