Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 139

Peter stepped in front of her, "Take my money, you should fulfill your duty."

"Hey, Peter, what's wrong with you? That's clearly the money I just gave you." She was furious.

"So that's it."

Peter seemed to understand Adriana's meaning and immediately took out a pile of RMB from his wallet and directly stuffed it into her shoulder bag in a domineering manner, "Now, is that okay?"

Forced to buy and sell!

"You ......!"

Adriana gas chest heaving, anger straight to the brain, just want to refute what, suddenly thought of something, then immediately said: "Yeah. But ......"

Raising a finger to point at the surroundings, "Mr. Alston is not always so impatient to act in front of the Public Security Bureau, right?"

Smiled and continued, "Vienna Hotel, you get a room, give me the address, I'll be there after I take care of things."

Peter froze, seemingly not expecting her to answer so readily.

"Okay, I'll wait for you, better not play any tricks for me." After saying that, the man directly got into the car and left.

Start the sedan, the man turned the front of the sedan, a meaningful glance at her.

After he left, Adriana went straight to the police station.

At the police station, she saw Brenda.

"Uhhhhhhh ...... Ms. Hale, you're finally here. Oooh ...... I'm really scared ......"

Brenda looks wretched, crying with rain, I can see the pity.

Those red and swollen eyes were enough to show just how long she had been crying.

"What is going on? How did you get bullied by those people? Where is everyone?" Adriana handed over a tissue and asked with concern.

Brenda pointed over there, "People are already being held in the holding cell. I ...... I didn't think it would happen. I'm ...... so scared."

"Okay, well, I'll take you back first. It's good that we're okay, it's good that we're okay."

Adriana calmed her down and patted her shoulder, "I'll go check you in, let's go back first."

Ten minutes later, Adriana signed and took Brenda away.

On the way home, Adriana asked, "The punks, you can either go private or maintain the right to hold them accountable. The attempted rape of a woman also requires several years of imprisonment. Think it over."

"Okay. Please Ms. Hale."

Brenda had her head down, clutching a tear-stained tissue in her hand, emotionally drained.

Because she has also had a lot of interaction with Brenda, Adriana naturally knows her home address.

Escort her to the isolated alley, stop the car and the two get out.

Looking at the dark alley, Adriana was a little worried, "I'll walk you up."

In the end, she had already been bullied once, and Adriana was a bit worried, taking her upstairs while advising her, "The terrain is too remote, so either you should go home early at night or find another place. It's too unsafe, after all, you're a girl."

"Well, that's what I thought. But ......"

Walk to the stairway, there is a sound-controlled light, the two just reached the third floor, suddenly found the stairway reason threw a pile of things and suitcases.

"How did I ...... get my stuff in here?" She immediately took the key and went to open the door, but no matter how she opened it, she could not open the door.

"What's going on?" Adriana was unsure.

Brenda bit her lip, didn't say anything, then tapped on the other door across the street, "Landlord, landlord, open the door."

Squeak-

The door opened and a short-haired woman in a long, loose nightgown stepped out, "What for?"

"Landlady, why did you throw my stuff away?"

"You don't know why I'm throwing things away? You don't count how long you've been behind on your rent. By now you still owe me two months' rent and you haven't paid me, so it's good enough that I'm not pursuing it. Get lost ......"

The landlady did not have a good attitude, waved her hand and drove her away with some disgust.

"I will give it to you, I will give it to you in a few days."

"I've been hearing this for three months, go, hurry up, don't be an eyesore here!" The landlord looked disgusted and closed the door with a bang.

"Brenda, what's going on? Didn't I give you a million before?" When dealing with Peter's matter, Brenda sued Peter and later found out that he was misled and was being counted.

Avoiding any personal repercussions for Peter at the time, Adriana took the money and gave it to Brenda to calm things down.

It's only been a month or so, how could she not have the money to settle the rent?

"I ...... Ms. Hale, I'm sorry. I ...... I ...... that money my dad paid off his gambling debt, and the rest ...... I didn't have time to give to my landlady before my dad had an accident. I gave it all for medical bills and now ...... am broke."

As she said that, tears came to her eyes.

Poor, miserable look, to be more desolate.

That look, compared to the previous her, the most down time is not as down as Brenda.

"How is your father now? The driver who hit him hasn't been found yet?"

This time has been a variety of things entangled, Adriana self-care, simply do not have time to care about Brenda.

"My dad is awake, but his brain is banged up and he's a little unconscious." She bowed her head and murmured.

This now made Adriana a little worried, "So what now, what are your plans?"

Brenda shook her head and squeezed her hands together in a bureaucratic manner with absolutely no intention of doing anything.

Adriana looked at the time, it was already after 11 pm, almost 12 pm.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go first, let's find you a hotel to stay." Adriana really has no choice, can't just watch her being kicked out without a place to stay.

The heart is more or less pity Brenda.

For no apparent reason her mother died, then she was kidnapped, and after that her father was in a car accident.

Although Adriana knows that Brenda is a pawn to be used, she is still a little worried about her.

"No, it's not necessary." Brenda shook her head no.

"So what do you want to do? Already looking for a house?"

"No, no."

"So instead of going to a hotel, you're going to sleep on the streets?"

"I ...... I ...... I don't have any money."

Brenda lowered her head and spoke in an extraordinarily small voice, without any bottom.

"You ......"

Adriana sighed, "I really don't know what to say, a million dollars!" She shook her head helplessly, "Okay, you can go live at my house now. At least it'll be okay for now."

She was ready to leave Waverly before, so she intended not to pursue the matter about Brenda being used, but now she cannot leave Waverly for a while.

And Brenda is now accident-prone and always calls every time, not prohibiting Adriana some doubts.

Could it be that there is some conspiracy purpose behind it?

Think carefully.

She then asked, "You don't have any friends after all these years in Waverly?"

Brenda shook her head, "No. We're from the country and haven't been in Waverly very long."

"All right, let's go."

Adriana sighed and took Brenda straight back to her home.
