His Domineering Lover

Aleigha raised a questioning eyebrow. "How can you be sure it's Mr. Gardner's child?"

The young maid said in a low voice, "I've seen it."

"You can't tell anyone about this. You know what happens if Mrs. Gardner knows about it."

"I won't, Miss Gardner. I'm not an idiot. I told you because I knew you were kind."

Aleigha's original plan was to hurt herself to make Dustin feel guilty. She didn't expect she would get such useful information.

Everyone knew Marcos was a playboy. It was just that Lainey had been trying to cover it up.

There were always accidents. Marcos probably had no idea that a girl was pregnant with his child.

Didn't Lainey like to play the child card? Aleigha decided to beat her at her own game.

Because of the injury, Aleigha took a week off. The young maid, Ayana, had been taking care of her.

During this period, Aleigha seldom went out. Except for Charlotte and Dustin who often came to visit her, everyone else automatically ignored her.

However, Aleigha didn't do nothing. She watched

Lainey's every move and saw a lot of things.

It was Saturday. Aleigha took the rare initiative to go downstairs and have lunch with the Gardners.

Lainey and Emilia turned a blind eye to her. Marcos occasionally asked her questions, and she'd answer them, but there was a distinct sense of loss in her face. "Mom, did you tell Grandpa and Dad about that?" Emilia suddenly put down her chopsticks and looked at everyone.

Aleigha frowned slightly, but she quickly returned to a calm look and continued to eat.

"Dad, Marcos, here's the thing. I called Adrian yesterday."

As soon as she said that, the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Dustin threw away the chopsticks and glared at Lainey.

"Dad, don't be angry. I did this for Emilia. After all, she and her baby can't wait."

Lainey looked as if she were in a dilemma, and her tears fell down in an instant.

Aleigha sneered in her heart. This woman would have won an Oscar if she had been an actress.

"Why are you so eager to dump this slut on the Xiao family?" Charlotte was so angry that she threw her chopsticks on Emilia's face.

Emilia immediately stood up, and her chair fell to the ground. She looked at Charlotte as if she wanted to eat Charlotte alive.

She hadn't even become Mrs. Xiao, yet she already had the guts to go against Charlotte.

"Emilia, what are you doing? Where's your manners?" Aleigha got up and asked angrily.

"B*tch, shut up. One more word and I'm gonna rip your mouth off."

Emilia was so arrogant that she just thumbed her nose at Aleigha.

"Enough! You guys are just so annoying." Marcos put down his chopsticks to leave, but Lainey stopped him.

There was a flash of smile in Lainey's eyes, but she looked as though she had been wronged.

Lainey was right. Emilia and her baby couldn't wait, neither could Lainey's baby.

They must have planned what happened today.

"Marcos, listen." Lainey looked at Marcos with her eyes full of tenderness.

His anger vanished in an instant, and he sat back down on his chair.

If Lainey had not been so strong in the early years, Marcos would not have cheated on her. She knew too well how to soften a man up.

"Adrian said that if we could cancel the previous engagement, he would consider marrying Emilia."

With a bang, Aleigha's mind went blank. Her legs went soft and she fell down on the chair uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Emilia was so happy that she almost laughed out loud. She looked at Charlotte with ridicule in her eyes.

"Grandaunt, did you hear that? Adrian didn't want to marry Aleigha."

Charlotte was so angry that she could not say a word. She patted Aleigha's back to comfort her.

Aleigha let out a sigh of relief, but she looked so devastated. She just sat there motionless.

Adrian didn't know she was his fiancee, and he must have done it for Aubrie's sake.

However, she still felt very uncomfortable.

No, it wasn't because that she liked Adrian. She didn't like him at all!

She had to calm down. So what if Adrian agreed? She wouldn't give Emilia what she wanted.

"Aleigha, it's okay. It's not Adrian's call. We can talk to his family."

"Grandaunt, you're really funny. Whose call do you think it is? Yours?

"This is ridiculous. A b*tch raised in the barn thinks she's gonna be Cinderella! Someone please give her a mirror.

"Her so-called fiance offered to break off the engagement. What a shame!"

Emilia laughed wantonly and satirized Aleigha as if no one else was around.

Aleigha's hands were clenched into fists. She kept silent and let Emilia mock her.

Dustin got up. Without saying a word, he went upstairs.

"Marcos, aren't you happy? Our daughter's gonna marry Adrian." Lainey pulled Marcos's hand with a smile.

Marcos was full of joy. He patted her hand and said with gratification, "That's great."

"Aleigha, let's go." Charlotte couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Aleigha to leave.

She was really worried about Aleigha.

Aleigha got up, and her body was trembling slightly. She looked as weak as if the wind could blow her down.

Recently, she seemed to have lost some weight.

"Devastated? Then get out of Here! This is not your home, b*tch!

"You think you can do whatever you want because an outsider is on your side?"

Emilia was breathing down Aleigha's neck. It was like she was not gonna stop until she pushed Aleigha to a dead end.

Aleigha seemed to know something, but she was not very sure. She turned to look at Charlotte.

"Grandaunt, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable," she said with a bitter look.

"Aleigha, let's go upstairs. I'll call Ronan." Charlotte looked at her worriedly.

Aleigha nodded lightly. They headed upstairs.

Lainey gave Emilia a look, and Emilia immediately got it. She got up and walked to Aleigha.

"B*tch, let's get even today."

Aleigha was more sure that Emilia said this on purpose. It was a trap.
