Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 56

Adriana conferred with the police chief about the situation.

"I'll go with you first, Sir, you guys just follow behind."

Peter's words fell, the director nodded, "Yes, no problem, the safety of the hostages is the most important issue."

A serious and righteous statement.

Adriana: "......"

How come you didn't have this attitude a minute ago?

Finally, in order to stall for time, Adriana had to follow Peter to rescue Brenda.

First, trying to use the rescue of Brenda to stall for time and buy some negotiation time for Hayley's hit.

Second, she also wanted to see if Peter had anything to do with Brenda's kidnapping this time.

After the two got into the car, Adriana gave the address and Peter himself drove straight to the place where they were kidnapped.

On the way, Adriana looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Did you really have nothing to do with what happened to Adriana?"

The man snorted a laugh, " How can you be a lawyer with this IQ? I doubt you've ever won a single lawsuit in all these years."

He shook his head helplessly, full of dislike for Adriana, as if he thought she really could not win the lawsuit, and doubted Adriana's intelligence problem.

Choked by him, Adriana's face was extremely ugly, "What? Ninety-five percent of the lawsuits I've had in my hands over the years have been won."

Why should we question her ability to do her job?

Asshole!

"Is that so? Then maybe the other side's lawyer's IQ is not online." The man held the steering wheel with both hands, looked ahead, and joked with a serious face.

The words are filled with contempt for the present.

Adriana's mouth twitched and she wanted to retort, but thought she was too lazy to bother with him so much, now she was too calculating.

"Your Auntie, is everything okay?"

What she wants to know now is what happened to Hayley.

When we went to the hospital just now, Thelma just said that she should help Hayley, and among several people, none of them seemed to care about the injured and wounded.

Whether the people on the other side are from The Alston family or not, they should care about other people's hurt feelings, but what is it now?

"Things are a little tricky, my Auntie is still in the hospital right now and hasn't woken up."

Peter was rare serious, "That sister of yours hit who is not good? Asking for trouble."

"It's not like she did it on purpose, is there any room for negotiation in this matter?" Adriana took the time to spend with Peter to discuss Hayley's affairs with him, winning Hayley a sliver of a chance.

"It's not up to me to say whether there is room for negotiation or not. I Uncle is in the hospital with my Auntie right now, and I'm taking care of everything on my behalf."

The implication is that it is useless to discuss these matters with him, and she needs to negotiate directly with Uncle.

Available at ......

How can Adriana negotiate when she has no idea what kind of person Peter's Uncle is?

Her eyes flickered slightly, looking out of the window, hesitating for a moment, her mind turned a hundred times, and only after a moment of silence did she say, "That ...... can I discuss one thing with you?"

Adriana lowered her attitude and seemed to realize that things were very tricky and that all the entrances were only on Peter's side, and that the only way to solve Hayley's matter well was to discuss it with Peter.

"Discussion?"

The man snorted a laugh and felt as if he had heard the funniest joke of all time, glancing sideways at her with a look of contempt, "Adriana, what qualifications do you think you have to negotiate with me?"

"Hmm?"

The man paused and added: "You've been trying to take me to court to take responsibility for Brenda's incident, you want me to go to jail, and now you're begging me to let your sister off the hook? Where does your confidence come from?"

Even though Peter's words were all true, it was inevitable that Adriana was a little embarrassed to say them so bluntly.

I just asked if there was any room for discussion on this matter. Besides, Hayley is not my own sister, you saw that day you went to the hospital, and I'm not on good terms with The Hale family, so it's your Uncle's right to say what you do in the end."

In order to keep Peter from implicating Hayley in all his anger, she had to leave Hayley alone and hoped to meet Peter's Uncle in person tomorrow to discuss it with him.

"In that case, you'd better not go see me Uncle, he's a very dangerous man."

Peter seemed to understand what she was thinking and spoke directly to warn her.

"Very dangerous?"

Can say from Peter's mouth very dangerous characters, for some reason, Adriana felt creepy, seems to think that The Alston family of Uncle should be more dangerous than Peter.

Who is Peter?

The future heir of the Alston Group, in Waverly stomping three shocks of people, but Uncle can let Peter personally come to the police station to deal with the car accident, you can imagine, what is the identity of that person.

Adriana instantly regretted a little, if she had known, she really should not have agreed to Thelma.

Now, there was simply no way out, what should she do?

For a while, the two silent don't both fall into silence.

Adriana is preoccupied with Hayley and worried that she will get Brenda hurt if she trades Brenda's case with Peter.

In the past, although she was not a cold-blooded woman, but a righteous woman, now, suddenly have to play favorites for their loved ones, give up justice, Adriana inevitably some guilt inside.

"Peter, let's make a deal, shall we?"

Dead to think, Adriana felt that all the breakthrough is still on Peter's side, and only his help can solve Hayley's problem.

If Hayley's problems cannot be solved, Adriana chances are she can imagine how bad her future will be. After all, with Thelma's methods, there will be no mercy.

Just the thought of those unending days makes her scalp tingle.

"A deal?"

The man glanced at her with interest and seemed very interested.

"Yes, the deal."

She clasped her hands together restrainedly, swallowed, and boldly proposed a deal with Peter.

Want to solve this matter in your own way.

This time, after helping Hayley, she had no more relations with The Hale family.

In the future The Hale family will not be able to come to her for help in any way.

"I'd be interested. Say."

Peter's attitude is indifferent.

"That ...... if, I drop Brenda's case against you and keep Brenda from suing you, will you help me set things right with Hayley?"

It was the only way she could think of.

The man's face is expressionless, after hearing her words did not speak, just eyes forward to concentrate on driving.

The handsome face without sadness or joy does not show the slightest emotion, so that Adriana is a little confused, and she does not dare to speak.

The two were silent for a while, and the man suddenly spoke up and asked, "Is this how you show that you don't care about The Hale family? What, are all women like you?"
