His Domineering Lover

Aleigha and Emilia had been contending with each other since the minute Aleigha walked into this house.

But this time, Aleigha was not going to be pushed around like a hapless coward.

Disguise was necessary, especially when she was tackling such cunning people.

Aleigha didn't answer Emilia but cried louder.

And her cry attracted the attention of those downstairs.

"What the hell is going on?" Dustin roared irritatedly.

This was exactly what Aleigha wanted.

The two of them came to the hall, standing in front of Dustin.

Emilia looked very nervous. The angry Dustin always appalled her even though he was usually a caring grandfather.

Everyone's eyes fell on Aleigha.

"Grandpa, please help me."

Aleigha dropped down to her knees and pleaded.

The sharp pain from both knees stimulated more

tears in her eyes.

"Stop crying. What's it?" Dustin asked.

Aleigha leaned lightly against Dustin's leg and twitched a little. Then she started, "Someone has taken my college acceptance letter." Emilia's face turned pale immediately.

"Why did you say that?"

Dustin solemnly glanced at everyone at present.

"I should have received it long ago so I checked online and found it had been signed for."

Aleigha sniffled and wiped her tears.

"Somebody must have taken it," she concluded firmly.

Aleigha was choked with sobs and stole a glance at everyone around her.

"Someone, go check the monitoring footage."

Dustin ordered the servants with a straight face.

Emilia was about to say something, but Lainey glared at her so she bit it back.

About ten minutes later, a servant came back.

"Sir, we've found it."

Thereupon, Dustin rose to his feet and walked into the monitoring room.

The rest of them waited in the hall anxiously.

When Dustin came out, he looked at Emilia, very disappointed.

"I shouldn't have spoiled you. How could you do that? Return it back now!"

Emilia was aghast and explained hurriedly, "I didn't take anything. It was my acceptance letter."

Aleigha raised her eyebrows slightly.

Or Emilia wouldn't have insisted that the acceptance letter belonged to her.

"It's you! I can believe it!"

Aleigha exclaimed. Next she must make Dustin go into Emilia's room with her.

"Shut up!"

Emilia shouted at Aleigha.

With astonishment, Dustin looked at Emilia. He had never seen her so frantic.

"Grandpa, it's really not me. Don't you believe me?" She said imploringly.

Lainey looked composed.

"You're her parents, so her fault is your fault."

Dustin was burning with anger, shouting at Lainey and Marcos.

They had been unduly doting on Emilia all these years.

Lainey didn't dare to refute and turned to her husband for support.

But Marcos was even more afraid of Dustin and kept his head low. Lainey was dispirited.

She had married him because she was pregnant back then.

And the marriage brought her nothing but notoriety and constraints.

She sometimes hated Marcos for being so ineffectual.

Aleigha's eyes were bright.

She knew Dustin being impartial didn't mean he was on her side.

He just couldn't afford to antagonize her because of her engagement with Adrain.

She was all the stakes he had to make the Gardner family prosperous again.

That was why he had suddenly brought her back.

"Emilia, take the acceptance letter out."NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Dustin said somewhat tiredly. "You're young so I won't blame you."

"Grandpa, I didn't do anything wrong. It's really mine," Emilia insisted.

She was so jealous of Aleigha.

She couldn't bear the fact that a bumpkin could go to college while she couldn't.

Dustin shook his head and walked upstairs without a word.

Lainey put an arm around Emilia and watched him quietly.

They thought Dustin had had enough and was to let it go. Marcos hurried up to lend an arm to his father. "No need. I can go myself."
