"There are conditions. I'm gonna leave this all up to you. When you go to South Africa, find me that blue diamond."
"The blue diamond that Henry II of England left in South Africa? You're giving me a great job.
"I knew you wouldn't be so generous."
"You can quit if you want. I can work with someone else. You're not my only option."
"You..."
Adrian knew what kind of person Jaidyn was. He would never say no to money.
"When should I set off?"
"It's up to you. Come to my company tomorrow, and I'll give something to you."
After leaving Jaidyn's place, Adrian decided to have someone look into Kianna.
On second thought, he gave up. Jaidyn was not a fool. He must have done it before.
Otherwise, why would he let her stay at his house?
Thinking of this, Adrian relaxed. He knew that Jaidyn had a thing for Aleigha.
With Kianna around, sooner or later he would get over Aleigha.
As Adrian drove home, he saw three furtive figures outside his house.
He parked his car and got out, only to see Samantha walk to him.
"Adrian... Adrian..."
Samantha looked at Adrian with an odd, dreamy smile on her face.
Adrian frowned and said coldly. "I don't like to take things too far.
"You used to be Aleigha's family, so I forgave you for sticking around outside my house.
"But if I see you again, you're never coming to this city again."
"Adrian, I..."
Samantha looked at Adrian like a frightened bird. Her usual arrogance was gone.
Adrian turned around and walked into his house without looking back.
There was a heavy rain at night. Perla and her kids spent the night at an ATM room down the street.
When she woke up in the morning, she found Samantha was gone.
Perla thought Samantha was wandering around, so she didn't think too much about it. She went to the Xiao Residence again with Sean.
They watched Adrian drive away. Half an hour later, Aleigha's car showed up.
They rushed to her in a hurry.
Perla couldn't wait any longer.
Aleigha saw them from afar and rolled down the car window.
"Wait for me at this restaurant this afternoon."
Throwing out a note, Aleigha left in a hurry. She didn't want to see Perla's annoying face.
Holding the note, Perla almost screamed out of excitement. She decided to go to the restaurant now.
It was because they couldn't afford to take a cab. The only money she had left was to buy Sean food.
As for Samantha, Perla did not have time to look for her.
At lunchtime, Aleigha excused herself from visiting Emilee and went straight to the police station.
Coincidentally, she came across the policeman she knew, Arthur Maddox.
Perla and Sean walked all morning and finally arrived at the restaurant at one o'clock in the afternoon. They didn't dare to get in.
Tired and hungry, they sat outside the restaurant.
Aleigha arrived at past two o'clock. She took one look at the two discombobulated people and went into the restaurant.
Perla and Sean followed her in.
"Order whatever you want." Aleigha hated them to the core. All she wanted was to get that bracelet back.
