His Domineering Lover

Emilee spread out her hands and showed Aleigha and Tanner a note with a phone number on it.

"Like you said, he did fall for my little angel of sister." Tanner joked as he looked at Aleigha.

Aleigha slightly frowned and handed the two documents to Tanner. "Look at these."

"You can turn in the letter to whoever that is the most convenient for you to reach. As for the recording, I think you are gonna have to call in for a favor from your people in Fripdence. And, just to be clear, I just want Raquel and Lauren to pay blood for blood. As for the rest, I don't care about their dogfight."

Tanner looked at these things, and his eyes were full of interest. "You are not the culprit of these things, are you? They do remind me of a certain person though."

Aleigha was stunned and looked at him in confusion.

"The moment we hand in these things, the bestcase scenario is that Alexzander and Valentino had a complete falling-out, if not the complete down- cast of Alexzander. And as for what will happen to Valentino, well, I'd have to give it to you,

I've never seen a woman as cruel as you."

A praising smile strayed Tanner's lips as his lips relaxed in compliment. There was an utter pleasure in his eyes. Suddenly, Aleigha suddenly realized something, got up, took away the documents, and walked

out.

Back home, Adrian was in the study. Aleigha pushed the door open and jumped into his arms without saying anything.

She buried her face in his neck and said after a long while, "It was you, wasn't it? You asked Brenda to give me the evidence, didn't you? I'm such a fool to think that it was my luck that led me to such important evidence. Why didn't you tell me, Adrian?"

Adrian gently stroked her smooth long hair and said with a chuckle, "You wanna get your revenge, am I supposed to stand aside and just watch? And if I had to tell you and brag about such a small favor, wouldn't that make me a bit petty?"

"What are you talking about, being petty?" Aleigha was amused by Adrian's childish words.

"Did it go well today?" Aleigha nodded. "It went well. Thanks to Emilee and Tanner, Lauren and Isaias are already starting to fall apart."

"Well, don't just focus on your work. You should also pay attention to your body. I'm going on a business trip for a few days. Do take care of yourself, alright?"

"Okay, don't worry." Not two days later, Adrian left, and Aleigha personally saw her off. As for Emilee, she also got in touch with Isaias.

Emilee set a date with Isaias and Aleigha went along with her.

When Isaias saw Emilee, his eyes turned immediately lit, not paying the slightest to Aleigha at all.

The three of them talked happily.

"Isaias, how much do you know about the Hammond family?" Aleigha asked suddenly.

"The Hammond family? I don't actually know about the others except for Lauren. But the older Hammonds are rather on good terms with my family."

"You know what, I actually heard the most ridiculous thing the other day. There was this dude going on and on about how Lauren is actually not Valentino's real daughter." Isaias was slightly stunned, and his eyes were full of inquiry. "How could it be? Valentino saw Lauren as the apple of his eye. It can't be right."

Aleigha quickly catered. "Yeah, that's what I thought. And this guy said there was this paternity test, that's gotta be false, huh?"

"Paternity test?" Isaias was even more shocked.

"Yeah, this guy even flashed it in front of me but I was quite sure myself that it was fake. There's gotta be someone trying to smear muck on the mayor." Isaias's face was written with doubts. Despite the masquerade he strained so hard to keep up, his mind was being torn apart by doubts and confusion.

"Well, enough for the conspiracy about the mayor, alright?" Emilee chimed in at exactly the right moment, pulling back Isaias's thoughts.

After the three of them parted after dinner, Isaias went to the Hammond family.

Valentino was watching TV in the living room. When he saw Isaias coming in, he thought that Isaias came to apologize to him. However, Isaias pulled him as soon as he saw Valentino. "Mr. Hammond, can I have a few words alone with you?"

Lauren heard Isaias's voice and hurried out. Before she could say anything, she was pulled away by Raquel.

After entering the study, Isaias

hastily closed the door, and his face was full of anxiety. "Mr. Hammond, I've had words coming my way, saying that Lauren is not your real daughter and there's proof to it, paternity test! I was afraid that, whole thing is gonna travel to Fripdence sooner than we

exponet

and then to my father's ears. So what I'm saying this, I guess..." Isaias was perfectly aware that the fate of the two families was closely bound to each other. If anything were to happen to the Hammon family, the Fulton family would be facing tantamount setbacks.

"What!" Valentino seemed not to have heard it clearly. His whole body trembled, which showed that he had heard it and was shocked.

"Mr. Hammond, calm down. I'm just saying 'what if. Our priority now is to find a way to press it all down." Valentino gasped, and his whole body was in a mess.

"How about this, you think of a way to do a paternity test yourself. If it says Lauren is indeed your daughter, then there's nothing else we need to do at all." Isaias didn't dare to make it all sound too clear so as to avoid being inflicted himself.

"That sounds doable. Tomorrow morning, run this particular errand for me, will you, my good boy? For Heaven's sake, it if weren't for you, I'd still be sitting in the living room like an old fool! I owe you one, one dearly for this!"

Isaias nodded. "Mr. Hammond, don't even mention it. And as for what I said the other day, I hope you don't quite take it to heart. Even if Lauren and I don't make it as a couple, we can certainly be friends."

"Surely, son, surely."

As soon as Isaias came out of the Hammond house, he let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not return to Fripdence this time. Otherwise, he would never have the chance to save the day.

The next morning, Valentino handed over the hair samples of him and Lauren to Isaias.

Isaias went to an agency and came

out in more than three hours to report. Looking at the report, Isaias was dumbfounded. Valentino was sitting in the office uneasily, not in the mood for lunch. Everything he had been through and everything he had done was flashing by his mind vividly, making him even more

agitated.

By the time Isaias had hurried over, he felt like his heart was stuck in his windpipe, thumping violently.

"Well? What does it say?" Looking at Isaias, who was holding the test result but remained silent, Valentino nervously spat out.

"Say something, what does it say, for Christ's sake!"

"She... Lauren's... not your daughter. The rumor is true." Valentino staggered and almost lost his balance. Isaias hurriedly held him up. "Mr, Hammond, I think it would be best if we keep this off the radar."

"Off the radar? After being cheated

on for twenty years by that b*tch, wearing that f*cking horn, and after being made a fool of, you want me to keep it off the radar, is it?" Hearing the mayor shouting furiously, Isaias didn't know what to say to calm him down. As a man himself, he knew such a fact was so humiliating that it was second none other things, not to mention it was happening to Valentino, the mayor of the city.

"Mr. Hammond, don't get so worked up. I'll ask my father to help us think of a solution."

"Ha, how thoughtful of you, eh? Telling your father about it? Are you out of your godd*mn mind? Just... Just leave me! Leave me so... I... I just want to be alone now, now leave!"Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Valentino pushed Isaias out of the office and sat alone on the office chair in a daze. His daughter, his Lauren, the girl that had been the crowning jewel of his life was not his real daughter! He had been cheated on by Raquel for over two decades!
