Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 70

"This ......"

Jenkins is not a fool, Adriana said so, she immediately clear in her mind, Adriana is helping her.

"Adri, I already owe you too much, I am ashamed of you like this." Jenkins felt more and more guilty about Adriana, "You, as the investor, are the biggest shareholder, it's better for you to distribute it, I don't care how much."

"Gee, Jenkins what are you kids talking about? I brought her up with a handful of shit, now it's only right that she help you out a little."

Thelma changed her attitude again and said to Adriana with a smile, "Adri, I was right about you kid at first, it's really good."

"Mom, shut up!"

Jenkins was fed up with Thelma's villainous face and chided.

"But I have one condition, the company is a company rule and cannot be involved with family. No relatives or friends can be hired, and any major changes need to be discussed. Sign the contract in advance if you can, but if you can't, call it quits."

Adriana is smart and knows Thelma's nature too well. With her greedy nature, she will definitely stir up the company's affairs when the time comes.

"Okay, I promise." Jenkins didn't think twice about it.

"Adriana, what exactly do you mean, who are you defending yourself against? Defending against me?" Thelma's face didn't look good, and she was furious.

"You're overthinking it, we're just doing business."

Even so, she would not admit it to Thelma's face.

"Okay, that's finalized for now. I'll bring Vivian over to discuss things with you later, you have a good rest, I'll go first."

Seeing that it was getting late, Adriana left straight away.

Waiting for her to leave, Thelma immediately came up, "Jenkins ah, I told you that Adriana that little girl thief fine thief, you must keep an eye out, you know?"

"Mom, you've had enough!"

Jenkins couldn't stand it, "Didn't you hear what Adri said? She has the resources of her clients and she had her own company before. With a million dollars to start a company and resources in hand, she could have done without me. This is to give me a share of the pie, how can you be so greedy and so stupid!

Hayley, who was standing aside, was envious and came forward, "Brother, can you ask Adri to give me some shares? That way I'll be able to say that I have a lot of face, and I'm also a company owner."

The pie in the sky, of course, makes people red.

"You ...... you guys!"

Jenkins' chest rose and fell in anger, "Forget it, I'll tell Adri now that I'm not getting involved!"

What kind of family is this? Is it true that they want to drain Adri?

Suddenly some heartache Adriana, if she was not born in The Hale family, perhaps now will live a better life is not necessarily.

"Okay, let's not talk about it no more." Thelma couldn't do anything about Jenkins and gave Hayley a sideways glance, signaling her not to talk too much.

Into the night.

Adriana was lying in bed when she received a message from Anne, [Helen said she knew the guy, her Chinese teacher, who was super fond of her and had agreed to be her godfather today].

Seeing this piece of news, Adriana's heart shook with indescribable fear.

She looked at that one text message and couldn't calm down her mood for a long time.

Ding--

Suddenly, another message was sent over.

It's an unfamiliar number.

Tap on the message: [Everything is arranged, normal start tomorrow at Alston Group, looking forward to our cooperation. Bank card is in your bag.]

Just by looking at the message, Adriana knew it was sent by Brenden.

Just a bank card?

She got up, picked up her bag and rummaged through it, and there was indeed a bank card inside, the one Brenden had given her in the VIP room at the airport today.

I didn't pick it up at that time, I think it was that moment when he was hugging and quietly stuffed into his bag.

Adriana clutched her bank card and couldn't tell you how angry she was.

The number was dialed back and she said angrily, "Brenden, I agreed to your terms, but you have to keep Helen safe. If she loses a hair, I will fight you to the death."

"Good cooperation."

"Wait." Adriana pursued, "What do you mean by letting Hayley into the Alston Group since you let me into the Alston Group?"

It always seems that Brenden's plan is not that simple.

She didn't think a man as shrewd as Brenden would easily reveal his plans to her.

She was told without scruples that it was to win the Alston Group, but in fact Adriana felt there was a deeper conspiracy behind it, just what exactly it was she couldn't figure out.

But also afraid to tell Peter.

"You're so smart, how could you not understand my intentions?"

"So, use people who are suspicious. Why should you work with me if you don't trust me?" Adriana hates people like that.

"Because you have interest is value."

Brenden's tone intensified, "Don't talk to me so much about useless, just do your job honestly."

"You ...... doo-doo-doo."

Adriana wanted to say something else, the phone had already hung up.

Throughout the night, Adriana could not sleep.

And then got up in the latter part of the night and drank half a bottle of red wine before barely falling asleep.

The next day dawned.

Adriana woke up early, rummaged in the closet to find a black professional dress to change, long hair tied up in a high ponytail, stepped on a pair of high heels, clean to go to the office.

I bought some breakfast on the way and went straight to Alston Group.

Standing outside the Alston Group's building, the atmospheric building, I couldn't help but draw a breath backwards, and the hand clutching my backpack tightened.

From today, she is Peter's enemy?

But for Helen's sake, she had to do it.

One year, the collaboration is a year long, she still has plenty of chances to get out in one piece, but Adriana must cooperate fully.

Step into the Alston Group.

"Hi, my name is Adriana and I came over to join the legal department today." Walking to the front desk in the first floor lobby, she said hello to the receptionist.

Otherwise, you cannot swipe your card to enter the security check without a work card.

"Yes, please wait a moment while I call to confirm." The receptionist was very polite, called the legal department for some advice and confirmed Adriana's words before making a gesture of invitation, "Follow me."

"Slow down!"

The receptionist beauty had just stepped out of the workstation when she was chided by one person.

When they looked back, they saw Peter walking in with his assistant Hank.

"Mr. Alston, what can I do for you?" The reception nodded respectfully and inquired.

Peter's suit is straight, wearing sunglasses, hands in the pockets of his pants, exuding an icy aura, seemingly rejecting people from a thousand miles away.

Through the large silver gray Peter, Adriana can not see his eyes, but through the gloomy like ink cheeks can still feel his stern majesty.

"This woman must never enter the company. If she enters the company, you can be laid off."

Dropping a cold word, he went straight in around Adriana.

"Peter!"

Adriana shouted, "I entered the company with Brenden's permission, you are in no position to argue against that."
