His Domineering Lover

"Are you threatening me?"

Marcos's eyes were crimson red, and there was a murder intent in his eyes.

"Otherwise, how can I survive today? Marcos, you show no mercy to me, so don't blame me for my betrayal. You took possession of all the wealth of the Mccall family privately. Don't you fear that Miranda will become a ferocious ghost to revenge? You are not so naive to believe that Aleigha takes your side, are you? I wonder how she will look when the truth that you made the Mccall family go bankrupt came out." After hearing this, Aleigha stepped back lightly to a corner where no one could see her.

"Marcos? She lied, didn't she? Miguel left Miranda some money after the bankruptcy. Did you take it?"

Marcos looked at Lainey fiercely and didn't respond to Charlotte.

"Marcos! You're a rascal! Miguel gave the hand of his only daughter to you, but you requited kindness with enmity! That money belongs to Aleigha, but you, how dare you!"

Charlotte was too angry to go on, so she turned around and went upstairs.

Hearing the footsteps, Aleigha hid in the storage room behind her back.

The conversation downstairs continued, but Aleigha had no mood to listen on. She became interested in the story about the Mccall family, including the bankruptcy and the moving away. Lainey was locked in the attic. Three meals a day were sent to her. Marcos would not let her die until Emilia was found.

Aleigha went to the attic quietly before dawn.

The attic was dark and cold, and there were no windows. It was not much better than the basement. In the room, there was a bed, a table, and a chair.

When Aleigha went in, Lainey was sitting on the bed motionlessly. Aleigha couldn't help trembling when hearing the footsteps.

Lainey couldn't sleep at night like this.

Aleigha's footsteps were light. She sat on a shabby chair beside the table.

"What do you want to know?" Lainey recognized Aleigha's footsteps.

Aleigha looked at Lainey coldly, and the gazes would become sharp edges if possible.

"What happened to my grandfather?"

At first, she doubted the bankruptcy of the Mccall family was an accident. What was more, her mother and grandmother once told her that her grandfather was sound and well, so his sudden death sounded dubious.

"Why don't you ask Marcos? Are you afraid that he won't tell the truth? I won't tell you either. This is the last card in my hand."

"Do you really think so? Why does Marcos keep you here? He doesn't dare to kill you? No, he is waiting! You said Emilia had all his evidence in her hand, but will he believe your words? His getting Emilia back can be expected soon. When that day comes, I doubt whether Emilia can be spared, let alone you."

Lainey looked blankly toward Aleigha with a bitter smile, and Aleigha could see no trace of beauty on that old face.

"Aleigha, Marcos is not so smart as you think. After all these years passed, I know him well. Don't bluff me because I will say nothing."

Aleigha got up, and her face was full of sarcasm, "You can keep it to yourself. One day you will beg me to hear your story, but I may not be interested then."

"That day won't come, Aleigha. You gave hell to my daughter and me. I will tell you nothing."

"Well, I know that man who raped your daughter. I can make a sensation with this information. Wherever Emilia is, she will suffer again, and the world will know her face through those amplified photos."

What Aleigha said took Lainey by surprise, and she was at a loss about what to do next now. Aleigha waited patiently.

After a long time, Lainey let out a

long sigh, "Before your mother married Marcos, the Mccall family was much stronger than the current Gardner family. Your grandfather kept a low profile and seldom interacted with those influential families in town. Later, Marcos had acrush on your mother at a party and chased after her for a long time. Finally, your mother agreed to marry him. Back then, I had been a girlfriend of Marcos for many years, but he married another woman." This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Lainey lowered her head to wipe the tears.

"Miranda got pregnant soon after the wedding. Right then, the Mccall family had some trouble in business, and Marcos volunteered to help. Your grandfather handed nearly all his property to Marcos to solve the problem instead of helping the Mccall family out, Marcos took

possession of that wealth privayet

and tied to others that he lost all capital. Your grandfather went broke overnight and had a stroke out of rage. Your mother was near the time of labor, and I got pregnant then. Marcos was greedy and coveted those real estates and antiques left behind. He set up another trick to strike down the Mccall family. However, your grandfather didn't sell those real estates and antiques but left them to your mother at his dying

bed."

Aleigha listened silently, and her heart was filled with hatred. This story about the Mccall family was out of her imagination. The Mccall family was not ordinary, but Marcos always defamed her mother to have only a humble background.

"You know the rest of the story. Because of that legacy, Marcos always defamed your mother and was not good to her. Distrusting Marcos, your mother divided the legacy into two parts. Marcos managed to get one part, and the other part will lie at your after your marriage. That's one of the

reasons why Marcos was anxious to

get you back here, and the other

reason was to steady the Xiao family."

Aleigha smiled coldly, "How scheming you are! No doubt, your contributions to the tragedy of the Mccall family can't go unnoticed. Lainey, you have only yourself to blame today. What your daughter experienced isn't what you deserve? Believe me, you are still far away from the end of punishments."

Aleigha turned around and left Lainey behind, sighing.
