"Aleigha, next time you're in danger, I want to be the first to know."
Aleigha nodded. Her heart was filled with warmth. "Didn't I get someone to tell you?"
"You had someone come to me with a note like that? What if it was late? What if that guy didn't tell me?"
The coldness in Adrian's eyes grew. He looked at Aleigha and felt both angry and distressed. Why didn't this woman care about herself?
"They'd know if I called you."
She always thought someone might be listening in on her phone.
Even if she was wrong, she should be careful.
"Give it to me." Adrian stretched out his hand and his face darkened.
Taking her phone, Adrian threw it onto the ground and stomped on it a few times.
"I'll buy you a new one."
He pulled her out of the cafe.
"Adrian, I need to go to the Woods family," Aleigha said as she looked at him with a gentle gaze.
Adrian frowned slightly. He was unhappy about it, but he couldn't stop her. He believed her.
"I'll take you there."
At the Woods Residence.
Samuel was taken into custody by the investigation team from the central government, and the military kept the news under wraps.
However, word got out anyway. To Windy, this was terrible news.
When Aleigha arrived, she found the whole Woods family in silence.
"What's the matter?"
Freddie sighed and looked at Aleigha with a face full of self-blame.
"My father's locked up because of me.
"This was supposed to be top secret, but now everyone knows."
Well, this was unexpected. It turned out that their enemy had military ties, too.
"Aleigha, who do you think has been targeting us? Should I turn to my family?
"Or, the guy behind this wants to destroy my family, too?"
Windy was furious. If she knew who was behind this, she was sure that she would make that person pay the price.
"Is there anything I can do?" Adrian stood next to Aleigha and asked.
His low and deep voice showed that he was angered.
The Woods family had always been low-key. They had military ties, so they wouldn't make enemies with others.
Adrian thought that the guy behind this was not targeting the Woods family but Aleigha.
That guy didn't dare to directly go against her, so he started with the Woods family.
Aleigha was glad that Adrian wanted to help her. However, if he made a move, then whoever was behind this might want to back off.
It would be more difficult for them to know who did this.
"Adrian, I think I can handle it myself." Aleigha looked at Adrian.
There was a confident smile in her eyes.
Adrian looked at her and nodded. A shadow of smile touched his mouth.
After he left, Aleigha's face instantly became serious. "Freddie, I thought of someone.
"He can help us, and he can easily find out who's behind it.
"If I'm right, the Gatess are gonna do something."
Windy and Freddie turned to look at her, their faces full of confusion.
"Let's turn to Jaidyn."
"My cousin? Why? He hasn't been seen for a long time."
Hearing that, Freddie's face was filled with disappointment.
Although Windy didn't know why Aleigha mentioned Jaidyn, she knew Aleigha had her reason.
Therefore, she didn't ask.
