Adriana was so guilty that she couldn’t look at Peter.
There was a long silence before I said, “I did not deliberately suppress the Lindsay Group, I just took the opportunity to try to save Anne. the rest was done by Mrs. Hall alone, outside of my expectations. As for Brenden … me …”
When it comes to Brenden, Adriana doesn’t know how to explain it.
Suddenly, it occurred to her that a few years ago, Brenden had kidnapped her with the intention of killing her and her two children, and at that time, Peter told her that he was in full pursuit of Brenden.
But in fact, Brenden is living it up in Los Angeles.
He, who had lied to her.
At this moment, what is the need for her to feel guilty?
When you think about it this way, your mind is much less stressed.
Brenden is also a member of The Alston family, and working with him is an opportunity that countless people want. By following him, I can also bring the Fryer Group to the next level. Why not?”
A word slowly spoken.
Peter’s face, which was covered in gloom and despondency, was instantly tinged with a little anger and a stern air.
The two men stared at each other from a distance of several meters, seemingly a silent contest, and no one conceded defeat.
After a while, Peter’s thin and thick lips emerged with a sneer, ” Good luck getting what you want.”
Gone.
Clang-
The sound of a door slamming was enough to indicate the man’s mood.
“Whew.”
Adriana let out a sigh, her bad mood getting worse.
At that moment, the phone on the desk rang again.
She got up with a huff, walked over, and answered the phone directly.
“Adriana, how shameless of you to collaborate with Brenden?”
On the other side of the phone, there was Theresa’s abusive voice.
Adriana, who had been holding her anger, finally couldn’t hold back now and mocked, “I want to be shameless, and you’re the one to judge? Are you taking yourself too seriously.”
“I just learned that Peter let the water out of the bidding meeting because of you, and you, now defecting to Brenden? Do you believe that I will tell Brenden your true identity? Let your plan all ruined.”
Theresa, angry at losing the Clear Bay Project and causing so much damage, seems determined to drag Adriana down with her.
She can’t get it, and she doesn’t want Adriana to get it.
“Sure, you go tell Brenden now. if you’re not afraid of Brenden’s current wife Hayley telling Peter who I am, go ahead, I promise I won’t stand in the way.”
She knew that Brenden’s wife was Hayley, and with The Alston family inviting everyone, there was no way Theresa didn’t know.
“Do you … you … really think I can’t do anything with you?”
“The truth is, you just can’t do anything with me. Isn’t that right?”
“You are so mean and lowly, how could Peter look at a woman like you? A scourge that will last a thousand years!”
“Heh, why does that sound more like you’re talking about yourself?”
Adriana laughed sarcastically and continued: “In my opinion, you have time to talk nonsense why not hurry to grasp the relationship between you and Peter. Don’t get dumped again, then don’t cry with me. Do the math, you’ve been around Peter for more than ten years. Youthful young girl to the old leftover girl, not afraid of being dumped will not be able to marry?”
“Adriana! Say it again? Do you believe I will tear your mouth apart?”
Theresa hates it when someone says these things in front of her, invariably tearing open her wounds and rubbing salt in them, which hurts so much that she suffocates.
“Yes, as long as you have that ability, I will accompany you to the end. ”
Adriana disdains the call, hangs up and tosses it aside.
Sitting in the executive chair, Adriana played with her phone in boredom, thought about it and called Harlee.
Beep beep beep, the phone rang several times, no one answered.
She hung up, put the phone down, and closed her eyes.
At that moment, the phone rang again.
She looked at the phone number on it, which was Harlee’s, and answered it immediately.
“Congratulations, good ability, beyond my expectation. There is progress.”
Harlee’s congratulatory message from a thousand miles away.
But Adriana listened, how ironic.
“I’ve accomplished your mission, now isn’t it time to let go and set me free?” When Harlee’s request was for her to return to Waverly and go to the Fryer Group to take down the Clear Bay Project.
Now the project is not taken 100 percent, but still half of the project ownership.
“Only half finished, and you’re qualified to make conditions with me?”
“Harlee, I’m telling you, don’t go too far!”
Adriana was upset and not in a good mood towards Harlee.
“What, are you upset because you offended Peter by working with Brenden?”
Harlee seems to be the interpreter in her mind, understanding what she is thinking in a single sentence.
It’s a terrible feeling to have your mind nakedly pierced.
“What are you talking about Harlee, do you really think you are omnipotent and can penetrate anyone’s mind? What arrogance!”
“Is that so? But your emotions already say it all. Four years of experience, you are still a waste in the end, rotten wood cannot be carved!”
Harlee leaves no stone unturned and blows her out of the water.
Adriana stormed, holding back her emotions, and asked, in as chipper a mood as possible, “So what else do you need me to do exactly?”
“I need you at …”
The other party paused for a moment, then said, “Work with Brenden to suppress Peter!”
Working with Brenden to suppress Peter?
Such an order shocked Adriana to no end!
“Why?”
“You don’t need to know why, you just need to carry out the order.”
“Harlee, shit!”
Adriana finally couldn’t hold back a yell.
“You have the right to remain angry, but remember to complete the task I gave you. The initial task is to pull Peter down as the president of Alston Group!”
“I refuse!”
Adriana made it clear directly what she had in mind.
If Peter is pulled from his position as president of the Alston Group, Brenden will be the one to succeed him.
If Brenden stood at the top of The Alston family, it would be Peter who would be miserable, along with Luis and Helen.
She said angrily, “There is no way I would ever put Luis and Helen in any kind of danger!”
“You have to remember that even if you are not the one carrying out the mission today, there will be someone else.”
Harlee finished and added, “Don’t forget, the people who drove you to your death in the first place were The Alston family, so what reason do you have to refuse? As for Luis and Helen, I will naturally protect their well-being. The only thing I can guarantee is that Peter won’t die, but I need to get him out of The Alston family!”
“I need reasons!”
“Adriana, all you need is to be clear about who you are and who you work for! The rest, you don’t need to know!”
“Harlee, I … beep beep beep … hello, Harlee? Harlee?!”
Looking at the cell phone screen has been hung up, Adriana anger straight to the brain, a rage directly to the phone on the ground.
Bang Bang Bang –
The phone rolled around on the ground a few times, falling to pieces and scattering parts.
She let out a feeble sigh, always feeling like a puppet tied up, never having the freedom of opportunity or choice.
