Aleigha did not call Samuel father instead of godfather.
Samuel's face lit up with joy, "Of course no."
Aleigha felt it not true that she should become a goddaughter of Samuel.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Adrian called, and Aleigha had to leave the Woods family now.
Adrian was already waiting outside the Woods' by his car.
Samuel came out to see Aleigha off. Adrian walked forward to greet Samuel instantly.
"He is that kid from the Xiao family?" Samuel looked Adrian up and down.
Then, he realized how naive Freddie was, compared with this Xiao.
The ambition and determination in Adrian's eyes were rare in a young man.
Samuel liked Adrian very much.
"Uncle Woods, nice to meet you," Adrian spoke first when Samuel still sized him up.
Samuel nodded slightly and turned to Aleigha, "Aleigha, you remember one thing."
"From now on, the Woods family are your backers, and you have nothing to fear about."
Aleigha held back her laughter and nodded in agreement.
In the car, the atmosphere was weird.
"Aleigha, the Woods family likes you?" Adrian said with displeasure.
"Yes, that's right. Samuel took me as a goddaughter today," Aleigha said casually but observed Adrian closely.
"Great! The Woods family will save you a lot of trouble.'
The new servants of the Woods family popped up in Aleigha's mind. She frowned slightly and said coldly, "I'm afraid that someone is mess up with the Woods family."
"Are you sure?"
Aleigha nodded and felt bad with this thought.
If it weren't Elimia, who would dare to mess up with the Woods family?
"No one can take advantage of the Woods family. You know that Jaidyn is a member of the Woods family."
What Adrian said didn't convince Aleigha at all, as she knew some secrets that Adrian was kept in the dark from.
In her last life, Windy got burned in a fire, resulting in a disfigured face, and Freddie was pushed down the stairs.
He was disabled and couldn't move from the neck to the toes. The culprit was not found even when Aleigha died.
Aleigha always assumed that Emilia and Lainey were the culprits, and their move was out of jealousy toward Aleigha herself.
With some reflection, Aleigha inclined to think that Emilia and Lainey had no such courage to be against the Woods family.
So, there should be a boss behind the scene, but what did he want?
Aleigha felt agitated for the next few days. The peace of the Woods family disturned Aleigha.
On weekend, Freddie asked Aleigha out for fun, and a strange girl came with Freddie.
Freddie introduced this girl to be the daughter of Windy's business partner. She was 19 years old, and her name was Bria Gates.
Aleigha had no impression of this girl, and Freddie didn't pay much attention to Bria.
Bria was shy but looked at Freddie with burning passion.
They went to watch the movie. After dinner,
Aleigha went home.
Waking up the next morning, Aleigha received a call from Windy, and Adrian was preparing to go to work.
'Aleigha, come to the Feng's."
Before Aleigha could ask a question, Windy hung up the phone.
"Something's wrong." With her phone in the hand, Aleigha looked at Adrian.
Adrian frowned, "I'll take you there."
On the way, Aleigha did not say a word and was thinking all kinds of possibilities.
Arriving at the Woods family, Aleigha saw the door of the courtyard was wide open. There were reporters wandering around, but no one dared to walk in the yard.
Aleigha rushed into the Woods family without waiting for Adrian to get off the car.
