“What’s the point of so much nonsense? The money, I’ve already taken it. You turned into running over here to ask me for money?”
Peter’s words fell on Adriana’s ears, and every word was so hurtful.
“Adri, don’t you say that, Peter is not that bad. He …”
“I came over here to ask for money.”
Before Theresa could finish her words of explanation, she was cut off by Peter, “I hate women who don’t keep their word, don’t you challenge my bottom line.”
The bottom line?
Adriana’s hand on the door frame tightened, nails gouged hard at the door panel, slowly hanging her head and pursing her lips.
The white cheeks are unable to hide the painful look, take a deep breath, and then look up, the bottom of the eyes is again cold clear look, seemingly do not care about anything.
“Sorry, there’s no reason to take back what came into my hands.”
She refused outright and asked again, “Is there anything else, if not, take your time.”
After saying that, he closed the door directly.
But the door that was about to close was blocked by a foot.
Peter then vigorously pushed open the door, perhaps because of the force is too strong, Adriana body stumbled backwards a few steps to stand firmly.
But his back still hit hard against the corner of the table next to the wine cooler, and the pestle was raw and painful.
Adriana’s body hand covered her waist, and the pain nearly spilled tears.
“You’re provoking me?”
Peter walked in, his frosty face gazing at Adriana, his eyes slightly narrowed.
“Peter, don’t be like that. adri took the money because grandpa wanted her to, and grandpa said that after she took the money she would leave Waverly and not come back later. So, it’s better not to be counting.”
Although Peter had forgotten Adriana as he wished, she was still afraid that when Peter and Adriana crossed paths again, it would awaken his memory.
If this is the case, then all the work will be lost.
“You don’t have to say much.”
Peter said to Theresa with a cold sweep of his eyes.
Looking at the familiar man in the past, Adriana held too many fantasies, feeling him from a cold nature into a gentle man like water, only to let her moment of frozen heart slowly melted.
And now, it’s just an accident, he’s back to his cold as ice nature.
Giving a sense of being in a polar glacier like cold, a coldness running straight to the bottom of the heart, and then the heart full of heat to freeze.
It really hurts Adriana to think of all the warm words he used to say.
How much pampering Peter gave her in those days, how much pain she is in now.
Is God so unjust, so fond of playing tricks on her?
“You have three hours if you don’t transfer the money back, don’t blame me for being unkind to you.”
The man dropped the words, turned around and left.
“Big brother?”
At that very moment, Alvin came and coincidentally heard the words he just said, “You … Peter, you are … incorrigible.”
His stern gaze glanced at Theresa and questioned, “You’re behind this one again, aren’t you?”
Theresa innocently hid behind Peter, holding his hand tightly, shook her head, and said to Alvin, “No, it’s not, it has nothing to do with me.”
They were still talking, but Adriana smiled indifferently and said bluntly, “Money, I will not give you. If you want to kill or die, do as you wish.”
Adriana was curious to see what Peter would do to her.
At that, several eyes fell on Adriana’s body.
Without waiting for them to say anything, Adriana added: “What do you think I like about you? It’s just greed for your money. Besides, you ruined my company with your own hands, so you owe me a compensation for reason. One billion is nothing. If you don’t agree, I’ll take Helen away now.”
“Don’t you dare!”
The man’s voice was low, his dark pupils emitting a flame of anger, burning the figure of Adriana reflected in his pupils.
“Dare or not, try it and you will know.”
Adriana raised her eyebrows, “In prison, your good sister Sloane found someone to rape the girl. The Alston family is a big family, well known in the community, now it is rumored that the government and business collusion, guess, your family stock will not fall, Sloane will still have the courage to want, The Alston family and the company’s image in what situation? The Alston family and the company’s image should be in what situation?”
“You …!”
Peter’s long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Adriana, hating to devour her as if.
“So, for you and me, one billion is just to buy a peace, a fair deal. Mr. Alston is a businessman, you shouldn’t be unaware of this kind of reasoning.”
Her face is a little pale, but in no way affects the charming but not demonic face, the beauty of the outstanding natural, people can not take their eyes away.
Every word fell on Peter’s ears, and he suddenly felt a plunge in his heart, flooded with inexplicable pain, uncomfortable tight.
Is he, as Theresa says, really only pursuing Adriana because she is Luis and Helen’s mother?
“Yes Peter, what Adri said makes sense. Besides, for so many years, Adri has raised Helen, no credit but also hard work, one billion, all as a heavenly maid, nothing more.”
Her words seemed to soothe Peter’s emotions, but they were deliberately sarcastic to Adriana.
Alvin’s face sank, his thin lips opened slightly, before he could say something, he was pulled by Adriana’s hand, “Senior, come in and sit down.”
“Do you have anything else? Please leave if you’re okay.”
Adriana gave the eviction order.
Peter stared dead at Adriana without saying a word.
Theresa saw Peter looking straight at Adriana with that complicated look in his eyes, and a bad feeling grew up inside her, so she pulled him out directly, “Peter, let’s go, Helen and Luis are waiting for us to go home.”
They left.
Adriana closes the door.
At that moment, she leaned on the door panel, looking vacantly at the floor, as if she had lost her soul.
“Adri, are you okay?”
Alvin stood in front of Adriana and looked at her with heartache.
Wanted to go to appease, but did not know how to speak.
Adriana pursed her lips and took a deep breath, “Senior, I should go now.”
“Go, where to?”
“Waverly, the place where I was born and raised. I love it, I love it, but it’s a sad place with a lot of holes in it. It’s not for me. Besides, I’m a target now, so why stay here and die?”
The Alston family gave her a billion dollars and announced it to the public, but they wanted to direct the blame at her and use others to get rid of him.
This is a great move to play with a knife.
In the past, she had The Alston family as a strong child’s shield, no one dared to touch her, now she is all alone, a woman with a billion, how many people will miss her?
“I’m with you.”
Alvin was silent for a few seconds, gazing at her with deep affection, and said.
Together?
Adriana eyes raised slightly, looking at the clear-eyed, handsome man standing in front of her, the only ray of dawn that illuminates her life and feels a touch of warmth.
