His Domineering Lover novel Chapter 1284

Darien's eyes flashed. The smile on her face instantly disappeared.

"Let's put the matter of Aubrie aside for the time being. You know clearly that I own the Oceanshade but you go out of your way to make trouble for it. Now Maximo's got cornered up by you. So tell me, you really wanna do it like this, huh?"

Aleigha's face was full of understanding. She smiled and said, "It turns out that the big BOSS behind Oceanshade is you."

"If I had known this, I might've set the entry line of the project even higher."

"You!" Darien slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Aleigha.

"Calm down, cousin. It's not like this is the first time you've walked right up into the trap."

"Well just turn a blind eye to it. Like you said, we are a family, right?"

"Talking about how we treat our family, Adrian might seem cold on the outside yet he does treat his family sincerely." "As for you, who has mercilessly put three bullets in Adrian, well, that's another story." "And if that story went sideways, even a little bit, you'd be steering the wheel for the Xiao family."

"Anyway, all in all, you suffered a minor setback, right? No need to come whimpering and sobbing to me."

"Especially now that there's certainly a ton of things you need to be attending to, such as your fiance."

"Pretty sure you wouldn't be able to get away with Caroline's death, would you? Her mother must be seeking revenge feverishly."

Aleigha made Darien speechless, and his face was so angry that it was twitching yet he just couldn't find a word to retort.

"You are still here? Well, it's past lunchtime. You can order yourself something if you feel like it, it's my treat."

"Aleigha, you made me do it."

Darien finally tore off his masquerade. His eyes were filled with a somber and cold light.

His knuckles paled because of the clenching.

"Well, since that's the way you wanna play along, we'll see who's the last one standing."

"You've hurt Adrian, my Adrian, that's something I'll always keep on your tab, mark my words."

"Even if you don't make trouble for me, I'll be coming for you. This is not done."

"Alright, alright. You're a sharp-tongued girl. Since that's the case, let's just wait and see."

Darien slammed the door and left angrily. Only then did the secretary come in timidly.

"Madam, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Don't let this kind of person in ever again.

I might retch at his presence."

"By the way, get someone on Maximo. There's definitely some crumb left behind."

After a busy day, when she returned to the Xiao Family's home, she was surprised to see Caroline's mother at the front gate.

Seeing Aleigha, she rushed over quickly and took her hand. "Miss Gardner,

"Please help me. This is for you. I'm leaving. Please."

The woman left anxiously, looking around as she walked, as if she was avoiding someone.

Aleigha lowered her head and looked at the thing in her hands. It was an old cell phone.

She tried to work it a little bit but found the battery was dead.

Back in the room, Aleigha found a matching charger. After washing up, she had the time to sit down and look at the things on her phone.

Caroline was a very irritable person. She was prone to think herself scheming yet was nothing but a simple-minded fool.

There were a lot of selfies on her phone, and there was only a rather blurry video.

It was shot the night before her death during her meeting with Aubrie.

Aleigha watched it, copied it on her computer, and made an anonymous report to the police.

On the morning of the second day, the news that Aubrie had been caught spread like wildfire.

Due to lack of evidence, she was not sued and paid a large sum of bail to be extradited back home.

Now that another piece of solid evidence had come to light, no matter how much she or her family was willing to pay, there was no way out for her.
