Aleigha was slightly startled.
Immediately, she smiled and said, "Godmother, I had a misunderstanding with him. It's not a big deal. Don't worry."
Windy didn't buy it. Her face was full of worry. "You don't know Jaidyn."
"He didn't talk much, but no one knew what he was thinking. Now that you are with Adrian, stay away from him."
Aleigha understood what Windy meant and nodded. "I will. I know what I'm doing."
Windy breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't think your godfather was just talking about Aubrie.
"The Fulton family's not powerful in City A, but Aubrie has a great uncle.
"He's the sworn enemy of your godfather. I've been thinking about it for a long time.
"Maybe the Fulton family is responsible for all the trouble we'd been in before. I know that Aubrie wouldn't get any benefit from Jaidyn.
"Still, you have to be careful. She is a smart woman and has something to do with the Xiao family. I'm afraid you'd get hurt."
Aleigha's eyes flashed. She agreed with Windy. "I know what to do.
"According to you, we can't deal with her uncle right now. But that doesn't mean we're gonna lose.
"Well, we'll just have to take it one step at a time."
Aleigha didn't say exactly what was on her mind.
She would not see the Fultons as enemies, as long as they didn't target the Woods family and Adrian.
However, if Aubrie kept going against her, she wouldn't show any mercy.
She didn't kill Aubrie this time, so maybe next time she would.
Samuel offered to send Aleigha to the Xiao Residence.
On the way.
"Aleigha, thank you for everything.
"We've had too many easy years, so we had no idea anyone would come after us.
"I can't believe even the Gerald family would dare to go against us. I've been thinking about it a lot.
"It's time to use my influence in City A. I seldom come back.
"Your godmother is hot-tempered, so is Freddie. I guess you're the best candidate." Aleigha knew a little about the power of the Woods family, but she didn't know the details. Rumor had it that this family had terrorized many others.
"Me?" Aleigha was flattered.
Samuel nodded. "I've been in the army a lot, but I have some influence in this city.
"It involves a lot of people.
"They have been hidden in the dark. This incident upsets me, so I don;t want to be passive anymore.
"Will you take care of these people for me, protect the Woods family and yourself?"
Aleigha nodded. "Godfather, I don't know if I can make it, but I want to try."
Samuel looked at her with approval. "Try it. I believe you. Come home in the morning. I’ll give you something."
This night, Aleigha couldn't sleep. Even though Adrian was holding her in his arms, she didn't feel sleepy at all.
Early the next morning, Aleigha went to the Woods Residence. Samuel handed her a huge envelope with a lot of things in it.
She found the envelope unusually heavy. She didn't even go to school and went straight back to the Xiao Residence.
