His Domineering Lover

Lainey left the detention center and did not dare to go home for a long time.

The whole Gardner family knew that she had been released, but none of them even mentioned about bringing her back home.

Emilia was depressed all day with a morose expression on her face, not talking to anyone anytime.

Yet her state of mind and the fact that Lainey was away gave the Gardner ten days of rare peace.

That afternoon, when Aleigha was about to go to the library after her last session, her phone rang.

This was the first time Adrian had called her after the release of the latest product issue conference. "If I don't call you, will you never take the initiative to contact me?" Before Aleigha could say anything, Adrian already burst out roaring.

Aleigha put the phone away from her ear and began to think about how to brush him off.

"My uncle passed away some time ago, I was caught up with that." Aleigha thought that this was the only excuse that he could not refute.

Sure enough, Adrian pondered for a moment after hearing this. "Why didn't you tell me when something like this happened?

"Do you know how much I'm worried about you?"

"I'm fine, aren't I? Why'd you call?" Aleigha was a little timid talking to him but she could hear that Adrian's tone had calmed down significantly.

"We are only getting busier and busier after the product lunch. The sales are not gonna be a problem. I'm thinking about getting the company listed next month."

Aleigha was stunned. She looked at the date on her mobile phone and then breathed a sigh of relief. The release of the product was a little later than before, but this did not delay Adrian's company's listing. However, she was a bit surprised that neither the Landry family nor Darian had yet to make any move.

"I don't think that's something I'd be able to help with. Anything else?"

Adrian was so angry that he almost vomited a mouthful of blood. "Lome to the company tonight."

He almost roared and finished talking, then hung up the phone.

Aleigha sighed. "When can this dude just chill out

for a bit?"

She was in no mood to read, so she could only pack up and go back to the Gardner family.

Except for Emilia, everyone else in the family had gone out. Aleigha tried not to disturb that person as much as possible and sneaked back to her room.

Just as she was about to change her clothes and take a shower, she heard the sounds of fine footsteps at the door.

Aleigha went to the side of the door alertly and listened carefully with her face against the door.

"Emilia, I'm going away for a while. Your father is angry enough now for what had happened."

"If I appear at this time, he can literally have someone to strangle me."

Emilia sobbed in a low voice and judging by the sound of it, she was holding Lainey by the arm, reluctant to let her go. She kept on sobbing and moaned intermittently, "Mom, I can't take it anymore." "I can't take it anymore with this family. Take me with you, I beg of you!"

"Silly child, have you forgotten that you still need to marry Adrian? Listen to me, take good care of yourself."

"When I come back, I will definitely marry you to Adrian."

How could she be so calm and be sure that she'd marry Adrian?

Aleigha thought about it carefully and concluded that even if Lainey did leave, she'd still cause a whole series of problems.

When the two people outside the door left, Aleigha thought for a while and this time she contacted Freddie.

And she asked him to meet after lunch at the school library.

Aleigha dressed up and went to the library. She didn't expect Freddie to already be there.

"Aleigha, what can I do for you?" This was the first time that Aleigha took the initiative to contact Freddie.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

He was a little excited.

"I know you have been surrounded by people who have been secretly protecting you. I want to use two of them." Aleigha went straight to the point. At this time, she needed help, but she could not trouble Lennon again and again.

"That's easy. Here's a number and whenever you need someone to do something for you, just dial

it."

Freddie was rather simple-minded so he didn't even ask what Aleigha was up to before helping her. All he cared about was making her happy.

After coming out of the university, Aleigha called the number, and two men of extremely ordinary appearances approached her.

Aleigha's request was simple. She ordered that they monitor Lainey and report her daily whereabouts.

The Woods family had always had abundant resources of assets.

Freddie was the only son of the Woods family so he had been protected ever since he was a child. Now that he'd grown up, the men were all at his disposal. Aleigha knew about this in her last life, so she decided to use Freddie's men.

But the most important thing was

that these people would never

betray the Woods family, and each

of them had their own unique skills. This was Aleigha's purpose for using them.

Although she felt that it was not appropriate to take advantage of Freddie, she had to take special measures at special times.

After arranging the men to monitor Lainey, Aleigha went to Adrian's company in advance. After all, she owed him an apology for disappearing without making any explanation. She decided to lower her status a bit with Adrian.

When she entered the company, she

happened to meet the security

guard who had stopped her before.

This time, when he saw her, he

politely let her get into Adrian's

exclusive elevator.

Without Adrian's permission, outsiders were not allowed to use his exclusive elevator.

But Aleigha was not an outsider.

Adrian should be busy during this period of time. She couldn't find a place to go, so she came ahead of schedule.

The elevator led straight to the floor where Adrian's office took up the whole flight.

Apart from the cleaners, only secretaries were allowed to enter and leave at will.

Aleigha walked out of the elevator and headed for Adrian's office.

Before she could open the door, she heard a light moaning coming from inside the room.

Aleigha's hand, which was placed on

the doorknob, was pulled back as

though it had been electrocuted

Hearing the moan, she needed no

one to tell her what was going on inside the office.

She had a sense of chill brushing past her heart, making her pant a bit.

She took a few steps back and turned to run away.

She pressed the button in the elevator as if the faster she pressed, the quicker it would get her away from here.

It wasn't until she got out of the company hall that she felt her breathing became smoother.

She had always known that Adrian wasn't lacking in women.

However, when it actually happened, she still experienced inexplicable pain.

"Aleigha, Adrian is nobody to you, why bother?"

As she turned around and was about to leave, a black Bugatti Veyron slowly stopped in front of her.

Her heart tightened and she subconsciously stepped back to avoid it.

She adjusted her mood a little, and her face was as indifferent as before.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a handsome face. Aleigha's heart skipped a beat, and her calm heart was lifted again.

"Get in," he said softly, but with a hint of an undoubted command.

Without herself knowing why, Aleigha seemed to be dragged by some inexplicable force and got

into the car.

The moment the door was closed, she gritted her teeth and regretted what she had done.

Caught right in a dilemma, she was.

The inside of the car was very quiet.

Since she left the Woods family last time, she had almost forgotten this man.

However, today's chance encounter only made her even more terrified.

Why did this man, who looked indifferent on the outside, want to get close to her on purpose?

Or was she thinking too much?

It was a little too quiet in the car, and Aleigha fussed about restlessly.
