Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 77

"Mr. Alston, Vice President, what brings you here?"

Nelson came out of his office with a flattering smile, "Is there something you want?"

He brushed the frames of his glasses, his hands clasped together in an extremely uncomfortable manner, a little nervous.

"Nelson, I heard Adriana say that you guys suspect her of theft?" Brenden let go of Adriana's hand and rested his arm on Adriana's shoulder without a care in the world.

Adriana glanced at his arm out of the corner of her eye and moved it with some resistance.

However, it does not matter if you don't move, it is so a movement, Brenden actually smoothly embraced her in the arms, reckless, open to the extreme.

The faces of both Peter and Hayley sank as a result.

"Oh, this thing, huh?"

Nelson smiled awkwardly, subconsciously glanced at Peter and stammered: "When he came to the office in the morning Alonso said that he had lost an expensive watch. We investigated the surveillance and found that Adriana had been sitting in his place yesterday, the suspicion is very high. However, we just asked about Adriana, we didn't expect to alert Mr. Alston and the vice president, it's ...... so uncalled for."

"Surveillance?"

Brenden raised his eyebrows, the evil demon face emerged with a meaningful smile, "Bring it out, let me see."

"Okay, the vice president will wait a moment."

Nelson immediately went to get the video.

During this gap, colleagues in the office started a new round of discussion.

"Gosh, it looks like the vice president is really spoiling Adriana."

"I heard that Uncle's wife might be dying, will Adriana be on top?"

"Who knows about this, it's hard to say."

"It's a good way to woo a man, shamelessly."

......

The colleagues in the office cast strange eyes, either with dislike or jealousy or disdain. Those harsh words make Adriana especially heartbroken, but can only ignore.

In order to stabilize in the Legal Department, she will definitely stick to it as long as it is not a last resort.

Nelson came out of the office, took the phone, opened the video presented to Brenden, "Vice President, the video Adriana sitting in Alonso's place, and then lying on the table, but because of the angle problem simply can not see what her hands are doing, at this time it is likely that she is stealing Alonso's watch. "

Meanwhile, Nelson Dean saw Brenden accompanying Adriana and returned Adriana's phone to her.

"So, just maybe?"

Brenden face cold a few points, "you as the head of the Department of Justice, very clear that anything will be on the real evidence, you now with this kind of video to kick Adriana out?"

"This ......"

Nelson turned ashen with fear and subconsciously cast a pleading look at Peter.

"But she's the most suspicious person. Isn't she?"

Peter took the phone from Brenden's hand and scanned the video, "The company closes at six, there's never any overtime. Why are you the only one still at the company at this hour?"

Direct questioning of Adriana.

Faced with Peter's aggressiveness, Adriana was a little annoyed that the bastard was targeting her on everything.

"Nelson asked me to work overtime." She explained.

"Is that right Nelson?"

"No, no, no, absolutely not, absolutely not." Nelson practiced waving his hand, "The colleagues in the legal department are all old colleagues, they are all clear that our department has never worked overtime."

"Nelson, you clearly told me verbally in the office yesterday."

Adriana has no choice but to speak up and feel helpless.

Nelson Dean is Peter's man, and just one look from Peter will make Nelson Dean change everything he says.

"When did I say that? You and Hayley joined the company at the same time, so if you work overtime, it will be the two of you working together, so how can you work overtime alone? Besides, I have no grudge against you, so how could I possibly target you alone?"

Nelson's words fell, heartily swallowed, raised his hand to brush the frame of his glasses, his eyes somewhat evasive.

"You ......!"

Adriana was speechless.

There are no security cameras in the Attorney General's office, so anything Nelson says is unlikely to be in evidence.

How can she argue with that?

"Unconvinced?"

Peter glanced at Adriana and said indifferently, "If, however, you can prove that you didn't take the watch, that's fine. Do you have proof?"

"I ...... I ......" Adriana frowned tightly, angry clenched both fists, it is difficult to suppress the anger in her heart, "then you also do not have enough evidence to prove that I stole the phone. What is the use of just a video that is not enough for evidence!"

After careful consideration, it seems that there is no evidence that she did not steal Alonso's watch.

But Adriana knew better, flat out falsely accused, just to get her out of the company.

Then ......

The focus should now be on Alonso.

Raising his eyes, he looked at Alonso and asked, "You claim that I stole your watch worth three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Then can you show me what brand of your watch and what shape characteristics?"

After she asked this question, all eyes turned to Alonso.

"My watch?"

Alonso's eyes were a little troubled.

Nelson nudged Alonso, "I'm asking you, what does your watch look like? What brand is it?"

"Swear to me that you lost your watch, you can't tell me what your watch looks like, can you?"

Just asked the moment, Adriana clearly found Alonso eyes some flash and uneasy, and even some nervous.

Although they all work at Alston Group, as colleagues in the legal department, their income is not low. But if the annual income is not half a million, how can one afford to buy a watch worth thirty-five?

But according to Adriana's knowledge of the Alston Group's legal department, colleagues at the grassroots level earn only about $300,000 to $400,000 a year.

Based on this annual income, if Alonso could buy a $350,000 watch, he would have treasured it and even bragged about it, so how could he have taken it off and put it in his desk drawer?

It's simply not logical.

"Don't be ridiculous, how can I not know the brand of my own watch? It's a Rolex ROLEX SKY-DWELLER series, rose gold, with a market price of three hundred and seventy thousand. I bought it just in time for the event, so I took it down for three hundred and fifty thousand."

Alonso said it with aplomb, the way he said it, as if he had really lost a watch.

"Good. In that case, tell me the model number of the watch, and if it's sure to be three hundred and fifty thousand, I'll give you three hundred and fifty thousand."

At the end, Adriana added, "There are so many Rolex watch models and models, in case you lose a hundred thousand watches but want to blackmail me for three hundred and fifty thousand, won't I lose a lot of money."

"Yah, so really you stole the watch?"

"It's hilarious, I thought she got the vice president to come over and cheer, but I didn't think she was getting the vice president to pay for it."

"Mr. Alston, someone like Adriana is nothing but good looking, I advise you to stay away from her."

"Adri, you really disappoint me, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

"If you steal it, just steal it, make such a big show, and think how innocent it is."

......

Alonso heard Adriana say that, the eyes of the starburst, the corners of the lips can not help but slightly up, with a hint of joy.
