His Domineering Lover

An ominous premonition flashed through Aleigha's heart. She frowned slightly and thought for a moment.

"I will go with you. Alexzander is no ordinary person. When necessary, I will ask my godfather for help." Samuel was now a rising star in Fripdence. Most of the forces of the Woods family in City A were in Aleigha's hands.

Now that Adrian had so many forces going at him, Aleigha couldn't possibly let him go alone.

At a time like this, the more minds to think things over the merrier.

"Well, pack up and let's go now."

By the time they left, it was already seven PM.

Adrian drove Aleigha to the private club that Alexzander had made an appointment with earlier.

This was a European-style building from the last century. It consisted of three buildings, which all had three floors. Alexzander lived here before he went to Fripdence. This was the property of Mrs. Fulton's mother's family.

The traffic here was convenient, and there were only two blocks between them from the center of the city. The whole building covered a large area.

As soon as they came back, they turned the whole place into a brand new look, which now looked like a palace.

Adrian's car slowly stopped outside the door. Someone immediately opened the gate and let him drive the car into the yard.

Aleigha got out of the car. Immediately, a servant came up to her and said politely and sternly, "Miss, I will have to frisk you, if you please."

Aleigha agreed and handed over the purse she carried with her.

Adrian, who was at the side, played ball as well.

Before they saw Alexzander, they didn't want to act rashly and alert the enemy.

After the body search, the servant did not find any sharp offensive weapons, so he took the two of them into the house.

Alexzander had already been sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for a long time. When he saw Adrian, he first looked at him from top to bottom.

Then he got up to greet him.

"Your name does precede you, Mr. Xiao. Forgive me for being a rough and rude military man, I'll save the unnecessary flattery."

Adrian's gaze was deep. He nodded in acknowledgment but did not say a word. Alexzander must have also inquired about his personality, which was why he did not show any signs of unhappiness. Aleigha followed Adrian into the house. It happened that Mrs. Fulton came from upstairs.

When she saw Aleigha, she remembered the hasty meeting of that day and hurried over. "Miss Gardner, do you still remember me?"

"Of course, Mrs. Fulton, how are you doing?"

Mrs. Fulton was slightly stunned and then said with a smile, "Of course, I'm doing quite well. Follow me this way, if you please. We wouldn't wanna disturb the men's talk, would we?" "Surely." She obediently followed Mrs. Fulton to the building behind.

The decorations were rather old-fashioned and Mrs. Fulton's azure cheongsam matched perfectly with it.

"I haven't thanked you for your gift before. I happen to have a few cheongsams here that are fresh out of the workshop. Take whatever you like."

By the gift, Mrs. Fulton was referring to Raquel and her daughter, whose destiny remained unknown to Aleigha.

"I'm glad you liked the gift. But I indeed am curious about how they are hanging by now."

"Why, why bother talking about them, a pair of disgusting creatures, they are. The mere mentioning of their names makes me sick!"

"Just think about how much Alexzander had helped them over the years! What scoundrels! And now Alexzander has to bear the shame brought by them!"

Aleigha nodded with a light smile and did not continue to ask. It seemed that Raquel and her daughter were miserable enough by now.

"I am a nice person. I can let go of whatever rather dissolute rumors there were in City A about Alexzander."

"My children have all grown up by now and I don't care to get mingled up in the fuss."

"I am only saying these things to you now, Miss Gardner, because I think quite highly of you."

"As you can see, the only thing that still survives in the marriage between me and Alexzander is the piece of paper that says we are married."

"It's because I've had enough of it in these years. I want to ask you if you can recommend the best lawyer in City A."

"A lawyer? Mrs. Fulton, why are you

looking for a lawyer?" This made Aleigha confused. She could almost be certain that the invitation to the

Fulton house could consist of nothing good.

How come it was not the same thing when it came to Mrs. Fulton?

"I want a divorce. But he's a military officer and it's a little bit tricky. Alexzander has his guards up day and night, trying to prevent me from getting away." "And after we tore

ourselves finally from net

he's become even harsher! Even if I get my mother's side's resources in my hands now, the military is still not to betaken lightly, right?" Aleigha was slightly stunned. She looked at Mrs. Fulton and was a little absent-minded. She didn't know if

she should believe her words.

"Miss Gardner, you don't have to believe me. Forget about what I said today. We'll talk, we will, but not now."

"Now, pick what you like, they come from the best artists in the country, that I assure you."

Aleigha didn't want to take her things at all.

But seeing the clothes placed on the table, she realized that this was all pre-organized for her.

When she was about to leave, Mrs. Fulton suddenly took her hand. "Miss Gardner, what Windy and I used to have, it's more than you know."

"You will understand some things slowly, but you have to be careful of Alexzander. He is not so easy to deal with."

Aleigha frowned slightly. She looked into Mrs. Fulton's eyes, but suddenly she seemed to be unable to see through them.

After a while, she nodded and said, "I see."

After coming out from Mrs. Fulton's place, she saw Adrian and Alexzander exchanging a few words rather casually.

There was also a faint smile on Adrian's ice-cold face.

At the sight of Aleigha, he waved to her and said, "Aleigha, come over, quickly."

Aleigha walked over to her in a charming manner and greeted Alexzander.

Alexzander nodded and chuckled. "Quite the match you are, quite so! I've had such quality time with Adrian just now."

"It's getting late and I won't keep you longer than need be. But you will come back to see me, will you?"

Alexzander personally saw off the two of them. It was not until Adrian drove away that he turned around and entered the door.

Not long after the car drove away, Adrian stopped at an intersection and got out of the car. He stood by the roadside and kept reaching his fingers down his throat.

He did not stop until he almost emptied out his stomach.

"What's going on?"

"I never drink things prepared in advance by others. It's better to be on guard."

Adrian didn't want to tell Aleigha that there were too many things in the dark. An old fox like Alexzander could have laced the tea with anything.

"Wipe your mouth." Aleigha looked at him with a worried look, and her heart was inexplicably agitated.

They had to be on guards all the time now. Such a life seemed infinitely worrisome to her.

After her company was merged into Adrian's, Aleigha had a lot to deal with in her hands.
