Squeak Squeak-
Suddenly, the walkie-talkie on Brenden’s body buzzed.
“Boss, Mr. Alston from The Alston family is here.”
Brenden and Adriana both looked at each other, looked at each other and were silent.
“Got it.”
Brenden gripped the intercom and spoke to the other side, “Send him in.”
After putting down the walkie-talkie, Adriana put the three photos on the table in her bag, then picked up the cup of tea Beatrice had poured for her and said, “Do you mind if I take refuge on the second floor?”
“Make yourself at home.”
With permission, Adriana went upstairs with her tea, found a room most conducive to observing the hall on the first floor, pushed the door open and walked in.
Brenden gives Beatrice a look and sits quietly, waiting for Brenden to arrive.
Three minutes later, a familiar figure appeared in the hall.
Brenden was still leaning on the sofa, and the moment he saw Peter, he didn’t move, but asked with a curious face, “Nephew, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, coming to my humble abode, did you miss me?”
Peter, who was dusty, with a slightly tired face, said, “Has Adriana been here yet?” as his first words upon seeing Brenden.
“Coming through.”
Brenden answered directly.
Hearing Brenden’s words, Adriana’s body trembled and she turned slightly white with fear.
But the next moment you hear Brenden continue, “Come and go.”
“Did she see you?”
Peter’s face is tense, and his voice is slightly raised, and when you listen carefully, there is some urgency.
“What, is the young nephew so nervous about Adriana? Tsk, tsk, tsk, what do you think it would be like if she knew how you treat me?”
Sitting on the sofa, Brenden tilted his head and laughed with a light and evil smile.
Peter still had a gloomy face, the air of anger ran straight to his head, but he still acted indifferent, “I ask you, did she see you.”
“If she sees me, do you think she’ll leave? Don’t forget, you’re half responsible for what happened at Waverly, and now Adriana only hates me. Tsk, little nephew, you’re making it hard for me to be a man.”
Brenden shook his head with a sigh, took his tea, and continued to drink it.
Peter grunted coldly, not going to stay, turned around and walked away, while not forgetting to say, “Stay away from Adriana, or else, don’t blame me for not being polite.”
People, just like that, left in a big way.
And then Adriana but this scene in the eyes, through the doorway of the room that a gap, can still clearly see Peter that a familiar face, hear the familiar voice.
If it was set aside on a regular basis, she would have felt close.
But at the moment, she felt an unprecedented coldness, and panic, welling up in her heart.
He’s half responsible for what happened to Waverly?
What does this mean?
What is Peter’s role in front of Brenden, in front of her, or in front of The Alston family?
Rao Adriana that smart, this moment but deeply feel helpless, simply can not see Peter.
Walked to the back of the room by the window, standing behind the curtain, through the gap watching the man who gradually walked away, suddenly, the man’s pace a beat, as if some sense of general turn back, looking in the direction of this side.
Adriana’s heart was in shock and she immediately hid behind the curtains, her heart thumping and a shuddering feeling like being placed in an abyss swept through her body.
For a long time, the man moved again, stepped away, got into the car, and walked away.
“Peter, what role did you really play?” She murmured, “And who am I supposed to trust?”
Adriana suddenly felt like she was in the middle of the ocean, her feet were a flat boat, swinging with the waves, looking around the endless sea, the end is the sea and sky.
That lonely and helpless feeling made her feel abruptly cold and appalling, yet frightened and afraid, causing a burst of coldness to surge up her back.
After waiting for Peter’s car to leave, Adriana walked out of the room.
Pulling open the door to the room, the person standing in the doorway turned out to be Hayley.
She gazed at Adriana with an angry face, her stern gaze fixed on her as if she could stare holes in her body.
“Adriana, I’m warning you, Peter is with me now, please don’t bother him in the future. You already have your Mr. Mo, and then there’s Alvin, so can you please stop stealing from me?”
For love, she is obsessed with madness.
But in Adriana’s eyes it was a very idiotic performance.
“You’re together? I’d love to know, where’s the guy?”
She raised an eyebrow, her gaze fixed on Beatrice, sitting next to Brenden in the first floor lobby, and asked Hayley.
“She? Geez, she’s just a friend of Brenden’s brother, a female friend with a good relationship.”
The word ‘just’ is heavily accented, as if worried that Adriana won’t understand.
“A female friend with a good relationship?”
Adriana snickers, thinking Hayley is outrageously idiotic.
This kind of stupid woman, in the future must not even know how she died, will only add trouble to her.
“I hope you don’t regret it.”
Adriana didn’t want to persuade her to turn back. For Hayley, she only wanted to be with Brenden now, and it would be harder than ever to pull her back.
She doesn’t want to make a pointless effort and just hopes that as time wanders by, Hayley will soon discover Brenden’s true nature herself.
Stepping around Hayley, Adriana came down the stairs and walked up to Brenden, “Hayley is here with you, but I don’t want to see anything happen to her.”
“No problem.”
Brenden readily agreed, while gazing at Hayley on the second floor and giving her the seductive, warm smile exclusive to mature men.
Everywhere in the deliberate effort to spare, giving Hayley the illusion that Brenden likes her.
Foolishness is unattainable.
Adriana shook her head with a sigh and handed a business card to Brenden, “Here’s my number, contact me first if something comes up.”
Brenden picked up the business card and looked at the hot gold lettering on it and couldn’t help but smile, “I never thought that we would become comrades in the same trench again.”
“Life is full of surprises and accidents, I hope Mr. Alston will not let me down.”
Adriana left a message and took out the three photos once more, placed them on the table, and left the hall directly afterwards.
From the time she appeared here, she has been strong to bear the wound on her foot, so before coming, she used her own way to find anesthetic, applied to the wound, then wrapped in thick gauze, and wore a pair of ankle-length flat shoes, black leather upper, any how bleeding is unlikely to be seen.
She kept her posture as if she was unharmed, not knowing that the anesthetic under her feet had already lost its effect, causing her lips to turn white with pain, but she had put on lipstick to cover it up perfectly, otherwise she would have been discovered by Brenden to be in a mess and lost the ability to take control of the situation.
She got into her car and drove away.
Just as the people were leaving, Beatrice sat down next to Brenden and asked, “Do you think she’s really trustworthy?”
Beatrice had a good relationship with Adriana in Los Angeles for several years, but this time, after Adriana knew about her relationship with Brenden, she ignored her, which surprised Beatrice deeply.
Brenden looked at the table, Adriana when leaving the three photos, said expressionlessly: ” Believe it or not, what does it matter to me? Just be yourself.”
