Old Mr. Alston warned.
Adriana walked aside, took a pen and wrote down the bank account number and information, and placed it in front of the old man, “I am a businessman, and the most important thing is honesty. You can rest assured.”
“Good!”
Old Mr. Alston got up, and the butler beside him took the note she had given him and left.
After the drop-off, Adriana sat on the couch with extremely mixed emotions.
Suddenly a smile, “what sad? Without Helen but have a billion, is not better? If you want to have children, you can have them any way you want in the future. With money, you can afford to have a basketball team.”
She got up and couldn’t help but smile and sing
I don’t feel bad. Don’t underestimate me.
What can not survive? Who says I can not drink
I drank more than anyone else and walked a little bumpy.
And much better than you. I’m still happy.
…
She sang a song called “I am happy”, walked to the wine cabinet and took a bottle of red wine, poured a glass full of red wine and drank it all.
Then put down the glass, continue to sing, continue to pour wine, continue to drink.
A few glasses of wine into her stomach, she put down her glass, hummed music and went to the bedroom, closing the door behind her.
Immediately thereafter, hysterical voices erupted inside, ooooooooooo …
The cry seems to be venting a certain emotion, giving vent to the owner’s repressed feelings and bad mood, listening to it makes the heart break.
Adriana in the end is reluctant to leave Waverly, reluctant to leave Helen, and it seems … reluctant to leave Peter.
But here, after all, it does not belong to her.
She loves the daughter she raised with her own hands, four years of affection, has long been integrated into the blood and bones, but she does not have enough ability to protect Helen, naturally do not have the courage to take away that little girl.
Because, she is worried that if she takes away the child, the future will be a life of death and bloodshed, how can she go to give Helen a stable home?
Instead, let her be a carefree little princess in The Alston family.
At least, there are people from The Alston family who care about this little girl.
After spending the morning at home, Vivian knew that Adriana was in a bad mood, so she couldn’t bear to bother Adriana.
At noon, Vivian made the meal and Adriana came out to eat.
At this moment, Adriana’s phone rang, she glanced at the phone, it was a message alert from the bank, showing that one billion arrived.
The corners of her lips lifted slightly and she smiled.
As her phone received the message, not long after, the news outside broke.
Adriana asked for a billion dollars to leave The Alston family”, “Peter’s fiancée asked for a billion dollars”, “Adriana gave up her daughter for money”, “Adriana gave up everything for money”, “Peter looked away and fell in love with a gold-digger and was cheated of a billion dollars”… …
When Adriana saw the mobile news, Vivian also saw the mobile message.
“Ms. Hale, it’s … better to pack up and get out of here.” Vivian kindly reminded.
The Alston family’s evil intentions have made the matter public knowledge, cutting Adriana off and pushing her straight to the bottom of the abyss.
Everyone knows she has a billion, so wouldn’t that …
The Alston family was trying to get her killed.
“It’s okay, let’s eat first.”
Adriana shook her head with a bemused look, seemingly unconcerned about the matter at all.
After the meal, Adriana washed the dishes and walked out. She said to Vivian, “Okay, you go ahead, I have something to do later.”
Vivian pursed her lips, wanting to say something, Adriana saw what she was going to say and interrupted her directly, “Let’s go, I’m really not used to you being here, I feel so crowded at home with one more person.”
“Ms. Hale …?”
“Come on, grind it out, hurry up.”
Adriana pulled Vivian and pushed her straight out, closing the door behind her.
She sat alone in the house for a while and then began to pack her things.
Waverly doesn’t belong after all, and it’s time for her to leave.
At home, she packed all her things in three trolley cases.
But looking at those things, Adriana suddenly smiled, and then, pulling the trolley case out, dropped it in the neighborhood garbage pond.
It’s back again.
Since we are leaving, we will go clean, all the things that should not be left behind.
Knock Knock-
There was another knock on the living room door.
Adriana frowned, “Who is it?”
She pulled open the door in an annoyed mood.
“Adri?”
After opening the door, the party realized that the people standing at the door were Theresa and … Peter.
She listened as Theresa called her name, but Adriana’s eyes fell on Peter.
The man’s face was cold, and he seemed to have a sense of indifference and detachment towards her.
That feeling, like an invisible hand tightly strangled her throat, so that she could not breathe, even the internal organs are flooded with pain, sweeping the whole body, the pain of the heart.
After a moment, she withdrew her gaze and looked bashful, “Is something wrong?”
“Adri, when Peter woke up, I told him all about your old days and he wanted to come over and see you.”
Theresa said with a smile, raising her hand to take his arm, as if to invariably flaunt the intimacy between her and Peter.
“Say it.”
Adriana stood in the doorway with no intention of letting the two men in.
“You took a billion from The Alston family?”
Peter spoke in a deep voice, a pair of black as ink pupils can not see any emotions, just eyes a little cold.
Adriana laughed, “Isn’t it superfluous for Mr. Alston to come all the way out here to ask about something that everyone knows?”
“Adri, don’t talk like that. peter he just lost his memory, but he still loved you before, you will make him sad if you talk like that.”
Theresa took Adriana’s hand and began to pretend to be a drama in front of Peter again.
That look, look Adriana wrinkled her brow, a face of disgust.
“So, I’m doing this for your own good. Wouldn’t it be adult for us to break clear and make you and Peter whole?”
Adriana didn’t want to talk to Theresa unnecessarily, and she didn’t want to see her and Peter deliberately showing affection here.
She has a small heart, the size of the eye of a needle, so she can’t accept it.
“This …”
Theresa blushed slightly and subconsciously looked sideways at Peter, “Peter, I told you, Adri doesn’t love you.”
Taking Peter’s hand, she looked back at Adriana and shook her head helplessly, “Adri never loved you to the end, and you, because she was Helen and Luis’ mommy, pursued her.”
In front of Adriana’s face, Theresa’s serious nonsense, the voice and the emotion, look at Adriana’s heart a sickness.
I felt that I had misjudged how I could be friends with Theresa.
This kind of people … is not worth!
And Theresa is also expected to Adriana’s self-proclaimed noble, do not care to explain these, and only deliberately said out.
As her words fell, Peter’s face chilled for a few moments, “When you were just a surrogate, you were given your due payment, and now you’re threatening The Alston family with the baby and extorting a billion dollars. Who gave you the courage?”
