Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 188

"Ms. Hale, are you trying to get the old man to stand in the doorway and talk to you?"

The maid on the side spoke up at the right time.

Adriana came to her senses and nodded, "Oh, oh, come on in."

Open the door of the room and make a gesture of invitation for the two to go in first.

The two men entered the room where Old Mr. Alston was sitting on the sofa while Old Mr. Alston's personal maid was standing by.

Adriana made a cup of tea for Old Mr. Alston, "I only have West Lake Longjing at home, so Old Mr. Alston will have to settle for it."

Old Mr. Alston pestled his cane, resting his hands on the handle, glanced at the cup of tea, and then at her foot, "You hurt your foot badly?"

"Fine, fine." She smiled sardonically, "I wonder what Old Mr. Alston's visit today is about?"

Old Mr. Alston's eyebrows wrinkled, holding a tealight and taking a sip of tea, the calm and relaxed look seems to deliberately oppress Adriana with its own aura.

However, Adriana, who had been through the storm, was able to cope with him despite her fears.

"Old Mr. Alston has something to say."

Adriana stood across from him with a nonchalant, unassuming attitude

But as the head of the family, she was standing and Old Mr. Alston was sitting, to the point where she was a bit embarrassed by the way she was taking over.

Old Mr. Alston's hand holding the tealight stalled slightly and slowly put down the cup, his gaze glanced around the living room and asked, "Where is Yan girl?"

So, Old Mr. Alston is here to ask for her?

Suddenly, Adriana's heart plummeted and a bad feeling came over her.

"She's not here. old Mr. Alston is here for Helen today?" Adriana asked bluntly.

What comes around always comes around.

Today in the hospital, she considered this matter.

How could someone from The Alston family let their heir wander off when Peter had spoken in public about her relationship with him?

But, this time, no matter what, she had to keep Helen.

And, at all costs.

"Girl, I don't care how things work out between you and Peter, but Helen is my The Hale family's child ......"

Without waiting for Old Mr. Alston to say anything, Adriana said directly, "But she is also my child, her last name is Mu, and her name is Helen."

The attitude is firm and slightly emotional.

It was as if they were worried about Old Mr. Alston coming over and grabbing someone.

Old Mr. Alston raised one eyebrow and looked at her with deep eyes, "You are right. Only, if there was no Peter, where did you get the child? As far as I know, Peter paid you two million dollars for your services back then, did you break the contract?"

"Old Mr. Alston, you're not making sense when you say that. Even though he owes the contract, the contract only says to have the children, it doesn't say that the twins have to be both his. Not to mention that Helen suffocated after birth and it was you The Alston family who abandoned her, not me. So to come over here now and say this isn't ...... quite heartbreaking."

Adriana tried to control her emotions and tried to avoid a head-on confrontation between herself and Old Mr. Alston.

At the same time, I deeply sympathize with myself, why is she the one who suffers whenever something happens?

God is still so unfair.

"Hmm."

Old Mr. Alston nodded, his expression changed slightly, and continued to drink his tea with his head down.

See his tea bottom, Adriana again obediently for him to refill the tea, elegant demeanor, respectful attitude, so people can not be faulted.

"I know it's indeed hard for you to bring up a child by yourself as a woman. Tell me, how much pay do you want?"

The tone, rather than negotiating, fell on Adriana's ears as more of a handout.

She cried, "Old Mr. Alston, I know your family is rich. But I'm not a money-lover and have no interest in it."

His offer was politely rejected.

"Then ...... I can help you restore Hale Cobb Law Firm and can get back every employee in your firm and help you get back as good as new."

As he spoke, he spread his hands, an atmospheric gesture with a few arrogance.

Adriana shook her head, "I'm a straight shooter and don't like to beat around the bush. To put it bluntly, if Old Mr. Alston came over on this trip to take Helen, to tell you straight out, no way."

"Heh, what a big mouth. In all my years of life, I haven't seen many people dare to be so arrogant in front of me."

"Old Mr. Alston misunderstood, I am not arrogant, but protecting what I want to protect. You came in person, but only to take Helen, just because she is related to The Alston family. But why can't you think differently? I am also a human being, Helen's mother, who has worked hard for four years to bring her up, and now, when you ask me for someone, have you considered my feelings? Or are all of you in The Alston family so selfish?"

Bang--

Old Mr. Alston was furious and slammed the table, "Ignorant youngster, arrogant!"

Having dealt with Old Mr. Alston a few times, Adriana has rarely seen him this angry.

But when it comes to Helen, Adriana won't budge an inch.

"Why should Old Mr. Alston be angry, I was just speaking on the matter."

"On the matter? I don't want to be a part of this. I don't care what happened between Brenden and Peter and you, but what else do you want?"

Old Mr. Alston blew his beard and glared in anger, and yelled in no good way.

Those words made Adriana feel aggrieved.

Naive tears are worthless, and no one will care about her feelings if she cries any more pitifully.

People, being selfish, sometimes only want to defend what they want.

"Old Mr. Alston is joking, I'm easily satisfied. As long as Helen is by my side, everything is fine. As for what happened between Brenden and Peter, you are a wise man, and there are some things you can guess without more than I can say, and all I can say is that I am the victim. However, each of you did not care about my feelings. I live, so I deserve to suffer this?

People have tempers, can tolerate, tolerate again and again, but if the bottom line is really involved, it is easy to explode.

"That's your business."

Old Mr. Alston raised his hand, brushed the non-existent dust from the corners of his tangled clothes, rose, and sighed, "What should be said, I have said, and give you three days to consider."

He pinned his cane and walked out, followed by the maid.

Adriana stood in place, cold and desperate face gradually showed some smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of the eyes, seemingly ironic to the extreme.

Lame walked to the couch, leaned back, closed his eyes, and remembered the recent events.

She can finally feel what is called 'call the sky to the ground' of despair.

At this moment, she is trapped in a cage, the back of the enemy, being held in check, want to struggle to get out, how easy it is?

God is really unjust.

Vivian disappears, The Alston family fights for Helen, and Edward forces her to leave.

She couldn't decide which way to go.

Just know that the storm is now in full swing and she is in danger.

After sitting alone for a while, she couldn't help but look at the news on her phone, and as expected, Alston Group's stock fell today, stopping at the opening.

The result is even worse than Edward said.

Adriana held the phone, and a deep sense of powerlessness arose inside her.

Life, really cruel, cruel can be a good person tortured crazy.
