His Domineering Lover

"Yes, yes, it's my fault. It's my fault. I got in over my head, I'm sorry."

"Aleigha, who is that man?"

Adrian got back to this question again.

"That's the cousin of one of my friends. I ran into him and he gave me a ride."

Aleigha threw a random lie because she was sure Adrian knew nothing about that man.

Adrian was a little skeptical.

"Well, there's nothing I can do even if you don't believe me. For all I care, you can just believe that I was flirting with him."

Aleigha felt a little guilty, but on second thought, she realized she didn't even know the man's name.

Adrian looked at her and decided not to get too caught up with this, hence his mood was also improved quite a lot.

"And besides, before you throw yourself upon me next time, brush your teeth. The scent of another woman disgusts me."

Thinking of what she had to hear this afternoon, anger surged up again in Aleigha's heart.

"Another woman?" Adrian understood what Aleigha was referring to but he did not expect Aleigha to have arrived at that time.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Aleigha didn't say anything, but she didn't let go of Adrian's every move from the corner of her eye.

"I'll explain to you later about what happened in the afternoon. Let's go for dinner now."

As soon as he said that, Aleigha knew Adrian was trying to hide something from her.

They chose a random restaurant for dinner, during which Aleigha kept a sullen face all the time yet Adrian didn't know what to say or do to make her feel better. After the meal, the two of them parted unhappily.

Aleigha kept telling herself that she had nothing to do with him, so there was no reason for her to be so jealous or whatever that feeling inside her heart was.

Yet the fact that Adrian had still yet to make an explanation made her feel like there was something stuck in her chest, suffocating her bit by bit.

Aleigha didn't let Adrian drive her home, instead, she took the subway.

The phone rang. Aleigha listened in silence, and after a while, she hung up the phone with a cold curve at the corner of her mouth.

The Woods family's assets were indeed capable. They found out what she needed to know almost in the blink of an eye.

Not long after, she received a message with an address written on it.

It was too late today, and Aleigha thought, "I'll go tomorrow."

When she returned to the Gardner family, she decided to sneak back to her room to wash up.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

She opened the door and found Samantha standing outside the door quietly, looking at her with a smile.

"Aleigha, loan me some money." Samantha reached out her hand. There was no humility on her face, which was supposed to be there since she was asking for a favor. What was on her face, however, was a cocky expression as if she was asking for something that belonged to her.

"And why would I do that?" Aleigha was in a bad mood, so she blurted out harshly.

Samantha was stunned, and the smile on her face gradually turned into anger. "What do you mean, Aleigha?

"How did you promise my mom when you brought me here?" "Did I force you to come here? You can leave now, I'm going to bed." Aleigha wanted to close the door.

But Samantha put her hand on the crack of the door.

"Yeah, go! Close the door and go to your f*cking bed! As soon as you turn, I'll scream at the top of my lungs!" Samantha said brazenly.

The way she was making a fuss about was just like the way her mother Perla would do.

"Go right ahead and scream. This is the Gardner family, do you think the Gardners are gonna take your word for it? I'll tell you what, you'd better keep yourself under that line and don't get me any trouble." Aleigha finished her words and slammed the door shut.

Fortunately, Samantha pulled her hand out in time so that it was not jammed by the door.

She was so angry that she wanted to curse outside the door, but after thinking about it, she still went back to her room.

The next morning, it was a rainy day and it was very cold.

Aleigha was going to go out early in the morning.

When she saw Samantha, she locked her door before she left.

According to the address provided yesterday, Aleigha went alone and found that it was a villa area.

It was a quite fancy neighborhood and the address she was looking for was a quite luxurious villa.

Aleigha soon found it and took pictures. She wanted to do a stakeout but her luck was surprisingly good that day.

Just as she was about to hide, the door of the villa was opened.

A man and a woman walked out from the inside. The woman was Lainey. The man looked familiar. Aleigha thought about it carefully.

She suddenly remembered the man she met at the entrance of the hospital that day.

She suddenly realized something and took pictures of them with her mobile phone in a hurry.

It was not difficult to see that their relationship was quite intimate, judging by Lainey leaning against his arms.

The man was quite gentle himself, lowering his head and kissing Lainey on the cheek.

After getting what she wanted, Aleigha left satisfactorily.

By the way, she contacted the people of the Woods family to help her investigate the man's identity.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Because it was too cold, Aleigha had to go back home.

Emilia went for a maternal examination and came back with a sullen face.

She had just gone into the house when Aleigha also arrived. Emilia glared at Aleigha when she saw her.

Aleigha looked at her belly that she couldn't hide anymore and couldn't help but chuckle.

In Emilia's eyes, this was an undisguised contempt.

"Aleigha, what are you so proud of? What's that look in your eyes? Are you looking down on me?"

Emilia glared at Aleigha.

"You can think of it as whatever you want it to be."

Emilia was angry but dared not say anything. She knew that, with her current state, she was no match for Aleigha if things were to get physical.

After entering the hall, there was only Samantha watching TV on her own. Seeing them walking in together, Samantha was a little curious. Aleigha looked at the messy coffee table in the hall. Her eyebrows slightly twisted and she seemed a little unhappy.

"You dirty hillbilly, living quite comfortable, aren't you? Starting to feel like you really are a Gardner, ah?" Emilia glared at Samantha and went upstairs with a look of disgust.

A few minutes after she went upstairs, Emilia ran back out again.

"Was it you, you filthy hillbilly? Did you take the money from my dresser? And my cosmetics placed in there! Was it you? Say it!" Aleigha's face was gloomy. This poisonous snake finally couldn't hold back her nature and started to do the nasty things she was best at. Samantha threw away the banana skin in her hand and stood up, shouting, "So what if it was me?"

"You are a used sl*t anyway, no makeup's gon' change that! It's just gonna be a f*cking waste on you!" Emilia was so irritated that she gasped for breath.

"A thief! That's what you brought into this house, Aleigha! Did you hear what she said?"

Emilia started to try to blame it on Aleigha.

Aleigha furrowed her brows and

walked forward. She slapped Samantha's face. "How many times have I told you?" "Ah? How many have I told you to keep your hands clean in the Gardner? Stealing now, aren't you? This is your last day here, you can pack up and get lost right now!"

Samantha, no matter what would befall her, would never comply and leave the house, not after everything she bad gone through to get herself a life she was living now.

"I won't go. You promised my mother that you would take care of me. I won't go."

A cold smile formed on Aleigha's face. She turned around and headed upstairs.

The noise woke Charlotte and Dustin. When they came out, Aleigha had already gone back to her own room.

Just as Aleigha expected, the Gardner family began to hate Samantha.

Since Perla wanted a life of a royal for her gold-digging daughter, she would show her that it was not that easy to even suck up to a family like the Gardners.

After the scene Emilia caused, the whole family knew that Samantha was a thief.

Although for Aleigha's sake, Charlotte and Dustin didn't kick her out, no one ever paid any attention to her anymore.
