Domineering Lover novel Chapter 1288

A piece of news broke out before dusk that day about a rather malignant incident at a detention center in Putikect Circle.

The person on duty had a conflict with the convicts, and one of the female suspects was violently attacked.

She then died on the way to the hospital. The whole incident was still under investigation.

Aleigha was attracted by this news. After checking, she found out that it was the same detention center that Aubrie was being kept.

After walking out of the bathroom, Adrian saw that she was sitting on the bed in a daze. He smiled and asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

"Aubrie died. She was beaten to death in the detention center she was being held."

"See? That's what I said about her not going to live while the good people don't."

"It's you, isn't it?"

Aleigha suddenly realized something. She threw the phone away and threw herself at Adrian. Adrian reached out to hug her, and his bath towel fell to the ground.

She wrapped her arms around Adrian's neck and narrowed her eyes to a crack, smiling like a cunning fox. "How could there be such a coincidence?

"Tell me, was it you?"

Adrian smiled and didn't say anything. He raised her on top of him. "If it's me, how are you going to repay me?"

Aleigha laughed as she placed her legs around Adrian's waist. "How else do you expect me to repay you since you've already got me on top of you? Or should I get off now and repay you in another way?"

"How dare you!"

Rumors about the raid of the detention center spread all over the city like wildfire.

Almost everyone in A City knew that her mother took a few people to the detention center. They turned the place into turmoil before being oppressed violently in three days.

It was the first time that such an incident took place in City A, causing everyone involved to be under meticulous investigation regardless of the roles they played in the whole thing.

However, no substantial results came out of the painstaking investigation before the two detention center directors involved were sacked.

And the cons who were a part of the incident had their sentence extended, that was it.

On this day, Aleigha was in the company. The secretary came in to inform her that someone was waiting for her outside.

When Aleigha let the man in, she found out that it was Lennon, whom she hadn't seen for quite long a time.

It seemed as though a century had passed since Lennon got hurt last time and left. Everything was now different from when he left.

Upon seeing Aleigha again, his eyes were clear as a lake in the Himalayas, with no more dazzling light in them.

"Aleigha, long time no see." There was a tinge of bitterness in his voice.

"Cut the crap. I don't have time to talk nonsense with people who have nothing to do with me." Aleigha's eyes were cold and her tone was very tough.

"I'm sorry about what happened before."

Lennon whispered like he used to yet it could never sound the same to Aleigha.

After what had happened and what he had done, there was no way, not the slightest chance, they could go back to the way they used to.

"You don't have to apologize to me. Don't you know what you have done? Why do you come here to apologize hypocritically?"

Aleigha did not have the patience to continue talking with him. She turned her gaze towards the window.

"If Adrian hadn't pushed me against the wall, how could I, I ask you, how could I have lost it and lay my hands on you?"

"Aleigha, don't you know that I love you? How can I hurt you?"

"Leave. I don't want this nonsense. Since you view Adrian as an enemy, then you are my enemy."

"Now, just leave, please."

Lennon's eyes were dim as he rose to his feet and walked out.

As soon as he left, Aleigha sat in her chair and was lost in thought.

Lennon was no longer what he used to be. Despite the smile on his face, there was a shred of coldness in his eyes that could not be overlooked.

Results about the assassination on the streets have already come back but Adrian decided to keep it from Aleigha.

After having lunch with Aleigha, he told Aleigha he had to go to a meeting but turned at a corner to head for Darien's house.
