The reason why he didn't take action for a long time was just that he wanted Aleigha to get stronger herself.
She had to be strong in the face of these people who were vicious animals so Adrian had agreed to let her take charge.
However, it didn't mean that Adrian couldn't make them disappear.
Aubrie's figure swayed. It was obvious that she was afraid. She knew even better than Aleigha what kind of person Adrian was.
Biting her lips, her unwillingness was written all over her face. Again and again, she took the initiative to approach Adrian but was regarded as an insignificant worm by him.
She just didn't want to give up. Why Aleigha, why that b*tch?
"You are still here?" Adrian's tone was getting lower and lower. It was obvious that he was angry.
Aubrie swallowed a mouthful of saliva and turned to leave hastily. The sound of her high heels' clattering disappeared from the restaurant, and Adrian's face softened.
After the meal, Aleigha stroked her full stomach with a satisfied look on her face.
Compared with her last life, where she was constantly starving and being tortured, what she had now was way too much better.
Sometimes, she would think that it was not true. Everything could just turn into ashes blown into the wind the second she woke up from the dream.
"You said you wanna try the gun, right? Let's go. I got time for it today."
When Aleigha went to the bathroom, Adrian had already arranged everything at the shooting range.
Adrian owned a range that he bought a couple of years ago. He would come here to practice now and then.
Aleigha was very interested in shooting because of the gun given to him by Freddie and she mentioned it with Adrian.
They drove to the shooting range and passed by a bustling commercial street on the way.
What, out of the blue, came into their view were Caroline and her mother, roaming aimlessly on the street.
"In fact, you can help them a little bit. After all, they are members of the Xiao family."
Aleigha knew the taste of destitution, and when she saw the appearance of the two of them, she couldn't help but feel a little pity.
"What good will come out of helping to vicious, ungrateful snakes?"
Aleigha pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Adrian was right. If she helped the snakes, she would only end up tending her wounds bitten by the snakes.
The shooting range was cleared out, and the waiter left as soon as he prepared everything needed, leaving only Adrian and Aleigha in there.
Aleigha wasn't very good at shooting, so she was held by Adrian from behind, holding her hand, and teaching her hand by hand.
Aleigha learned it all very fast. Before too many rounds, she could already hit the bullseye without too much effort.
Adrian naturally praised her very much. He was indeed right about his little girl's ability.
After the shooting, the two men drove home. In the morning, the fresh ingredients transported from France had been ready.
Adrian prepared to go home to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Aleigha.
As soon as the car stopped outside the Xiao family's door, Aleigha got off first.
Suddenly, a figure popped out from nowhere and directly knocked Aleigha into the air.
The wound after the car accident had not completely recovered. The fall made her tears flow out of her eyes, straining to get up from the ground yet failed.
When Adrian got out of the car, he heard a muffled sound. Without thinking too much, he rushed over and saw Aleigha lying on the ground.
In the dark, a black shadow rushed over faster than him, sat on Aleigha's body, and was about to hit Aleigha.
Adrian's eyes seemed to burn with fire. He strode forward, reached out his hand and pulled up the person on Aleigha's body, and threw the person away.
With a low groan, the figure fell heavily on the cobblestone path.
"Ah, murder! Murder." Caroline's mother came out of nowhere and rushed to the person on the ground, screaming and screeching.
Adrian helped Aleigha, who had fallen to the ground, to her feet. His ice-cold face was filled with a thick hostility.
But he comforted Aleigha in a soft voice, "Aleigha, go in."
