"What are you all doing, standing there like a bunch of fools? Take her away. As for you, Raquel, Valentino can talk to my husband himself about all this messed-up incident."
Mrs. Fulton took her daughter out. When they reached the door, she stopped.
She looked back at Aleigha, who was sitting next to Adrian. Her eyes were filled with an inexplicable cold light.
After Mrs. Fulton left, Mrs. Hammond got up, and the female guests also bade farewell to her one by one at the sight of this situation.
Aleigha was quite satisfied with the stun pulled out to sabotage the whole banquet.
"Let's go." Adrian pulled Aleigha and walked out, with Jaidyn following behind.
Mrs. Hammond suddenly leaped up from the ground, as if none had just happened that made her devastated.
"Aleigha, it's you!"
Aleigha turned around inexplicably, and her eyes were full of innocence.
"It's you who hired the reporters. You're the one who exposed everything, aren't you?"
Mrs. Hammond had always believed that Adrian would never do something like confronting a woman. This whole clown's play must have derived from the jealousy of Aleigha.
"Me? I didn't do anything. You were the one doing the dance in this whole show, aren't you?"
"I haven't even Adrian for a whole week, for Chris's sake!"
"How could it be me? Mrs. Hammond, you overestimate me too much."
The three of them left the villa and Jaidyn took his leave. Since the job was done, he was not interested in seeing the two of them sticking to each other.
Returning to the Xiao family, Adrian couldn't wait to carry Aleigha upstairs. He stripped off her gown and pushed her into the bathroom.
In a week, he was almost out of his mind. He dared not to contact her or even show up.
He did all of it for today. Although he didn't know what Mrs. Fulton would do, the result was satisfying enough for him. He didn't want to mess with Valentino at this time.
Because he didn't wanna stir up more waves for the time being.
"Aleigha, when are you going to do something to Valentino?" Adrian gently stroked her perfect collarbone and asked softly.
Aleigha closed her eyes slightly and said slowly, "In these few days, I have to make sure that everything is foolproof."
"Aubrie is sure gonna be dealt with by Mrs. Fulton. And if she doesn't, I'll figure out a way myself."
Adrian chuckled and his hands began to move up and down, causing Aleigha to shudder and giggle.
After the sex they had both longed for, Aleigha fell asleep whereas Adrian went to his study.
Phoenix stood in the study.
"Thank you for your hard work in the past few days. But, be honest with me, are you having any feelings for her as well?"
Adrian sat on the chair and looked at Phoenix.
Phoenix had been following him for more than ten years, and he was loyal to him. Because he had a similar figure to him, they could hardly be told apart from behind.
Therefore, Phoenix helped Adrian take care of a lot of things, and he even saved Adrian several times when he was trapped in danger.
For Adrian, Phoenix was not only his subordinate, but also one of the few brothers that he valued.
"President, don't worry. I'll take care of it."
Phoenix was a man of few words. Adrian had long been accustomed to his silence.
"Phoenix, you've been by my side for many years. You're not young anymore. If you like her, go ahead. You don't have to worry about the Fulton family, as long as Aubrie is willing."
Phoenix looked up at Adrian, his eyes glinting with an unknown light. After a long while, he said,
"Thank you, President."
Three days later, New Year's Eve.
The Xiao Family began to liven up. The elders of the Xiao family all gathered at the house. Darien also came back with his father.
As their newlywed daughter-in-law, Aleigha took care of the family dinner party.
And Adrian, out of the blue, was there to help her with it.
