"Aleigha, how could you be so cruel?"
"I'm not being cruel, it's just that I don't wanna be charging into a known death trap for your daughter."
"And this is a country of rule of law, I think you, of all people, should know what your daughter has or has not done."
"The only reason you are asking me to do this is that you want me to take the fall for your daughter."
"I'm not the same stupid girl I used to be any more so you might as well save your time and work on something more solid to get your daughter out of this."
As soon as she finished speaking, Aleigha turned around and went into the room, slamming the door shut.
After lunch, Aubrie's mother came again, but Aleigha simply shut her door and refused to see her.
In the afternoon, the police had gathered enough evidence, and the poison was indeed brought by Aubrie.
As to where the evidence came from, no one knew.
In the evening, Aleigha and Adrian returned home by their private jet.
After two days of jet lag, news about what happened during the party broke loose in City A in no time.
When the semester was about to begin, Aleigha's company had received two contracts that were worth a lot.
One was from the Empire Group and the other from a company in Country I.
At the same time, there was a major fire in a factory that was owned by Adrian abroad.
The factory, which cost more than hundreds of millions of dollars, was burned flat to the ground overnight. The project that was relevant to it also came to a halt.
Adrian left to deal with it, yet something happened back in the headquarters while he was absent.
On this day, when Aleigha came back from the company, Phoenix told her about Adrian's company.
They had lost quite a few projects, causing them to suffer grave setbacks.
Adrian was kept abroad so Aleigha had to deal with it herself. Yet instead of going back to the company immediately, she took a trip to the Empire Group.
Jaidyn just came back from abroad. Before he took the time to go home, he found Aleigha sitting charmingly in his office.
"Hi, Mr. Galloway, long time no see."
Jaidyn's eyebrows twisted and his head began to ache. He sat down on the chair and said, "Well, there must be a pretty good reason you are here, little jinx."
"You are indeed perceptive. I've always known you are so."
"Well, what I want is for you to go to Adrian's company with me and blow some whispers into some people's ears."
"Whispers as in?"
"As in the company's impending downfall and your potential willingness to buy the company off."
"The maybe throw in a little bit description about how the company had lost billions and billions of dollars in the previous projects."
"And aside from that, you can tell a few people there about how Adrian won't be able to pay off his mortgage even if he sells all his houses."
Upon hearing this, Jaidyn looked at Aleigha and remained silent for a while. He had heard about what had happened recently.
But judging from the things he'd heard, it could in no way mean total destruction to Adrian's company, unless somebody was being naughty.
And the trick Aleigha proposed must have her own scheming in it.
"And why do I smell the good of cunning of yours here?"
Aleigha smiled lightly and said nothing. She made a hush gesture and blinked her beautiful eyes.
"Tomorrow is a good day. Why don't you make your visit tomorrow? I'll be waiting."
Stepping out of the company building, Aleigha went to Adrian's company.
Sure enough, without the leader, the whole company was in a desperate air.
When the secretary caught a glimpse of Aleigha, she hurriedly rushed forward, saying, "When Mr. Xiao left, he said that you shall be fully in charge of some of the documents."
After taking over the documents, Aleigha looked at them carefully and immediately said with a smile, "Let these people come over. I'll listen to their opinions."
