It’s a good opportunity to see what’s really going on.
Despite not liking Edward and not hating Flora, Adriana didn’t want to affect Jenkins because of what happened to Flora.
Jenkins is an honest person and should not be involved in any way. At least now, in this situation, she still hopes that Jenkins will be able to focus on the company and develop it properly.
Hayley’s matter, Adriana heart more or less to The Hale family some guilt, now the only hope is that Jenkins can do better, to get ahead, is her only wish.
“Okay then, I’ll talk to Vivian. ”
“Well, that’s settled.”
Hanging up the phone, not much later Peter returned from the meeting.
As soon as he came, he carried Adriana down the stairs, let Adriana how to struggle, the man did not let go.
Finally, Adriana had to let him carry her down the stairs and into the car.
When we arrived at the villa, both Mrs. Alston and Sloane were not in the villa, but … Theresa was in the villa.
“Peter, Adri, you’re back?”
The moment Theresa saw Peter walking into the manor with Adriana in his arms, the smile on her face froze for a few moments, then she quickly adjusted and walked over with a sweet smile on her face, “Adri, what’s wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable somewhere?”
Adriana is very reluctant to deal with Theresa, visible Peter’s face covered with gloom, silent, she did not speak again, seems to be a little too much.
Then he said back, “My foot is injured.”
The attitude is somewhat indifferent, and there is a slight detachment among the words and expressions.
Although once girlfriends, but that is already in the past tense, and now the love between them has long been exhausted.
Adriana knew Theresa’s despicable tactics, but she didn’t expect her to use Peter as a trick to set him up.
It’s still true …
“Peter is really good to you, he really loves you. Seeing you hurt and hugging you, so happy.”
Theresa followed Peter, and although she was speaking to Adriana, she kept her eyes on Peter.
The heart can not help but feel a little depressed, today at the bar, Adriana clearly has seen her with Peter, and actually chose to reconcile with him, not counting all.
Adriana, are you just being mean, or are you thinking about the title of young lady of The Alston family?
Peter and Adriana both did not say much about what she had just exclaimed.
After entering the hall, Peter carried Adriana back to her room, laid her gently on the bed, leaned over and gave her a kiss on the forehead, “Adri, get some rest, I’ll be right back.”
“Well, good.”
Adriana was bored and lying in bed alone.
Because she knew Peter had something to say to Theresa, as to what to say and how to say it, she didn’t know. Nor was she interested in knowing.
Peter walked out of the room and closed the door.
Outside the door, Theresa was standing there, and when she saw Peter come out, she was overjoyed and immediately asked, “Peter, is Adri okay? I don’t see her looking well, should we call a doctor?”
“No need.”
Peter’s face was expressionless, maintaining the cold attitude of an iceberg face, and said to her, “Come with me.”
“Hmm? Good.”
Theresa was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Peter heading in the direction of the study, she immediately followed him.
But in the dark, feeling Peter’s icy breath, she vaguely had a bad feeling.
When he entered the study, Peter said, “Close the door.”
“Oh.”
Theresa answered and immediately closed the door and walked to his side.
Peter sat at his desk, leaning on the executive chair, staring at the computer, his cold face was frozen like a polar glacier coldness, lingering.
The icy aura lingers around, making Theresa’s bones shiver and shudder.
“Peter, what can I do for you?”
She poked her head in and asked cautiously.
Peter tilted his head slightly, and his indifferent gaze swept over her, “Have you done anything recently?”
“Things?”
Theresa was a little baffled, went over everything in her head, couldn’t help but swallow and shook her head, “And please Peter hint, I … I don’t know which ones you’re talking about.”
What did he know?
Why do you suddenly ask that?
“Prompt?”
The man’s harsh, sharp gaze shot straight away, as if a dagger nailed to her body, the heart fiercely flooded with pain.
At first, this man even if he did not touch her, but looked at her eyes were full of warmth, and now because of Adriana’s presence, actually become so cold.
Why?
Is she Adriana that good?
Peter, can’t you see a little bit of good in me, Theresa?
“Theresa, I told you not to use any underhanded tactics on me. I gave you a chance, why don’t you know how to cherish it?”
The man opened the computer, clicked the mouse, and then with a jerk moved the computer screen to her, “Tell me, what’s going on here?”
He would like to know what kind of explanation Theresa is going to give him this time.
On the computer screen, it was clear that she was leaning on Peter’s body, tearing the clothes on her own body, then lifting his hand on her chest and leaning sideways on his chest, causing an ambiguous look.
The moment she saw the video, Theresa’s rosy cheeks were instantly bloodless and as pale as paper.
His body went limp and he couldn’t stop taking a few steps back, his jaw dropped and he shook his head, “Peter, Peter, I … I … I… … I …”
She stammered and didn’t say anything for a long time.
“How did this happen, how did this happen.”
She had done it carefully, why would Peter still know these things? Suddenly, her eyes flashed with some hawk-like appalling look, “It’s Adriana, it’s Adriana, it must be her …”
Snap–
A crisp sound echoed in the study as Peter slapped Theresa’s face so hard that the woman fell directly to the ground, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.
The man looked down at her from above, “I told you not to mess with Adriana, and you’re taking my words for granted?”
This damn woman, repeatedly offending his bottom line, is when he Peter dead?
“Oooh …”
She slowly raised her hand, her slender onion-like fingers gently covering her cheek, feeling her already red and swollen cheek, looking at Peter with aggression, “You hit me? You hit me? Peter, even if I did something small, think about it in your conscience, what have I, Theresa, done to you? Nothing!”
Slowly got up from the ground, perhaps because of that fall, fell all over the body pain, she climbed up when her body stumbled, fell to the ground again.
And then struggled to slowly stand up, messy hair scattered on both sides of the temples, a few playful hair drooping on her cheeks, looking so wretched.
