His Domineering Lover

Marcos flung the newspaper on the tea table to the ground.

Seeing the blurry photo from afar, Aleigha's eyes were still cold, and she only replied calmly, "And who are you to say that 'mysterious woman' is me?" Marcos was stunned.

"Aleigha, I really don't think it's a good idea to be lying to us now. We wouldn't be mistaken, to be sure, especially when it's about you."

"I know that you are still holding quite some grudges because of Emilia, but..."

"But after all, you're a girl. Reputation is the most important thing for you. How can you stay in a man's home like this?"

"Were words like that to be spread out, it would be quite the negative influence on you, wouldn't it?"

"And don't lose your temper because of what your dad says, he's only being so for your own sake."

"For my own sake?"

Aleigha almost couldn't hold back the urge to burst into ironic laughter.

"You can't even see the person's face on the photo, how can you be so sure that it's me?

"And who am I to just be rolling myself into Adrian's bed? Do you think his villa is the zoo or something?"

"Isn't your overestimation of me just so convenient now?"

Aleigha did not want to get into trouble at this moment. She could only try her best to refute. As long as she did not admit it, no one could do anything to her.

As for Marcos, he could be all angry as he liked and she still wouldn't give a d*mn.

Lainey was anxious. This girl seemed to be harmless, but she was very cunning. She couldn't just let her off the hook like this.

"Marcos, I think it might be better if we have someone look into this, lest we wrong Aleigha."

"After all, Emilia will be with Adrian in the future."

At this time, Lainey still did not forget the things between Emilia and Adrian.

Of course, Marcos had a plan in his mind. It was almost impossible for Emilia to enter the Xiao family with her current reputation.

But there was no way that he could bear to give up the marriage with the Xiao family.

Things had been getting harder and harder for the

Gardner family to move along. The only thing he had counted on was the marriage with Adrian.

From which he could get his pocket loaded.

"Have it looked into? As if it's not humiliating enough already?"

Marcos was overwhelmed with anger just now but on second thoughts he realized that Emilia and Aleigha were both his daughters.

Regardless of which one of them married Adrian, it was still a fair deal for him.

When Lainey heard this, she was a bit anxious, but she didn't dare to continue fanning the flames. Marcos was no longer the timid man as he used to be. "Aleigha, it's not that I'm trying to blame this all on you. But I would surely appreciate it if you could pay a little more attention to your reputation out there." Aleigha saw Marcos's sudden change and felt sick.

However, the sulky expression on her face was swept away, and she said with a faint smile, "Dad, I know."

But the headline did make Aleigha put up her guards. She went upstairs and was about to call Lennon.

She was alone now. Other than Lennon, she could not find anyone else who could help her. However, there were some things that she had to investigate thoroughly.

December arrived in the blink of an eye. After Emilia was discharged from the hospital, she was off school at home. Dustin and Charlotte's return date was postponed again. After staying in the hospital for almost a month, Laura was ready to be taken home.

Natasha, Aleigha's dormmate, came back to the dorm with a worried look on her face. Aleigha asked about what happened.

Yet she sealed her lips, revealing not one clue about what had happened.

Aleigha did not want to ask more. She packed her things and was ready to pick up Laura.

"Aleigha, there's a man who comes to me every now and then. I'm so annoyed."

A man?

Aleigha looked at Natasha worriedly, knowing what caused her worries.

"What man?"

Natasha lowered her head a bit and looked at Aleigha with her big black eyes full of tears.

"Don't cry, come on. If there's anything you need, just tell me. I'll help you." Aleigha comforted her.

"The man is called Nolan Reid, somewhat of a local thug with a rather powerful family background."

"I was at a restaurant outside the campus when I ran into him."

"And hence his constant pestering."

Natasha became more depressed as her explanation prolonged, sobbing in a low voice now and then.

Nolan? Why did the name sound so familiar?

"Chill down, I'll see if there's anything I can do." Aleigha, who herself was already deep in trouble, offered compassionately. However, she vaguely felt that Natasha's problem was not simple. There were not that many figures with such strong backgrounds. "Natasha, listen to me. Be careful when you go out these few days. I'll tell you when I think of a solution."

"I got somewhere to be today and I'll walk this through with you when I'm done with my thing."

Aleigha was anxious to pick up Laura, giving her no time to help with Natasha for the time being. "Aleigha, I'm scared, I really am. He knows where my dorm is and even where my home is. I'm so

scared."

Natasha seemed to be unable to restrain herself at all. Seeing her miserable state, Aleigha couldn't bear but had to go.

"Natasha, listen to me. Just give me a day. Give me a day and I'll figure something out for you, I promise you, okay?"

Knowing that Aleigha was about to leave, Natasha nodded and watched her leave with tears in her eyes.

After leaving the school, Aleigha went straight to Laura's residence. Lennon ordered his men to send her back to the Gardner family. However, he did not show up because of something.

In the car, Laura nervously held the child and looked out of the car with a dull look.

"Don't be nervous. Do you remember what I said?"

Laura turned to look at Aleigha. After a while, she nodded and said, "Yes, clear as day."

Getting out of the car and entering the Gardner family, there was no one else at home, only Marcos, who had been informed of their arrival by Aleigha.

Upon seeing them enter, Marcos's gaze was dark as he stared fixedly at Laura.

"For what urgent business of yours have you kept me waiting at home for the whole d*mned day, for Heaven's sake?" Marcos could almost guess what this was all about but still shot out those vicious words to make the two of them feel miserable intentionally.

Aleigha said nothing and pulled Laura to the hall. Laura was so scared that she didn't even dare to take one unnecessary step away from behind Aleigha.

"Have a look at this, dad." Aleigha handed the paternity test in her hands to Marcos.

Lainey had left the country with Emilia for a trip and was not to return for at least a week.

And that offered a perfect window for Aleigha to bring Laura back home.

Marcos took the paternity test and looked at it carefully. His trembling hands were enough to demonstrate the shock and terror he was going through inwardly. Despite the plain expressions on Aleigha's face, her heart was filled with utter hatred. He deserved to die alone.

"A boy?" Marcos suddenly raised his head and pointed at the child in Laura's arms, his fingertips trembling.

Aleigha nodded, and supported Laura to the front

of Marcos.

"Laura, let me have a look at the baby."

Laura didn't know what to do. After thinking for a while, she handed the child over to Marcos.

Marcos had had an abundant amount of women in his life, recently especially. But none of them had ever given to one single boy for him.

He had thought that that was the way his life and his family line were going to end yet life decided to throw another surprise at his face.

It was a son, Marcos's son.

Marcos was so ecstatic that he didn't even know how to hold this child.

"Just look how thrilled dad is, Laura." Not one of either Marco's expressions or movements escaped the eyes of Aleigha.
