Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 121

In summary, the most likely person to want to meet with her is the head of The Alston Family.

Hank's eyes flashed with a little amazement, not expecting Adriana to be so smart.

Eyes flashing, did not speak, considered the default

"Let's go."

Adriana doesn't resist.

After all, she caused a big stir in the Alston Group, The Alston family family head could not be unaware of her existence, it was only a matter of time before they had to meet.

Followed Hank out of the neighborhood and took the car to The Alston family's old house.

The Alston family's old house is located on a hillside outside the city, built on a hill, and is a quaint old house, rather like an ancient courtyard.

After entering, looking inside the atmospheric architecture and vintage style, but can highlight the people of The Alston family's great value, and temperament.

"Are there a lot of people in there?"

When she got out of the car just now, Adriana saw a lot of luxury cars parked in front of the door.

This makes her heart feel insecure and fearful.

"Ms. Hale will know when she gets in there."

Hank speaks very officially.

But Adriana vaguely guessed that Peter and Brenden would be among those present today, because she had seen their car outside in the parking lot.

Thinking about this, Adriana became even more scared.

This kind of battle, have not faced, say not afraid, it is false.

Atrium, parlor.

Hank led her into the hall, which was vintage in style, with a hale and hearty old man with white hair and a white taiji suit sitting on a taiji chair directly above him.

And there were a number of men sitting in two rows of chairs on each side of the hall.

All the people inside looked stern and expressionless.

The moment I saw her enter, all eyes were fixed on her, looking at her like an object, without any kindness.

Adriana's eyes glanced to the sides, but glanced over to find Peter sitting on one side.

The two looked at each other, the man immediately withdrew his gaze, legs folded, a face of contempt and disregard, a strong rusty by people.

Adriana breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was a good thing.

The more rusty and detached she is, the more detached she is, so as not to waste her painstaking layout.

"Old Mr. Alston, Ms. Hale brought it here." Hank stood in front of the old man in the main hall and said respectfully.

Old Mr. Alston played with his skewer in his hand, propped his elbow on the arm of the seat, and turned sideways, his stern gaze sweeping over her, "You are Adriana?"

"Yes, Adriana."

She nodded with a calm and collected look, "I wonder what Old Mr. Alston has called me here today?"

Over the years, a person abroad to experience, she has seen too many big scenes.

Even today, when faced with the elders of The Alston family, I was more or less afraid, but I was able to keep my expression unchanged and calm.

"How could Ms. Hale, as smart as she is, not know what I want from you?" Old Mr. Alston twirled his sandalwood string, and his shining eyes were fixed on Adriana, trying to see something in her.

"Old Mr. Alston, I am just an ordinary girl, I have never seen anything in the world, I am ignorant, I hope Old Mr. Alston will tell me."

Adriana is not condescending, speaks very favorably, the scale is just right.

Old Mr. Alston looked at Adriana and wrinkled his brow before looking at Brenden who was sitting on his left, "Brenden, I heard, she is the woman you like?"

The eyes of the people have looked at Brenden, did not expect the old man would ask this matter directly in the hall.

Brenden's eyes subconsciously looked at Adriana, but collided with Adriana's eyes, and the two looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

It was just a few seconds of silence, but for Adriana, it was an ordeal.

"Well, yes. I liked her from the first moment I saw her."

He nodded and admitted it outright.

This one made Adriana even more unsure.

Brenden has already secured the position of president of the Alston Group, and by definition, she has no use at all now, but why did Brenden say so in public?

On second thought, Adriana recalled the time when Gisselle looked like Brenden said this in front of the media.

If you deny it now, it would be a slap in the face.

"The Alston family is a prestigious family, not something I can climb, Adriana knows what she's doing, so please don't make fun of Mr. Alston.

By rejecting Brenden in front of all the people, she is also breaking the relationship between Brenden and her.

Otherwise, Brenden will use it again and again in the future, so when will it end?

"This girl has self-awareness. It's not like she's framing the old man, is it?"

"Looks like a resourceful one."

"I don't know, it's not an easy one anyway."

......

A few people are pointing at you and me.

"Adri, you ......"

Brenden wanted to say something, then took out a bracelet, "What do you mean? Did someone threaten you? If there is something you tell me, I will protect you, what are you afraid of?"

He got up and walked over to Adriana's side, then took out something, "This is a bracelet I picked out for you a few days ago abroad, and I haven't had a chance to give it to you yet."

Said, slipping a necklace into Adriana's hand, "I am sure that you will like it."

The cool touch of the bracelet fell into her hand.

Spread out a look, the necklace is familiar can not be familiar.

Because, it was her daughter Helen's birthday and she gave you her birthday present when she turned four years old.

"Love it, love it to pieces."

Adriana's eyes stared straight at Brenden, gritting her teeth.

I thought everything had settled, but now it seems that everything has just begun.

What exactly Brenden was going to do, she didn't know, but it was clear to her now that Brenden wasn't going to let her off the hook easily.

The two men looked at each other, blocking out the eyes of a group of people.

But it just so happened that the little gap was left to Peter, who was sitting on the right, and that angle could clearly spy some anger burning in Adriana's eyes.

Peter's eyes narrowed slightly, as if in thought.

"Just like it."

Brenden put his hands on her shoulders, "Although our family is a famous family, but there will be no one to force the matter of relationship."

"Come on, there are people here, Brenden, you go away." A person slightly older than Brenden muttered.

Brenden immediately stepped aside.

Adriana looked down at the bracelet she was holding, and the moment she raised her eyes her gaze involuntarily skewed towards Peter.

The two eyes met unexpectedly, each with a complex look, obscure, deep, who can not read anyone.

"Ms. Hale, I heard that you went with Peter on this trip to negotiate a contract, is that right?"

Old Mr. Alston suddenly asked.

"Yes."

Adriana answered directly, without hiding.

"You're friends with my future grandson-in-law?" The old man suddenly asked this one more thing.

"Yes."

Adriana is concise and doesn't seem to want to say a word more.

That kind of calmness and composure is really impressive.
