The launch event proceeded as planned.
It was a huge event in town. For the sale target, the sponsor invited a lot of celebrities in City A to the event.
There were seven companies to join the bidding, including the ones from Aleigha and Leona.
Six of the companies went through the motions because the result was cut and dried. Leona didn't know this.
Aleigha took Mill to the event, and they saw Ruby, dressed up, there.
To cast a mist before Leona's eyes, Ruby attended the event as the secretary of Adrian.
Those reporters thronged toward Aleigha upon her appearance, and their questions were boring.
They would like to dig out more information about Adrian through Aleigha, so she put on a smiley face and didn't respond to any questions.
Adrian came with Jaidyn, and both of them were invited to attend the event as guests.
For the sake of Aleigha, Adrian changed his plan and attended this event.
His appearance made a sensation, and he stole the focus of all attention, as well as the spotlights. Jaidyn managed to get rid of those reporters and sat at the front row. He looked at Aleigha from time to time.
"Mill, when Leona's men arrive, pay more attention to Ruby."
Mill nodded, looked around, and left Aleigha quietly.
"Aleigha, I am looking for you," a coquettish voice came.
This voice disgusted Aleigha, and she shivered with a jolt of dismay. Without looking back, Aleigha knew who owned this voice.
"Aleigha, can you hear me?"
Leona, dressed up, wore heavy makeup and came with pungent scents.
She was eager to get close to Aleigha.
Aleigha got up in a hurry, didn't bother to hide her aversion in the eyes, and rubbed her nose involuntarily.
"Show your true colors, and I am not interested in hypocritical friendship."
Leona was stunned. A trace of cruelty flashed across her face, but then she chuckled, "Aleigha, aren't we good friends?" "This is your opinion, and I never think so. Excuse me."
Aleigha took a few steps back to leave.
Leona was reluctant to let her go. She strode toward Aleigha and gripped her sleeve.
"Aleigha, don't embarrass me in front of so many people, or else I will serve you well."
Leona didn't pretend a friend anymore.
Aleigha felt a little excited now. She sneered, "One has to earn his own respect."
"I have no intention to embarrass you. Let go of my hand."
"What are you so complacent? Because Adrian is behind your back?"
Leona said in a low voice, trying to exasperate Aleigha with sarcasm.
"Let go. Don't make me hurt you."
A chilly and deep voice interrupted the conversation before Aleigha talked back.
Leona was preparing for a show. She looked back to find Jaidyn rather than Adrian, who was her target.
"Mr. Galloway, do you want to intervene in women's affairs? What's the relationship between you and Aleigha?" "Oh, I know, haha."
Leona grinned at Jaidyn as if she discovered a great secret.
She let go of Aleigha after shooting a glance at her. Then, she left.
"Aleigha, are you all right?"
Jaidyn stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"I am fine, but her scents are disgusting. I can't figure out her intention for such a farce."
Watching Leona walk away with her twisting waist, Aleigha became vigilant again.
"I think she misunderstood our relationship. Don't worry, as Adrian has a clear mind. Never mind."
Jaidyn was overjoyed at heart though he said so.
