"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.
