His Domineering Lover

"Dad, if you have something to say, just say it to me. Why did you call her back? I don't wanna see her."

Emilia complained.

Aleigha was calm and relaxed, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Shut up. If it weren't for you, would we in so much trouble?

"How many times have I told you to keep a low profile? Do you think you are already Mrs. Xiao?

"Do you have any idea what you did?"

Marcos threw the cigarette butt directly to Emilia and looked at her with a gloomy face.

Emilia trembled and avoided the cigarette.

"Do any of you know Aubrie Fulton from Empire Group?"

"Aubrie Fulton?" Aleigha shook her head, pretending to be ignorant.

"Why do you mention that b*tch?" Emilia's eyes were full of anger.

Hearing this, Marcos's eyes seemed to be burning with fire. He stood up in a flash and rushed to

Emilia, slapping her in the face.

Emilia didn't even have time to dodge.

Aleigha looked at the familiar scene, but there was no joy in her heart. It was still not enough.

Compared to what she had suffered, this was nothing.

"Dad, why did you hit me?" Emilia still didn't know what she had done wrong. She covered her face, looking aggrieved. "Aren't you an idiot? You offended Aubrie, you offended Empire Group! This company does a lot of business with us!

"I can't believe you're such a good- for- nothing bum!"

Marcos looked ferocious, as if the girl he was yelling at were not his daughter.

She was more like his enemy.

Emilia bit her lip, not knowing how to retort.

Empire Group? Aubrie was actually a member of Empire Group? Aleigha knew that Aubrie was capable, but she did not expect that Empire Group was her backer. No wonder Aburie often went to Adrian's company.

It was said that the boss of Empire Group was a very mysterious big shot. A lot of big families did business with him.

It seemed that Emilia was in big trouble.

Wow, things were getting funnier.

"And you! Stop acting like you don't care about anything!

"If the Gardner family falls apart, you're screwed, too. I don't care what you have to do.

"Butter Aubrie up and get her off our back."

Marcos glared at Aleigha, turned around, and walked away.

Rage bubbled just below the surface of Emilia's mind. She glared at Aleigha, her eyes blaze with hate.

"What's with that look? I didn't offend Aubrie."

Emilia gnashed her teeth. "So what? Dad said you couldn't stay out of this."

"Did I tell everyone I was gonna be Mrs. Xiao? Did I say I was pregnant with Adrian's child?

"What does it have to do with me?

"It's not that I want to marry Adrian."

Aleigha shrugged and sneered. She got up to leave, ignoring Emilia.

"Wait a minute. As long as you help me deal with Aubrie, I will no longer target you."

Emilia knew there was no way she could fix it alone. Now that she was in trouble, she had to take Aleigha down with her.

As for the no-longer-targeting thing...

Come on, only a three-year-old would believe in a verbal promise.

"Why should I help you? You brought this on yourself. You have to live with the consequences.

"You think you're gonna get away with it by getting me involved?

"Stop dreaming. Aubrie is not an idiot, nor am I. Well, I don't think you're smart enough to be Mrs. Xiao."

Emilia's face was deathly pale. She didn't know what to say.

"Don't forget you're a member of this family. Your fate is tied to us."

Emilia didn't want to give up. She wouldn't let Aleigha sit back and enjoy life.

"What do you have to make me help

you?"

She knew Emilia had nothing to bargain with.

She didn't plan to help Emilia at all.

"Think about it. Call me when you have something to convince me."

Aleigha walked out of the Gardner Residence, only to see Lainey getting out of a car. "Aleigha, you're back? I have something to tell you," Lainey said with a "loving" face.

Aleigha stood still and looked at her expressionlessly.

Aleigha frowned slightly and looked at Lainey with confusion.

Lainey warmly took Aleigha's arm, as if she didn't care about Aleigha's indifference.

"Aleigha, I'm sorry for what I did to you before. Did your father tell you about the Aubrie thing?

"You know, the Gardner family is in a major crisis. You should do

something, shouldn't you? I think neb

you can use the opportunity to get the Woods family to help us out."

What? The Woods family? This woman was really good at exploiting the

current situation for her own ends.

Aleigha smiled but said nothing. She looked at Lainey with an extremely soft gaze.

"Aleigha, I'm begging you. Just let Adrian marry your sister.

"You know how miserable Emilia is. She can't live without Adrian.

"You're different. I can tell that Freddie likes you. He's no worse than Adrian."

"It can be a win-win situation, right?

"If you want, I can get down on my knees."

As Lainey said that, she bent her knees slowly. Aleigha did not move at all, watching her kneel down. Lainey gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground. Anger filled her heart, but she still looked sad and pitiful. "Aunt Lainey, please stand up." After a long time, Aleigha said.

Lainey hurriedly got up. It was really painful to kneel on the cold, hard ground.

"Aleigha, does it mean you agreed?" Lainey took Aleigha's hand and looked at her eagerly.

Aleigha looked a bit hesitant, but finally she nodded. "I can give up on Adrian.

"But I can't tell Adrian and Freddie what to do. It's not up to me."

"Don't worry about that. All you have to do is go to the auction with me."

Aleigha nodded and then left the Gardner Residence.

She just got a message from Lennon.

The car she and Charlotte had an accident in was sent to the police station for investigation.

She learned the identity of the driver the last time she went to the police station to ask about the case.

Lennon had been helping her look into this driver.

They made an appointment to go to the driver's house.
