His Domineering Lover

If Perla still had the bracelet, it meant she never wanted to sell it.

Perla knew that Aleigha missed her mother, so she used it to blackmail her.

"Well, then I'll just sell or break it. Don't regret it.

"It was your mother's favorite. I heard your grandfather gave it to her.

"There's only one in the whole world. If I break it..."

Perla raised her eyebrow triumphantly, and then deliberately dangled the bracelet in front of Aleigha.

Aleigha was annoyed, but there was no expression on her face.

"My mother's been dead a long time. What am I supposed to do with this bracelet?

"This will only upset me. If you like it, keep it. But I think this is quite valuable.

"Since you're poor, sell it."

After that, Aleigha closed the window and ignored Perla.

Perla panicked. Did this girl really not care about the bracelet?

"Mom, she's lying. She just wants you to sell it so that she can buy it back. Don't fall for her traps."

Samantha knew how smart Aleigha's mind was. Perla might be fooled by Aleigha, but she was not.

Hearing this, Perla calmed down. She knocked on the window and said with a smile, "Aleigha, you don't have to lie to me. I'm not a fool.

"How about this? I'll give you a day to think about it. I'll give it to you on my terms."

After that, Sean got out of Aleigha's way.

Aleigha was in turmoil as she left.

"Mrs. Xiao, are you gonna tell Mr. Xiao about this?"

The driver had been in the Xiao family for many years, and he had seen what happened just now.

"Don't tell Adrian for now. He's been really busy lately. I'll handle this."

For most of the day, Aleigha seemed distracted. The jade bracelet kept coming back to her.

It was like her mom was reminding her to get it back.

However, she didn't want to give Perla what she asked. She wanted to get rid of them forever.

In the afternoon, Adrian drove home.

"You were absent-minded at lunch. Did something happen?"

Adrian asked in a gentle voice.

Aleigha came back to her senses and smiled. "I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."

Adrian looked at her and stopped asking.

After dinner, Aleigha went to wash up. Adrian had Phoenix come to his study.

"What did they do today?"

"They stopped Mrs. Xiao's car this morning and then disappeared. I heard they were talking about a bracelet."

A bracelet?

Adrian immediately understood why Aleigha had been distracted all day.

He knew how much Aleigha loved her mom. That bracelet must meant something.

"I see. I'm going to Jaidyn tonight."

When Aleigha came out of the bathroom, she saw Adrian changing his clothes.

"You're going out?"

"Yes, I have a last-minute appointment with Jaidyn. I'll be back in a moment. Wait for me at home." Aleigha didn't think too much about it. She nodded like a lamb, walked to him and kissed his lips.

After Adrian left, Aleigha lay on the bed and stared straight at the ceiling.

The past was vivid in her mind. She thought of her mother, her grandmother, and everything.

After all she had done and gained, she couldn't even get her mother's favorite back.

Was money, fame, and position more important than her mother?

Adrian went to Jaidyn's villa.

As soon as he came in, he smelt a faint fragrance.

He was sensitive to fragrance, and he knew it was a smell women liked.

As expected, when Jaidyn came out, he saw a girl behind him.

He didn't know her, but she looked like a sight for sore eyes.

The point was, even Adrian couldn't hate her.

He thought of the first time he met Aleigha.

"This is Kianna Watts, this is Adrian Xiao."

Jaidyn looked at Adrian and hurriedly looked away.

A meaningful smile flashed across Adrian's cold face.

"You're Adrian Xiao? They say you're an iceberg! Wow, I think you're a handsome inceberg."

Jodie glanced at Adrian and turned to look at Jaidyn. There was obvious affection in her eyes. "Cough, cough, cough."

Jaidyn walked into the living room.

"Am I disturbing you? How about I come tomorrow?" Adrian asked as he stood at the door. "It's okay. You think I wanna see your ice-cold face every day?"

Adrian frowned slightly and subconsciously reached out to touch his face. "Is my face

unpleasant?" Content bel Sol.net

Seeing him come in, Jodie went to the kitchen to get coffee.

"What's the matter?"NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"It's about Aleigha."

"Enough. Aren't you powerful? Why do you always come to me for help?

"She's your wife, not mine. If you divorce her and marry her to me, I'd love to help her." Jaidyn said gruffly.

He watched Adrian's face out of the corner of his eye.

As he expected, Adrian's face darkened. He was really like an iceberg right now.

"You say that again, I'll have your company out of here in a year. I promise."

"Is that your way of asking someone to help you? Wow, turns out you're not a big person.

Kianna happened to hear Adrian as she came out with coffee.

She walked up to him, put the coffee in front of him, and retorted angrily.

Jaidyn sat there, laughing.

Adrian was furious. He glared at Jaidyn and asked, "Who is she? She eats with that mouth?"

"Don't forget you're a gentleman." Jaidyn shrugged, his face full of indifference.

"Hey, mind your words!" Kianna was mad and glared fiercely at Adrian.

Adrian glanced at her and looked at Jaidyn. "There is a diamond factory in South Africa.

"I found out it belonged to Lennon. The profits are very considerable.

"After he inherited the property, it became his most important source of income.

"I can take it from him. Are you interested?

"When it's done, we'll split the profits 50-50."

"50-50? Since when do you do charity?" Jaidyn' eyes suddenly sparkled.
