Wife is a Lawyer

Chapter 65 Leaving Waverly (1)

"Tomorrow Peter will hold a press conference, you can clarify it in person, and I will give you a million

as compensation afterwards."

"One million? Really?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I got it."

The mention of money really worked well, and Brenda easily agreed.

But Adriana can't forgive herself for lying to Brenda.

This one thing is too much suspicion, all things are clearly directed at Peter, she and Brenda is just a

pawn used by the backroom manipulator.

Even Van did the same.

However, Van has already paid an irreparable price, and Adriana does not want Brenda to fall deeper

into it, fearing that Van's downfall will be Brenda's downfall.

The next day, the Alston Group held a press conference and Brenda was there. Peter produced video

evidence and the forensic report of the Public Security Bureau on Brenda's mother's death, all of which

proved that everything was a false accusation.

Peter claimed to the outside world that it was a backroom manipulation by his peers to discredit Alston

Group.

The launch event ended perfectly and the crisis of Alston Group was lifted.

Afterwards, Brenda approached Adriana, who transferred a million dollars directly to her bank account.

Everything seemed to be solved perfectly and a storm was killed in the cradle just as it was brewing.

But that's just the appearance.

The killer behind it does not show up and no clues can be found.

And the Alston Group lost a lot of money because they lost the Coastal Bay Project!

Alston Group.

"Boss, all leads were cut off after Van's death." Hank walked into the office and told the truth.

Peter stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the large Waverly, and fell into

contemplation.

"Pull back and stay put. Have someone keep a careful eye on Brenda."

There was silence for a while before he admonished, and then added, "Strengthen the protection of

Luis recently."

Although Hank did not understand what Peter was trying to do, he immediately ordered it.

He didn't understand, but Peter, the authority, knew everything.

He looked down at a piece of paper held in his hand, the paternity test, identified as Adriana and Luis,

the two compared the results for the probability of mother and child is ninety-nine percent Lawson.

This identification report was delivered to the front desk by unnamed courier and forwarded over.

So, the person behind the curtain has spared this big circle is to test their attitude towards Adriana, by

the way, in testing Adriana is not aware of their mother-son relationship between her and Luis.

Secondly, it is using this chaotic event to create bad publicity for Alston Group and sabotage the bid.

So, who is that guy? And how did he know that Adriana was Luis' biological mother?

Peter's eyes narrowed slightly with a plan.

He then called Adriana, and the phone rang for a long time before the other party answered.

"Who is it? Can I help you?"

The voice on the other side of the phone was weak, and her sickly frailty could be felt through the

phone.

"Adriana, Hayley's been taken care of. I've booked you a flight for 3:00 p.m. and asked Hank to see

you off."

The tone of command, the attitude of no resistance.

Adriana had a moment of hesitation, but Peter categorically would not deceive people over trivial

matters.

And she experienced so much in the country, has long been physically and mentally exhausted, now

can leave is not a good thing.

"Okay, I got it."

Adriana obliged.

This walk, she did not want to talk to anyone face to face.

Parting is her least favorite way to say goodbye, whether it's to Alvin or Theresa, she doesn't want to

say too much.

But inwardly, he decided to send a message to Theresa after arriving at the airport to say goodbye, so

that Theresa would not ask to meet again. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on Adriana's apartment door.

Adriana pulled open the door and found that it was Peter.

"What brings you here?"

After so much experience with Peter, he is not as annoying as he was at first, but can get along

peacefully as friends.

The truth is that there is more guilt inside.

She stepped back and pulled the door open, "Come in."

Did the courtesy really flattered Peter, but looking at the haggard look of the little woman, some

heartache.

Raising his hand, he covered her forehead, "Why don't you go to the hospital if you have a fever?"

"There's no need to go after drinking the fever-reducing medicine."

Adriana closes the door.

Peter walked over to the couch and sat down, "I knew you were leaving and came to see you off."

Looking at the man sitting on the sofa, Adriana's eyes flickered slightly, her heart was mixed, never

thought to leave, the person who sent her was actually the same Peter.

Smiling helplessly, he poured a cup of tea for her.

"Have a seat, I'm going to pack my things."

There was not much to say to him, causing Peter's company to lose a lot of money, she felt guilty, but

did not have the courage to say it.

She went into the bedroom to pack up her things, Peter glanced at the phone sitting on the table, took it

and edited a message to Brenda, [I'm going to Los Angeles this afternoon and won't be back, take care

of yourself. This number is no longer in use, do not return.]

The message was sent and Peter immediately deleted it.

Dingdong-

But in a few seconds, the phone received a reply: [Okay, Ms. Hale have a good trip.

Peter quickly deleted the message, put the phone down, got up and walked to the bedroom, "Anything

you need to clean up, I'll help you."

Adriana, who was folding her clothes, was slightly stunned and rather surprised, "Happy to see me

go?"

From the time she returned to the country until now, Peter has been bullying her to leave the country

and leave Waverly.

Now finally leaving, he should be very happy in his heart.

Peter wood pestle in place, good-looking eyebrows knitted, heart surging a dull ache, actually a trace of

reluctance.

"Would you believe me if I said that I didn't want you to leave?"

"Don't tease me, I would have left even if you hadn't booked me a flight."

"It's good to have self-awareness."

He hooked his lips in a smile, hiding a little panic under his eyes.

Subconsciously, there really seems to be some reluctance to let her go, but there seems to be a feeling

of non-existence, even Peter felt that it was an illusion.

"Take care."

The two men looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, he dropped two words and turned to

leave.

Keeping the weight?

Adriana stared at the man's back, her heart surged with a strange heartache and irony, never thought

that Peter would tell her to take care.

After packing up her things, Adriana called Vivian, "Vivian, I'm leaving the country."

"What, Ms. Hale, you're leaving now? Didn't I say I was going to hang out with you? If you leave now,

what am I going to do?"

"Don't be in a hurry, I have to go there first now. If things are all taken care of on your side you will go

straight over. After all, the company over there needs people too."

Originally returned to the domestic development is felt that the domestic market is better, but also said

Vivian to head a company, but now is only a short time, Hale Cobb Law Firm will be destroyed in her

hands.

Adriana inevitably blames herself a little.

"Well, that's okay." Vivian nodded helplessly.

"I left my car keys at my house, and my house keys under the carpet at the door, so you can come

back and pick them up sometime."

"In such a hurry? Let me go over and see you off."

"No, you should know that I dislike parting very much, it's not like I can't see you again."
