His Domineering Lover novel Chapter 1253

Aleigha sat on the sofa, shaking her long legs.

"What's the good news?"

Adrian glanced at the sealed file bag and wondered why she was so happy.

"Darien took it from you back then, and I get it back. Am I terrific?"

There was a flash of surprise in Adrian's eyes. He hurriedly opened the file bag, and saw the transfer of shares.

"Aleigha, you're so terrific. But aren't you afraid he'll get back at you?"

"Not at all. I have his Achilles' heel. I deleted it, but I can still recover it. If the Xiaos knew what he had done, he'd be finished."

Adrian threw the transfer aside, got up and walked over.

"Come here. I'll show you something."

Adrian's office appeared to be open and unobstructed, but no one on the outside could see inside.

In fact, there were back rooms in his office. One was the lounge.

The other was a secret room containing very important documents.

He brought Aleigha into the secret room. There were neatly- arranged documents on the two bookshelves.

The cabinet on the left was a display cabinet for guns, while some of his private collections were on the right.

There were not only all kinds of Swiss army knives, but also very rare snuff bottles.

The display cabinet had three stories.

"Wow, you like snuff bottles, young man? I didn't see that coming."

"Some were left by my elders, and some were bought from the collectors."

As he said that, he handed a few documents to Aleigha.

"Look, this is my business in the Middle East and elsewhere.

"Darien doesn't just want my shares.

"What he really wants is my business all over the world.

"He'd impress the Xiaos with any one of my projects."

"You've been competing with him. Why don't you tell your family about your projects?

"You're the one who can make the family stronger. Who don't you say it?

Adrian shook his head and chuckled. He pinched her cute cheeks and said, "Dummy, do you think that I did this just to get the approval of my family?

"You think I care about the Xiao family's business?

"I don't need anyone's approval. The fortune of the Xiao family doesn't matter to me.

"Everything my parents gave me wasn't mine.

"I want to tell everyone I don't live for the Xiao family, though I'm a member of it. I want to make something about myself."

Aleigha understood. She felt a little admiration for him.

"Darien is also not as dumb as he appears to be. There's no such thing as weak in the Xiao family.

"Don't underestimate him. You think he gave the shares to you willingly?

"I'm sure he has his own reasons. Aleigha, I want you to remember one thing.

"You can't believe anyone but me."

Aleigha lowered her eyes, and then nodded. "I'm sorry. I won't make the same mistake again."

"It's okay. You've done a good job. At least you took back the shares. You're the best."

The evening lights were lit.

Aleigha followed Adrian to a private dinner party.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Tanner's face. Adrian was like a god who was looking down from above.

He hurriedly had someone drive the middle-aged man out.

"I thought your parties were always of high quality. Don't invite me if it happens again."

Adrian had always been extremely resistant to attending parties. If he didn't have to, he wouldn't go.

At the beginning of the party, Adrian and Aleigha were sitting in the most conspicuous place.

It was a private banquet, so there was no speech or stuff. People just chatted and drank.

Tanner came to Adrian's table and sat down.

"The man in the black suit is from the military, and he was just transferred to City A last week.

"The year before last, he had a fight with Alexzander. I heard he had a crush on Alexander's youngest daughter.

"Alexzander didn't know it was him, so he had someone break his leg. That was why they are enemies.

"The person he hates most is Alexzander."

Adrian remained indifferent as he looked at the man not far away.

"How did you know him?"

Tanner was a social butterfly, and he knew a lot of people.

"I met him in the desert. He almost died and I saved him.

"I didn't expect I saved such a big shot."

Tanner was smoking, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.

Businessmen were snobs. If Tanner hadn't known about that man's identity, he wouldn't even have invited him.

He did it because he had promised to help Adrian.
