His Domineering Lover

"Mr. Faulkner, nice to meet you. I'm Leona Woods, and this is Lennon Landry. We're from the Landry family." The reputation of the Landry family was in tatters. Maurice knew exactly how Adrian brought this family down.

"The Landry family? The one went bankrupt?" There was a hint of irony in Maurice's eyes. He narrowed his eyes, looking at them with a faint smile.

It touched Lennon on his most sensitive spot. Being broke by Adrian was the last thing he ever wanted to remember.

It was as if Adrian had trampled his dignity beneath his feet.

The scoff and ridicule in Maurice's eyes hurt Lennon's self-esteem.

"Mr. Faulkner, although the Landry family had been bankrupt, Lennon succeeded to the title abroad.

"At the level he is now, he can be Adrian's equal."

Leona was trying to soften the blow. She knew the most important thing was to calm Lennon down.

"Adrian's equal?" Maurice's eyes grew colder and the irony in them was gone.

Leona raised the corner of her mouth and showed a smile that she thought was charming. "Yes." "Adrian! I hear Lennon Landry is now your equal in City A!" Maurice shouted loudly. There was a hint of gloating in his tone.

There was a burst of laughter in the banquet hall.

It was really humiliating. Lennon gave Leona a dirty look and turned to leave.

"Maybe it's predicting 20 years from now." Someone replied in a loud voice.

Apparently, it was sarcasm.

Lennon was so angry that his face turned red. He shook off her hand and left.

"See? Your problem's gone." Adrian suddenly said.

Everyone was watching the show.

Aleigha smiled helplessly. "Lennon is not my problem. That woman is. She's not gonna leave."

Aleigha's gaze became sharp as Leona approached them. She looked at Adrian and suddenly reached out to hold his hand.

Adrian looked at her hand, not knowing what she was up to.

Just as he was thinking, Aleigha got up and leaned into his arms. She said like a spoiled child,

"Adrian, I'm so tired."

Adrian was all goose bumps up, but still looked at her tenderly. "I'll take you to rest."

"Well, okay."

Aleigha looked externally. Lying in Adrian's arms, she ignored Leona, who was walking towards her.

"Aleigha, Adrian, you..."

Leona walked over happily, only to see them being so lovey-dovey.

She was so angry that she stood there and didn't know what to say. Her delicate make-up looked a bit grim from anger.

When they arrived at the lounge, Aleigha suddenly laughed in a low voice.

"Aleigha, stop acting like a spoiled child. I almost burst into laughter."

Aleigha laughed her head off. "Did you see that expression on Leona's face? I'm so glad I got the drop on her, or she'd be all over us all night. Adrian felt that this girl was awful smart. She could always find a way to deal with people she hated.

"I'm going to say goodbye to Maurice."

Not long after Adrian left, Leona showed up again.

When she saw Aleigha leaning on the sofa, she

got mad.

"Aleigha, how could you make out with Adrian in public? That is really..."

Aleigha looked at her with her eyebrow raised and asked with a smile, "Really what? We're married. Can't we make out?"

Leona was at a loss for words.

"But both of you are public figures. You could have done it at home. I said this for your own good."

"I'm good. I just don't want to see you again, got it? Off you go."

There was an unmistakable coldness in Aleigha's voice.

"You!"

Leona lost her head in anger. The image of their intimate embrace pricked her heart.

"B*tch, you're gonna ruin Adrian."

Aleigha looked confused. "You lost me."

"Don't you know how many women adore him? They're all from powerful families!

"As long as he keeps his marriage a secret, those women will do anything to please him and help him with his career. But he broke their hearts for you!" "Your logic amazes me." Aleigha almost laughed

out loud.

"Why do I feel like you're one of those women?"

"Aleigha, don't you want what's best for Adrian?" Leona couldn't think of another excuse.

"Why don't you tell me what to do?" Aleigha's face darkened and she looked at Aleigha coldly.

Leona was a little stunned. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

Adrian pushed the door open and came in. Seeing his, his eyes turned cold as he strode forward and pushed Leona away.

"Get lost!"

Leona lost her balance and fell to the ground. A sharp pain came from her ankle.

"Adrian!"

The pain made her scream.

A look of disgust flashed across Adrian's eyes. He bent down to pick up Aleigha and walked out.

Leona quivered with indignation. She sat on the floor for half an hour before she got up with the help of the waiter.

Adrian left the party with Aleigha in advance. Before that, he signed an order with Maurice.

This was the first time they'd worked together, so Adrian cut the price to the bone. Maurice appreciated him more.
