His Domineering Lover

After staying in the hospital for nearly a week, Aleigha was discharged.

Words came from both the customs and 1.81.

When she got home, she couldn't wait to go to the company.

Because of the injuries she took to the ribs and the other parts of her body, she was made much less mobile.

The men at the customs were Jaidyn's trusted followers, and naturally, the information provided by them

As for the 1.8T, Aleigha had a rough guess about who was the one pulling the strings behind the scene and her conclusion was Mrs. Hammond.

Upon receiving the information, Aleigha was not as excited as she had imagined she would be, given that the outcome was almost identical to what she guessed.

However, after being confirmed, her indignation about Windy's passing away started to stir again.

There was no way she would let Valentino and his wife get away.

She went home for some rest, thinking that Adrian would come back early than usual, given her current state.

Yet he was still nowhere to be found till the next morning.

Aleigha had never suspected Adrian. Even if he didn't show up for a day or two, she definitely wouldn't ask.

At noon, when servants at home had prepared tonic food for her, a call from Mrs. Hammond reached her cell phone.

"Miss Gardner, I've been getting some words that you are not quite well these days. I'm having a banquet held at my place this weekend, any chance you can make it?"

Since she knew she was not feeling well, her invitation sounded like a sheer mockery to Aleigha.

"Well, anyway, I have nothing to do. See you on weekends."Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Aleigha answered composedly instead of getting angry, without even a hint of anger in her tone.

Hanging up the phone, Aleigha wiped off the expression on her face.

For three days in a row, Adrian seemed to have vanished from the face of the world. Aleigha couldn't help but give him a call, but it didn't get through.

In the afternoon, the company's secretary called, saying that Jaidyn was sitting in her office.

Rushing to the company, she saw Jaidyn leaning against the back of her chair.

"Aleigha, it's a nice company you got here. Tell you the truth, I had thought it would be a pile of, well, let's say something much worse. And by the way, I'm glad with the 30% you proposed." There was a touch of warmth in Jaidyn's eyes. He got up and walked to the shelf, pouring himself a glass of vodka.

"I will do what I say. What are you doing here? Just say it!"

Jaidyn shook the transparent liquid in his glass, his eyes calm.

"You think I wanna be here? Adrian told me to come over. He's quite confident in you, isn't he, letting you spend time with me alone."

"You wouldn't dare do a thing anyway," Aleigha replied in a cold voice.

"Aleigha, it seems that you have forgotten what kind of person I am. Need a bit reminder?"

Aleigha shivered and glanced at him.

Even though she had witnessed what this man was capable of more than a few times, she would still fear him from the bottom of her heart.

Even if she couldn't be friends with him, the last thing she would want was for this man to be on the enemy's side.

Fortunately, in a sense, they could still be called friends.

"Adrian has been quite caught up lately and I, as a matter of fact, will be in charge of protecting you from now on." "However, no matter what happens next, don't believe any of it."

"No matter who says what, even if you see it with your own eyes, do not believe it. Adrian will not betray you."

The more she listened, the more she felt that Adrian was doing something bad behind her back. "What is being kept from me?"

Jaidyn raised his head and chugged down the liquor in his glass, smiling happily as he swayed the empty glass.

"Quite nice stuff you got here. Mind if I take a few bottles with me when I go?"

Shameless pilfering.

"Okay," Aleigha replied with a fake smile.

On Friday, a bomb dropped in City A. A reporter took pictures of Adrian coming out of a hotel with a young woman.

When Aleigha woke up, she looked at her phone. The glaring headline made her whole body tremble.

Her hands were so cold that she couldn't even hold her phone.

Immediately, Jaidyn's words suddenly came to mind and she calmed down in a moment.

She could imagine Adrian lying to her but not Jaidyn.

Though they seemed never to be on terms, they were each better because of each other's existence.

Adrian was powerful enough and he had always valued Jaidyn as an opponent.

Aleigha had enough confidence in Adrian and she was sure that there must be a proper reason that Adrian let Jaidyn bring her the news.

News flooded in. Aleigha's phone had never remained quite for a second.

Even Freddie had called over, and his tone held a hint of displeasure towards Adrian.

Aleigha had apparently become a joke in A City.

On the weekend, Aleigha went to the banquet alone.

When she arrived at the gate of the Hammond family, he saw that Jaidyn's dazzling limited edition Aston Martin was parked in the parking lot.

When she got out of the car and

walked to the house, she saw Jaidyn

coming over. Without waiting for her to speak, he had already stretched out his arm.

"If you don't want to be laughed at, go in by yourself."

The Hammond house was really not as small as she had imagined.

Last time she was here, she was not invited in the house, yet this time she was.

Being a government authority, this must be a secret villa that Valentino kept.

Aleigha sneered in her heart. "Is Valentino crazy, inviting all these people to his villa?"

"What, can't wait to let the whole world know how much money he had taken from bribery?"

He was either delirious or he had so much money in his hands that he didn't care what other's knowing his crimes would affect him. Thinking about these, Aleigha became alert. She sensed she might be walking into a bigger trap than she imagined.

Upon entering the house, there were already many guests in the around, but Valentino was nowhere

to be seen.

She only saw Mrs. Hammond walking back and forth with another elegantly dressed lady, greeting everyone they met along the way.

As soon as Aleigha held Jaidyn's arm and entered the door, Mrs. Hammond looked over at them.

There was a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Was she mocking her because of the recent news?

Aleigha pressed her lips lightly and smiled perfunctorily.

"A penny for your thoughts, Aleigha?" Jaidyn leaned close to her ear and asked softly.

"You know a banquet where s*it's gonna go down when you see it."

"But there's something wrong with this one. There's something wrong with the way Mrs. Hammond's looking at me. She's gotta have something to do with the recent events."

"You are really as smart as they say, huh? Well, a rather good show's about to be staged, do pay attention."

The two of them found a quiet place to rest for a while.

Mrs. Hammond, however, came over with another woman.

"Ms. Gardner, this is Mrs. Fulton, wife of General Fulton."

"Mrs. Fulton? The wife of Alexzander?"

Aleigha nodded with a smile. "I was just wondering why I have been invited."

She smiled gorgeously without any flaw, which stirred Mrs. Hammond's heart a bit.

Did Aleigha not know the news of the past few days?

a spot

"Mrs. Fulton will stay here for a few days this time. And she surely will find a spot on her tight schedule to pay her respect to Mrs. Woods, God rest her soul."

"What tragic, twisted, evil fate that befell her!"

As Mrs. Hammond spoke, she couldn't help but sob in a low voice.
