Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 120

"Ouch, Peter, you madman, let go of me! You belong to rape, believe it or not, I'll call the police!"

"You get out of here."

"Peter, crazy, bastard, let go of me!"

......

In the shadow of his anger, the woman's scream was like a stimulant, making him more and more savage, reckless.

Time passes ......

Adriana kept struggling after, tired lying corpse general, and then later, has been tortured worse than death, exhausted, passed out.

But the man didn't let her go, again and again, for who knows how long, seemingly with inexhaustible energy, torturing her to the bone.

Adriana doesn't know how long he tortured that night, but knows that it was the night of a lifetime.

Tired, endless weariness swept over her mind, and she woke up and closed her eyes again, falling into endless darkness.

The following day.

The weather was fine and the birds outside the window were chirping happily, making a moving melody.

It also woke up Adriana.

She opened her eyes, and all she could recall in her mind was the scene from yesterday.

The eyes are vacant, staring at the ceiling, tears, out of the sockets, slowly dripping on the bedding, stained a white.

For some time, she slowly got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Looking in the mirror, looking at the marks on her body, she was filled with disgust, pressed half a bottle of body wash and rubbed it on her body, rubbing it hard, not wanting to be able to rub off a layer of skin.

Two hours later, she walked out of the bathroom and looked at the mess in the bedroom, so she ripped off the sheet that had been imprinted with countless disgusting marks and laid down a clean sheet and quilt.

Then, for the rest of the day, she just nestled in her messy room, sleeping, sleeping, sleeping.

I can't wait to sleep until the end of the world, unconscious.

The phone was turned off and the door of the room was knocked on again and again.

She didn't know who it was, and she didn't want to know who it was.

Falling into the darkness and just wanting to lie like this.

After three days of sleep, knowing that on this day, there was once again a knock on the living room, Adriana did not care, closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

Boom, bang~

After a loud noise, Adriana was completely unsettled, got up from the bed, went to the door and pulled open the door of the room, looking in the direction of the living room door with a wretched and weak face.

Herb found that the door panel of his house had been removed.

She stood still, staring at the chicken nest, looking at the people standing in the doorway, Vivian, Alvin, Flora and Theresa.

"Adriana, are you okay?"

"Adri, what's wrong with you?"

"Adriana, what the hell, we thought you had killed yourself."

"Ms. Hale, Ms. Hale?"

......

Several people saw Adriana's appearance and came over.

And Adriana just glanced at them with a faint gaze, "I'm just sleepy and want to sleep, you guys are disturbing my rest. vivian, send the guests and remember to put my door back on."

Having said that, she silently turned and entered the room, closing and locking the door once again.

There were still voices outside the room, but Adriana didn't want to care.

"Adriana, open the door, I want to ask you, why did you betray Peter, do you know how much you have cost him, Adriana, open the door?"

Outside, it was the sound of Theresa's incessant questioning that gave Adriana a headache.

The voices still kept coming, and she finally pressed on.

Turning around, he walked to the bedroom door, pulled it open, walked out, looked at Theresa with a faint gaze, and said, "Why can't I betray? You should go back and ask Peter instead of me! I Hale Cobb Law Firm was founded by me with great effort, and now it is ruined in his hands, why can't I betray him?"

She suddenly snapped and everyone froze.

Standing in place, staring at her in a daze, there were no words.

Theresa bit her lip and shook her head incredulously, "Adri, you've changed, you've changed. Do you know that because of you, Peter was severely reprimanded by the head of The Alston family, and withdrew her position as president of the Alston Group? It is clear that you betrayed the Alston Group, but he covered you up. You've become the president of the Alston Group, are you satisfied?"

She questioned hysterically, with nothing but deep resentment towards Adriana.

"What did you say?"

Adriana was a bit taken aback.

According to the original plan, she betrayed the Alston Group, and Peter, when confronted by the people of The Alston family, was supposed to reveal that she and Brenden were in cahoots.

At that time, Brenden will put the blame on her, and she, waiting for the police should be arrested, on the grounds of leaking secrets, jailed.

Originally, everything was a sure thing.

But who knew Peter would actually cover for her.

Completely unexpected.

"What's the matter, surprised? Shouldn't this be the result you wanted?" Theresa rebuked.

Adriana frowned in silence.

Her plan was to expose Brenden's threats, as well as the evidence of the recording, when she faced the penalty of the judicial process after being jailed.

It was a great way for Peter to eliminate Brenden as his arch rival, and at the same time, to keep Peter in his position as President of Alston Group and not lose the opportunity to work with Hetrua Firm.

But who knew that everything was expected, and yet such a twist occurred.

"Surprise? There are no surprises, everything is expected."

Adriana adjusted her emotions extremely quickly, looked at Theresa lightly and said, "I'm sorry, I can't forgive Peter. this is the price he should pay."

After saying that, he said to Vivian, "I'm going to rest, send the guest."

Ignoring the others standing in the room, he went straight into the bedroom to rest.

Only this time, she couldn't sleep at all.

Faced with the current situation, all that was left in my heart was guilt and helplessness.

Peter's harboring of her has caused her to feel the pressure and extremely mixed emotions.

However, things didn't end there.

After several days of calm, Adriana adjusted her mood and after returning from her new law office, a man appeared at the door.

Hank.

Peter's assistant.

"Hank, what are you doing here?" Adriana asked.

Hank saw Adriana with a look of disdain and contempt, "Our boss wants to see you for something, please come with me."

"Peter?"

It had been several days since she had seen Peter, and she still didn't want to meet with the man, adding, "Sorry, no see."

"Ms. Hale, if you resist, don't blame me for being ungracious." Hank's expression was austere, and his gaze was flooded with a stern chill.

"It's not like the head of The Alston family wants to see me, is it?"

If it was Peter who wanted to see her, he wouldn't have asked Hank to come over and deliver the message, let alone let him use this attitude.

But if it was Brenden, it would be even less likely to use this method, he would call directly.
