Domineering Lover novel Chapter 1286

Aleigha looked at the news on the mobile phone and the picture in which Darien tried to shield his face with a risen hand.

The reason he'd be doing so when the picture was taken was that he was now being said to have slammed the door on a reporter wishing to interview him, whom he later shook a fist on.

"Knock knock knock," the knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. The secretary came in with a person behind her.

"Miss Gardner, there's a lawyer here to see you."

"A lawyer?"

"Leave us, I'll call you in when you are needed."

The lawyer sat opposite her and seemed to be very familiar with the business. He took out a stack of documents from his briefcase.

Then, he spread them out one by one. "Miss Gardner, here's a document involving an entrust and ones involving a certain granting."

"Entrust? About what? I've not entrusted anything on anyone."

"You are the side receiving the entrust, namely the entrusted party, from Mrs. Liberty Taylor."

"Is that name supposed to mean something to me?"

"As far as I'm concerned, it is, since Mrs. Taylor is now still Mrs. Fulton, Mr. Alexzander Fulton's wife."

Aleigha suddenly understood and took over the files. She was scared to death when she scammed through it.

It was practically a will, leaving all Taylor's property to Aleigha to dispose of it on her behalf.

Her children could inherit the whole property, but the property could also be equally distributed by Aleigha.

And should Aleigha be competent to distribute it fairly, she was to be somehow awarded.

And the award was clearly documented in the other document, stating that the award was to be the 99-story building downtown called Plenilune.

Plenilune was built five years ago. It was located in the center of City A and also the highest building in City A.

Over three hundred of the top-notch companies in the world were located in it and everything anyone could possibly ask for is already in there.

It was the symbol of City A, but also the private property of Mrs. Fulton. The Plenilune was the name she personally chose.

As the name implied, the building would remind her and anyone who thought of it of a full moon rising from the sea, carrying the endless nostalgia and reminiscence.

"Why would she entrust me with such a... task?"

Aleigha was confused and repeatedly read the documents.

"She clearly said that you are a woman of great wisdom and can tell right from wrong."

"And that you are much more reliable than mere gold-diggers. And at last, she said, you are in no urgent need of wealth, thus the absence of personal greed as you proceed the said task."

"What you are in urgent need of, however, is the recognition of the world around you because you married into the Xiao family not by selling yourself but by proving yourself capable."

Aleigha pressed her lips. She was inexplicably moved. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Fulton, who she had seen twice, knew her the best.

"But, I can't possibly accept such a heavy gift."

The lawyer smiled and said, "I presume you remember what Mrs. Fulton said about her past with Windy, don't you?"

Aleigha nodded.

"Mrs. Fulton almost died in an accident when she was young, and Windy saved her.

"And hence the scene today, right now. You are not being given this, mind you, only because Mrs. Fulton takes a fancy on you but rather because she trusts in your ability to pull it out."

"Let me think about it. Let me calm down for the time being. I'll contact you in a few days."

The lawyer packed up his things, left his contact information and the copies of the documents, and then left the company.

For the whole day, Aleigha was in a state of stupefaction. It wasn't until Adrian came to pick her up that she came to her senses.

As soon as she got on the car, she couldn't wait to hand the documents to Adrian. "What do you think Mrs. Fulton means?

"Does she not believe in Alexzander, or does she have other intentions for me, or use this way to achieve her purpose?"

"Mrs. Fulton's parents' house used to be no inferior to the Xiao family in City A."

"Her father moved all his business to Fripdence, leaving only a few real estates behind in City A."

"In recent years, Mrs. Fulton came back frequently and did a lot of things in a low-profile in A city, but Alexzander didn't know at first."

"He only got to know it from Valentino's wife recently."
