Lainey left the detention center and did not dare to go home for a long time.
The whole Gardner family knew that she had been released, but none of them even mentioned about bringing her back home.
Emilia was depressed all day with a morose expression on her face, not talking to anyone anytime.
Yet her state of mind and the fact that Lainey was away gave the Gardner ten days of rare peace.
That afternoon, when Aleigha was about to go to the library after her last session, her phone rang.
This was the first time Adrian had called her after the release of the latest product issue conference. "If I don't call you, will you never take the initiative to contact me?"
Before Aleigha could say anything, Adrian already burst out roaring.
Aleigha put the phone away from her ear and began to think about how to brush him off.
"My uncle passed away some time ago, I was caught up with that." Aleigha thought that this was the only excuse that he could not refute.
Sure enough, Adrian pondered for a moment after hearing this. "Why didn't you tell me when something like this happened?
"Do you know how much I'm worried about you?"
"I'm fine, aren't I? Why'd you call?" Aleigha was a little timid talking to him but she could hear that Adrian's tone had calmed down significantly.
"We are only getting busier and busier after the product lunch. The sales are not gonna be a problem. I'm thinking about getting the company listed next month."
Aleigha was stunned. She looked at the date on her mobile phone and then breathed a sigh of relief. The release of the product was a little later than before, but this did not delay Adrian's company's listing.
However, she was a bit surprised that neither the Landry family nor Darian had yet to make any move.
"I don't think that's something I'd be able to help with. Anything else?"
Adrian was so angry that he almost vomited a mouthful of blood. "Lome to the company tonight."
He almost roared and finished talking, then hung up the phone.
Aleigha sighed. "When can this dude just chill out
for a bit?"
She was in no mood to read, so she could only pack up and go back to the Gardner family.
Except for Emilia, everyone else in the family had gone out. Aleigha tried not to disturb that person as much as possible and sneaked back to her room.
Just as she was about to change her clothes and take a shower, she heard the sounds of fine footsteps at the door.
Aleigha went to the side of the door alertly and listened carefully with her face against the door.
"Emilia, I'm going away for a while. Your father is angry enough now for what had happened."
"If I appear at this time, he can literally have someone to strangle me."
Emilia sobbed in a low voice and judging by the sound of it, she was holding Lainey by the arm, reluctant to let her go. She kept on sobbing and moaned intermittently, "Mom, I can't take it anymore."
"I can't take it anymore with this family. Take me with you, I beg of you!"
"Silly child, have you forgotten that you still need to marry Adrian? Listen to me, take good care of yourself."
"When I come back, I will definitely marry you to Adrian."
How could she be so calm and be sure that she'd marry Adrian?
Aleigha thought about it carefully and concluded that even if Lainey did leave, she'd still cause a whole series of problems.
When the two people outside the door left, Aleigha thought for a while and this time she contacted Freddie.
And she asked him to meet after lunch at the school library.
Aleigha dressed up and went to the library. She didn't expect Freddie to already be there.
"Aleigha, what can I do for you?" This was the first time that Aleigha took the initiative to contact Freddie.
He was a little excited.
"I know you have been surrounded by people who have been secretly protecting you. I want to use two of them."
Aleigha went straight to the point. At this time, she needed help, but she could not trouble Lennon again and again.
"That's easy. Here's a number and whenever you need someone to do something for you, just dial
it."
