Domineering Lover novel Chapter 1262

After staying in the hospital for nearly a week, Aleigha was discharged.

Words came from both the customs and 1.81.

When she got home, she couldn't wait to go to the company.

Because of the injuries she took to the ribs and the other parts of her body, she was made much less mobile.

The men at the customs were Jaidyn's trusted followers, and naturally, the information provided by them

As for the 1.8T, Aleigha had a rough guess about who was the one pulling the strings behind the scene and her conclusion was Mrs. Hammond.

Upon receiving the information, Aleigha was not as excited as she had imagined she would be, given that the outcome was almost identical to what she guessed.

However, after being confirmed, her indignation about Windy's passing away started to stir again.

There was no way she would let Valentino and his wife get away.

She went home for some rest, thinking that Adrian would come back early than usual, given her current state.

Yet he was still nowhere to be found till the next morning.

Aleigha had never suspected Adrian. Even if he didn't show up for a day or two, she definitely wouldn't ask.

At noon, when servants at home had prepared tonic food for her, a call from Mrs. Hammond reached her cell phone.

"Miss Gardner, I've been getting some words that you are not quite well these days. I'm having a banquet held at my place this weekend, any chance you can make it?"

Since she knew she was not feeling well, her invitation sounded like a sheer mockery to Aleigha.

"Well, anyway, I have nothing to do. See you on weekends."

Aleigha answered composedly instead of getting angry, without even a hint of anger in her tone.

Hanging up the phone, Aleigha wiped off the expression on her face.

For three days in a row, Adrian seemed to have vanished from the face of the world. Aleigha couldn't help but give him a call, but it didn't get through.

In the afternoon, the company's secretary called, saying that Jaidyn was sitting in her office.

Rushing to the company, she saw Jaidyn leaning against the back of her chair.

"Aleigha, it's a nice company you got here. Tell you the truth, I had thought it would be a pile of, well, let's say something much worse. And by the way, I'm glad with the 30% you proposed."

There was a touch of warmth in Jaidyn's eyes. He got up and walked to the shelf, pouring himself a glass of vodka.

"I will do what I say. What are you doing here? Just say it!"

Jaidyn shook the transparent liquid in his glass, his eyes calm.

"You think I wanna be here? Adrian told me to come over. He's quite confident in you, isn't he, letting you spend time with me alone."

"You wouldn't dare do a thing anyway," Aleigha replied in a cold voice.

"Aleigha, it seems that you have forgotten what kind of person I am. Need a bit reminder?"

Aleigha shivered and glanced at him.

Even though she had witnessed what this man was capable of more than a few times, she would still fear him from the bottom of her heart.

Even if she couldn't be friends with him, the last thing she would want was for this man to be on the enemy's side.

Fortunately, in a sense, they could still be called friends.

"Adrian has been quite caught up lately and I, as a matter of fact, will be in charge of protecting you from now on."

"However, no matter what happens next, don't believe any of it."

"No matter who says what, even if you see it with your own eyes, do not believe it. Adrian will not betray you."

The more she listened, the more she felt that Adrian was doing something bad behind her back. "What is being kept from me?"

Jaidyn raised his head and chugged down the liquor in his glass, smiling happily as he swayed the empty glass.

"Quite nice stuff you got here. Mind if I take a few bottles with me when I go?"

Shameless pilfering.

"Okay," Aleigha replied with a fake smile.

On Friday, a bomb dropped in City A. A reporter took pictures of Adrian coming out of a hotel with a young woman.
