Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 76

With her limited abilities, how could she possibly compete with Peter?

If Brenden doesn't make a move, she really has no choice.

"All right. I got it."

Brenden responded and said, "Wait in Peter's office, I'll be there now."

"Okay."

Adriana nods and hangs up the phone.

She raised her eyebrows, "Mr. Alston, if you can, the person you should target is Brenden and not me. Otherwise, it will only make me look down on you."

After speaking, she walked to the sofa aside and sat down, leaning on the sofa, Adriana sat dumbfounded, with extremely complicated feelings.

Then he got up and walked to a floor-to-ceiling window to look outside, in a melancholy mood.

Peter sat in the executive chair, his face ashen.

The signature pen was clenched tightly in his hand, and the back of his hand was bruised with anger.

God knows, it was the old man's decision to let Adriana into the company, and he couldn't fight against him, but only against Adriana.

Naive now Adriana again moved Brenden, when Brenden will again find the old man to say this matter.

If he and Brenden both target Adriana alone, it will only make the old man interested in Adriana and think that Adriana is a scourge, which will then be harmful to Adriana.

The twists and turns of which Adriana is not sure, but he knows in his heart.

But he couldn't send Adriana to the brink of death.

That's what makes it so mind-numbingly exhausting.

"Adriana, what is your purpose in entering the Alston Group?"

After a long moment of silence, he asked in an airy and calm mood.

Adriana's dull and discolored eyes instantly blossomed with starbursts and her eyes regained their clarity.

After a moment, he said, "Purpose? You destroyed my Hale Cobb Law Firm, it's not over yet, of course I'm here to help you, right?"

The mouth said so, but it was clear to each other that Adriana was saying the opposite.

"You're only making me more suspicious of your intentions. Your Hale Cobb Law Firm's revenue will only be $100 million in a few years, and I've given you $300 million, so you should be satisfied."

Instead, she returned the 300 million.

"Your analysis makes sense."

Adriana slowly turned around, expressionless, "so I care not only about the three hundred million, but also the AlstonGroup. as far as I know, Brenden is the biggest contender for your The Alston family heir, so I choose to stay with Brenden, if I win you, or let you taste a taste of I'm not going to be able to get the job done. Of course, if you get together with Brenden, you will have to call me 'Auntie' when you meet me in the future. It's a good feeling just thinking about it."

The tortured Adriana is on the verge of collapse, and every time she sees Peter, she remembers Brenden's words and is filled with guilt.

But the thought of Peter bullying her by any means necessary to get her out of the company made him a little disgusted.

There are mixed emotions in the bottom of my heart.

"Heh."

The man laughed in exasperation, and analyzed Adriana's words in detail is very reasonable. "Good calculations, I underestimated you. "

Peter cheek smile instantly converge, while an icy face, "So want to marry Brenden?Don't even think about it!"

He believed it.

Perhaps from the beginning it was felt that Adriana's appearance was not purely for the purpose.

That time at the hospital I happened to overhear Adriana's conversation with Thelma, and thought I had misunderstood Adriana.

Now it seems likely that Adriana was putting on a show for him.

Adriana stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in silence, not knowing how to answer the question.

There was no relationship between her and Brenden in the first place. That day in the airport lounge, it was Peter who barged in and Brenden kissed her forcibly as a show to Peter.

I thought Peter would believe her, but I didn't expect Peter to believe the truth.

Originally, she felt guilty towards him, but every time Peter tortured and humiliated her, it made her feel a little less guilty.

The two men were at such a standstill that the office was silent.

Half an hour later, Brenden appeared in the office.

"Adriana, what's wrong?"

Brenden walked into the office and asked about Adriana first, then said to Peter, "Bullying her again?"

Peter's face was not good, "What did Uncle say, your woman, how could I bully."

He snorted a laugh, rather disdainfully.

Adriana turned to Brenden and said, "I can't do my job anymore, the whole department is targeting me and saying I stole their watches. How do you expect me to stay here?"

This comment was Adriana complaining to Brenden, a side note that she was not up to the arrangement he gave her.

But in Peter's ears it was like Adriana was pouting at Brenden, and the pouting look even showed the aggrieved and miserable daughter.

"Yeah?"

Brenden's eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his hand to pat her shoulder, "Compliments of you."

"Peter, Adriana just came to the company, there are many places where you should be more tolerant if you do not do well."

Brenden seems to have an easy-going attitude, but in his words, he commands with the attitude of an elder.

"Uncle, the company is a company, it is right to separate public and private, otherwise how else can you still be in charge of the company in the future?"

He didn't budge at all.

"Well, that makes sense."

Brenden nodded, looked at Adriana and asked, "Didn't you hear what Peter said? The company has a company system, so this matter must be investigated to the bottom of the barrel. Let's go, I'll accompany you to the legal department."

Going with the flow, she took Adriana's hand and walked towards the office door.

Brenden took a step and looked at Peter, "Come along and take a look."

Since Brenden had already asked, how could Peter refuse?

Walking out of the office, Adriana struggled with her hand, trying to pull it out, but Brenden clutched it tightly and didn't let go.

"Hey, Brenden, that's enough!" She was a little exasperated.

Cooperate with his arrangement is already the biggest bottom line, but Brenden openly mooching, simply too much.

"If you don't want to see Helen you can struggle all you want." Brenden whispered threateningly as he pressed the elevator.

The sound was not too loud, not too small, just enough for the two to see.

Just the back, but let the subsequent followed by Peter felt that the relationship between the two is extremely ambiguous, seems to answer to the scene seen in the airport lounge the day before.

Adriana, sure enough, iswith Brenden.

The threat Adriana dare not struggle, let Brenden hold her hand, but vaguely she can feel a sharp gaze from behind, staring at her, making her bones creepy.

Looking back, just in time to meet Peter's gaze, was his cold eyes scared face white a few points, immediately withdrew his gaze and lowered his head.

Ding--

The elevator came up and the three got into it.

A minute later stepped out of the elevator and arrived at the legal department.

"Mr. Alston is here."

"Oh my God, the vice president is here too."

"Is it true that the vice president has a relationship with ......Adriana?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk ......Adriana can be really tactful."

......

The three of them just walked into the legal department and their colleagues exploded in discussion at the sight of this scene.

Especially Hayley, the moment she saw Brenden she was first happy, and then her eyes fell on his hand held tightly with Adriana, her eyes darkened a few points, said the inexhaustible disappointment.
