His Domineering Lover novel Chapter 1267

Corbin was the biggest shield Valentino had left in A City.

However, he was also the most valued friend of Jaidyn's father. All of Jaidyn's import and export businesses in A City were conducted personally by Corbin.

Corbin might have been involved in the business world, which was something he should not do as a government authority. Yet there was still a bottom line for him that he would never cross.

Therefore, during these years, he lived in peace in City A.

The vehicle stopped outside a relatively prosperous mid-class community in the city.

Aleigha and Adrian got out of the car one after another and walked into the neighborhood.

Corbin was cautious. When Aleigha called him in advance, he originally refused their visit.

It wasn't until she had mentioned Jaidyn that Corbin agreed to meet her.

Corbin had a son who was in college and was excellent in both character and knowledge. His wife was a teacher in the No.1 middle school in the city and her family background was simple.

They knocked on the door, and a handsome middle-aged man opened the door. He was fairskinned and had a hint of a scholarly air about him.

He wore an oriental- style casual suit that extended to almost his knees. Seeing the visitors, he subconsciously pushed his golden- rimmed glasses, which seemed to be a habitual gesture of his.

Then, he smiled and led them into the room.

As soon as they entered the room, Aleigha smelled a faint fragrance of eaglewood. The interior design of the house was oriental-style. It could be seen that the owner of the house liked things in the old way quite well.

The house was cleaned up very neatly. Upon seeing Corbin, Aleigha subconsciously felt that he was a person who had a slight obsession with cleanliness.

"Mr. Foley, we are friends of Jaidyn," Aleigha said with a polite smile.

Corbin looked up at her before walking to the tea table in the living room. It was as if he had not heard her words and was just picking up a cup of tea for himself.

After a while, he opened his mouth slowly. "I have indeed heard of you, even though I am trapped by myself in this room most of the time. Your name precedes you, it does."

Adrian didn't say a word since he entered the room. He had always been a quiet person, so he sat quietly by the side.

"You like tea?" Aleigha said with a faint smile. However, she didn't quite fancy this director of Customs. She had never liked people who spent too much time on beverages.

"I don't really like it. It's just that I do need something to kill time, wouldn't you say so? "

Aleigha didn't follow his words and continued to ask. Instead, she looked around the room and didn't find anyone else.

She realized that Cordin must have told his family to leave for their visit.

"The painting on the wall here reminds me of a painting I have back at home. It's from Monet, isn't it? It looks practically the same as mine."

Corbin's hand paused for a moment before he raised his head to look at Adrian. A sharp glint flashed across her eyes.

"President Xiao, what do you mean? Is there something wrong with this one on my wall?"

Adrian smiled and said nothing, but got up and pulled Aleigha to go outside.

As soon as they reached the door, Corbin caught up with them with a smile on his face. "Hold on, you two. I'm pretty sure we can carry on with the conversation."

"There's no need for that. There's no need to talk anymore," Adrian said with a cold smile. He pulled Aleigh, opened the door, and walked out.

"Mr. Xiao, I can help you with what you ask for."

Corbin hastily whispered in a soft voice, as if he was afraid that others would hear him.

The corners of Aleigha's lips curled into a smile. He looked at Adrian, but she saw that he had a cold expression on his face. He didn't seem to want to stop.

"What do you want?"

Corbin had always been composed, but today, not only did he lose his composure in front of Adrian, he was almost crossing his last bottom line.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. However, he could not do anything to the persons in front of him. This was the first person that Corbin had met in his life that had caused him much chaos.

He now finally knew what the younger generations were capable of.

"You really need to ask?" Adrian turned around, and there was not a trace of emotion on his cold face.

He only started at Corbin with his almost soulpiercing eyes.

Most of the guests here were rich and powerful

ladies.

Before Mrs. Hammond came around, there were some other similar clubs in the city. But after she came to City A, all the others were shut down.

Aleigha had investigated this matter for a long time, but she was not surprised to find out the truth.

Mrs. Hammond seemed to be smart, but in fact, all the things were planned by Valentino, and she was just an executor.

She wasn't cruel enough to do the things needed yet she had to.

The owner of this club on the surface was Mrs. Hammond's younger cousin, a woman who had just entered her 30s. She did not look smart at all.

The waiters were warm and considerate. As soon as they saw Aleigha, they recognized her. One by one, they diligently brought tea and made introductions about the club to her.

"I want to see your boss." Aleigha put down the cup and said coldly.

"Miss Gardner, please wait for a moment. I'll get her for you."

Anyone in the city now knew that Adrian pampered Aleigha to an absurd degree, hence the benefit they could gain by serving this lady right.

Aleigha had no mood to appreciate the club's extravagantness. She sat quietly on the sofa with a cold look on her face.

Brenda was a vain, greedy woman.

She was quite satisfied with the job of running the club since it paid quite well and she had a lot of time for herself because she practically didn't have to do anything.

Yet as the scolding and cursing from Mrs. Hammond grew more and more frequent and as her salary was somehow reduced.

She became more and more disgusted with this place and her cousin who used her power to bully others.

But if she were to quit, she'd have nowhere else to go.

After being spoiled by her luxurious lifestyle, she knew that it would be impossible for her to put up with a simple life.
