"Of course, he did." For some reason, she felt a tinge of jealousy in her heart.
If it weren't for the fact that she had to deal with Aubrie, she wouldn't have given Adrian's gift to her.
"I knew it was Adrian's idea. I have to personally say thank you to him."
Aubrie looked at the necklace fondly. Throwing every other thing behind her head, she stormed out of the room.
Upon seeing her leave, Aleigha followed her out.
Back in the banquet hall, Adrian and Darien were still drinking. Aubrie rushed in front of Adrian.
All of a sudden, she was about to hug him, but Adrian dodged in time. Darien's face instantly sank.
"Adrian, I knew it, I knew it. Thank you, I like it very much." Adrian was stupefied. It wasn't until Aleigha walked over and shrugged her shoulders helplessly that realization dawned on him.
He coughed and didn't say anything.
"What is it? I'd like to see it." Darien had been watching from the side for a long time. One could imagine the feeling in his heart. He opened his mouth and interrupted the interaction between the two of them.
"You better be careful." Aubrie handed it to Darien as if it was a treasure.
He had just reached out his hand and wanted to touch it, the box was closed by Aubrie. "Don't touch it."
Aleigha watched from the side and laughed. "Adrian, let's go over there. Don't disturb them."
Adrian understood and pulled Aleigha away from the swimming pool.
As soon as they left, there was a loud sound of falling into the water behind them, and then waves of exclamations resounded through the night sky.
The two men looked at each other and walked up hand in hand.
"My child, my child, save my child. Somebody help her!"
Caroline's mother was lying on the side of the pool, crying at the top of her voice. The surrounding guests were also scared out of their wits.
However, not one single on-looker made a move towards the swimming pool. Darien stood aside, shouting at the bodyguards. The whole hall went into pandemonium.
Seeing this, Adrian looked at Aleigha and saw her nodding her head and chuckling. Only then did he unbutton his shirt, take big strides forward, and jump into the swimming pool.
Aleigha also hurriedly followed. She saw Adrian quickly swim to Caroline's side and pick up her thin and weak body.
"It's Adrian!"
Someone recognized the person who jumped into the pool and could not help but exclaim.
Only then did Caroline's mother see him clearly. She was stunned for a while and looked at Aubrie with confusion.
Adrian carried Caroline out of the swimming pool and landed on the shore. Aleigha hurriedly brought over a towel and helped him wipe it.
"Help her, what are you waiting for?" As soon as they came ashore, Darien ordered the others to quickly save Caroline.
Caroline's mother was crying on the side, but there was nothing she could do, so she had to wait for the professionals to come to rescue her daughter.
Fortunately, she had not fallen into the water for a long time. Caroline quickly spat out the water, but she had not woken up yet.
Lying motionless on the ground, with his eyes closed and her purple, she looked very abnormal.
"Why is she still unconscious?" Caroline's mother looked at her lying motionless and shook her a few times, but there was still no movement.
"Darien, get someone to take a look. What is going on? Quick, take a look."
"What's going on? What happened?" Darien's mother and her in-laws walked over.
Seeing the girl on the ground, Aubrie's mother was shocked and hurriedly hid in her husband's arms.
"What's the hell's going on?" Darien's mother raised her voice by a few degrees as she sternly asked.
