His Domineering Lover

"Of course, he did." For some reason, she felt a tinge of jealousy in her heart.

If it weren't for the fact that she had to deal with Aubrie, she wouldn't have given Adrian's gift to her.

"I knew it was Adrian's idea. I have to personally say thank you to him."

Aubrie looked at the necklace fondly. Throwing every other thing behind her head, she stormed out of the room.

Upon seeing her leave, Aleigha followed her out.

Back in the banquet hall, Adrian and Darien were still drinking. Aubrie rushed in front of Adrian.

All of a sudden, she was about to hug him, but Adrian dodged in time. Darien's face instantly sank.

"Adrian, I knew it, I knew it. Thank you, I like it very much." Adrian was stupefied. It wasn't until Aleigha walked over and shrugged her shoulders helplessly that realization dawned on him. He coughed and didn't say anything.

"What is it? I'd like to see it." Darien had been watching from the side for a long time. One could imagine the feeling in his heart. He opened his mouth and interrupted the interaction between the two of them. "You better be careful." Aubrie handed it to Darien as if it was a treasure.

He had just reached out his hand and wanted to touch it, the box was closed by Aubrie. "Don't touch it."

Aleigha watched from the side and laughed. "Adrian, let's go over there. Don't disturb them."

Adrian understood and pulled Aleigha away from the swimming pool.

As soon as they left, there was a loud sound of falling into the water behind them, and then waves of exclamations resounded through the night sky.

The two men looked at each other and walked up hand in hand.

"My child, my child, save my child. Somebody help her!"

Caroline's mother was lying on the side of the pool, crying at the top of her voice. The surrounding guests were also scared out of their wits.

However, not one single on-looker made a move towards the swimming pool. Darien stood aside, shouting at the bodyguards. The whole hall went into pandemonium.

Seeing this, Adrian looked at Aleigha and saw her nodding her head and chuckling. Only then did he unbutton his shirt, take big strides forward, and jump into the swimming pool. Aleigha also hurriedly followed. She saw Adrian quickly swim to Caroline's side and pick up her thin and weak body.

"It's Adrian!"

Someone recognized the person who jumped into the pool and could not help but exclaim.

Only then did Caroline's mother see him clearly. She was stunned for a while and looked at Aubrie with confusion.

Adrian carried Caroline out of the swimming pool and landed on the shore. Aleigha hurriedly brought over a towel and helped him wipe it.

"Help her, what are you waiting for?" As soon as they came ashore, Darien ordered the others to quickly save Caroline.

Caroline's mother was crying on the side, but there was nothing she could do, so she had to wait for the professionals to come to rescue her daughter. Fortunately, she had not fallen into the water for a long time. Caroline quickly spat out the water, but she had not woken up yet.

Lying motionless on the ground, with his eyes closed and her purple, she looked very abnormal.

"Why is she still unconscious?" Caroline's mother looked at her lying motionless and shook her a few times, but there was still no movement.

"Darien, get someone to take a look. What is going on? Quick, take a look."

"What's going on? What happened?" Darien's mother and her in-laws walked over.

Seeing the girl on the ground, Aubrie's mother was shocked and hurriedly hid in her husband's arms.

"What's the hell's going on?" Darien's mother raised her voice by a few degrees as she sternly asked.

"Start talking." Darien ordered the nurse standing aside.

"It's... it looks like she's poisoned." The nurse was brought over on such short notice that she couldn't be sure about anything.

The only reason that she came to the conclusion was the fact that Caroline's lips were abnormally

purple.

"Poisoned? How could she be poisoned? Then send her to the hospital already!"

Darien's mother shouted in anxiously. Only then did someone rush in and carry Caroline on the ground away.

In this way, Aleigha suddenly understood what that bag of things was. Fortunately, she was careful enough to have found it.

When she saw that Aubrie wasn't around, she returned to her room. The moment she entered the room, she smelled the unique perfume on Aubrie's body. Although it was very light, for her who was very sensitive to odors, she could still identify it clearly.

"Call the police. This is murder."

Someone made a suggestion.

A fierceness flashed across Darien's mother's eyes. She stared at Darien and said in a loud voice, "Call the police. We have to give everyone an explanation."

"Yes, the police will be here to make the necessary investigation. But as for the time being, I implore that everyone returns to your own room."

After returning to the room, Aleigha told Adrian about the bag that she had found in the room.

"What? Why didn't you tell me in advance about this kind of thing? But you did a good job taking it out."

Adrian subconsciously began searching in the room, and Aleigha went alongside him.

Fortunately, there was nothing else that could make them suspicious in the room.

About half an hour later, someone knocked on the door.

The comer was a local policeman.

After exchanging a few words with him, Adrian learned that Carolinez died on the way to the hospital but her mother insisted that she be taken to the hospital, where her corpse was not being held.

After making an inquiry to Adrian, the policeman turned to Aleigha.

During the period, someone came in and searched the room, but found nothing. Aleigha and Adrian didn't sleep until one o'clock in the morning.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

They slept until noon the next day when they were woken up by a series of brisk knockings on the door.

Aleigha put on her clothes and opened the door. She saw Aubrie's mother standing outside the door with an anxious look on her face.

"Miss Gardner, please help me. Could you please prove for my daughter?"

"Prove? What do you mean?" Aleigha asked in confusion.

"The police found a pack of stuff in my daughter's dressing room, but the assistant said she was with you during this period."

"Because the assistant and the bodyguards were always in the room, and no one else could go in there."

"Miss Gardner, I know this is quite an embarrassing situation but there are no fingerprints of yours on it, you won't get involved."

Aleigha narrowed her eyes and looked at the woman who still had the same charm as before. A touch of ridicule flashed in her eyes.

Despite

bring words she said, she

knew many doubts she would bring upon herself if she were to help testify as someone who had been to the dressing room.

Her words, which would surely exonerate Aubrie, would send herself spiralling down an endless abyss.

"There is a camera in the dressing room, just pull out the footage. Why would you need me?"

Aubrie's mother was slightly stunned. She looked at Aleigha in disbelief.

Being started at like that, Aleigha felt no unease at all. She shouldn't anyway since she'd done nothing wrong.
