Aleigha and Emilia had been contending with each other since the minute Aleigha walked into this house.
But this time, Aleigha was not going to be pushed around like a hapless coward.
Disguise was necessary, especially when she was tackling such cunning people.
Aleigha didn't answer Emilia but cried louder.
And her cry attracted the attention of those downstairs.
"What the hell is going on?" Dustin roared irritatedly.
This was exactly what Aleigha wanted.
The two of them came to the hall, standing in front of Dustin.
Emilia looked very nervous. The angry Dustin always appalled her even though he was usually a caring grandfather.
Everyone's eyes fell on Aleigha.
"Grandpa, please help me."
Aleigha dropped down to her knees and pleaded.
The sharp pain from both knees stimulated more
tears in her eyes.
"Stop crying. What's it?" Dustin asked.
Aleigha leaned lightly against Dustin's leg and twitched a little. Then she started, "Someone has taken my college acceptance letter."
Emilia's face turned pale immediately.
"Why did you say that?"
Dustin solemnly glanced at everyone at present.
"I should have received it long ago so I checked online and found it had been signed for."
Aleigha sniffled and wiped her tears.
"Somebody must have taken it," she concluded firmly.
Aleigha was choked with sobs and stole a glance at everyone around her.
"Someone, go check the monitoring footage."
Dustin ordered the servants with a straight face.
Emilia was about to say something, but Lainey glared at her so she bit it back.
About ten minutes later, a servant came back.
"Sir, we've found it."
Thereupon, Dustin rose to his feet and walked into the monitoring room.
The rest of them waited in the hall anxiously.
When Dustin came out, he looked at Emilia, very disappointed.
"I shouldn't have spoiled you. How could you do that? Return it back now!"
Emilia was aghast and explained hurriedly, "I didn't take anything. It was my acceptance letter."
Aleigha raised her eyebrows slightly.
