Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 52

Adriana was so worried about the situation that she could not wait to fly to her side immediately.

After stopping by the tragic case of Brenda's mother, Adriana's biggest concern is the safety of Brenda's life.

"I'm at Tokencade Road No. 52."

Brenda cried and cried about where she was and choked out, "Ms. Hale, can you hurry up and get over here, I'm really scared."

"Okay, I got it, I'll be right over."

Hanging up the phone, Adriana stopped a car on the side of the road and went straight over.

On the way, in order to take care of Brenda's emotions, called back and asked, "Do you have the convenience to say what the hell is going on now?"

"You ...... better come and see for yourself."

Brenda's voice was slightly shaky, but she was reluctant to make the situation clear over the phone.

This made Adriana suspicious and more and more worried about Brenda's situation.

"Master, could you please drive a little faster?" She urged the cab driver.

"Okay, sit tight."

The cab driver also seemed to realize that Adriana had something important and urgent to do and sped up the car.

More than ten minutes later, arrived at the destination.

Adriana got out of the car and trotted to a slum area, called with Brenda, identified the location and found her.

"Oooh ...... Ms. Hale, you're finally here, I'm so scared."

One over here belongs to the ghetto, and Adriana found Brenda in the third alley while she was clutching her phone in her hand, with its flashlight function turned on, shivering alone, snuggled up in the corner.

"What's wrong, why are you here?" Adriana was distressed to see her red-eyed and crying with sadness.

The same woman, although she can not empathize, but look at the real heartache.

"It's terrible, it's terrible."

Brenda a pull Adriana's hand, very shaky, "I received so many threatening messages on my phone, it's really too scary, I'm afraid to sleep at home alone, oooh ...... so scary."

"A threatening message? Let me see."

"No, no, I deleted them all, those messages look ...... look so scary, I dare not keep them, so scary, ooo ......"

Brenda shook her head in a sad and timid manner.

"What's all the information?" Adriana took her hand in both of hers, silently giving her some warmth and strength.

Previous phone threats, now intimidation, and even getting someone to teach Jenkins, the lawyer who took the case, a lesson.

Peter, is really enough of an asshole!

"All are some horror pictures, so scary kind, oooh ......Ms. Hale, I'm really scared, can I ...... can I go to where you are, I dare not live at home alone. "

With a snotty nose and a tear, she cried like a tearful person and had long since lost her image.

The same woman, Adriana does not dislike, only feel sorry for her.

"Alone? Where's your dad?"

Although Brenda's mother is said to be dead, her father is still alive, so how can she be alone?

"My dad? My dad was beaten up earlier, and since then he has fled back home, afraid to come out, scared of being beaten up."

Speaking of her father, Brenda's emotions more excited, "My dad are honest people, so many years of hard work to earn a little money, want to come to town to do some business, but did not expect to encounter this kind of thing, ooo ...... are my bad."

Brenda kept shaking her head, her body choking with sobs.

"Okay, well, it's none of your business."

Adriana sighed and raised a hand to smooth her back, "Since you're scared come back with me."

Pulling Brenda to her feet, she then realized that Brenda had run out barefoot.

She couldn't help but sigh. What kind of horrible images had she experienced to make her so scared?

Take off your own shoes, "Here, you can wear my shoes."

"This ...... this ...... is not appropriate."

"There's nothing inappropriate, hurry up and get dressed and go to my house."

She has a tough attitude and exudes a dry and spontaneous new century woman.

Brenda couldn't refuse, so she had to wear her shoes and follow her out.

The two took a taxi and went straight back.

Downstairs in the neighborhood, Adriana took Brenda to the supermarket to buy pajamas and daily necessities, and after that she went upstairs.

This night, Brenda slept in the bedroom, and Adriana was not used to sleeping with her, so she chose to sleep on the couch.

Just Brenda's case situation is tricky, Adriana late at night is difficult to avoid, it will stand alone on the balcony to drink a few glasses of wine before drifting off to bed.

The next day.

"Brenda, who is the officer who took over your mother's case? Take me to meet him." After washing up in the morning, Adriana went downstairs and bought breakfast and came back, sitting at the table, she asked Brenda.

Brenda, who was drinking soy milk, stalled, looked up at her, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "Yes, okay."

"Also, when you were at KTV, you said that the person who forced you was Peter, that KTV should have surveillance video, you go to me today to check the surveillance."

The case is delayed for a day is a great threat to Brenda, Adriana after thinking about it decided to understand the case as soon as possible.

"It doesn't work."

Brenda pursed her lips, lowered her eyelids and said with some disappointment: "After the incident I went to KTV to find the manager, but Mr. Alston is a high authority, how could KTV give me the video? The manager said that the KTV happened to have a problem with the monitoring line that day, so the video was not used. I think the video of that day was deleted."

"Well, got it."

Adriana nodded her head, not using it to say anything.

I have to admit that Brenda's words are not without merit.

In any case, Peter is the president of the Alston Group, the status is noble, a district KTV does not dare to compete with it.

In the morning, the two went to the police station and met with the police officer handling the case of Brenda's mother's death.

According to the police, Mrs. Levy was found on a river bank in the countryside and had drowned.

There is no evidence that Mrs. Levy was framed.

And the case does not have any evidence witnesses, so much so that the case is delayed until now without any progress, only to the hope of claiming accidental drowning.

For this result, Brenda heart certainly do not want to believe, but the other side of the clean shot, without any trace, really intriguing.

A morning of running around amounted to nothing.

Adriana is also a little frustrated!

She had just dropped Brenda off at her house to rest when she received a phone call from her brother, Jenkins.

"Brother, what is it?"

"Adri, do you have time now, come to the hospital, I have something to talk to you." The other party was in a calm mood, and his words were light, making no emotion audible.

But one thing is for sure, Jenkins must have something important, otherwise he certainly would not have taken the initiative to find her.

"Okay, I got it, I'll go over there now."

After hanging up the phone, Adriana told Brenda, "You have a good rest at my house, I have to go out now, you can call me if you need anything. At noon, if you don't know how to cook, you can order take-out yourself."
