"You mean Adrian acknowledges me but you don't?"
Looking at the wrinkled face of Sofia, Aleigha turned cold on the face and in her heart.
"Miss Gardner, what's wrong with you? Why do you ask such an obvious question?"
Sofia looked sharp with bright piercing eyes.
"Sofia, I think you should enjoy your rest days."
"What do you mean?"
"One should retire when he is old."
"Adrian likes you, so I tolerate you. However, you bring no peace to this house."
"The old Xiaos let you alone, but I can't. Will you stop only when Adrian dies for you?"
Sofia got recruited to serve here for more than two years. She behaved herself when facing Aleigha.
It was not easy for Aleigha to trust others. Because of Adrian, she tried to trust Sofia but always respected her.
However, Sofia went against Aleigha recently.
She lied about the injured stranger and mystified the knocks on the window. Aleigha was afraid that the indulgence in Sofia might result in something terrible.
Sitting on the sofa, Aleigha raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Please tell me, how will I kill Adrian?"
"Humph, you don't know yourself? People in town know how cold Adrian is, but he is bewitched by you!"
"Young and ambitious, you are greedy to covet more than a Mrs. Xiao."
"You look coquettish whenever that Galloway shows up. Don't you have an affair?"
"Adrian is blinded by so-called love, but I have a clear mind."
"So, you're admitting that you are behind those farces?"
Sofia was taken by surprise. Then she shot a squint at Aleigha, "So what?"
"When you were away in Australia, a Faukner looked for you here. To be honest, don't you know him?"
"So, it is you who told Maurice about our whereabouts?"
"It's me!"
Aleigha became grim and sneered, "Sofia, you know what, Adrian and I almost died in Australia because of your groundless imagination."
"No way!"
Sofia was stunned.
"No way? Well, well, a thief from within is hard to guard against. You yourself explain to Adrian."
Aleigha stood up angrily and threw the phone on the table. The phone was through.
"Sofia, I will send someone to escort you back tomorrow."
"Adrian, listen to me. I know nothing. I don't know anything."
Sofia was panicked. She rushed to the table, held the phone in her hands, and shouted at it.
"Sofia, I'm disappointed."
After saying that, Adrian hung up the phone.
Sofia was dumbfounded for a while. Then, she straightened up with a tremble.
Pointing one finger at Aleigha, Sofia yelled madly, "B*tch, you set me up?"
"Sofia, we don't blame you for putting us in danger accidentally, as you didn't mean that. If you don't like me, why don't you be frank? Those tricks are ridiculous."
Sofia was trembling with anger, but there was no way out for her.
"Miss Gardner, Sofia's daughter was yesterday."
Sensitive about that Sofia fell into disgrace, one maid changed her position and told on Sofia.
"Shut up!" Sofia glared at the maid.
Aleigha smiled and said, "Go on."
"I learned that by accident. Sofia's little daughter just graduated and is looking for jobs."
"She would like to work in Mr. Xiao's company, but
Sofia was afraid that you won't agree."
The maid stopped here and glanced at Aleigha.
