Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 126

"Ms. Hale, do you like Brenden?"

Old Mr. Alston asked Adriana, "I want to hear the truth."

Adriana's heart trembled slightly, and two voices kept shouting in her head, one saying, "No, no. If you say yes, you'll be forever entangled with The Alston family."

One was saying again, "Yes, yes, yes, you must, or Helen will be dead."

Struggling internally, Adriana lowered her head and said, "Like."

Do you like it?

How can you like it?

She had the heart to kill Brenden, but, at the moment, her ability and strength did not allow it.

When faced with a madman like Brenden, she could only hold back.

The two words, which sounded insignificant, fell on Peter's heart, but his eyes deepened by a few, mixed with anger.

"So let me ask you, if you were to be with Brenden, would you be willing to work together with him in the future to help The Alston family?"

Old Mr. Alston asked once again.

"Yes." Adriana had no choice and replied helplessly.

"Hahahahahahaha ...... Good, good, I just love the quickness of your young people." Old Mr. Alston nodded his head.

Then he looked at Brenden and asked, "If I give you two permission to be together, but you have to leave the Alston Group from now on, will you do it?"

When Brenden was told to leave the Alston Group, several people in the room were silent.

This time there were no voices of rejection and no one dared to support the matter in front of Old Mr. Alston's face.

I just secretly hope that Brenden will be 'faint-hearted' and choose to give up the Alston Group for 'love'.

That way, Brenden's brothers in the audience would have a chance to compete with Peter for the Alston Group's presidency and have one less rival.

Like the ancient emperors, are thinking about how to win the crown prince, the interests of the first, how to talk about brotherhood?

Brenden looked back at Adriana with 'affection', reached out and took her hand, smiling extremely softly, "For Adri, I would do anything. She's worth it."

Being pulled by his hand, Adriana felt as if she was entangled in maggots, almost wanting to vomit in disgust, and sweat stood up.

But even so, what could she do?

Still head down, looking at your toes.

Because, once she looked at Brenden's face, she was afraid she couldn't hold back her anger and wanted to give Brenden a few slaps.

"Good. Then I promise you. When do you plan to set the wedding date?" The old man suddenly asked.

Wedding date?

Out of reach!

"This ...... I'm going to ask Adri for her opinion."

In front of everyone, Brenden is a gentle and elegant nobleman, without the private kind of cold and precious.

The eyes are full of intense love.

I don't know that the mouth is full of honey.

"Ms. Hale, what do you say?" Old Mr. Alston asked her.

"Me?"

Adriana looked up and gathered down the anger in her heart, "There is no hurry for the time being, after all ...... after all, I have not known Brenden for a long time and need to ...... grind and grind."

Perhaps Brenden expected that Adriana would not marry him, so he threw the problem to Adriana.

Otherwise, if he delays the marriage with Adriana in front of the old man, he will make the old man suspicious and think that his previous words are miserable water.

But to leave it to Adriana to answer would make everyone think that he favors Adriana and defers to Adriana's choice in all things.

"Hahahaha ...... Good, good, good. This matter is so agreed. All right, it's not too early now, you all disperse, let's have dinner together in the evening."

Old Mr. Alston smiled happily, but everyone knew that the old man's mind was heavy, and could not tell what he was really thinking at the moment.

He got up and wanted to leave.

"Dad, what about Brenden's position?"

"Yeah, what about, how is it arranged?"

"It's not really going to make him leave The Alston family, is it?"

......

Several brothers saw the old man leaving and immediately asked about it, as if they couldn't wait for the old man to rush Brenden out of the Alston Group.

The old man's movements stalled, and sat down again, carefully thinking for a while, said: "Since Brenden is willing to give up his position for Ms. Hale, the old man I also can not be hard to break up the two of them. Otherwise Brenden should blame me, after all, he is also a very old age. In the future, Peter will be in charge of the company, and Brenden will be in charge of the new factory outside the city."

When he finished, he looked at Brenden and asked, "Do you have a problem with that?"

Brenden's cheeks smiled even more, "Thank you Dad for making it happen, I naturally have no problem with it."

"Okay, it's done, it's settled. I'm going to take a break."

The old man left with one hand attached to his back and a leading cane in one hand.

And then, the brothers left.

Within a short span of two minutes, only Adriana, Brenden, Peter and Theresa were left in the large hall.

"Adri, what a congratulations, we will still be good sisters and we will still see each other every day and never be separated. It's so nice."

Theresa immediately walked up to Adriana, smiling like a flower, and took her hand, "Now you must not regret going back to your country, right? You've found someone you can commit to for life, bless you."

She raised her eyebrows and pinched Adriana's cheek in a fake intimate way, " You, you, you obviously like Uncle, but you still won't admit it, so I misunderstood you, really."

A knitted brows and a smile, frank and natural.

It was as if the person who reported Adriana was not her.

Adriana's heart is very complicated, everything that happened today is like a roller coaster ride, seven up and eight down, shaking her heart can not stand.

Facing Theresa, just a stiff smile, "I'm sorry for keeping it from you."

"Geez, it's nothing, we're good girlfriends, we don't care about that." Theresa shrugged her shoulders and shook her head with a generous look.

"Well, that's good."

At that moment, Peter walked over, his eyes glancing at both Brenden and Adriana, "Uncle, Ms. Hale, congratulations!"

"It's not easy to get Peter's blessing." Brenden smiled.

Adriana had a cold face and was silent.

Peter but snorted a laugh, "Uncle, a few years older than me, vision is really not good enough. Women like him, towards the Qin, not afraid of the head of green meadow? "

Brenden put one hand in his trouser pocket and raised one hand slightly to gently straighten Peter's suit collar.

He said in a warm tone, "Could it be that Peter has recently become dissatisfied with his desire? Is his liver so hot?"

Peter looked slightly austere and turned to leave.

Theresa has always known that Peter and Brenden don't get along, and even everyone in The Alston family compound knows it, only that they don't say it to their faces.

"Peter, wait for me."

Theresa called out, then greeted the two, "Adri, Uncle, I'll go first ah."

Then it was off after Peter.

In a moment, only Brenden and Adriana were left in the large hall.

Adriana watched them leave, the slight smile on her cheeks gradually lost its smile, and was replaced by endless anger.
