Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 67

As he spoke, he raised his hand and tapped the Ipad on the desktop, indicating something.

"Mr. Alston, are you threatening me? A society under the rule of law, not afraid of going to jail?" Adriana forced herself to be calm, but her mind was unbelievable.

Brenden spread his hands with a look of indifference, "I'll let you go as long as you can afford to put me in jail."

The implication is that you simply do not have that strength, unnecessary and useless struggle.

"You ......"

Faced with his arrogant and carefree attitude, Adriana is a little broken, but inside she is very worried about Helen's situation.

The two men looked at each other, four eyes, and the sword-armed atmosphere was slightly condensed.

She tried her best to force herself to be calm, and then walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up the tea and took a sip.

said, "There is one thing I am rather curious about, Mr. Alston has gone to such great lengths, may I ask what my value is?"

After saying that, Adriana immediately added, "I just want to hear the truth."

"With a monthly salary of 100,000, just do a good job. You don't have to know too much about the rest." His attitude was slightly cold, unwilling to tell Adriana the real situation.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Alston's insincere attitude makes it difficult to comply."

Adriana did not want to continue talking to him and got up to leave, also taking this opportunity to test Brenden's attitude.

Wanted to see exactly what he would do.

"If you don't want to never see that cute little girl Helen again in your life, just go."

The breeze threatens, eating up Adriana seems to be.

"Mr. Alston, what exactly do you want to do? I am just a lawyer, if you are in shortage of talents I can recommend you many sage talents, even those who are more capable than me have many candidates. You keep clinging to me, but do not tell me what purpose, why should I cooperate with you!"

Adriana was a little angry and didn't want to continue talking to Brenden at all.

"I know in my heart whether you have value or not, just go to work honestly at Alston Group and get a two-way salary, why not?"

Then, the man took out another bank card and put it on the table, "Here is fifty million dollars, your reward."

Fifty million, a truly generous offer.

Not bad for The Alston family.

"Let me go undercover at the Alston Group?" Adriana asked curiously.

The man did not retort, just the corners of his lips raised an arc, seemingly smiling.

If it were anyone else, Adriana would have taken it as a tacit acknowledgement of her words, but nothing at all could be seen on his enigmatic face.

Unable to catch a single change in his mood.

Adriana was a little disheveled and extremely helpless, "One last question, how did you find my daughter?"

"Don't doubt my strength."

He was brief and concise, "Take the money and I'll keep HelenRene unharmed, or ...... I'll keep you two apart. Of course, you now have a chance to call Helen and ask for a situation."

Calling?

Is there still a need for that.

The people of The Alston family are incredibly strong, no doubt about it.

"I am now very suspicious that that car accident in Hayley was not deliberately arranged by you." She had never believed in coincidences.

How come Hayley bumped into Brenden's wife a few days ago and Brenden came after her on this side?

"That's your business." The man refused to answer.

At that moment, there was a commotion from outside.

"Mr. Alston, you can't go in right now, Mr. Alston is talking about something." A voice came from outside, it was the voice of the bodyguard just now.

"Get out of the way!" Peter's voice rang out with it.

Adriana looked back outside, and through the frosted glass door, although she couldn't see the people outside, she could clearly hear the voices.

The heart can't help but be a little nervous.

Peter has already bought her a ticket to leave, but now she is still alive and can't account for it.

But ......

It seems she can call Peter for help!

In any case, the two are considered some friendship, I believe that Peter will not ignore it.

"Ink ......"

Before she could utter a single word, she was interrupted by Brenden, who whispered, "If this thing ever gets back to Peter, I guarantee you'll see Helen's dead body. You should trust my abilities."

"You ......"

Adriana clenched her lips in unspeakable tension and panic. "Deadline?"

There is always a deadline for whatever you do, otherwise how will she know how long to keep doing it?

"One year."

"What does it take to believe you?"

"Take the Alston Group within a year and you're out of here."

"One ...... year? Alston Group?"

Adriana was a little surprised, not expecting Brenden to be so blunt.

But there are times when people are too honest to make people suspicious, some doubt about the truth of his words.

"I ...... I need time to think about it." Adriana had mixed feelings in her heart and was reluctant to agree, after all, as hateful as Peter was, ruining Peter would be tantamount to ruining Theresa.

Theresa is her BFF, best friend.

Can't do that.

"In case you don't know, I founded the very Montclair School where Helen is now, so don't struggle unnecessarily."

After saying that, Brenden got up directly and walked towards the outside.

Stopping for a moment as she brushed past Adriana, she sidled up to her and whispered into her ear, "Helen is so cute, I'm going to grant her request to be her godfather."

"Brenden, you ...... Well ......"

Before Adriana could finish her sentence, her lips were covered with a warm softness that made her jaw drop and she didn't even notice the waist that Brenden had wrapped around her.

Peter, who was tangling with the bodyguard outside the door for a long time, saw the scene in front of him the moment he pushed the door open.

He Uncle wrapped his arms around Adriana's waist and the two kissed intimately.

"Mr. Alston, I told you, Mr. Alston has important business to attend to." The corners of Brenden's bodyguard's lips twitched slightly as he muttered weakly.

"Yo, what a coincidence, the nephew is here?"

Brenden let go of Adriana and, after a small warning, smiled at Peter.

"Adriana? Uncle, you guys?"

Peter palm tightly gripped the handle hand, a pair of dark as ink eyes emerged thick slaughter breath.

"Mr. Alston."

By Brenden tightly wrapped around the waist, Adriana half dare not struggle, afraid to anger Brenden.

After all, now that Helen is not by her side, she doesn't know exactly what is going on with the little girl, so she can only take the first step.

Everything is planned for later.

She didn't dare to look Peter in the eye and hurriedly lowered her head.

"Aren't you going abroad? Why are you here?" Peter walked in and pulled her out of Brenden's arms with his hand, clutching her wrist tightly and questioning her in a cold voice.

"You're the one who forced Adriana to leave the country?"

Brenden, with his hands in his trouser pockets, stood erect and looked straight at Peter, his nephew, ten years younger.

"I forgot to tell you that I have liked Adriana for a long time, so I will arrange for her to work at Alston Group in the future, and you take good care of her for me."

Taking this opportunity, Brenden logically arranged for Adriana to join the Alston Group.
