Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 63

What do you want Theresa to say if you don't lie to her?

Is it hard to say that Peter escorted her to the hospital yesterday?

Adriana never wanted to be a marriage wrecker for the two of them, only that Peter was of bad character and not good enough for Theresa.

Even though she wanted to take advantage of Brenda's opportunity to let Theresa recognize Peter's character, Theresa not only did not believe, but also angrily disliked her for not interfering.

Now, Adriana tried to explain, and Theresa would not believe it.

In that case, what else could she say.

"Adriana, you disappoint me so much. Do you know that this afternoon is an important day for the Coastal Bay Project bidding? Because of the fermentation of the incident, Alston Group was directly disqualified from bidding, and lost billions of dollars invested in the project for nothing!"

Theresa was so angry that her face turned red, clutching her handbag tightly in her hand, and said angrily: "Since Peter has compensated your company, please go and talk to the media clearly. Besides, you'd better leave the country after you've dealt with the matter. I don't want to see you again."

Putting down a sentence, Theresa directly turned around and left.

Looking at her back, Adriana opened her lips, but in the end did not say a word.

Adriana genuinely sees her as her best friend, and it all started with Theresa's engagement ceremony, but the fatal one was on the day of Alvin's birthday party, when she was inexplicably drugged, and although she investigated the surveillance afterwards, she didn't find out who drugged her in the end.

If not for that one time, how could she have had sex with Peter?

Adriana helplessly raised her hand and slapped her forehead, "What a meltdown!" Silently walked to the side of the bench and sat down.

But she didn't know that Peter's fiancée would have been her if Theresa hadn't conspired to take away her very precious necklace.

She also didn't know that the person who drugged her that time on the cruise ship was her best friend Theresa.

It was also Theresa herself who sent Adriana to Peter's bed by mistake.

"Peter, I've figured out a way to deal with you."

After sitting in the cell for a long time, Adriana finally decided to intervene in the matter, and only after solving Peter's crisis, he would step in to solve Hayley's matter.

Adriana had no choice but to do so.

"So the price is to set things right with Hayley?" Peter naturally knew what Adriana was trying to do.

"Yes."

Adriana is unapologetic and straightforward in her admissions.

"Okay, you have one day."

Peter hung up directly, but subconsciously, he did not trust Adriana at all.

Naturally, I'm not hopeful.

Peter as the president of Alston Group, personal misconduct, and involved in a lawsuit, directly led to the Alston Group's stock drop, many companies see the wind to break off cooperation with their companies, huge losses.

Adriana then called Brenda, "Do you have a minute? Let's meet up later."

"Ms. Hale, I don't want to see you." Brenda refused outright.

"One million. Meet one person and you get paid a million." Adriana threw out the olive branch directly.

The other party hesitated for a moment and agreed.

Half an hour later, inside the private box of Shu Ya Cafe.

Adriana arrived at the box and waited for a while before Brenda appeared in the room.

"Sit down, I've ordered you a cup of grapefruit tea."

Pointed to the opposite seat with an affable attitude.

On the contrary, Brenda looked cold and sat across the table with her bag, "Say, what did you come to see me about?"

Her tone is hard, just like yesterday's gentle, like two people.

As a victim, Brenda can not be blamed for doing so, but Adriana finally felt simply suspicious, not as simple as Brenda said.

"The reason I called you over is to talk to you about the case." To avoid Brenda's resentment, Adriana starts with the case.

"On the police side, up to now we can't get any evidence to prove that your mother's death is related to Peter. I read the file, the police ruled that your mother died by drowning, the person has been cremated, even if they want to find the problem, there is no way at all."

In fact, Peter wants to deal with the matter at hand is very easy, except that he has not yet shot, once shot will be able to set out the scandalous events in minutes.

"Ms. Hale, what do you mean? How could my mother have lived and died by drowning? She wasn't a child."

Brenda got red-eyed with excitement and confronted her, "I was asking the police to investigate and they all just copped to it."

"The police got a coroner after your mother drowned and identified that it was indeed a drowning death. So, it will take time for us to find the evidence, won't it?"

Speaking of which, Adriana saw Brenda's emotions getting more and more agitated and immediately changed the subject, "There's one more thing I never understood, you said Peter told you to get an abortion. Did he tell you that personally?"

Brenda frowned slightly, a hint of puzzlement surfaced in her cheeks and shook her head, "No. It was a couple of men who said they were Peter's subordinates. As you know, how could someone of his stature meet me in person?"

"I'd like to ask for details, when you were sleeping together, you saw with your own eyes that the man was him?"

Originally, Adriana had no doubts, but still wanted to be sure once again.

This matter is full of suspicions, she is better to be cautious.

"I didn't see it, but our manager did. He saw Peter enter my room with his own eyes."

"So ...... you didn't see the whole thing is Peter?"

Adriana broke down a little, "Didn't you tell me before that Peter forcibly molested you and you kept struggling and finally gave in to him when you couldn't. Why did you hide the situation from me?"

"Yeah. I was drunk that day and someone molested me, I did fight back and struggled."

Adriana: "......"

What the hell, so Brenda always avoid the point, but also said with conviction that the person is Peter.

In summary, all the things and Peter have a dry cleaning, but clear and obvious that Brenda from beginning to end did not see Peter in person.

"You say that your manager saw Peter enter your room? Is there any other proof?"

In addition to the manager's testimony, there is only the security camera, but that day the security camera went wrong.

The last time Adriana took advantage of her free time to go to the KTV and ask the manager herself, the manager said the same thing.

"Yes, it's only him." Brenda nodded, but her eyes flickered a little, as if she was a little distraught.

Perhaps, she also knows that the matter is suspicious.

"All right. Contact you later."

Adriana took her bag and got up to leave the cafe. When she walked out of the cafe, she immediately called Peter.

"What is it?"

There, the man quickly answered the phone, so fast that she was very surprised.

"Can you lend me four bodyguards with good skills?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I'll be sure to tell you afterwards, just lend me the person."

"Good."

For some reason, Peter became interested in what she wanted to do and agreed to do it right away.

One hour later.

Alston Group, Office of the President.

Assistant Hank pushed in the door, "Boss, my subordinates were incompetent to find Night KTV manager Van."
