Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 41

Peter was standing at the door of ward, looking at Adriana. No one knew what he was thinking about. However, hearing Adriana’s words, he knew everything.

It turned out that the reason she was willing to be a surrogate back then was entirely because her adoptive mother's son needed money for medical treatment, and the adoptive mother even forced her to be a prostitute. She had no choice.

That means the insatiable woman in front of Adriana is pushing her into the bottomless pit to save the son?

And he seemed to have misunderstood her.

After knowing the truth, he was filled with complicated emotions.

He was a guilty.

"I came over to see Jenkins." He retrieved his thoughts and answered in a a cold tone.

“Come on, Mr. Alston. Stop pretending! My brother is already injured. I will continue handling the lawsuit.” Adriana was still cold to Peter, even with a slight hatred.

Seeing her like that, Peter suddenly felt that he might had really gone too far that day.

“I’m here to tell you that I have nothing to do with your brother's injury." Peter waved his hand and Hank handed Adriana a file bag. “Here are the results of the investigation, you can have a look."

However, Adriana looked at the file bag and snorted, "You think I'll believe it if you bring me a copy of the information? It's easy if you want to falsify."

"What am I like in your mind?" Peter frowned.

Adriana asked, “Aren’t you?”

“Wait!” Thelma looked at them and said to Adriana with an unkind manner, “It’s none of your business, Adriana. The gentleman must be a rich man, we needn’t to be so awkward. Money can solve all the problems.”

Then she smiled at Peter and said, “I already known what happened, Sir. I know you are in a good social state, we don’t want to fight with you. But my son did injured. I have an idea. You give me a million dollars and we will never mention it, okay?”

She was really a greedy woman.

“Do you know what you are doing, Thelma?” Adriana was furious, “Jenkins was badly injured! We can’t just let it go like this!”

“Shut up! Adriana! It’s none of your business! Besides, you said you had nothing to do with us when we asked you for money just now, but now what are you doing here? You don't want to get money privately and stuff it into your own pocket, do you?" Nasty people were always so nasty-minded.

Adriana was so upset that she was misunderstood.

“Stop, mom! It’s none of your business!” Jenkins was unwilling to see Adriana being so aggrieved. “Adriana doesn’t mean that! If it wasn't for her money to cure me, I would have died long time ago. And now you are treating her like this? Is it okay?”

As Thelma’s son, Jenkins had always tolerated her. However, when it came to the matter of Adriana, he couldn’t bear it.

“You bastard! I worked so hard to bring you up, and now you are helping her against me. I’m really disappointed!”

Thelma was so aggrieved that she cried, completely disregarding that Peter was here.

Adriana was familiar with such situation.

Thelma would always do this to Jenkins, and it did work. Therefore, it had become a habit of hers.

Adriana didn’t want to get involved in, so she turned to Peter and said, “I am now Mr. Jenkins' agent, and I am responsible for the lawsuit. You can talk to me if you have any questions.”

Thelma won’t block her this time.

She had decided to beat Peter.

Even if she would hurt.

“Okay.” Peter nodded.

However, Thelma wasn’t satisfied with that.

Her crying suddenly stopped. Then she yelled angrily, “No one told you to handle it, bitch! Jenkins is injured! We need money!”

Then she looked at Peter and said, “I had told you. Money is okay. I need one million dollars. No less.”

With one hand crossed and one finger pointing at Peter, it seemed that her arrogant and domineering would never rest until she was satisfied.

Peter looked at Thelma and said coldly, “Miss. Hale is Mr. Hale’s agent. It’s none of your business.”

Adriana was confused.

Usually, they were incompatible. But Peter’s attitude today was a little different from before.

However, seeing his cold face, she thought she was overthinking.

Thelma thought that Adriana had spoiled her plan. Now she won’t get one million dollars.

“Mom!” Hearing Thelma’s words, Jenkins was angry, “Shut up! Mom! She is my sister, one of my family members!”

Adriana was standing there and staring at Thelma. Although she didn’t say a word, her clenching fists showed that she was furious.

“Jenkins...” said Thelma.

“If it wasn’t for Adriana’s sake, you think you can stand here and talk with me?” Seeing Adriana being bullied like this, Peter was angry.

He told Hank, “Get her out of here.”

“How dare you! It’s my son’s ward!” Thelma yelled angrily, “I will never scared at you! No matter what happened!”

However, seeing two tough, fierce men suddenly came through the door, she was really a little scared.
