Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 101

It's so stupid.

She turned around with a formulaic smile on her face, "Thank you Mr. Alston for reminding me."

Crossed into the living room and removed the key from the wall.

But as soon as her hand touched the key, Peter held her hand down, "Are you hiding from me?"

So obvious, how could he not see it.

"Oops, I'm running out of time, something's really wrong."

Adriana didn't dare to look directly at Peter, struggled to grab her keys and ran out in a huff.

Standing in the corridor, she reached out and pressed the elevator furiously, and after waiting for a while finally waited for the elevator.

When the elevator door opened, she immediately got in, to make sure that Peter did not follow, before a long breath of relief, nervous to death.

This day, Adriana slipped in the park alone all day, hesitant to go home.

On this day, Peter stayed at Adriana's house alone for a long time.

A few days later, the news agency broke the recent news that The Grant Family's youngest son had quit his job as a music professor and returned to The Grant Family Group to inherit the family business.

The Grant Family is overwhelmed with joy.

The Grant Family's parent lamented that Alvin had grown up and was finally willing to inherit the family business, and that they didn't have to worry about not having an heir.

For this reason, The Grant Family hosted a three-day banquet and invited all of Waverly's waste pickers and sanitation workers to eat for free.

And a direct donation of $5 million was made to UNICEF to support children.

News of The Grant Family overwhelmed news of The Alston family and became the news headline of the moment.

Adriana was eating lunch when she saw the news, but after seeing the news, she lost her appetite for food.

"You're the one who told Alvin to go back?"

Just as Adriana was staring at her phone, someone suddenly spoke.

Eyelids slightly raised, looking at the opposite sitting Peter, can not help but the heartstrings tightened, immediately put away the phone, "eat full, Mr. Alston enjoy your meal."

She slinked away, front to back, giving Peter only one look.

When we got back to the legal department, Hayley came up to us, "Adriana, I need to talk to you."

Adriana was so unhappy that she really didn't want to see Hayley.

Because I can tell with my toes what she wants to say.

Naive Hayley dragged her straight to the pantry.

"What is it exactly, just say it." Adriana was short on patience.

"Adriana, who are you to be with Brenden when you are already a mother of a child? Will you please leave Brenden?"

She stood in front of Adriana with sharp words.

It's Brenden again.

Sure enough, it's Brenden again!

"Hayley, you're right to like Brenden, and I have nothing against it. So, don't tell me so much, if you insist on being with Brenden, you can go after him, as long as he agrees to be with you. I, for one, will quit immediately!"

What an idiot.

Hayley was told countless times to stay away from Brenden, but she didn't believe her. Not only did she not believe it, but she was also bewitched by Brenden's beauty.

I really don't know what that brain is thinking.

"Really?"

Her eyes widened, and her eyes released starbursts of unspeakable delight.

"Never break your word. However, I need to tell you that Brenden is not a simple man, but a snake that eats people without spitting bones. If you believe me, stay away from him, the farther the better!"

Forgive her for only being able to say so much.

"Humph, who are you fooling? If he's a snake, how could you possibly agree to marry her? There is no sincerity at all. Since you promised, I'll take it as you promised me. You can't go back on your promise later. I don't believe that with my beauty, I still can't take Uncle."

Getting Adriana's words, Hayley was in a much better mood instantly.

The teenage heart flooded her, reaching out to play with a strand of curly hair at her temples, humming a little tune out of the pantry.

Adriana sighed and raised her hand to rub her brow.

I really think Hayley is incorrigible.

Suddenly, a pair of hands wrapped around her waist, frightening her body and nearly jumping up, "Who?"

She turned around and realized that the person standing behind her was Brenden.

"So afraid of me? Really worried that I'll eat you to the bone?"

Apparently, Brenden had heard what she had just said to Hayley's warning.

"God is out of this world, do you know that people are scared to death?

Adriana broke down a little, flicking her thumping chest in shock.

"It's clear that you are a thief."

"I didn't, just a good-natured warning."

"But you have violated the contract between us. What do you think I should do to punish you?"

Suddenly, he took her hand and brought her face to face with himself.

Adriana leaned her back on the windowsill, her gaze clear, "How can it be a violation? At most, it's badmouthing you."

I hadn't seen Brenden for several days since the accident that day.

Adriana has just had a few days of comfort, and now she sees Brenden and feels like she's going to collapse.

"You little fox."

Brenden smiled instead of being angry and pinched her cheek, "I came over here today to tell you in good faith. Beware of your best friend, not everyone takes you for a best friend."

"What do you mean?"

What is the purpose of suddenly coming to report Theresa?

"Looking at your stupidity, I wonder if I'm looking at the wrong person. Did you ever wonder why THE Atkins family people showed up at the memorial service that day?"

This question even if Brenden does not say, Adriana has been thinking about.

But ......

"Wasn't that person you? You had no children with Gisselle for ten years, he treated you that way, and you had Gisselle scorned by millions at the memorial service was just one of your ploys. Otherwise, how could you be so well prepared, with divorce papers and cheating videos."

Adriana doesn't believe him.

"Yo, still got some brains, doesn't seem very stupid."

Brenden let go of Adriana, stepped aside, took a cigarette out of the case, lit it, and took a silent drag, swallowing a cloud between his lips, "I would have done that, but someone was one step ahead of me."

Side eye, a cold glance, "a word of advice, willing to believe, do not want to believe, I can not help."

"Of course I don't believe you! There's no reason Theresa would do that."

Although there are some conflicts with Theresa after this return, Theresa is not so much as to set herself up.

There's absolutely no reason to do that, is there.

"I'd like to know, who gave you your confidence?"

"Born with it."

"So, you're stupid!"

Adriana: "......"

He stood in front of the window, gazing out of the window, his eyebrows looking grave and thoughtful.

"A woman's intuition is spot on. Your presence is a threat to Theresa, and as to why, you should know better than I do."

He flicked the ashes and held the cigarette butt down in the ashtray, "I've said what I should say, believe it or not, you choose."

Stepped away from the pantry.

When he turned the corner, Adriana suddenly shouted, "So, you used me all because Peter likes me?!"

This time, she was almost certain of Brenden's purpose.

At that, Brenden paused for a few seconds, and then, without looking back, walked away.

Adriana stood alone in the pantry, running through the recent events, and suddenly felt that Brenden's words were not untrustworthy.
