His Domineering Lover

Today, Empire was on an equal footing with Adrian's company in City A.

Adrian knew that while his company had world leading technology, it had other weaknesses.

For example, it was not as good as Empire Group in marketing.

That was why he decided to work with Jaidyn. He saw long-term growth, not short-term gains. Aleigha had a feeling that Jaidyn did it in consultation with Adrian.

Because he also announced a couple of big decisions at the press conference, all about Adrian.

Shares in both of the two companies soared after his press conference.

"How could Adrian bear to leave you here alone?"

Jaidyn came out of nowhere and stood beside Aleigha with a glass of wine.

"Why are you everywhere? I think it's time for you to be in a relationship."

Jaidyn smiled and didn't say anything. He looked down at the waving wine, lost in thought.

"Are you familiar with Maurice Faulkner?"

His silence made her think he was angry, so she quickly changed the subject.

"We are only casual acquaintances."

"And he invited you to his private party? Jaidyn, you really don't like telling the truth, do you?" Aleigha glanced at him and continued to eat desserts.

"You don't have to be a close friend to get invited. Maurice just got rid of his biggest problem.

"Now is the time for him to win people over. He's more ambitious than we thought.

"He can be a good friend or a terrible enemy, and I don't want him to be my enemy."

Aleigha agreed with Jaidyn. She silently took a sip of water and looked at Adrian, who was not far away.

"You don't have to worry about Adrian. He knows what he's doing. Maurice grew up spoiled, but Adrian didn't.

"As far as I know, Adrian's parents are very strict with Adrian.

"How do you think he survived in City A if he was a good-for-nothing bum?"

Aleigha once again gave Jaidyn a fierce look. Could the man read people's mind?

Jaidyn just smiled and left with his glass.

Suddenly, he bumped into a young girl.

This girl wobbled. She seemed to have drunk too much. Jaidyn grabbed her, who was about to fall down.

However, the next second, she put her arm around Jaidyn's neck and whispered in his ear. Without a word, Jaidyn picked her up and left. Everything happened so fast that no one had noticed it.

Except for Aleigha. She felt really strange.

Hesitating for a while, she followed them.

Jaidyn carried the girl all the way out of the banquet hall. Aleigha followed them to the parking lot.

She was even more confused.

Then, Jaidyn put the girl into his car. When he turned around, he saw Aleigha.

He beckoned her over.

"Who is she?"

"Someone drugged her. Since you are here, help me keep an eyes on her."

Aleigha nodded. Looking at the girl who was tightly closing her eyes, she frowned.

She touched the girl's forehead. The heat gave her an instant insight into what this girl had been dosed with.

"I think we'd better send her to a hospital. She seems really uncomfortable."

Jaidyn looked at his watch. The party had just begun, and it would be rude if he left at this time.

"I'll have someone send her to the hospital. You go back to Adrian first. He's probably looking for you."

Aleigha had no better way, so she went back to the banquet hall.

She wished this girl would be fine.

Aleigha came back to the party and sat down as if nothing had happened.

"Miss Gardner? I've heard a lot about you."

A man's deep voice rang out. Even though n he tried to look cheerful, he could not hide the languor in his voice.

Aleigha looked at him and then got up with a smile. "Like wise, Mr. Faulkner."

A hint of appreciation flashed across Maurice's eyes. He asked with a smile, "Why are you alone?"

"I don't like crowds and Adrian's talking to someone. It's nice to be here alone with the snacks."

Aleigha gently raised her plate. Though she was smiling, she separated herself from Maurice.

Maurice's heart missed a beat as he looked at her. He had to admit that he was charmed.

He'd been with a lot of women, but he'd never had a moment like this.

However, she was not available. Adrian wouldn't give up on her, and he didn't want to be Adrian's rival.

So he would just ignore the throbbing in his heart.

Still, there was obvious interest in his eyes.

By the time Adrian came back, Maurice was already chatting with his friends. Aleigha was enjoying her desserts alone. "What are they doing here?"

Adrian saw Lennon and Leona not far away.

His face darkened. "He's really amazing. I didn't know he knew Maurice."

"Maurice's now the most influential guy in City A, and he's ambitious. Of course Lennon would do anything to cling to him.

"Now that he wants to avenge the Landry family, he needs the big man's help.

"It's just that his woman is a pain in the ass!"

Aleigha was talking about Leona, who had the thickest skin.

She still came to see Aleigha every day after their big fight.

Aleigha had never seen anyone so eager to be her best friend.

"If you don't like her, leave her alone." Adrian felt sorry for her. She was supposed to be a carefree princess.

Aleigha glanced at him and said with a smile, "Don't you know she did this for you?"

Adrian was speechless. He shook his head helplessly and gently touch the tip of her nose.

When Lennon and Leona came in, no one paid any attention to them. Lennon didn't like such occasions.

He came here just for his family. Leona pulled him in front of Maurice.

An unnatural expression appeared on his face.

"And you are?"

Lennon came uninvited. Maurice didn't know him, and there was a hint of caution in his eyes.
