His Domineering Lover

"What's happening here?" Aleigha walked in, pretending to be surprised. She looked at the mess all over the floor.

She felt quite distressed about the valuable objects being smashed to pieces.

"Miss Gardner, well..."

Raquel watched Lauren go crazy, which made the Xiao family a mess. She didn't know how to explain it, and her face turned into a rather embarrassed expression.

"The things are not important. It's good that you two are all right. Why don't I call Mr. Hammond? You can't just stay here and not think of a solution to whatever that got you out of the house in the first place." Raquel wanted to stop her, but Aleigha had called.

"Mr. Hammond, your wife and daughter are here with me in the Xiao house. Why don't you send someone to pick them up? Having a quarrel is quite normal, you all people should understand that, right? But you do have to work it out sooner or later, with all due respect."

Valentino's tone on the other side of the phone was very gentle. After chatting for a while, he agreed to send someone to bring them back.

Knowing Valentino's response, Raquel thought that he had figured it out. Therefore, she kept on bowing and thanking Aleigha.

However, she still had to pay for the things that Lauren had smashed in the house.

"Mrs. Hammond, you know, these items are all Adrian's personal collections. They're quite expensive."

"I'm afraid there's gotta be an explanation, so to speak, for this."

Raquel frowned and said with a smile, "Of course I'll compensate you."

"Well, I'm sure you will, since you are quite the woman of honor, right? But you and I both know that words don't really mean much and it's not really my decision to make to just let you go. What do you say we set this whole thing down on a piece of paper?'

Raquel didn't have time to think about this. Lauren kept cursing and shouting, all Raquel could bring herself to do was listen to everything Aleigha wanted her to do.

Aleigha had Phoenix calculate how much everything cost in total and wrote it down on a note.

Before Raquel could take a glance at it, the people sent by Valentino had arrived, so she could only leave the Xiao family with Lauren.

Valentino returned home at noon and forced Raquel to sign the divorce agreement. Without giving her a penny, he kicked the two of them out of the house.

Raquel stared at the divorce agreement in a daze, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Lauren was scared to tremble at the sight of Valentino, and her mind, as she was hiding behind Raquel, was also much clearer.

"Valentino, shouldn't our marriage, our marriage that has lasted for decades, at least count for something?"

Valentino, with fierce eyes, gave him a slap and said, "Marriage? How do you dare to bring that up now?" "Did our marriage flash past your mind for a second when you were riding on some man's c*ck? Ah? Did it?" "How dare you talk to me about our marriage, you degenerate!"

Raquel was speechless, holding Lauren and sobbing silently.

"Get your things and leave now. I don't want to see you anymore."

Valentino glanced at them and turned to enter the study.

Aleigha gave Adrian, who was on a business trip abroad, a call. Adrian naturally did not care about the collections.

He just reminded her to be careful.

With Adrian's permission, Aleigha called Valentino and told him about Raquel.

Valentino's hand, which was holding the phone, was shaking. He was so angry yet he could not let off the steam on Aleigha. On the contrary, he had to be all polite and humble.

After putting down the phone, he rushed out and gave Raquel a few slaps. Even Lauren, who was standing beside her, was slapped by him.

It was not a big deal for Raquel to be beaten, but Valentino beat Lauren, which made her extremely irritated.

She stood up and began to fight with Valentino.

"Valentino, you f*cking animal. She might not be your real daughter but now that after what you've done to her, what else could you possibly want?"

"If you dare to lay another finger on her, mark my words, I'll take out all your skeletons hidden in your closet! I will!"

Valentino's eyes seemed to spurt fire. "Are you threatening me? Well, then, you asked for this."

Raquel was horrified when she heard that. However, she could not be weak in such a critical moment.

She bellowed in a frenzy, "Go ahead and kill me. Even if you do kill me, there will be people who will do that for me!"

"And by then, there's nothing that could stop your doom! Alexzander will likely be the one personally swaying the ax falling down on your fat neck!"

Valentino looked at Raquel and finally put down his raised hand. Over the years, he told Raquel everything.

Because he had never thought that Raquel would betray him. But today, he was wrong. He was wrong to the extreme.

"Okay, I won't touch you. You can go now."

Raquel walked out of the Hammond

family with Lauren and a pathetic amount of what they could bring. Over the years, she had her own money set aside just in case. en.swhovels.net

It was enough for her and Lauren to live without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. In fact, she à part of her was glad th

could finally be rid of Valentino.

A black Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle slowly came, and a few people got off from it and surrounded Raquel and her daughter.

Before they could call for help, they took them into the car.

In the car, Raquel looked at them in horror. "Who are you? Did Valentino send you?"

"I've got all the things on him! If I die, he and all of you will be buried with me!"

"Blind them."

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Don't touch me."

The men in the car didn't say anything else after gagging both Raquel and Lauren.

After driving for about half an hour, the car stopped at the gate of a villa.

Raquel and her daughter were immediately led out of the car and thrown into the house.

Aleigha was sitting on the sofa with a cold look in her eyes. The footage that had been tampered with was being projected on the huge canvas behind her.

Only after someone removed the blindfold from Raquel and her daughter's eyes did they see what was happening around them.

"Aleigha? Why are you here? Did you send those men to bring us here?"

Raquel was shocked. She had believed that it was

Valentino who had sent the men to bring them here."

"Why, yeah, it was me."

"Quite the fuss you made, eh? Yet if I didn't go through with the fuss, how else am I supposed to bring you here for this?"

"For what?"

Raquel panicked but calmed down soon after. She realized that the best way out for her now might be to just stay calm and see how the whole thing would unfold. "For what? Well, I'm pretty sure your eyes still serve you right. Then why don't you take a look at the footage, the one you strained so hard to conceal."

Aleigha got up and walked slowly toward them. Raquel subconsciously went to protect Lauren.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

"The brake system of my godmother's car was destroyed by your daughter. Don't tell me you don't know."

"All I wanna know is why you wanted her dead so bad."

Walking to the front of the two, Aleigha grabbed Lauren's long hair and looked at her eyes that were filled with utter fear.

"Are you scared?"

Lauren shook her head and tried to pull her hair desperately. Raquel felt so distressed that she ear

it. While she was trying to Lauren, she pushed Aleigha.

This just gave Aleigha a chance. She grabbed Lauren's hair and pulled her to the ground with a force.

Raquel screamed and reached out to hit her. However, her body, which had been beaten violently by Valentino, was no match for Aleigha.

Before she could touch Aleigha, she was already flat on the ground.

Aleigha dragged Lauren by her hair all the way to the canvas.

Squatting beside Lauren, she grabbed her hair so that she looked up and said, "Do you see?"

"You are the one in there, aren't you?"

"Do you know how much effort I had to put in to make you here to watch it?"

"But this is not enough. Killing you cannot revenge my godmother."

"And the mere thought of having to kill you with my hands disgusts me!"
