His Domineering Lover

The ceremony held by the Xiao family tonight was a grand one, and all big shots in the city attended it.

The highlight was the announcement of the engagement between the Gardner family and the Xiao family.

It was 8:30 p.m.

Adrian appeared and got full attention.

Emilia stood in the crowd, downcast. She put her hand on her bulging belly and drowned with a sense of inferiority.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Adrian in a suit looked sharp and hot tonight. His eye expression was cool, and his voice was low and somehow husky. He made a brief speech, and the ceremony came to a climax.

"Thanks for your coming tonight. I would like to make myself clear tonight that I can't accept a marriage with a total stranger. I wish the Gardner family could understand me, sorry. Now, I announce that the engagement between this unknown Miss Gardner and I is invalid."

This announcement embarrassed the Gardner family.

Adrian would never resign himself to adversity. He put off the announcement until tonight because of Aleigha and the notoriety of the Gardner family.

All guests were stunned by this announcement.

Pursing her lips, Emilia looked at Adrian intently and affectionately.

She heard it clearly that Adrian emphasized that he didn't know this Miss Gardner.

In another word, Adrian was kept in the dark that Aleigha had been her fiancee?

Emilia was so excited by this discovery that she gripped Lainey.

Thrilled by the same discovery, Lainey felt her heart beat fast, 'So, Adrian didn't know Aleigha?'

"I agree. They are grow-ups now, and we can not decide their lives at our wills. I respect Adrian's decision, and wish him to find his fate soon."

Dustin walked onstage in spirits, and there was no dissatisfaction nor resentment in his attitude.

Adrian was confused, as the Gardner family had hankered after this connection with the Xiao family.

Then, Dustin produced the old engagement pact and tore it apart before Adrian.

All was over now, and Adrian felt relieved.

"Wait, I have something to say." Lainey walked

onstage.

Adrian frowned, and a hint of grimness flashed past his eyes.

"My daughter is pregnant, and Adrian must take the responsibility."

Lainey put all her eggs in one basket and determined to get Adrian to her son-in-law.

Like a bolt from the blue, the guests were struck dumbfounded a second time.

Sneering coldly, Adrian would like to enjoy the show hosted by Lainey and Emilia.

Pursing her lips, Emilia was worried that Lainey had been too impulsive and hesitated about whether she herself should go to the stage. Her love, Adrian, was there. Only if she went up to assert emphatically that Adrian was her baby's father, no one would doubt her.

There came clamors of comments.

Lainey winked at Emilia, and it took Emilia some time to make up her mind.

The guests looked at the bulging belly of Emilia on the stage, discussing how many months she had been pregnant.

"Look, everyone, this is my daughter. Adrian is the father of the baby in her belly."

Dustin was not new to this awkward situation, and

he didn't bother to stop Lainey and Emilia, who brought disgrace to the Gardner family.

Before entering the banquet hall, Aleigha met Lennon, and the latter gave her a paternity test report.

Things turned out as she had expected, and Aleigha curled her lips into a smile.

To avoid any unnecessary trouble, Lennon went back into the banquet hall as soon as possible.

Aleigha went to the hall later and hid in the crowd.

The stage had the full attention of all guests, some of whom enjoyed the farce, some were angry, and some felt pity. Aleigha took the chance to have some food and drank some champagne, which made her feel full now.

'Aleigha?'

Charlotte was at a loss whether to cry or laugh when finding out that Aleigha was helping herself in the food section. She caught the hand which tried to reach for the desserts, "Little girl, why are you late?'

She didn't miss the part that Dustin tore apart the pact.

Charlotte nodded, and her eyes couldn't help turn to Lainey and Emilia on the stage.

"Let them make a farce. Here you are, and I will leave it to your decision."

Charlotte checked the report, got shocked by the contents, and became furious.

As Lainey tipped, Emilia began to sob on the stage like a deserted wife.

Someone was driven mad, for example, Marcos.

Instantly, he felt deeply hurt and flew into a rage!

"Aunt, are you serious?"

Marcos dashed onto the stage to get the paternity report, but Lainey got it before he did.

Lainey was confused, as she never doubted that Emilia was Marcos' child.

"Marcos, this can't be true. There must be something wrong."

Lainey was dumbfounded at the report, where showed the parents' names and the result.

It is impossible! No way!'

Marcos grabbed the report. Then, his eyes turned crimson, and he slapped Lainey hard on the face.

This move set the hall in uproar.

Dustin couldn't stand it anymore and left without any hesitation.

The Gardner family? Reputation? Face?

There was nothing left.

Aleigha had enough food and felt high spirit now. She squinted to enjoy the good show on the stage.

"I am done with my words. And I don't mind leaving the stage to the Gardner family."

Adrian lost his interest in the farce. He was anxious to see Aleigha and keep her informed of what happened tonight.

All of a sudden, a burst of exclamation broke out in the crowd.
