His Domineering Lover

Valentino sat in the office for a day.

Anger, sadness, disappointment intertwined with one another in his heart, laying on layer by layer, covering and burying the faith and pride he had held so dearly for his whole life.

Seeing the expression on Raquel's face that was so ingratiating and the charming smile on Lauren's face, which used to make him so refreshed and warm, he felt the scar on his heart that had just started to heal was torn open yet again.

Sitting on the sofa in a daze, he watched dejectedly and morosely as the two women were flashing at each other the luxurious things they had purchased during the day.

"Raquel, in the twenty years we've been married, is there anything you have lied to me about?" Valentino looked at Raquel.

Looking at the frozen smile on her face, he didn't try to comfort himself anymore.

"Valentino, what's wrong with you? Why do you ask such a question all of a sudden?"

Raquel saw that something was wrong with Valentino and quickly walked up. She had never avoided acting intimately in front of Lauren.

Hugging Valentino's arm, she acted like a spoiled little girl.

Valentino turned to look at her, and the more he looked at her, the more depressed he felt as the shame of being cheated on kept weighing down on him. Therefore, as his anger and sorrow finally mounted to its apex, he grabbed the ashtray on the tea table and smashed it at Raquel.

Everything happened so fast. Lauren watched her father smash the ashtray at her mother.

Before she could stop him, Raquel had already fallen to the ground.

"Liar, you've been lying to me for more than 20 years. Tell me, who does this b*stard belong to? TO WHOM?"

Raquel's face was hit by the ashtray. Luckily, it was on her face. If it was on her head, she would have already died.

Her face was burning with pain, and she was in a daze for a moment. It was not until Lauren screamed and rushed over that she came back to herself. "Dad, what are you talking about? What are you doing?"

Raquel was perfectly clear about what he meant. She knew that it was just a matter of time before she couldn't hide it any longer. But it didn't occur to her that it would be this soon. "What am I doing? Why don't you ask your mother what she has done? After all I've done for you two..."

"And you two! How dare you, how dare you lie right in front of me while I provide you with the best life you could ever dream of?"

"And all these things, ridiculous purses and dresses you've bought with my money!"

Valentino's anger, which had been held back for an entire day, was finally released.

He rushed to Raquel and her daughter, pulled Lauren and lifted his leg to kick Raquel's body.

No matter how crazily Lauren tried to stop him, it was of no use.

Raquel gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound. She didn't even shed a tear.

"Not making a sound, ah? Still acting tough? Right, al- f*cking- right, you vile, stinking, disgusting wh*re! I'll let you know the consequences of deceiving me!"

With blood-red eyes, Valentino grabbed Lauren's hair and dragged her into the bedroom.

Raquel suddenly realized something and struggled to get up, but she saw the bedroom door being slammed shut.

Her heart as though stopped pounding at all.

Raquel gritted her teeth and got up. She ran to the door of the bedroom and rammed on the door desperately, "Valentino, calm down, we can work this out!"

"No matter how angry you are, that's still your daughter."

"She's done nothing wrong, has she? You can't, Valentino!"Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

In the bedroom, Lauren's shrieking kept bursting out like waves in a tsunami as Valentino kept on raining slaps on her.

Raquel was so flustered that her whole body was shaking. She ran to the kitchen and took out a knife and chopped the door of the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, it was a scene of misery. Lauren had been beaten up by Valentino so badly that she was completely naked, her clothes scattered around in a mess. And blood kept oozing out from her body, staining the sheets.

Lauren's vision was blurred. She only felt a sharp pain in her lower body, a excruciating pain. Yet she could not make a single sound.

After an unknown period of time, there was no movement in the room, but the sound of Raquel chopping at the door was still going on and on.

Raquel was sobbing outside the door. She did not stop crying until Valentino opened the door.

"Piss off!" Valentino snatched the knife from her hand and kicked her away with one foot. He went to the kitchen and drank two glasses of water in succession.

It was almost a sleepless night. At dawn, Valentino drove Raquel and her daughter out.

Everything happened so suddenly that Raquel was caught off guard. She thought she had seen through Valentino, but she didn't expect him to be so cruel. After a night, Lauren seemed to have lost her soul and followed Raquel in the cold wind.

"Lauren, don't worry. I'll find a place for us to go. Don't worry, mom's here."

Raquel didn't have the time to bring anything with her except her cell phone when she was kicked out of the house.

In City A, she had no relatives or friends.

Valentino might have been

determined to kick her and Lauren out but she knew that she was lucky enough to still be alive. As long as that was still the case, there was still a glimmer of hope.

However, Raquel did not know who to call.

Until now, her brain was empty. She couldn't figure out what part was wrong and how everything was leaked.

Aleigha got on the car to go to the

company and was caught up at a traffic light, Just as she was impatiently waiting for the light to turn, she saw Raquel and Lauren walking like two corpses

Sing the

street.

At this time, most of the people were still in a dream. If she was not in a hurry to get the anonymous letter done, she would not come out so early. However, judging from the fact that they were only wearing such thin clothes on a cold day, she knew something must have gone down.

Aleigha had a rough idea about what had happened as she asked the driver to pull over.

"Mrs. Hammond, what are you doing?"

Raquel was just worried about where to go. Now that she saw Aleigha, she gritted her teeth and forced out a smile.

"Miss Gardner, I wonder if I can get in the car for a ride?"

"Of course you can. Come on up."

The corners of Aleigha's lips turned slightly upward as she watched the two get on the car.

Instead of asking, she asked the driver to head for the Xiao family.

As soon as they entered the Xiao family's house, Lauren began to cry, "Animal! That's what he is! A disgusting animal! I'm gonna kill him!"

Raquel hugged Lauren, who was in a wreck. "Lauren, hush now, hush."

Aleigha looked at the mother and daughter calmly. Then she got up and personally brought them two cups of warm water.

"Mrs. Hammond, have some water. What on earth happened?"

With a morose and somber look on her face, Raquel remained silent, which was the only thing she could do at the moment.

If she had any other choice, how could she have come back here with Aleigha.

"It's family matters. We've made Valentino angry. Sorry that you have to be dragged into this."

Aleigha's face relaxed, and she said with a smile, "Since it's family business, I won't ask too much. You can stay here for as long as you want."

For Raquel, she had not even a shred of gratitude in her heart for Aleigha now. She knew that she would have a chance to get back on her feet.

Despite the fact that Valentino was temporarily infuriated, they were still a couple that had been married for decades. And even if it came to the point that they would get a divorce, she knew she could get a part of Valentino's property.

After the two of them settled down, Aleigha went out.

Before leaving, she said a few words to Phoenix.

The anonymous letter was sent out. After dealing with several company's documents, she returned to the Xiao family.

As soon as she entered the door, she heard the quarrel wafted from inside.

Lauren almost smashed all the things placed in the living room, and Raquel couldn't stop her.

The servants tried to go up to help yet were all yelled at by Raquel. As for Phoenix, he was given the clear order to stay out of it.
