Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 117

The heart beats uncontrollably faster, almost leaping out of the throat.

The tension that almost suffocated her was not because a slap had angered Peter, but because her heart was racing from his sudden and dominant kiss.

That clear emotion sprang up, causing her to panic.

But only with this method to push him far away, the farther the better.

Just because, he is the fiancé of his best friend.

"Adriana, do you want to die?!"

The man's pupils are slightly narrowed, the narrow Danfeng eyes contain a stormy and furious breath, the momentum is forced.

Adriana's body was leaning tightly against the car seat, trying to back up, but there was no room to back up.

"I ...... I'm just trying to keep you awake."

She tilted her head to look out the window with mixed feelings.

The man's angry fist slammed hard on the steering wheel, touching the horn and emitting a beep-beep-beep sound, especially clear in the silent compartment.

The two leaned back in the car seat, staring ahead, the windshield, the wipers kept turning, but still could not stop the trickle of rain on the glass.

After an unknown amount of time, Peter started the sedan and turned on the heat.

Drive, towards the direction of the hotel.

On the way, the two were silent.

It seems that ever since they met Peter, both of them were in the middle of an argument, not at all as quiet as this moment.

It is such a quiet and embarrassing situation.

"That ...... sedan I will contact someone to take care of it tomorrow." The first person to break the awkward situation was Adriana, who took the initiative to say.

"No, I'll arrange for someone to take care of it."

The man replied coldly.

"Oh."

Adriana responded, and then didn't know what to say again.

When she got back to the hotel, Adriana was the first to get out of the car and was about to close the door when suddenly something hit her and she subconsciously caught it and fixed her eyes on a folding umbrella.

"Close the door."

The man said in an indifferent tone.

Adriana mechanically closed the car door and looked at Peter through the glass window, and an indefinable feeling arose inside.

The car parked, Peter got out, heavily threw the door shut and left without looking back.

He walked quickly, taking three steps up the steps and entering the hotel lobby.

Looking at his back, Adriana followed in silently, holding her umbrella.

Back at the hotel, Adriana took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and lay down on the bed tiredly.

Not long after, a knock sounded on the door outside the room.

At this point, Adriana looked at the time and it was 2:00 am.

Who knocks on the door?

She walked to the door, pulled it open and found that the person standing in the doorway was actually Theresa, "Theresa? What's wrong, still up so late?"

Theresa stood in the doorway, but her eyes subconsciously looked toward her suite, as if looking for something.

"Come on in."

Adriana is as smart as she is, how could she not see her intentions?

So pulled open the door and frankly let Theresa in, "Come here, I happen to have something to discuss with you."

Theresa looked around the room and found no clues, then a smile surfaced on her cheeks, "Sorry to disturb you late at night. Do you know where Peter is? He came back for a visit at that moment, and never came back after he left."

Adriana shook her head and said she knew nothing, "You'll know if you give him a call."

"Can't get through."

Theresa looked dull and somewhat lost, "Peter, he doesn't seem to like me anymore."

Head bowed, tears flowing smoothly out of the eyes, lifting a hand to wipe the tears, heartbroken.

Adriana hurriedly took out some tissues and handed them to her, "What are you talking about, it's not true."

The following day.

Peter appeared at the hotel and knocked on the door of Adriana's room, but there was no response for half a day.

At that moment, the door next door opened.

Theresa came out of the room, and the moment she saw him, her face showed joy, "Peter, you're finally back."

Walking up to him, she wrapped her arms around him, "Do you know how worried I was about you when I couldn't see you for one night?"

"Where's Adriana? We're meeting with the partner company later, where is she?" Peter questioned with a cold face.

"Adri? She returned home last night, and at this moment, she should be on the plane."

"Gone?"

"Well, she said it was urgent, so she left. However, the address for your business meeting has been chosen, so I'll just take you there later."

Peter's face sank, his eyes narrowed slightly for a moment, his angry look was like a male lion, very appalling.

After a moment of silence, his thin lips lightly opened, "hurry up and pack, immediately set off, today's cooperation is extraordinary, only success not failure."

"Okay, Peter I'll change my clothes and I'll be ready in a minute."

As Theresa's words fell, Peter's cell phone rang immediately.

He picked up the phone, answered it, and instantly his face changed, "What? Hetrua Firm wants to cancel the cooperation? Okay, I get it."

"What's wrong?" Theresa trailed off.

Peter put away the phone, his face was as gloomy as ink, "Reka from Hetrua Firm wants to cancel the cooperation, the situation is serious."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Shangcheng.

Adriana had just gotten off the plane and walked out of the airport when she saw Brenden standing outside the airport to greet her.

"You're here early enough."

Adriana looked at Brenden and the corners of her lips lifted with a touch of sarcasm.

Brenden propped his elbows on the car window and took off his sunglasses, revealing the face of an evil demon, "Pick you up, how can you do it without early."

"I see that you are thinking of the information in my hand."

How could Adriana not know what Brenden was thinking.

She went around to the passenger side, opened the door and sat down.

Brenden instantly spread his hands, "Information."

"Don't rush, how can I give you the information easily? How about this, let's talk about a deal?"

If we talk about trading, every time Brenden takes the initiative, and this time, with the important confidential information given to her by Peter, she naturally wants to grasp the first opportunity.

"Scarlett the cat has grown, huh?" Brenden fingered Adriana with his sunglasses in his hand and raised his eyebrows in a smile.

Adriana eyes forward, the corner of her lips curved slightly, "Thanks to you, how can I work under your hand if I don't grow up?"

She sighed and asked, "I'd like to know the impact of the Hetrua Firm on the Alston Group, can you tell me about it?"

Now she is holding the important information of Hetrua Firm, which was also given to her by Peter that day.

"Hetrua Firm is a foreign real estate company with considerable strength. Cooperating with Alston Group will be the first step for Alston Group to open its doors and successfully step into the foreign market, and by then, depending on the strength of Alston Group, it will soon occupy the foreign market."

Brenden tells it like it is.

What he says is what Adriana knows.

"In that case, the important information of Hetrua Firm is also very important to you, right?" Adriana raised her eyebrows and a starburst flashed under her eyes, "Three hundred million, the information and the cooperation plan are sold to you."

"Heh heh heh."

Brenden let out a soft laugh, "Did you forget something during your trip abroad? Do I need to remind you that I still have Helen?"

"I forgot about it if you didn't say so."

Adriana smiled, did not have a trace of scruples, lightly spoke, "Peter is also abroad. Would you say that you are faster, or Peter himself is stronger abroad?"

She spoke and added, "As soon as I tell Peter the truth now, you will now be expelled from The Alston family. won't you?"
