Domineering Lover novel Chapter 1268

As soon as she saw Aleigha, Brenda recognized her. She twisted her slender waist, walking forward, ready to give her the warmest welcome.

"Brenda? Let's find a quiet place and I'll talk to you."

Aleigha's face was cold, and her tone was very stiff.

Brenda felt puzzled. "Who's got this little bird's feathers all ruffled? Jeez, I don't wanna have to deal with a barrel of gunpowder on the first day I open up."

"It is quiet enough here and we can talk if you want to." Brenda faked a professional smile and said perfunctorily.

Aleigha raised her eyebrows and glared at her. However, she deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Do you want me to talk about the murder here?"

"Murder? What murder?" Brenda's eyes widened as he stared straight at Aleigha.

She knew nothing.

Seeing her like this, Aleigha knew what to do. "Just take me to a quiet place. I have something to ask you and I'm hoping to get some answers, satisfactory ones."

Brenda's faint-heartedness ever since childhood had made it impossible for her to even fantasize about committing a murder. Hearing Aleigha's words, she knew what she wanted.

Looking around, the waiters were all busy. Only then did she get up and take Aleigha to the lounge in the back.

"Now, Miss Gardner, tell me what you came to tell me." Brenda clearly didn't have the first clue about what the murder was about.

But she did know that there was a certain report in the news not long ago.

"I will go straight to the point. My godmother had a car accident after she came out of your club."

"There was something wrong with her car's brake system. I have a surveillance video in my hand."

"Since the last place she visited is here, you know what to do, right?"

Brenda rolled her eyes and said with a smile.

"I might be in charge of this place but I am also working on a salary here."

"Alright, if that's the case, I'll have to solve this in another way. But do mark my words, remember to look over your shoulders."

The smile kept straying on Aleigha's lips. She got up and walked out. However, before she could take a few steps, Brenda held her back.

"I need you to protect me if I work with you."

Brenda was a smart person, despite her dumb appearance. She knew how to protect herself from this.

Therefore, she had always tried to play dumb with Mrs. Hammond so as to make sure she would stay safe.

"Rest assured. As long as you have nothing to do with my godmother's death, I will protect you."

Brenda smiled happily and returned to her previous foolish appearance, "I'll need one day."

"And after that, I'll give you the perfect answer. By the way, I'll fetch you a present."

"But you do realize it comes with a price, right?"

"Give me your account number. I hope this present won't disappoint me."

Walking out of the club, it was close to lunchtime. Aleigha looked at the time and went to Adrian's company in high spirits.

Without Aubrie waltzing in the company, the air in the company seemed even sweeter.

Adrian was reading a new contract when Aleigha pushed the door open and went in, causing his

brows to knit.

"Mr. Xiao, would you like to have lunch together?"

His slightly twisted eyebrows instantly loosened when he heard the sweet sound like a silver bell.

A smile formed on the corners of his mouth. "Are you buying, little Aleigha?"
