Chapter 1244
Even Aubrie felt that Adrian was the reason Aleigha had made a series of smart moves.
Thinking of what was gonna happen, Aubrie suddenly felt better. The embarrassment on her face was gone.
"Adrian, I'll talk to you later." Aubrie dodged Darien's hand and turned around to hold his arm.
She was telling Adrian that she was not Darien's girlfriend.
Darien was slightly startled. Then, he smiled and said, "She's shy." He touched Aubrie's nose, looking like a sweet boyfriend.
Aleigha smiled faintly and looked at them without saying anything. She was more sure this party was a trap.
She just didn't know who was behind this. Maybe it was more than one person.
She sat next to Adrian and said in a low voice, "I saw a lot of people."
"Well, everyone has a plan. They're either here for fun or for profit."
Adrian shook the vodka in his hand.
A moderate dose of hard liquor would clear his
head.
Aleigha looked around from time to time. A vague but familiar figure flashed by.
It was soon lost in the crowd.
She didn't think she was mistaken. She was sure that guy was Dominic.
"How many of your men are out there?"
Adrian looked at her in confusion. He didn't know why she asked that. "Five, I guess.
"If you want, more people will be here in ten minutes. What's wrong?"
Aleigha curled her lips and sneered like a fox. "Lend these five people to me."
Adrian nodded. He basically knew what she was up to. She wanted to get the jump on them.
Aleigha secretly ran to the back garden.
Adrian's five subordinates were already waiting for her. Aleigha briefly told them what to do before returning to the banquet hall.
When she was absent, several young girls walked to Adrian, chatting and laughing.
They looked as if they wanted to eat Adrian with a spoon.
Seeing Aleigha coming back, a lady said, "Who is this lady to Mr. Xiao?
"She looks very ordinary."
Adrian looked displeased, but didn't stop her.
"I am ordinary, and I don't have a powerful family. So what? I'm lucky."
"Mr. Xiao likes me and that's enough."
"Am I right, Adrian?"
After that, Aleigha shivered all over. It was the first time she had ever spoken in such an affected manner.
Adrian looked at her as if he were looking at a monster.
These young ladies looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
Then, they left unhappily.
"Aleigha, stop talking like that. I like you just the way you are."
Adrian hated it when she didn't act like herself.
"Adrian, are you angry?" Aleigha continued to speak in that tone of voice, getting goose bumps all over.
She fell into his arms and said, "I've already talked to your men. If anything happens later, follow my lead."
Adrian let out a cold snort. He knew it! He hugged her to his lap and drew a lot of attention.
Aleigha's face flushed red. So many people were looking at them! Was he crazy?
"That'll teach you to go against me." He whispered in her ear.
Feeling itchy, she hurriedly shook her head. "I won't do it again!"
In the eyes of others, they were just making out in public.

Only then did she feel better.
Since almost all the guests had arrived, Lennon entered with his fiancee and the Landrys.
His fiancee's family were obviously from the upper class.

Therefore, she did not pay attention to what the Landrys had said at all.
Adrian was used to it. He kept looking at her, for fear that something would happen to her.
"Here comes the fun part." Aleigha felt excited.
Lennon toasted all the guests with his fiancee. He looked courteous and polite, without any unwillingness.
But his fiancee seemed to be a little absentminded.
The festive sound of glasses clinking and people lauc could be heard.
All of a sudden, all the lights went out, and the hall was suddenly in complete darkness.

see what they want to do."
There was a moment of silence. Suddenly, someone screamed, and everyone started running.
Adrian and Aleigha were separated by the moving crowd.
Aleigha took out her mobile phone. Suddenly, a strong light burst forth, making her unable to open her eyes. Then, she felt that someone picked her up.
Everything happened so fast that no one had time to react. The Landrys raised their voice to stop the chaos.
The hall suddenly became bright.
Adrian got used to the light and quickly looked around. However, he couldn't see Aleigha.
That made him anxious.
"Where's Lillian? Why is Lillian missing?" Lennon suddenly realized that his fiancee had disappeared.
She was not in the crowd.
"Darien is not here, either." Aubrie's face was full of panic. In fact, she was more nervous than anyone else.
She was one step away from getting rid of Aleigha! Adrian would be hers!
Adrian stood in the crowd. His calmness was frightening. After thinking for a while, he knew what was going on. "Aleigha is missing, too." His voice was low and deep, but it was very clear.
Aubrie's mouth tilted
upwards slightly at the corners. The next second, she put on an anxious look. "What happened?"
"What are you all waiting for? Go find them!" Lennon's eyes were filled with coldness.
Even a fool could tell it was abnormal. Three people disappeared for no reason.
"Mr. Xiao, I'm so scared," Aubrie sobbed in a low voice and trembled slightly.
She looked really pitiful.
Adrian was like a statue, motionless. Aleigha asked him to follow her lead, but where was she?
He was so angry that someone took his woman away while he was around.
Whoever behind this was doomed!
People were talking, but Adrian acted as if he didn't hearthem.
