It never occurred to Jasmin that she was not the child of the old couple. Was the gentle mid-aged man really her brother?
She burst into tears.
Aleigha knew how she felt. She must have had a rough couple of years.
Tanner was so grateful to Aleigha that he invited her to stay for dinner.
By the time she got home, it was already late. Adrian was in the study.
After taking a shower, she went to the study.
"I've taken care of the family of Tanner's sister."
"Already? Shouldn't I thank you?" Aleigha saw the documents on his desk and picked them up.
"What, are you going to buy the industries under the Landrys?"
Adrian nodded. "Families are always at war with each other. My family may not approve of this, but I want to try.
"I can do to the Landry family what I did to the Reid family. It's not gonna be hard." "I hope that you can let go of Lennon. After all, he has helped me." Aleigha thought that she owed Lennon.
"Aleigha, I don't like to hear another man's name from you, and you are full of gratitude for him."
Aleigha glanced at Adrian and continued to read the documents.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Adrian reached out and put her on his laps, touching her.
Aleigha patted his hand. "You're not gonna get lucky tonight."
"What if I want to?"
Adrian felt that he was addicted to sex with her. He wanted to sleep with her everyday.
In the end, under Adrian's constant harassment, Aleigha compromised. They had sex all night.
The next day, as soon as Adrian left, Aleigha went to Tanner's place.
There were still a lot of things that needed to be solved.
In order to cheer Jasmin up, Tanner had Aleigha talk to her.
Jasmin was very quiet. Aleigha felt that maybe she was still processing it.
Tanner was loaded and had a lot of connections. When he tried to find his sister but failed, Adrian suggested he ask Aleigha for help.
He'd help Adrian extend his reach into Fripdence if Aleigha made it. Therefore, Aleigha was actually helping Adrian.
Tanner didn't like the name Jasmin Witt. He told his sister that her original name was Emilee Bradshaw.
"Emilee, this is your home now. You don't have to worry about your old brother.
"You can tell me anything you need."
"I want to go to school. I haven't finished my studies yet." Emilee was very cautious and never dared to look Tanner in the eye.
"Good. I can help you."
It was very easy to appease Emilee. Aleigha didn't hate this girl, so she was willing to treat her with sincerity.
In the afternoon, she took Emilee to go shopping. There were no girls who didn't want to look pretty. Emilee was no exception.
When she saw those beautiful clothes, she would stop. But she didn't ask for them.
Aleigha bought everything that Emilee stopped for.
"Miss Gardner, I can't take them. They are a lot."
When the two of them passed by a dessert shop, Aleigha asked if she wanted to have a rest.
"Aleigha, what are you doing here?" Freddie, who had just finished playing basketball with his classmates, was also preparing to buy some desserts.
"I'm shopping with my friend," said Aleigha. She was very polite to Freddie, but she wouldn't cross the line.
For her, Freddie was a family.
"Then let me take you guys home. My driver is over there," Freddie looked at the girl beside Aleigha unconsciously.
He couldn't help feeling a little shocked.
This girl was so beautiful, but her beauty made his heart ache.
