His Domineering Lover

"What are you all doing, standing there like a bunch of fools? Take her away. As for you, Raquel, Valentino can talk to my husband himself about all this messed-up incident." Mrs. Fulton took her daughter out. When they reached the door, she stopped.

She looked back at Aleigha, who was sitting next to Adrian. Her eyes were filled with an inexplicable cold light.

After Mrs. Fulton left, Mrs. Hammond got up, and the female guests also bade farewell to her one by one at the sight of this situation.

Aleigha was quite satisfied with the stun pulled out to sabotage the whole banquet.

"Let's go." Adrian pulled Aleigha and walked out, with Jaidyn following behind.

Mrs. Hammond suddenly leaped up from the ground, as if none had just happened that made her devastated.

"Aleigha, it's you!"

Aleigha turned around inexplicably, and her eyes were full of innocence.

"It's you who hired the reporters. You're the one who exposed everything, aren't you?"

Mrs. Hammond had always believed that Adrian would never do something like confronting a woman. This whole clown's play must have derived from the jealousy of Aleigha. "Me? I didn't do anything. You were the one doing the dance in this whole show, aren't you?"

"I haven't even Adrian for a whole week, for Chris's sake!"

"How could it be me? Mrs. Hammond, you overestimate me too much."

The three of them left the villa and Jaidyn took his leave. Since the job was done, he was not interested in seeing the two of them sticking to each other.

Returning to the Xiao family, Adrian couldn't wait to carry Aleigha upstairs. He stripped off her gown and pushed her into the bathroom.

In a week, he was almost out of his mind. He dared not to contact her or even show up.

He did all of it for today. Although he didn't know what Mrs. Fulton would do, the result was satisfying enough for him. He didn't want to mess with Valentino at this time. Because he didn't wanna stir up more waves for the time being.

"Aleigha, when are you going to do something to Valentino?" Adrian gently stroked her perfect collarbone and asked softly.

Aleigha closed her eyes slightly and said slowly, "In these few days, I have to make sure that everything is foolproof."

"Aubrie is sure gonna be dealt with by Mrs. Fulton. And if she doesn't, I'll figure out a way myself."Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Adrian chuckled and his hands began to move up and down, causing Aleigha to shudder and giggle.

After the sex they had both longed for, Aleigha fell asleep whereas Adrian went to his study.

Phoenix stood in the study.

"Thank you for your hard work in the past few days. But, be honest with me, are you having any feelings for her as well?"

Adrian sat on the chair and looked at Phoenix.

Phoenix had been following him for more than ten years, and he was loyal to him. Because he had a similar figure to him, they could hardly be told apart from behind.

Therefore, Phoenix helped Adrian take care of a lot of things, and he even saved Adrian several times when he was trapped in danger.

For Adrian, Phoenix was not only his subordinate, but also one of the few brothers that he valued.

"President, don't worry. I'll take care of it."

Phoenix was a man of few words. Adrian had long been accustomed to his silence.

"Phoenix, you've been by my side for many years. You're not young anymore. If you like her, go ahead. You don't have to worry about the Fulton family, as long as Aubrie is willing." Phoenix looked up at Adrian, his eyes glinting with an unknown light. After a long while, he said,

"Thank you, President."

Three days later, New Year's Eve.

The Xiao Family began to liven up. The elders of the Xiao family all gathered at the house. Darien also came back with his father.

As their newlywed daughter-in-law, Aleigha took care of the family dinner party.

And Adrian, out of the blue, was there to help her with it.

"Aleigha, my parents are probably not gonna be here for the party. So it's just gonna be a bunch of uncles and whatnot."

"My mom never likes parties like this. You are quite like her in that way."

Aleigha placed the cutlery on the table. Adrian said as he picked up the forks and knives to examine, causing Aleigha to have to rearrange them," "Adrian, can you just... not cause trouble for me for a minute? You are wrecking this whole thing, for God's sake!"

Aleigha had never seen the elders of the Xiao family, so she was a little nervous. And this dinner party meant quite a lot to her.

"What are you afraid of? I've got it all covered. Come on, I'm feeling naughty." Adrian said as if the servants coming and going didn't exist.

He directly picked up Aleigha and walked into the bedroom.

"Hey, wait, let go. Do you know what time it is?" Aleigha was so angry that her face turned red.

Yet her struggling and beating didn't work.

"But I just want to taste you 24/7. Come on now, this'll be very quick."

Aleigha naturally knew what he meant by "very quick". She was so angry that she rolled her eyes.

And by the time they finished, the dinner was only half an hour away.

She really admired this man's superhuman stamina.

Aleigha whined in pain. Her back ached and she changed into her new gown and put on simple makeup.

There were a lot of elders in the Xiao Family, men who had their own businesses in other cities.

And when it descended to Adrian's generation, only Adrian and Darien stood out from the others.

Compared to Adrian, Darien was more or less a despicable scoundrel, given the assassinations he set on Adrian.

And he'd done quite a few nasty things, working with the Landry family.

After what happened earlier, Darien had made too many moves recently. He was coming to the dinner party with his father.

And only two of Adrian's cousins showed up at the dinner party.

They acted quite absurdly shy in front of Adrian.

Adrian respected these elders and did not comment too much on them. However, since they had arrived on New Year's Eve, their motive was self-evident.

As for Tracey and Adam, since their children grew up, they ran around the world.

His two sisters had their own lives and wouldn't come back to check on him at all. The burden of the whole family was on Adrian's shoulders.

His profit from the company, which he started from scratch, was surely beyond imagination.

People were all born greedy. Who wouldn't wanna take a share from what Adrian had built himself?

There were even some relatives that Adrian didn't even recognize.

The banquet was held in the main hall. There were five tables full of relatives. Half of the guests were Adrian's uncles, and the rest were their family members.

Aleigha sat at the head of the table with Adrian.

"Long time no see, Aleigha. You've gotten even sexier." Darien was a person who spoke without restraint.

Despite the smile on his face, Aleigha knew what he was thinking about and plotting in his mind.

"And you are still quite sharp-tongued as ever, Darien."

Aleigha catered to him with a faint smile, but the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl up with sarcasm.

Darien would never learn his lesson.

The dinner was rather smooth. Some people talked about the business in the middle of the dinner, but Adrian brushed it off lightly.

He was not an easy-going person, and being respectful to the elder was the last mercy he could deliver.

After dinner, the guests left one after another, leaving behind a lady with her daughter who insisted on staying for the night. Adrian had an impression of this lady. She lost her husband years ago and she had to bring up her daughter all by herself. Though the whole Xiao family was quite wealthy, it almost had nothing to do with her.

Being seated at the corner of the hall, she fell like she was inferior to others.
