Domineering Lover novel Chapter 1203

As Aleigha arrived at the police station, she went right ahead to Arthur, who told her all about what had happened during the interrogation the night before.

"I'm afraid she won't speak it out easily. Now we need to get the witness back as soon as possible."

Aleigha nodded. She clearly knew in her heart that couldn't bring Lainey down with this one single blow.

At noon, Charlotte came with Windy and asked about the details of the situation. Then Windy left.

Aleigha looked unhappy. When she returned home, Dustin stopped her.

"Aleigha, the Xiao family will hold a banquet on the weekend. Adrian might propose to annul the engagement that day."

"You can take Emilia there to finish it off. I don't really feel like seeing the Xiao family now that we ourselves are a mess."

She had long been informed about the Xiao family banquet. Though it had been postponed quite a few times, she knew this time it was happening for real.

She realized whatever it was between her and Adrian should come to an end.

"Yes, grandpa, I got it."

Aleigha wanted to go upstairs. She did not have the mood to chat with Dustin anymore.

"Aleigha, though marrying into the Xiao family is now more likely a lost cause, you can consider the Woods family. Windy has been talking to me about her intentions more than a few times."

"Charlott has been worried that you might not like it, so she kept it from you."

"My sweet girl, there are things in life that are just not meant to be. And in your case, it is Adrian."

"So don't dwell on it. You are a Gardner, probably the best one there is. And that means you don't necessarily have to end up with Adrian Xiao."

Yes, what Dustin said was quite true, despite the fact that it was also rather harsh.

Aleigha knew that Dustin was comforting her. With a wry smile, she nodded and went upstairs.

What she was worried about was by no means the matter between her and Adrian. She only wanted revenge.

She couldn't live with herself now that Lainey and her daughter hadn't got what they deserved and Marcos was still on his high horse, all cocky and

arrogant.

On the third day, Marcos came back, and he had lost a lot of weight. The past three days must have been a living hell for him as well.

On the fourth day, reports about Lainley murdering Aleigha's mother and her cheating were on the front pages of each and every media in the city.

Among the reports, there was even some dirty laundry that Aleigha herself had never heard of.

Aleigha suddenly was reminded of the kidnap not long ago. She couldn't let it just pass so she contacted Adrian.

Adrain wanted to talk face to face and she had to comply.

When they met this time, Aleigha refused to have dinner together. Hence, the two of them found a coffee shop.

Adrian was in a good mood when he saw Aleigha and thought that he could cancel that ridiculous engagement on the very next weekend.

Yet he was quite taken aback by how gaunt Aleigha looked.

"Adrian, what did you do with the one who tried to kidnap me?"

Adrian was slightly shocked. He replied, "Dealt with, that's all you need to know. Why?"

"Nothing, I'm just asking. Since you've already dealt with him, it's okay then."

"Aleigha, I want to tell you something," Aleigha looked at Adrian in confusion.

"I was engaged before, but I don't like the woman who I have never met in the Gardner family."

"I've always been compromising since it's what the elders of both the families want. But this weekend, I'm canceling the engagement."

"Fine," Aleigha thought, "The woman you've never met is sitting in front of you."

"Dumb fool."

"Fine?"

"That's all she got to say?" Adrian thought to himself.

Adrian was a little unhappy. He took her hands and said. "Aleigha, you know what I'm thinking, right?"
