Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 54

The sharp eyes stared straight at, looking at Jenkins some heart weakness, pupil eyes flickered, immediately don't face, dare not look directly at her.

With just one look, Jenkins knew that he had let Adriana down.

Otherwise it would not have gone to see him like that.

Adriana was silent for a while before she said, "Since you already have an idea, just contact The Alston family, why call me here?"

The words are indifferent and invisible with a sense of irony.

Before this, Adriana also thought Jenkins is very principled person, in Brenda's case to adhere to their own position and position, so she felt that Jenkins is a rare justice gentleman, but in front of the reality, the original form, exposed the true face, Adriana can not help but some disappointment.

"Adri, I know I've let you down."

Jenkins looked over her shoulder and sighed, "As you know, my mom cares about Hayley and I only have one sister in her, so ......"

With that, Jenkins suddenly realized what, lifting his eyes for a moment to facilitate Adriana that desperate wounded eyes met together.

He hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, I mean, she is my own sister, of course, you are also my sister, I treat you as a relative ......"

"Okay, no need to say it, I know all about it."

Adriana interrupted Jenkins, not wanting to hear him go on.

Just ......

It never occurred to me that Jenkins had only one sister in mind, Hayley, so what does she count for?

I thought that Jenkins might be her only trusted relative in this world, except for that little girl of her own, but now I realize that it was my own self-interest.

"I will help you in this matter. But, it is also the last time I help The Hale family, so don't contact me again about The Hale family in the future."

With those words, she turned around and left.

That lonely and despondent back revealed her sad air, making Jenkins inwardly guilty, "Adri, I really didn't mean it like that, don't be sad."

"Geez, what's the point? She wasn't from our The Hale family in the first place."

Thelma has high hopes for Jenkins and thinks highly of him. Suddenly she sees Jenkins stooping in front of Adriana and feels that her son has no future.

At this point, she seems to have forgotten the scene yesterday when she knelt in front of Adriana.

At that time to hear this thing is really scared, but in Jenkins later came up with an idea, let her hanging heart down, and naturally not so worried.

"Adri, when are you going to take me to The Hale family?"

Hayley, worried only about her problems, chased out and asked, "You've said that things are serious, so can I meet with The Alston family today?"

Adriana took a step, looked back at her, frowned and asked, "Can you I think of something?"

She stood alone in the hallway, slowly walking toward the front, and stood for a moment by the window at the end of the hallway, contemplating what to do about the problem.

It wouldn't be out of the question to take the Jenkins thing.

But until now, she didn't have enough evidence to prove that the person who assaulted Jenkins that day was Peter's man.

And Adriana is not a fool, although Jenkins said that the matter of being beaten, in fact, really want to take Brenda's case.

As a lawyer, he knows that everything must be based on evidence.

Now that there is no evidence that Peter had anyone assault Jenkins, the only bargaining chip left is Brenda's case!

She had taken so much effort to prepare for so long and was determined to stick with Peter to the end, but at this moment, she was out of ideas and did not know what to do.

Brenda is now receiving all kinds of threats and people have taken up residence in her home.

Now what about Brenda if she tells him she's changing her mind?

Adriana is very principled and will do what she has promised people since she has done it.

But after all these years, Jenkins had helped her with many things, and the first time she was approached to ask for help, Adriana really didn't know how to refuse.

Ding ding ding -

At that moment, the cell phone rang abruptly, interrupting her contemplation.

Adriana took out her phone and looked at the unfamiliar phone number.

"Hello?"

"Whoops ...... Ms. Hale, where are you, whoops ...... It's Brenda, help, help ...... whoops ......"

On the other side of the phone was Brenda's voice, a raspy voice.

But ......

Adriana frowned abruptly and took the phone and looked at it, it was indeed an unfamiliar phone number.

But she remembered that she had saved Brenda's phone number last night, so how come it was an unfamiliar number again?

"Where are you now? What's going on?"

She asked immediately.

"Help me, help me ...... whimper ......" The opposite side was speaking, suddenly sobbing a few times and lost their voice, followed by a thick man's voice "You are Adriana barrister, right? I tell you, Brenda is now in my hands, if you want to save Brenda, immediately give me to ****Road, want a person!"

The other party directly said the address, and then Adriana pulled the lips, just want to say something, the other party has hung up the phone.

The first time she called back, the phone beeped and beeped, but no one answered the phone.

Adriana suddenly got anxious and turned around to leave.

Kagome just turned around and found Hayley standing there waiting for her, a pair of big watery eyes looking at her, waiting for her to make a choice.

To be precise, it was waiting for her to come to her rescue.

Perhaps that was the day Peter showed up at Jenkins' hospital room and said in front of Thelma that he and Adriana were friends.

That's why this time Hayley car accident hit The Alston family, Thelma will be the first to seek Adriana for help.

It must be that he wants Adriana to take advantage of the relationship he has with Peter, which will be better to solve Hayley's problem.

"Adri, are you planning to come with me?" Hayley asked softly as she stepped forward.

"Sorry, I have something important to take care of right now, you ......"

"What's important? Isn't your sister's business important? What the hell do you want, Hayley is your sister and you're not even willing to help in her affairs?"

Thelma came out of the ward, yelling unrelentingly.

The voice was so thick that it could not be heard by everyone on the entire floor.

Just to let everyone know what a white-eyed wolf she Adriana is.

But people's lives are at stake and Adriana couldn't care less, "As I said, I have something very important to do right now, if you trust me, I will come back first to solve Hayley's problem, if you don't trust me, ask someone else."

Ben didn't want to help Hayley, and if it weren't for Jenkins' sake, she wouldn't have made it so difficult for herself.

"You ...... you dead girl, you're threatening me?"

Thelma immediately changed her face, pointed at her with an angry face, and started another round of ranting.

Even Hayley, who was standing aside, felt a little humiliated and took Thelma's hand, "Mom, don't say anything, I'm sure Adri is really not okay, you have to be more understanding."
