Three years ago, she was at the end of her rope and had no choice but to call Harlee and ask for her help.
But who knew that the chase would come before the meeting with Harlee.
She fell into the sea and thought she had reached the end of her life, but when she was struggling to die in the sea, Harlee appeared and saved her.
After leaving, she was taken out of Waverly by helicopter.
Waiting for her to wake up from a nap, people have been left on a deserted island by Harlee, every day to endure the torture of life and death.
But Adriana loves the life that allows her to exercise and increase her ability to protect herself.
So, I am always grateful to Harlee.
Who knew that this bastard left for three and a half years, and thought that from then on there would be no further contact.
“Tsk … how does this sound, and some resentment towards me?”
Harlee raised her eyebrows.
Adriana glanced at him indifferently, “Do I have to thank you by hugging your thighs?”
She got up, walked over to the window, put her hands in the pockets of her camouflage pants, just like a valiant look, and asked in a cold voice: “Say, what was the purpose of leaving me here in the first place?”
Several years without seeing, Harlee clearly feel the little woman’s nature change, compared to the previous, cold too much.
It was almost unrecognizable to him.
“You donated a billion to my Angel Foundation, and this is a reward for you. Didn’t you always say you wanted to work on yourself, and this is an opportunity to do so.”
Harlee grinned thievishly.
Adriana’s eyes flashed, knowing that Harlee did not want to tell the truth.
For three and a half years she was able to hold back from asking about it, and now, she’s in no hurry to find out.
“Three years ago, on Orco Mount, Sloane’s shot … was done by you, right?”
That one incident was the pain of her life.
On the island, countless times I would recall what happened on Orco Mount that day, thinking about it and not understanding who was behind it.
Finally, it was locked on Harlee’s body.
Harlee’s facial muscles stiffened slightly and her smile stopped abruptly.
There was speculation about Adriana’s change, but I didn’t think she would suddenly become so smart.
To his surprise and a little shock.
“You saved my life, and I’ll forgive that incident. But, I just want to know the reason.”
Once the two met, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Harlee leaned back in her chair, hesitated for a moment, and sighed, “Well, it looks like I’m not going to be able to say anything. You guessed it, I did that shot on Orco Mount. However, I didn’t think about harming you at the time, it was just the opportunity that came up. When you went to jail, I would have gotten you out even without Alvin’s hand. It’s just that he was one step ahead of me.”
“Answer positively.”
Adriana’s face is cold and her eyes do not contain any tenderness.
“I hate Sloane, I hate The Alston family, I hate their family.”
Harlee saw that things were not going to pass, so she said directly: “Do you know why I was in a common school as a child? I was born into the nobility, but Peter’s father killed my parents and ruined the Soto family’s business, leaving me with nothing. At school, I didn’t care about my studies, I was dissipated and bullied all day long, and then I met you. As I grew up, I got to know my way around, and with the help of distant cousins, I went abroad to further my education and spend money to start my own business. During those years, I took three hours off every day and struggled for several years before I was able to get what I have today. What do you think, what I had to do at that time?”
He told Adriana the truth about what happened back then.
Adriana listened to his story without much ups and downs under her eyes, as bland as water.
“So you used me to provoke my relationship with The Alston family and make The Alston family miserable. Only you didn’t expect that Peter would lose his memory, and once Peter didn’t love me, I lost my rightful value. Is that why you went out of your way to get close to me back then?”
She touched her nose and wrinkled her brow again, “After that, you left me here again, trained to be who you wanted. harlee, you think, I will serve you? Not afraid that one day I’ll bite back?”
“You’re right about everything. But I only sent you here to fulfill your dream. You fell into the sea, and when you were unconscious, you said you wanted to become stronger, so that you could protect the people you wanted to protect. At that moment, I felt that you and I are very similar, so I sent you here. It’s a way to make up for the harm I once did to you.”
He explained.
Adriana looked at him, “You think I’d believe that?”
“Believe it or not, that’s all up to you.” Harlee disdained with the explanation, “today came over just to see you, by the way to give you a task. Of course, this task was entrusted to me, and I think the pay is good, so I came to see you on purpose. Three and a half years, now is the time to accept the results, if you task is completed, you can successfully graduate.”
Successfully graduated?
Adriana didn’t think it would be that simple.
The obscure eyes stared at Harlee for a moment without giving an answer.
Turn around, stare out the window and fall into deep thought.
Appearing on the island, she knew that one day she would definitely leave, only this day came suddenly and actually felt as if she wasn’t ready for it.
Harlee, who was sitting in the chair, saw her silence and suddenly asked, “I’m curious, you’re not interested in Peter and Helen, Luis, Alvin and the others, at all?”
One was the man she loved so much, two were her children, and one helped her so much.
For more than three years, he had been silently watching Adriana, and he was really surprised by the results.
Once a woman is ruthless, compared with men, really no less.
“When is the mission?”
Adriana blinked her eyelashes, her eyelids drooping slightly, and the sunlight pouring in from the window fell on her face, leaving a row of butterfly-winged ciliary silhouettes on her cheeks, but it couldn’t hide the sadness on her cheeks.
Those people are things she wants to know, even very much.
Adriana knew in her heart that if she restrained herself from asking, she would be able to persevere to the end.
But once the mouth is open, she is afraid that her mind is all those people, can not not go to face, memories …
Harlee was surprised for a moment, originally thought Adriana did not ask these because she was too embarrassed to initiate the question, but did not expect that she had raised it, she actually digressed.
“A few days later.”
“Destination?”
“Los Angeles.”
Los Angeles?
The name of the place, Adriana can not stop a shiver, placed in the pocket of the hands slightly clenched, it is difficult to hold down the tension.
“Got it.”
She nodded, “Is there anything else?”
Harlee: “…”
This woman, became too … cold.
“After so many years without any contact with the outside world, don’t you want to ask about those people? And, of course, about me.”
Adriana stared back, her indifferent eyes sweeping over him, and left straight away.
Walked so spontaneously, did not look back.
Sitting in the room, Harlee watched her back as she left, suddenly feeling that Adriana had changed too much, and her icy appearance was a little too much for him to take.
