Aleigha didn't sleep for a whole night. At this moment, she was so sleepy that her eyelids were twitching. After washing up, she fell asleep on the bed.
Adrian rested at home for three days before he gathered himself and went to work in the study room.
On the way back from the company, Aleigha learned that Valentino had been put under monitoring.
The news came at the right time. All she had to do was waiting for the news about the decision from Fripdence.
In the evening, Woods called. Adrian didn't go with them because he was still recovering from his injuries.
When Aleigha arrived at the Woods family, Woods handed a document to her.
"Aleigha, we just received words from Fripdence. Alexzander was reported by an anonymous tip."
"And after investigation, this so-called anonymous tip came from Valentino. What a load!"
Aleigha looked at the document carefully. After a long while, she said with a smile, "It's quite fast.
It's faster than I expected."
"Godfather, how much do you think this will be a blow to Alexzander?"
"Well, my guts are telling me not much. The higher-ups will surely press it down since it involves too many people."
"Whatever that is going to be punishment for Alexzander will not be severe, at least not on the surface."
"Worst-case scenario, he's gonna be transferred back here. And if he really is, things will be much easier."
Mr. Woods was almost the cleverest man Aleigha had ever seen in her life. Yet this man's intention to be amidst all the struggle had already died along with Windy Woods, so had his heart.
But from Aleigha's appearance and the words she said, he vaguely felt that the death of his wife was not normal.
The people he sent out had been investigating for a long time. All the signs also showed that what happened to Windy was not a simple accident.
Yet he decided to turn a blind eye to all of it since his men had been informing him that Aleigha had been conducting an investigation as well.
Now, Alexzander was reported by Valentino and
there was even a recording that was submitted.
Since that was the case, Mr. Woods could almost be sure that it was not done by Valentino himself, he couldn't have made a rod for his own back.
All this indicated that Aleigha succeeded. She found evidence and pulled Alexzander and Valentino into the mire.
"Godfather, justice demands a fair trial and a fair outcome."
"There are always ways to make him get what he deserves, trust me."
Freddie had not seen Aleigha for a long time.
After his mother's funeral, Aleigha had not come to the Woods family for a long time.
Seeing her today, Freddie was quite morosely surprised to see how dejected she was and that she was not that child always smiling.
"Aleigha, stay with us for dinner today. Fred, you go and bring me the bottle of wine I saved. I'm feeling like some wine today."
Aleigha revealed what Raquel and her daughter had done on the dining table, causing Samuel and Freddie to sink deeply into silence.
After a long time, Freddie said in a low voice, "Aleigha, thank you. My mother's soul could finally rest in peace."
Aleigha nodded in silence.
"Come on, that's all behind us now, right? It is, the way I see it."
"Windy, you see, do you see now? Ah? Aleigha here, aye, your little girl Aleigha, she's avenged you! She has, hasn't she?"
Spurting out the words in a frenzy, Samuel burst into a long, heavy, and almost delirious series of laughter.
Samuel's hands, which were holding the wine glass, kept shuddering.
This was the first time for Aleigha, and also the only time that she saw the tough officer cry.
His face was twisted in a most distressing way as tears rolled down his wrinkled cheeks. Yet weird enough, he was making no sound at all.
Freddie also cried. He poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head, chugged it. Then he leaned over the table and cried so hard that a shudder ran right through his body.
Aleigha sat there in silence, her tears falling down like beads broken off from a pearl necklace.
The Woods house, which used to be the safe and warm safe haven, was now shattered to pieces.
