Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 27

Alvin ran and kept up with her.

Adriana suddenly stopped and turned around to look and Alvin, sighing, “Alvin, I’m a married woman and that man is my husband. You’d better not come to me again so we can avoid unnecessary trouble.”

She kept her voice down and only the two of them could hear what she said.

Alvin’s smiled stiffly. He tried to say something but didn’t know what to say.

Adriana turned around and left. She went back to her room and lost sleep all night until the next morning when she finally fell asleep.

In the afternoon, the cruise ship returned to port and Adriana left directly without saying anything to Alvin.

She had a break for half a day and went back to Hale Cobb Group the next day.

She spent her whole morning on office business. Then her assistant, Vivian walked in and said, “Ms. Hale, the president of Alston Group is here.”

Peter?

What would he come here now?

“Send him in.”

Peter walked into the office and looked at Adriana wryly. He took a look around the office and sat on the couch without saying anything.

Adriana got a little bit nervous as she saw Peter.

Maybe it was because Peter knew about her secret or maybe it was because of what happened between Peter and her, Adriana couldn’t help getting anxious every time they met in private.

“What can I do for you?”

She walked up to her and asked.

The man crossed her legs and sat there like a king who owned the world.

He looked at her coldly and noticed that she was uptight and acting weird from the look on her face, “Are you afraid of me?”

Adriana looked away and avoided any eye contact. She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out with her arms around her chest, “Since I’ve made a promise, I’ll definitely do it. But we’ve still got a lot of things to deal with in our company. Please give me a few days to handle everything and I won’t stay here afterwards.”

At the beginning, she didn’t even plan to go back to Waverly.

Who knew that Anne would insist on leaving the country and she had to go back to run this company? She couldn’t just leave the company in the hands of others.

“I’m here to talk about the acquisition.”

“Acquisition?”

Adriana abruptly turned around and stared at him in shock, “What do you mean?”

“The fastest way to make sure you will leave Waverly as soon as possible is to directly acquire Hale Cobb Group.”

He had been thinking that Adriana could be a threat to him if she stayed here.

He was crystal clear about how Alvin felt about Adriana.

Plus, Luis had been nagging Peter to bring Adriana to him these two days, which made Peter felt that he couldn’t keep her here anymore.

The best plan was to make sure she left Waverly as soon as possible.

“Well…” Adriana hesitated for a second and shook her head, “no way.”

She worked so hard to found Hale Cobb Group. Even though Anne’s shares of this company were small and Anne wouldn’t say anything if she sold the company.

But she tried so hard to have a career. Adriana couldn’t just sell it.

“$30 million for Hale Cobb Group and you can leave right away,” the man flung the contact onto the table, “your company can’t even make $30 million in ten years. For the sake of you and Theresa, this is the biggest compromise I can make.”

What he meant was that this $30 million was her last choice and everything else was off the table.

Of course she didn’t get a chance to fight back.

“Peter…”
