His Domineering Lover

"You got way more clothes than you can possibly wear. I'll take some of them." Samantha felt nothing was ever fair in her life as she lifted her hand to grab a piece of clothes. Aleigha looked at her coldly and did not stop her.

The dress was given to her by Adrian. There were seven or eight more from the same season, all limited edition.

There was probably not even an identical one in the country, much less in the city. Aleigha seldom wore them so the tag was still on.

Since Samantha liked them, she would let her have them.

After trying one by one, Samantha realized that Aleigha's wardrobe was like a treasure vault.

Greed made her forget everything, so she went back to her room with the booty happily.

Anything she laid her eyes on, be they jewelry, clothes, or purses, she took them all back with her.

Seeing that she was almost ecstatic, Aleigha was quite satisfied as well.

As a result, something happened the next day.

Samantha went out to wander around on her own, holding the pocket money that Charlotte gave her and went to the shopping mall to stroll around.

As she passed by Adrian's office, she happened to meet Adrian, who was out on business.

Adrian, who was already furious about Aleigha not showing up as she was supposed to, burst into outrage as he saw the clothes.

Now that he saw another woman in the clothes he bought for Aleigha, wearing the jewelry he bought, and holding the purse he bought. The anger in her heart became more and more intense, and she ordered people to block Samantha in the toilet of the shopping mall. And then he ordered again that Samantha be stripped naked.

In the end, Samantha had to call the driver of the Gardner family to pick her up.

Knowing what happened, Aleigha laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She didn't expect Adrian would go this far.

Samantha was frightened and went back to the house to cry for an entire day.

When Aleigha came back, Charlotte told her everything.

"Such a poor kid... Yet it was, to be honest, quite within my expectations that she did something like this."

"But who did this to her, anyway?"

Aleigha received Adrian's call before she came back, so she naturally knew about it.

"Exactly, no matter how insensible Samantha is, she is still a girl, how could anyone be so cruel to have done this to her?"

Aleigha wanted to laugh at how unlucky Samantha was to have run into Adrian.

At the end of the month, the Xiao family's banquet was temporarily postponed.

When Emilia heard that the banquet was delayed, she erupted with anger.

On the weekend, Aleigha wanted to sleep in nicely to relax and prepare herself for the coming week.

"Was it you who did it, you hillbilly? Who else in this family would be bold enough to do it?"

"You disgusting redneck, take it out, now!"

Emilia's curse resounded throughout the whole house. Aleigha sat up grumpily, rubbing her eyes.

"No, it was not me! And I'm not the redneck, I don't need you, a f*cking dirty used sl*t to be telling me that!" Samantha cursed back.

Upon hearing that, Aleigha frowned slightly.

Samantha's words were bound to hit Emilia where it hurt the most.

"Despicable tramp, I'll kill you!" Emilia stuck out her stomach, shouting out as she charged against Samantha.

Aleigha opened the door and saw two people fighting on the platform on the second floor.

Dustin and Charlotte had gone to the church early in the morning, so they were not at home now.

"You used sl*t, tramp, a tramp that no one would want!" Samantha kept on cursing as she beat Emilia.

Aleigha felt a headache coming on. "Can't you lower your voice?"

When she saw Aleigha, Emilia was even angrier. "Aleigha, look at the b*tch you brought back. She is as cheap as you.

And so was your mother, f*cking birds of a feather! That's what you are!"

A hint of coldness flashed across Aleigha's eyes, and she walked forward step by step.

Emilia went crazy on Samatha, not knowing at all that Aleigha was coming close.

By the time she realized it, Aleigha was already standing behind her.

"Aleigha, what are you doing? You wanna fight? Do you dare touch me? Come on, hit here, aim straight!"

Emilia stuck out her belly, which was already bulging and she looked determined.

Naturally, Aleigha ignored her yelling. Suddenly, she reached out and directly pinched her chin.

Emilia was stunned. In that instant, even her breathing became difficult.

"You can say whatever you wanna say about me but I warn you and I warn you only once, make no mistake, the next time you say anything like that about my mother will be the last time you can talk!" Aleigha's hand was so strong as if she was going to tear off her chin.

Emilia couldn't say a word and could only glare at Aleigha.

"Now, remember that, and remember that well." This was the first time that Aleigha gave Emilia a warning openly.

Since she knew the cause of her mother's death, she had lost a lot of patience.

"There goes the tramp, trembling!" Samantha said, gloating.

Aleigha suddenly let go of Emilia and slapped Samantha in the face.

"The same goes for you, you troublemaker."

Samantha knew that Aleigha was really angry.

Aleigha's eyes were cold as she turned around and left, but she had already tried her best to hold back her emotions and stopped them from bursting out at this time.

At noon, Emilia broke out again in front of her family. Marcos was entering the door with Laura.

When he heard her complaints, he rushed over and gave Emilia a few slaps right across the face. If it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant with a child, he could've killed her right on spot.

Of course, the reason why Marcos treated Emilia in this way was that Laura also contributed a lot.

Seeing her daughter being beaten, Lainey was also angry but didn't dare to say anything. She silently held her daughter in her arms as she scowled motionlessly into the void.

By the time Dustin came back home, the tides had already receded. Though everyone had their own thoughts going on deep down, none chose to show any of it.

Two days later, Charlotte woke up all the people around at 5 o'clock in the morning.

When Aleigha went downstairs, she saw Charlotte sobbing in Dustin's arms.

"Aleigha, have you seen your grandma's emerald necklace?" Seeing Aleigha, Lainey directly asked in a loud voice.

Grandma's Necklace? The necklace that her husband left her?

Aleigha shook her head.

Lainey looked at Samantha again, with doubts in her eyes.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't know anything about the necklace."

Samantha naturally didn't know.

Lainey sneered. "That wouldn't stop you from taking it, would it?"

"That's enough! I haven't had a day's peace in this house ever since I came back here! Now, search each and every one of their rooms!"

Dustin treated everyone equally, showing no partiality.

After half an hour, the search ended to no avail.

"Forget it, just forget it. Maybe I left it somewhere I forgot. I have to attend Windy Woods's banquet today. Now, leave me."

Banquet? Samantha's eyes lit up and her gaze fell on Aleigha.

Aleigha met her gaze with an indifferent glance, then turned around and went upstairs.

She did not think that the necklace was left somewhere else by Charlotte. It must be in the Gardner house. It was just that whoever took it didn't wanna bring it back out at the moment. Every woman of the Gardner family was invited to the banquet by Windy.

Most of the people there at the banquet were women from either powerful or noble families.

Ever since the incident that happened to Emilia, Lainey hadn't been to a banquet like this for a long time.

She knew she had to dress up and be the most attractive one at the banquet so as to get over with the previous gloomy state she was in.
