Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 123

"What? Three hundred million? What company is worth three hundred million?"

"Peter, how come we didn't know about this?"

"This girl, at a glance, is not a simple person, really is not so simple."

"Hmph, Brenden actually looked at this liar."

......

Several people in the hall were talking, but at this time, Brenden just dropped his gaze on Adriana, feigning a look of anger not to be spoken.

In terms of acting, Adriana truly feels that Theresa and Brenden are kings.

Suddenly, she remembered the day she was slapped by Gisselle's parents at the memorial service for Brenden's wife, Gisselle.

After that incident, Brenden said that the incident had something to do with Theresa, and now that I think about it, maybe it's really possible.

Think carefully ......

Is she, or is she still her BFF?

"Peter, is there really such a thing?"

Old Mr. Alston was furious when he heard Theresa's words, he didn't know anything about what had happened.

"Yes."

Brenden did not hide and answered truthfully.

He stood up and treated the old man in a very respectful manner.

"What's going on?"

Old Mr. Alston was very interested to know what exactly made Peter dare to pay so much money to Adriana to acquire a small company.

"I know Ms. Hale from my engagement ceremony with Theresa. That time, she saved Luis, and if Ms. Hale hadn't stepped in just in time, I'm afraid Luis would have been ......"

He spoke with a beat, the rest of the words did not say, but the crowd also know.

After that one incident, everyone in The Alston family became more concerned about Luis.

"Later, I found Hale Cobb Law Firm to be a good firm and gave her $300 million for the purchase. The reason is that she is Theresa's best friend, and the second reason is that Hale Cobb Law Firm has a good future. This is my heart."

Just as Peter's words fell, someone questioned.

"Is that so? Even if that's the case, it doesn't take 300 million, right?"

"Yes, you think everyone in The Alston family is stupid and has too much money?"

"Bastard boy, ridiculous!"

......

Several of the elders doubled down on Peter.

But Peter did not change his face and still held his head high, "I, Peter, have always been more suspicious and always felt that it was not a coincidence that she saved Luis, plus he knew Uncle, making me even more suspicious. So, three hundred million is just a test for her."

He reached out and pointed to Brenden.

Brenden immediately picked up on that, "Yes, Peter is right. That was indeed a test for Adri. But Adri had good character and subsequently returned all three hundred million to Peter."

"What? Returned?" Theresa was back surprised, not even knowing about it.

"You said you returned it?"

"That's right, who believes what they say?"

"Yeah, we don't believe that."

......

All the people in the living room didn't believe what they both said.

"Believe it or not, it's not up to me. There is evidence." Peter raised his finger and pointed at Hank.

The company's main business is to provide a wide range of services to the public. If you don't believe me, you can check Mr. Alston's account and it will be clear."

Three hundred million, if it is cut out of the account, there will be obvious traces. Check your personal account at the bank and you will be able to find out in a minute.

"Is that true?"

Old Mr. Alston looked at Peter and questioned.

"Yes."

"That's kind of interesting." The more Old Mr. Alston thinks he can't read Adriana, the more he feels he can't.

Three hundred million she did not even accept, but for a company case chose to retaliate against Peter.

Then he asked, "Ms. Hale, I don't understand one thing: Peter clearly gave you money, you refused to accept it, and now you are retaliating against the Alston Group, what exactly is your intention?"

"Intentions?"

Adriana shook her head and withdrew her gaze.

But the eyes swept a glance but found Theresa that a slightly angry face, the heart can not help but sink.

The Hale Cobb Law Firm was founded by me," he said with a sigh. Old Mr. Alston is the founder of Alston Group, you should know how hard it is to start a company, just like your own child. But Peter forced to buy my company without my consent. When I refused, he used tactics to destroy my company, and naturally I wanted revenge."

"So, you approached Brenden with an agenda as well?"

Mr. Old Mr. Alston was wise and astute enough to see the signs with just one glance.

Only he saw the surface, how could he know the complexity of the situation?

Adriana doesn't want to be used by Brenden, and this time is the best chance to get out of Brenden's grasp.

She nodded her head almost without thinking, "Yes."

Only by making everyone in The Alston family think she was scheming and calculating to get close to The Alston family would Brenden be cut off from using her in any way.

After all, how could someone who betrayed The Alston family be placed in the Alston Group?

"Adri, don't be ridiculous!"

Brenden is naturally aware of Adriana's intentions and of course will not let her get away with it.

Immediately stepped forward and swore in front of Old Mr. Alston, "Dad, don't you listen to Adri. She's not that kind of girl at all!"

Everyone present seemed to have their own calculations, so much so that each had something to say and conspired in their hearts.

True or false, false or true, only the person concerned knows which sentence is true and which sentence is false.

Adriana, on the other hand, is the one who is most awake.

"Uncle, don't let her fool you."

Peter already did not support Adriana and Brenden to be together, now this is a good opportunity to break up the two of them, naturally will not easily let go.

Turning to Old Mr. Alston, he said, "Grandpa, I believe you have seen the gold and have judged it in your mind."

Theresa looked at Peter with slight dismay, unable to understand what he was thinking and a little confused.

Is it possible that he has something in mind for Adriana by trying to discourage her from being with Brenden?

This thought flashed in the mind, the heart, immediately hanging.

Old Mr. Alston from beginning to end is an expression, look light, so that people can not see the joy and sadness to.

Adriana stood quietly in the center of the hall, standing erect and unassuming.

"What is there to believe or not to believe? She has betrayed The Alston family group and caused great damage to the company and must be handed over to the judiciary."

Just at the moment when everyone was quiet, Theresa spoke up.

This one sentence will push her and Adriana's many years of sisterhood into the land of no return.

Adriana was rather incredulous, like a dream, and felt Theresa so unreal.

No, I should say that the past is not so real.

She treated her as her best friend and designed such a play to avoid suspicion, but she didn't expect it to turn out to be a handle to be bitten back by Theresa.
