His Domineering Lover

Aleigha didn't sleep for a whole night. At this moment, she was so sleepy that her eyelids were twitching. After washing up, she fell asleep on the bed.

Adrian rested at home for three days before he gathered himself and went to work in the study room.

On the way back from the company, Aleigha learned that Valentino had been put under monitoring.

The news came at the right time. All she had to do was waiting for the news about the decision from Fripdence.

In the evening, Woods called. Adrian didn't go with them because he was still recovering from his injuries.

When Aleigha arrived at the Woods family, Woods handed a document to her.

"Aleigha, we just received words from Fripdence. Alexzander was reported by an anonymous tip."

"And after investigation, this so-called anonymous tip came from Valentino. What a load!"

Aleigha looked at the document carefully. After a long while, she said with a smile, "It's quite fast.

It's faster than I expected."

"Godfather, how much do you think this will be a blow to Alexzander?"

"Well, my guts are telling me not much. The higher-ups will surely press it down since it involves too many people."

"Whatever that is going to be punishment for Alexzander will not be severe, at least not on the surface."

"Worst-case scenario, he's gonna be transferred back here. And if he really is, things will be much easier."

Mr. Woods was almost the cleverest man Aleigha had ever seen in her life. Yet this man's intention to be amidst all the struggle had already died along with Windy Woods, so had his heart.

But from Aleigha's appearance and the words she said, he vaguely felt that the death of his wife was not normal.

The people he sent out had been investigating for a long time. All the signs also showed that what happened to Windy was not a simple accident.

Yet he decided to turn a blind eye to all of it since his men had been informing him that Aleigha had been conducting an investigation as well.

Now, Alexzander was reported by Valentino and

there was even a recording that was submitted.

Since that was the case, Mr. Woods could almost be sure that it was not done by Valentino himself, he couldn't have made a rod for his own back.

All this indicated that Aleigha succeeded. She found evidence and pulled Alexzander and Valentino into the mire.

"Godfather, justice demands a fair trial and a fair outcome."

"There are always ways to make him get what he deserves, trust me."

Freddie had not seen Aleigha for a long time.

After his mother's funeral, Aleigha had not come to the Woods family for a long time.

Seeing her today, Freddie was quite morosely surprised to see how dejected she was and that she was not that child always smiling. "Aleigha, stay with us for dinner today. Fred, you go and bring me the bottle of wine I saved. I'm feeling like some wine today." Aleigha revealed what Raquel and her daughter had done on the dining table, causing Samuel and Freddie to sink deeply into silence. After a long time, Freddie said in a low voice, "Aleigha, thank you. My mother's soul could finally rest in peace." Aleigha nodded in silence.

"Come on, that's all behind us now, right? It is, the way I see it."

"Windy, you see, do you see now? Ah? Aleigha here, aye, your little girl Aleigha, she's avenged you! She has, hasn't she?"

Spurting out the words in a frenzy, Samuel burst into a long, heavy, and almost delirious series of laughter.

Samuel's hands, which were holding the wine glass, kept shuddering.

This was the first time for Aleigha, and also the only time that she saw the tough officer cry.

His face was twisted in a most distressing way as tears rolled down his wrinkled cheeks. Yet weird enough, he was making no sound at all.

Freddie also cried. He poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head, chugged it. Then he leaned over the table and cried so hard that a shudder ran right through his body.

Aleigha sat there in silence, her tears falling down like beads broken off from a pearl necklace.

The Woods house, which used to be the safe and warm safe haven, was now shattered to pieces.

Before long, the transfer order of Alexzander was issued. The higher-ups in Fripdence had given up shielding him, making the last compromise as to transfer him back to City A.

Valentino's situation was not good

as well. He kicked his own wife and

daughter out of the house. Then things went right downhill for him after the inspectors dug out tons of dirty laundry about him.

With the newly appointed mayor being pulled down and a new mayor no one had ever heard of, every single one who had ever done the slightest evil deed in City A kept having nightmares throughout the nights.

As for Raquel and her daughter, Aleigha just sent them to Mrs. Fulton.

Valentino and Raquel were secretly divorced, so Mrs. Fulton naturally did not know. However, Valentino's report caused Alexzander to lose his power in Fripdence.

The fury in Mrs. Fulton's heart

because of the previous incident was still burning fiercely and now the flames soared right up to the sky since the Fulton family had become the laughing stock of the city because of the report letter.

There was no way she'd spare Raquel and her daughter now.

Aleigha didn't want to dirty her hands.

In a blink of an eye, it was March, and the flowers were blooming marvelously.

The Xiao family was ushered in a happy event for the first time.

The dissolute young master of the Xiao family, Darien, got engaged, and the bride was Aubrie.

When they received the notice, Aleigha and Adrian were eating Cantonese food in a restaurant.

"What the..." Aleigha didn't even know what response she should be having to the news.

Adrian couldn't help but laugh when he saw how surprised she was. "Well, not our part to say their taste is weird, is it?"

Darien's engagement banquet was held on the first Saturday of March.

They booked a chartered plane for every guest to attend the party on a remote island. Aleigha and Adrian, naturally, would go, but not on their plane. Compared to the warm weather at home, it was very hot on the island.

Before leaving, Aleigha was dragged by Adrian to Country F to buy a large suitcase of summer clothes.

Of course, a great proportion of the clothes were bikinis, which made Aleigha a little bit confused.

Were they going to attend the engagement party or their personal trips?

It was the first time for Aleigha to be on a remote, pristine, and brilliant island.

She went to the beach for basking in the sunshine.

Adrian brought her around the entire island and within two days, both of them were tanned.

On Saturday, before the party, Aleigha met Aubrie in the hotel.

Aubrie was no longer arrogant as she was before and there was almost no malice in her eyes as she looked at Aleigha.

'Aleigha, long time no see."

Witnessing Aubrie suddenly being all gentle and approachable, Aleigha couldn't adjust herself to it. She could only force out an awkward smile.

"Since we don't really have anything to say to each other, I don't see how not seeing each other for a long time would matter."

"Well, with that being said, we are a family from now on, or should I say we soon will be? Anyway, we'll be seeing a lot of each other in the future." Aleigha smiled faintly and didn't say anything. Just as she was about to leave, Darien walked over.

The moment he saw Aleigha, the smile on his face deepened. "Well, if it isn't my dear sister-in-law, ah? I do quite miss you!"

Sister-in-law?

The word sounded especially harsh and piercing when Darien was the one spitting it out.

"Right, maybe. Excuse me."

Aleigha turned around and left. In her heart, she still remembered how Darien had injured Adrian.

And she was determined, come what may, to return this little "favor".

At lunch, the relatives of the two families were all present. And Aleigha finally met the mother of Aubrie.

The famous socialite in City A.

She was over 50 years old, but she was still as beautiful as she ever was. There was not even one trace of wrinkles on her face.

Standing in the crowd, she was even more dazzling than Darien's mother.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

For Aubrie, the people in City A had already known who she really was. All of them were in utter awe for how despicably capable this young woman was.
