Chapter 1187
"Do you know how terribly she died? She was only 18 years old, and she was still a child. She didn't even know what she had done to deserve that right up till the moment she drew her last breath!" "You f*cking piece of human garbage! You don't deserve to live in this world!"
Aleigha's eyes were bloodshot, and her hand on the trigger slowly clenched.
"I'll do it." Adrian quickly grabbed her hand. She did not want his woman to be tainted with the blood of such a person.
Aleigha looked back at Adrian. Her gaze was so cold that it gave off a most freezing chill. "I'll do it myself. It's my own business."
"Spare me, please, mercy. I didn't wanna do it. My sister made me do it.
She said, she said that she would make that Aleigha pay the price."
Nolan's sister was Kendal.
Aleigha only came to know about it later on.
However, she did not connect Natasha's matter with Kendal.
"Alright, then I'll send you off on the road. Don't worry, your sister will be reunited with you soon enough," Adrian didn't wait for Adrian to stop her again.
With a bang, Aleigha had already pulled the trigger.
A warm and sticky feeling hit Aleigha's face. Looking at the person who fell down, Aleigha's hands were trembling.
She killed a person who deserved to die.
"Aleigha, give me the gun. Come on, now."
Adrian's heart ached. He grabbed the gun from Aleigha's hand and pulled her into his embrace.
"I, I killed a man," Aleigha mumbled with her eyes empty and void.
"You are fine. Don't be afraid. I'm here. Aleigha, don't be afraid," Adrian walked out of the warehouse with Aleigha in his arms.
He ordered his men to clean up and drove away.
Along the way, Aleigha was curled up in the seat. She didn't say a word and her eyes were dim.
She was like a frightened lamb.
Coming to the nearest villa, Adrian picked up Aleigha and went straight into the bathroom.
He didn't care whether she was willing or not, he directly took off her clothes and cleaned the blood on her body. Aleigha did not struggle, nor did she reject Adrian. She allowed Adrian to clean her up and change into his shirt. He carefully placed her on the soft bed.
While Adrian was at all of this, she had no reaction at all, and the despair in her eyes was heartbreaking. "Aleigha, you didn't have to do it yourself. Do you know how it breaks my heart to see you like this?"
Adrian hugged Aleigha from behind. He never thought that Aleigha would really pull the trigger.
"I just want to avenge her. She was only 18 years old, and she was so innocent that she was like a piece of blank paper."
"Can you even imagine how desperate she was when she took the jump?"
"I even can't but I know there's nothing that could've been done to save her."
"She must be disappointed in the world, disappointed in me, I could've stopped all this from happening."
"But I just left her for my own thing. I thought nothing could happen."
"It was me, my fault."
Aleigha bit her lip lightly and her body kept trembling. Adrian was both distressed and worried. Other than hugging her tightly, he didn't know how to comfort her at all.
Aleigha silently sobbed and after a while, she fell asleep.
Hearing her regular breathing, Adrian slowly got up, his body already drenched in sweats.
After taking a cold shower, Adrian called an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
When Aleigha woke up, it was already dark, and she was a little flustered as she lay on the bed in the dark.
Everything that happened in the daytime was still vivid in her mind. As tough and determined she was, she still had this terrifying feeling in her heart over the corpse she dropped on the ground. But she did not regret it.
She slowly got up, knowing that Adrian was not around.
Hearing the sound inside the house, Adrian rushed in from downstairs. When he pushed the door open, he saw Aleigha lying on the ground.
"Aleigha, are you alright?"
Aleigha stumbled over the legs of
the bed. She felt a sharp pain in
calves. She sat on the ground Poet

uncontrollably.
Adrian came in and his heart tightened at the
scene.
"How is it? Does it hurt?" Adrian nervously looked at her injured calf.
Aleigha wept tearfully and shook her head desperately, but she could not say a word.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"Cry out if you want to. I'm here for you as always. I will make you the happiest woman in this world."
"I will protect and pamper you, and I will let you have whatever you want."
"Alright?"
Adrian hugged her. His icy heart had long since melted by her.
"Adrian, what should I do? I killed a man! A living man!"
Only now did Aleigha feel a lingering fear from the fact that a living life disappeared in her anger.
Even if this person deserved it, she should not be the executioner.
"Aleigha, don't blame yourself. I won't let you pay any price and I won't let you get hurt."
Adrian stayed with her for three whole days, never leaving her alone.
Aleigha was like a spiritless doll. For three whole days, she was in a state of utmost despair.
Every night, if it weren't for Adrian by her side, she really wouldn't know how to face the nightmare of the entire night.
However, she had to face it on her own. Aleigha decided to leave Adrian and return to the Gardner family.
As soon as she got home, she made up an excuse that she was sick and asked for leave from school.
Near New Year's Day, Aleigha was getting more and more depressed.
When encountered by Emilia, who was also in the house, she would not even lift her eyes to look at her.
She was as lazy as a cat, curling up on the bed all day long.
Half a month passed when a notice for a missing person, Nolan, was published on the local news.
Aleigha watched the Reid family crying in front of the camera. For no reason, a trace of coldness rose in her heart.
Nolan had said that it was Kendal who plotted it all and pulled the strings.
Aleigha became clear all of a sudden. If Nolan deserved to die, how about Kendal?
And the Reid family. If the two of them didn't think they could act all unscrupulously because of their family, nothing would've happened.
Aleigha gave Adrian a call and asked him how he dealt with Nolan's body but Adrian was being all blurry with his words.
But he was sure to tell her that there was no need to worry.
After being depressed for so many days, Aleigha suddenly felt like there was something worth fighting for.
Lainey and her daughter had not gotten what they deserved yet, and now there was also Kendal.
How could she let herself sink down like this?
She was a little annoyed at her insensibleness.
Once she figured it all out, she knew what she had to do.
Upon returning to school and seeing Freddie again, the coldness in Aleigha's eyes dimmed significantly. Sas also willing to speak with Freddie.
She even agreed to Freddie's invitation and went out for a meal.
That was because Freddie had a powerful mother, and Aleigha was still very young. She had to learn.
She had to learn from Windy.
If she wanted to trample those people under her feet, she had to learn from the best.
If she wanted to protect the people around her, she needed to get much stronger.
Not only now did she realize that all her previous little games and plots were nothing but trivial matter for those who she wanted to get
at.
As Aleigha expected, when Nolan's body was found, there was another overwhelming report on the news.
The whole Reid family went into an uproar of fury again at the discovery of the body.
Yet it was not the first time that a playboy of a wealthy family was gunned down.
They were sure to have countless enemies out there, a result of their arrogance and unscrupulous deeds.
Yet no one would've expected that Aleigha was the one who pulled the trigger.
