Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 212

Brenden is also experienced and must have been defensive of Peter, which is why he was reluctant to talk to him too much.

"Narrow it down, he's bound to call again later, keep monitoring."

With that, he made another call to his special assistant and asked him to prepare $5 billion.

After hanging up the phone, Alvin asked, "You're not really going to give Brenden 5 billion, are you? By the time the money is given, depending on his methods, he may not necessarily release Adri."

"With your bullshit."

Peter all but looked like I already knew.

Not long after, Peter received a call from Hank, "What's the situation there?"

"Fortunately we came just in time, Mrs. Alston and Miss and Miss Lindsay received a shock and were not seriously hurt. Now my brothers and I have stood guard here."

Hank told Peter the specifics of Orchard House as it happened.

"Good. Give me a good fight, protect everyone, in case there is any mistake, the consequences will be self-responsible."

"Yes, boss."

Hanging up the phone, Peter leaned against the car owner, closed his eyes and frowned sadly.

Now he can't find Adriana, he is distracted, plus he knows Brenden, he knows he is a ruthless person, that's why he is so worried about Adriana's situation.

"Big brother, don't worry, Adri is smart and should be able to protect herself."

Alvin and Peter have always been good brothers, although Adriana is now with Peter, he as a brother, even though the envy will not go to hold a grudge.

Peter was silent, and the atmosphere in the carriage seemed slightly depressing.

After waiting for quite some time, Peter's phone rang once again, "Is the money ready?"

On the other side of the phone, Brenden directly questioned about the money.

Open the door and no nonsense at all.

Peter gave a look to Alvin, signaling him to hurry up and trace the exact location of the call.

At the same time stalling for time, "I really can't get $5 billion for a while, I already have people preparing for it. You also know that the company several projects in operation operations, not so large cash."

"Peter, what kind of trick are you playing with me? You are the president of Alston Group, how can you not have a mere 5 billion, Adriana is in my hands now, you are in love with her, then I want to see, is money important or your beloved woman important. Hahahaha ......"

His almost maniacal laughter came over the phone and was extremely harsh.

"Brenden! I'm warning you, if you touch a hair on Adriana's head, I'll kill you!"

"Yo yo yo yo, I'm so scared. Nephew, angry hair for the redhead, it really calls for it. Now you are given a countdown of ten minutes, if the money does not appear on the account, you wait to collect the corpse for Adriana."

"Wait!"

Seeing Brenden about to hang up the phone, Peter shouted, while watching Alvin keep on operating the computer, his ten fingers flying on the keyboard.

He raised his hand in a gesture and put up two fingers, meaning two minutes short of a good time.

Peter said, "Ten minutes later, give you a billion, the rest give me time to slowly raise. uncle, do not be impulsive, if Adriana died, you can not get a penny, but also wanted, but the loss is not worth it."

"Two billion, not a penny less."

"I can give you at most fifteen billion, no more. It is still some time before the bank opens its doors to operate with large amounts, and you are for deliberately making things difficult."

Not to say he didn't have that much for a while, and even if he did, there was no way Brenden would get his way.

This madman, doing things is really unbelievable.

"Spite? Hmph, you and that bitch Adriana ruined all my plans, a mere 5 billion is considered a bargain for you."

"So, you went to a lot of trouble to try to swallow the Alston Group, but I don't understand one thing: If you wanted to swallow the Alston Group, why did you pretend to give up the opportunity to be the president of the Alston Group in order to protect Adriana's well-being?"

The last time I traveled with Adriana to Los Angeles, Adriana lost a partnership with a large company in Los Angeles.

Brenden later stepped in and successfully took the contract and signed it.

Adrianais held accountable by Old Mr. Alston and nearly sent to the police, but Brenden takes the position of president of the Alston Group to protect Adriana's well-being.

The choice went to a small factory.

"Humph, I am not afraid to tell you now. What I want is not the Alston Group, but to swallow the Alston Group. I went to great lengths to place Adriana by your side to get all sorts of confidential information, but I never thought that this woman is a waste, and has a restless heart just like you, actually secretly investigating me, really damn!"

Thinking about this, Brenden was furious and gritted his teeth in anger, " I really want to lynch this woman who ruined my plan."

"Five billion, I'll give it to you. By 8:30 tomorrow morning, after the banks go to work, I'll make sure the banks transfer it to you right away."

Peter continues to stall for time, and also feels deeply Brenden's hatred for Adriana and his big, shocking secret.

I think Brenden is more than one person, there must be someone behind the plan.

"OK!"

Alvin made an OK gesture and pointed to the computer screen, which circled Brenden's location in Da Nang Mountain.

"In ten minutes, I want to see two billion, otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless."

Brenden hangs up the phone.

Peter immediately took out his walkie-talkie and ordered, "Prepare my helicopter immediately, right away!"

The situation is urgent and Peter is a little panicked.

Meanwhile, Da Nang Mountain.

"Well ...... hurts ......"

The unconscious Adriana suddenly woke up, raised her hand and rubbed her neck, only then realizing that she was trapped with her hands and feet and left in a corner of a ramshackle room.

Cement floor, covered with some straw, as if the rural cattle shed seems to be.

"This ......"

She opened her eyes to survey the surroundings with a murmur, but the few men who were chatting did not notice that Adriana had awakened.

Adriana leaned against the wall, squinted her eyes and pricked her ears, watching every move the men made.

"Where's the boss?"

"Went out and hasn't returned by now."

"Then when do we have to wait? This woman is Mr. Alston's person, if anything happens to him, can the boss protect our safety?"

"Tied all tied up, what's the trouble. Don't forget, when you finish this order, you will have a reward of five million dollars, and when you go abroad, you can go wherever you want."

......

A few people are talking about you and me.

Listening to the message, Adriana could only be sure that Brenden was not in this person.

But these four people have big waists, muscular, a look is a practitioner, she ...... can do it?

Adriana thought for a long time and felt that she could not just sit back and wait.

"Ouch ...... ouch, well ...... big brother, I ...... have a stomachache, ouch, my stomach hurts."

She fell to the ground and rolled around.

This trip, suddenly found sitting on the straw stained with blood.

Blood?

Her first thought was whether she was injured, but she moved and found no pain anywhere.
