Chapter 80 – Did you do it to Auntie?
So Peter became more and more suspicious of Adriana’s plans to enter the Alston Group.
“I’m curious, how much did Brenden pay you to be his spy? A woman like you, who is insatiable, you would work for him without $50 million?”
Peter hit the nail on the head.
“Fifty million?”
Adriana didn’t expect Peter to be able to anticipate things, but on the surface she remained calm and collected, “I didn’t even ask for the 300 million you gave me, so how could I look at that mere 50 million?”
“So …”
He spoke with a beat and walked towards Adriana.
Facing the man’s gloomy like ink look, Adriana some scare.
He took a step closer and she took a step back until she had cornered Adriana and stopped.
The man raised his hand and propped his arm on the wall, “What conspiracy purpose do you have in the end? Three hundred million so generously returned to me, will not tell me Brenden gave you enough compensation is it. Or is it three hundred million in exchange for the position of the seventh wife of The Alston family?”
Peter felt that Adriana returned the 300 million to him just to calm the matter and help smooth the way to The Alston family in the future.
Otherwise, with this matter here, what will the people of The Alston family think of Adriana and how can they agree to Adriana, who loves money, entering The Alston family?
This matter is not known.
I have to say that Brenden is far-sighted.
He was so close, his faint scent came over her, familiar and making her blush, her mind reverberating with those unpleasant images of the two of them together.
Adriana swallowed, not without some nervousness, “Since Mr. Alston so cleverly guessed it, what else do I need to say?”
If it is hard to let Adriana to explain, Adriana in turn has no way to explain.
It is better to go along with his steps.
“You …!”
If Adriana denies, Peter may still feel that the matter is conclusive, but Adriana so easily admitted, but let Peter feel that the matter is not as simple as it seems.
“Adriana, I don’t care what conspiratorial purpose you have, it’s best to put away your delusions of grandeur and leave the Alston Group honestly is the right choice for you.”
Peter warned.
“That might be disappointing to Mr. Alston, it’s really not okay. You ruined my company in the first place, now I am homeless, I don’t even have a proper job, only you Alston Group pays well, it’s hard to get in, how can I get out?”
She reached out and gently frightened the collar for Peter, cheeks smiling, “Mr. Alston also do not think too much oh.”
Adriana’s act was unintentional, but in Peter’s eyes, it stimulated his anger.
“What are you doing?”
Her palm tightly clutched her wrist, “You’re not satisfied with Brenden, and now you’re seducing me? Don’t you feel tired of mediating between two men?”
It’s really a woman who doesn’t let people worry about her and is not at all restless.
Adriana was suddenly stunned and unsure.
As an afterthought, I remembered that I had just pretended to be calm for Peter to straighten his collar, just to calm my nervousness and divert my attention in a way.
But who knew it was Peter who mistook it for flirting with him.
“Tired?”
Adriana went along with the trend and shook her head, “Of course I won’t be tired, it might be more interesting to see you and Brenden both turn against each other.”
Suddenly I thought this was a good way to go.
Let Peter and Brenden turn against each other, she enjoys the benefits, and may be able to retreat and protect Helen’s safety at that time.
“Adriana, you’re a real lowlife!”
With a wave of nausea, Peter waved Adriana away and turned to his desk, “Get the hell out of here and stay well within the legal department.”
His words seem to have made the decision.
The decision was that Adriana must withdraw the appeals against both Nelson Dean and Alonso if she wants to stay in the Department of Justice.
This approach directly cut off Adriana’s way back, I thought that the two were locked up in the police station a small punishment, but I did not expect Peter simply do not want to let her life.
“Yes, Mr. Alston.”
Without saying anything, Adriana turned around and left the office.
Who knows, she just pulled open the door of the office, can not help but a shock, standing in place for half a day also no response.
“Adri? You, what are you doing here?”
Theresa, who was standing outside the office door with a thermos bucket in her hand to bring soup to Peter, was about to knock on the door when it opened.
To add to the surprise, the person standing in the office was Adriana.
“Didn’t you already leave the country?”
That’s the most important question, “You lied to me?”
The succession of questions left Adriana speechless.
When I left yesterday, I sent a message to Theresa in the airport, and also sent a location, reporting my position, in order to tell Theresa that I had really left, to avoid her being overly concerned.
But God knows, after being threatened by Brenden, she had to come back with a stiff upper lip.
Now well, in Alston Group, Peter’s office met Theresa, a time of imaginable awkwardness.
Adriana swallowed, for a long time can not say a reason.
Just standing in place, one hand holding the wall, one hand holding the office door handle, just like a statue.
“Theresa, I …”
She just wanted to explain something, but she saw Theresa’s face instantly cold, “Adriana, you disappoint me too much, I treat you as a friend, and you lie to me. Let me ask you, why were you in Peter’s office?”
“I …”
Adriana pulled her lips, just now she wanted to explain something, but the next moment Peter’s voice came from the office, “She has joined the legal department of Alston Group, and will work in the legal department in the future.”
Adriana side glance, eyes like a knife shot at Peter, as if to say: you say one less word will die.
Is it really better to push her into the land of the endless.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“You got into the legal department?” Theresa was amazed, “What the hell is going on here, and what the hell do you mean Adriana? Is it really fun to lie to me over and over again?”
God knows how angry Theresa is at this moment.
She treats Adriana like a good sister, Adriana fools her like a fool, and now she’s in her fiancé’s company.
“Theresa, you’ve got it all wrong. It was Brenden who asked me to come over to work.”
As a woman, intuition told Adriana that Theresa seemed to have misunderstood, so it was important to explain.
“Brenden? Uncle? How do you know Uncle?”
A series of questions came to mind, and Theresa was even more confused about Adriana and what she was up to.
At this time, Adriana suddenly felt her body fall backwards, was pulled aside by Peter, stumbled a few steps to stand firmly.
“Theresa, I’ve told you many times, Adriana is not a good person, stay away from her. You treat her like a good bestie, not knowing that people treat you like a fool.”
Peter’s icy eyes scanned Adriana, raised his hand and pulled Theresa into the office, saying, “She’s with Brendennow, and Brenden is interested in marrying her into The Alston family.”
