His Domineering Lover

"Aleigha, how could you be so cruel?"

"I'm not being cruel, it's just that I don't wanna be charging into a known death trap for your daughter."

"And this is a country of rule of law, I think you, of all people, should know what your daughter has or has not done."

"The only reason you are asking me to do this is that you want me to take the fall for your daughter."

"I'm not the same stupid girl I used to be any more so you might as well save your time and work on something more solid to get your daughter out of this."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aleigha turned around and went into the room, slamming the door shut.

After lunch, Aubrie's mother came again, but Aleigha simply shut her door and refused to see her.

In the afternoon, the police had gathered enough evidence, and the poison was indeed brought by Aubrie.

As to where the evidence came from, no one knew.

In the evening, Aleigha and Adrian returned home by their private jet.

After two days of jet lag, news about what happened during the party broke loose in City A in no time.

When the semester was about to begin, Aleigha's company had received two contracts that were worth a lot.

One was from the Empire Group and the other from a company in Country I.

At the same time, there was a major fire in a factory that was owned by Adrian abroad.

The factory, which cost more than hundreds of millions of dollars, was burned flat to the ground overnight. The project that was relevant to it also came to a halt. Adrian left to deal with it, yet something happened back in the headquarters while he was absent.

On this day, when Aleigha came back from the company, Phoenix told her about Adrian's company.

They had lost quite a few projects, causing them to suffer grave setbacks.

Adrian was kept abroad so Aleigha had to deal with it herself. Yet instead of going back to the company immediately, she took a trip to the Empire Group. Jaidyn just came back from abroad. Before he took the time to go home, he found Aleigha sitting charmingly in his office.

"Hi, Mr. Galloway, long time no see."

Jaidyn's eyebrows twisted and his head began to ache. He sat down on the chair and said, "Well, there must be a pretty good reason you are here, little jinx." "You are indeed perceptive. I've always known you are so."

"Well, what I want is for you to go to Adrian's company with me and blow some whispers into some people's ears."

"Whispers as in?"

"As in the company's impending downfall and your potential willingness to buy the company off."

"The maybe throw in a little bit description about how the company had lost billions and billions of dollars in the previous projects."

"And aside from that, you can tell a few people there about how Adrian won't be able to pay off his mortgage even if he sells all his houses."

Upon hearing this, Jaidyn looked at Aleigha and remained silent for a while. He had heard about what had happened recently.

But judging from the things he'd heard, it could in no way mean total destruction to Adrian's company, unless somebody was being naughty. And the trick Aleigha proposed must have her own scheming in it.

"And why do I smell the good of cunning of yours here?"

Aleigha smiled lightly and said nothing. She made a hush gesture and blinked her beautiful eyes.

"Tomorrow is a good day. Why don't you make your visit tomorrow? I'll be waiting."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Stepping out of the company building, Aleigha went to Adrian's company.

Sure enough, without the leader, the whole company was in a desperate air.

When the secretary caught a glimpse of Aleigha, she hurriedly rushed forward, saying, "When Mr. Xiao left, he said that you shall be fully in charge of some of the documents." After taking over the documents, Aleigha looked at them carefully and immediately said with a smile, "Let these people come over. I'll listen to their opinions."

After a while, the minister of the sales department and the minister of the strategy department walked in.

At the sight of Aleigha, the two sophisticated men first let out a long series of flattery before cutting to the chase.

"Well, madam, this is certainly quite tricky for us as well."

In short, they wouldn't do it.

"Since you can't handle it, summon the deputy directors."

The secretary summoned the deputy directors of two departments, and the directors instantly tore off their masquerades.

The director of the strategy department came all the way up the ladder from a mere employee and was highly appreciated by Adrian.

In the past few years, as the company grew stronger and stronger, he became more and more arrogant.

After a few of his demands for a raise were granted, he had become more and more greedy.

Adrian had always been generous to his subordinates, thus the uprising of all his capable men.

Yet this certain director was now

pushing it too far. With Adrian

absent, he even got the idea that he no longer needed to focus on his job.

In the face of Aleigha, he was not afraid at all.

After the two deputy directors came in, Aleigha nodded slightly and looked at the two of them, pointing to the documents on the table.

"Go through them and tell me if it's doable or not."

"And remember, speak frankly and straightforwardly."

The two deputy directors picked up the documents and read them for a long time. Then the deputy director of the sales department said, "This is an emergency event within our business scope."

"It does look tricky, there's no denying that. But it's totally doable. All we need to do is put in a little bit more focus."

"That is to say, you can solve it, right?"

The deputy director nodded but a trace of timidness flashed across his face.

"Then you are now the director of the sales department from this second on. I'll inform the HR department about it later."

The deputy director of the strategy department also opened his mouth and said, "I can also finish it,

As soon as she finished speaking, Aleigha called the HR department personally.

Five minutes later, the director of the HR department came personally and stood in front of Aleigha respectfully.

"These two gentlemen here have been too capable to be humbly working at our company."

"Run the procedures and see them off."

"With all due respect, madam, I don't think you have the say in this. Mr. Xiao will decide whether we will leave or not."

Aleigha raised her eyebrows as she looked at the two of them. Her gaze was calm and tranquil, just like how Adrian looked at people. "Well, then I will get Mr. Xiao on the line right now and see what conclusion he comes to."

The call went through. Adrian was at the scene of the accident.

"You can do whatever you want. I believe in you. Thank you, Aleigha."

The two former directors were dumbfounded on the spot by the outcome.

Never in their wildest dreams had they thought that Adrian would leave such a gigantic company in the hands of a mere college girl.

What are you waiting for, a glass of wine to send you off? You are dismissed."

After the news of the sacking of the two directors was spread out, the whole company went into an uproar.

It had only been two days since Adrian left, but Aleigha had fired two important department heads. This was unprecedented.

The next morning, Aleigha met Jaidyn who came to the company downstairs.

Along the way, the two of them chatted.

As soon as they entered the office, Jaidyn began to explain according to what Aleigha had told him yesterday.

Of course, Aleigha played along as she had planned. The people who listened in on their conversation leaked the information in no time.
