His Domineering Lover

The atmosphere was subtle.

Aleigha had known Emilia would put her on the spot, but she was surprised at how she started it.

Marcos's reaction was understandable. He didn't like this daughter anyway.

"I just happen to know Lennon Landry. No playboys."

Aleigha explained in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Lennon? The boy from the Landry family? How did you know him?" Dustin asked.

He had heard of Lennon, one of the most promising heirs to those distinguished families.

Although among the younger generation, Adrian was the most outstanding one, Dustin didn't like him for his arrogance.

Dustin had met Lennon a few times and had a good impression of him.

"I just have a nodding acquaintance with Mr. Landry. He sent me home last night."

Aleigha said nothing about their cooperation.

"Lennon is a good boy, but since you're engaged, you should be more careful with your behavior in the public." "I don't want to hear anyone say the daughter the Gardner family is dissolute." "Yes, grandfather."

Aleigha felt a bout of sickness when she called Dustin grandfather.

The Gardner family was no longer as influential as it had been.

Many families had surpassed it, which was why Dustin attached so much importance to Aleigha's engagement to Adrian.

He wanted this marriage to make the Gardner family prosperous again.

Aleigha pretended to be ignorant and naive, but actually, she was calculating too.

She must maintain good relations with Adrian, who made her useful in the Gardner family.

Different from her last life, Dustin was much nicer to her. He gave her a card with no spending limit and asked her to buy things she needed.

Emilia's face reddened with anger when she saw Dustin hand Aleigha the card.

She was the most favored daughter in the family but she had never been given a card like that.

That kind of card was very hard to obtain.

Emilia glared at Aleigha silently.

Aleigha sensed her gaze and was very glad to see her provoked.

In her last life, she had led a frugal life. All her clothes had been those Emilia had worn and later despised.

Emilia had laughed at her for that and no one in the Gardner family had taken it seriously.

She remembered once she'd come into Adrian and Aubrie in Emilia's clothes which had a little hole on the elbow she hadn't notice. The embarrassment was vivid till this day. She hadn't even had any allowance at that time.

Looking at the card in her hand, Aleigha found it very ridiculous.

When she walked into the stores of luxury brands in that crinkled dress Lennon had bought her, the service assistants expectedly gave her the cold shoulder.

But when she bought racks of clothes, their jaws dropped in astonishment.

Aleigha was determined to change herself and restore her confidence.

She had never tried high heels but today was especially interested in them.

She walked into a high-end shoe store and picked a pair of high heels that looked both fashionable and comfortable.

"Could you get my size for me?" She said to the service assistant.

"Are you sure you want it?" The service assistant asked in a dismissive tone.

Aleigha raised her eyebrow. "Yes. What's the problem?"

"I'm afraid you can't afford it. This pair of shoes is a limited edition. I'd advise you not to embarrass yourself."

"Thank you but I want it."

Aleigha's voice was firm.

"Seriously? It's not funny. Go. I don't time to play with you."

The service assistant rolled her eyes.

"Since that's the case, I have to ask your manager to get my size."

Aleigha didn't intend to soften her attitude. She liked that shoes very much.

"I'll call the security."

"What's the noise about?"

A man came in right on cue and from the nametag on his suit, Aleigha knew he was the manager.

"Speaking of the devil. I have some trouble buying the shoes I want."

The manager's eyes flickered between Aleigha and the service assistant.

"What can I do for you?" He asked carefully, gesturing at the service assistant to leave.

He wasn't sure what had happened but saw the card in Aleigha's hand, the value of which was at odds with what she was wearing.

No matter what, a girl with that kind of a card wasn't someone he could afford to offend.

"I like these shoes. Could you get me my size?"

Aleigha said plainly.

"I'm afraid your size is not available today, because I'll buy every size of that shoes."

An arrogant voice sounded.

Aleigha looked back and saw Adrian and Aubrie.

She frowned a bit. Adrian had been indifferent to Aubrie that day but now they looked very close.

"Oh, it's you."

Adrian said nonchalantly, but his eyes were tightly fastened on Aleigha.

He had been sleepless last night because of her, but she was here shopping, seeming to be in a good mood.

"Adrian, isn't this the girl I met that day?" Aubrie was confused. Adrian had looked so concerned about Aleigha that day but now they were like enemies.

"Go ahead. Take all the sizes. I've change my mind.
