God knows how angry Brenden is at this moment, widened a pair of pupils, angry facial muscles kept trembling, uncontrollable anger.
“Well …”
With her neck stuck in raw pain and her breath choked, Adriana turned red but held back the pain and said, “I’m in your hands now, you could have just asked Peter for the contract you wanted! Well … cough cough …”
“Hm, that makes sense.”
Brenden waved her off, “It’s more useful to have you in your hands.”
He sat down next to Adriana, took his cell phone, and made an idle gesture to make a phone call with Peter.
“Cough cough …”
Getting a breather, Adriana breathed in sharply, only to choke on the air that was suddenly poured into her throat.
The phone dialed, beep beep beep a few times, Peter Fang answered.
“Brenden, what the hell are you trying to pull?”
Peter’s voice was low and laced with an endless breath of anger.
“Peter, what, that’s the way to treat you Uncle, huh?” Brenden raised his eyebrows and smiled openly.
“I warn you, you better not move a hair on Adriana’s head, or I’ll leave you for dead.”
Through Peter’s words, we can know that Alvin has already called Peter.
“Then tsk tsk … said I’m so scared. Nephew, isn’t it time to understand the grudge between us, eh? In the beginning, you took my love, and now, the woman you love dearly is by my side.”
He looked sideways, smiled morosely at Adriana, and slapped her face with his palm, “Do you think, if I get her killed, will you be sad as hell? Your two children without a mother, tsk … think about it is quite miserable.”
“Brenden, you fucking asshole!”
Peter stormed out and yelled, “What do you want?”
“Want what? The shares in your name, of course, the Clear Bay project, the formula for the new beauty product, and … your Peter’s … life!”
The last word is so clear that it seems to be squeezed out from the teeth.
Listen to Adriana are a burst of sweat.
“Heh, you’re quite greedy, and you’re not afraid to hold out?” Peter chatted with him patiently.
“Okay, don’t bullshit me, you think I don’t know you’re deliberately stalling for time? You have thirty minutes to deliver the stuff to the gazebo on North Qinghua Road, and if you don’t see the stuff, you’ll wait to collect Adriana’s body!”
After Brenden finished, he hung up the phone.
And then took out his cell phone and made a call.
When the call didn’t go through, she looked sideways at Adriana and smiled wickedly, “Guess what I’m calling about now?”
Adriana froze and shook her head, unsure.
“Of course … transfer the tiger and break straight into Peter’s camp! Hahahahahahaha …”
“The big camp?”
She thought for a moment and instantly understood what he meant, “Brenden, you can’t, the child is innocent, if you dare to touch my child, I’ll fight you!”
Adriana wondered why Brenden was so ruthless and added, “Aren’t you afraid Old Mr. Alston will throw you out of The Alston family like that?”
“Throwing out The Alston family?”
He suddenly sat up and slapped her across the face, “I worked hard to plan the layout, and you ruined it all. Now, when things go wrong, do you think I will let Peter live so easily?”
“You …”
Adriana stared straight at Brenden, but her hand went into the satchel and fondled inside.
But Brenden is a smart person, only a glance will find the clues, immediately took Adriana’s hand and opened her bag.
“What are you doing?”
Brenden reached for her phone and noticed that on the screen of her phone was the interface of her real-time location sharing with Peter.
He raised his hand and slapped her across the face, “You’re still a little young to be playing games with me, Adriana!”
Brenden lowered the window glass and flung the phone out.
“Give me back my phone!”
Adriana went to grab it with her bare hands, but the phone had fallen out of the window.
Her eyes were wide and her heart pounded outside.
What to do?
Suddenly, her eyebrows twisted and her eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at Brenden and asked, “I’m curious, what are you doing at Eskon’s beauty salon at a regular time every year? You and Peter were originally relatives, but you hit hard, completely disregarding any affection. It makes me wonder who you are. The fact that you are asking for equity and the cosmetic formulas and projects developed by Alston Group’s beauty has to make me doubt your real purpose. Or is it that Peter is also secretly investigating you? Is that why you suddenly got angry?”
Adriana thinks that Peter is so smart that he has the means and wisdom to be invincible in the market.
She was able to detect Brenden’s abnormalities, it is impossible that Peter could not detect them.
She just wasn’t quite sure what kind of relationship the previous Brenden had with Peter.
It’s only been a few months since she came back from abroad, but Brenden has been eyeing her for a long time, so he must have been fighting with Peter for a long time.
“Hmph, don’t play smart with me. Now you’d better mind your own business!” Brenden’s face was fierce, and a lurid, cold aura flowed from his eyes.
“What about Beatrice? Who is she to you? Wife or … lover?”
When I first met Beatrice, I knew she had a husband in the country, I just never met him or heard her talk much about him.
Now, when Adriana thinks about it, it seems suspicious.
If Beatrice really had a husband, she would have mentioned it from time to time in front of her friends, which is the instinct of married women, and there are only two possibilities for her to avoid talking about it.
One, she is not married at all; two, there is a husband, but can not tell her just.
Adriana prefers the second one.
“Adriana, you know too much.”
Adriana had an idea in mind, but wasn’t quite sure. Things had come to this point, and she needed to have a further chat with Peter about Brenden to determine if what she was thinking was right.
“Where are you taking me?”
She asked with a strong calm and airy voice.
“Where will you take me?”
Brenden’s cold face emerged from the inscrutable smile, and then a hand knife towards her neck, Adriana only felt a pain in the neck, immediately blacked out, unconscious.
…
On this side, Peter rushed to Alvin’s location.
Alvin smashed the car window and escaped with Vivian through the window.
“How are you guys doing? Is everything okay?”
Peter came over immediately after the car was ready and was concerned.
“It’s okay.”
Alvin shook his head, feeling a little guilty, “Peter, I’m sorry I … couldn’t take care of Adri.”
He never expected Adriana to be so stubborn and not to listen to him at all.
“Mr. Alston, will you hurry and save Ms. Hale?”
Vivian’s eyes were swollen with tears as she thought about Adriana, and in a hurry, she pulled Peter’s sleeve, “Mr. Alston, please, you must go and save her.”
“I know.”
Peter jawed slightly, at this time a car came behind, Hank got out of the car, Peter said, “Escort Vivian and Alvin back first.”
