Chapter 425 Deep in the Tiger’s Mouth

Book:My Sweet Lawyer Wife Published:2024-5-1

Before, hamstrung by Brenden, then on the island, and now swayed by Harlee!
She was covered under a wide net, and could not break free no matter what.
Adriana didn’t see Raylan for some time after this incident, and he didn’t answer her calls to him.
The man, it seems, disappeared out of thin air.
But saw Raylan on a news report.
The Raylan Hotel matter was successfully resolved, those who were poisoned customers received reasonable compensation, but also an employee of the Powells’ hotel came forward, saying that he had been fired from the company because of a big fight with customers, discontent, so revenge to vent their anger.
Then he poisoned the ingredients while he was still able to go in and out of the hotel, causing poisoning to the customers and causing big trouble to the company.
Adriana, the Powells Group, has filed a lawsuit against that one employee and will face legal liability.
Although Adriana knows that is the staff to stand up and take the blame, but I think it must also be paid handsomely to be willing to carry the responsibility and be the gun.
Peter has been in contact with her too little since that time.
Even on weekends when she went to Orchard House to teach Sloane taekwondo and spend time with her two children, Peter avoided seeing her.
It seems to be deliberately staggered with her time.
Mrs. Alston is discharged from the hospital and is very unhappy to see her, but after some persuasion by Sloane, she is able to resolve her differences.
A month or so later.
The Alston family’s UncleBrenden grand wedding.
Asnana Hotel.
Early in the morning, before people got up, I received a call from Alvin.
“Hokage?”
Her habitual address.
“Still not up?”
Listening to Adriana’s lazy voice, Alvin could be sure that Adriana was not up yet.
“Well, the company was fine and I gave myself a break.”
Adriana rubbed her sleepy eyes.
“Brenden’s wedding today, aren’t you going?”
“Go, of course go, how can you not go?”
“Okay, you pack up, I’ll come over and pick you up.”
“Oh.”
Adriana answered, hung up the phone and got up to wash up.
In the large home, Anne and Vivian had gone to work, leaving her alone in the house.
Stealing a half day of leisure, she had a rare lazy sleep.
While brushing my teeth, I received a call from Colin, “Adriana, half of the tasks you explained have been completed. The company has successfully hit the market and has managed to penetrate the Southwest development. Although the company has benefited meagerly, but also severely suppressed the Henderson Family, Edward’s sister Flora’s LOC game company.”
“Ooooooooooooooo …”
Adriana was brushing her teeth and couldn’t speak very clearly.
“What? What did you say?”
Adriana rinsed her mouth and said, “I say very good, keep doing it. Even if it doesn’t make money, we have to kill LOC and build it as hard as we can. It doesn’t matter how you spend the money.”
“Ohhhh, big sister, your money fell from the sky?”
“It’s not like it’s costing me money anyway, just get there.”
This crackdown on LOC was at the request of Old Mr. Soto, who was Harlee’s grandfather. His meaning is naturally Harlee’s meaning.
Harlee bullied her like that, and she had no place to vent her anger, so she had to let Harlee’s money suffer.
She must spend as much money as she can to calm her grievances.
The other party smiled and hung up the phone.
Adriana packed up and went downstairs.
When he stepped out of the neighborhood, he saw Alvin standing at the entrance of the neighborhood. The well-mannered man was wearing a white suit and a khaki brand trench coat, which made his whole personality outstanding and more energetic.
“Good morning, senpai.”
Adriana smiled and said hello to him.
Alvin leaned against the car door, looked Adriana up and down, shook his head helplessly, “Look at you, the more you dress up, the more masculine you are now. I don’t even recognize you anymore.”
“Is that so?”
Adriana looked down at herself in a suit, with a black tweed coat and black boots, the whole person in black attire, handsome.
“This is good, look at you will feel solid, and then do not want to look at me, then how good.”
She flirted and laughed.
“You’re overthinking it, it’s unlikely.”
“That’s not for you to say.”
The two got into the car and went to a breakfast place for dinner.
Alvin handed her a bank card, “Here, more than four years, YY live streaming company income. You are the major shareholder, this money should have been given to you long ago.”
“No need. It’s not like I’ve been helping out at the company all these years, you …”
“The start-up capital you took, the company plan you participated in, the personnel you recommended and screened. This money, you must take it. The password is your birthday.”
“Okay, thanks.”
Adriana could not pretend to be generous and still accepted the money, after all, there are many places that need money in the future.
“This time, you have to be careful Brenden. i know you are deliberately cooperating just to …” he swallowed back the words and then said, “So, one must take care of one’s own safety, or I don’t mind stopping you from going deeper into the tiger’s mouth like this.”
Alvin’s meaning is clear enough, that is, he knows very well that Adriana is working with Brenden in order to get close to Brenden and start revenge.
Alvin knew what happened a few years ago, and based on his knowledge of Adriana, how could he not know what Adriana was planning?
Adriana spooned up one of the chaos and blew on it, but at Alvin’s words she stalled and forgot to even blow on it.
The eyes are sore, a sourness rushes to the heart, the emotions come inexplicably.
When you think about it, all the people don’t understand her behavior, only Alvin understands her and understands her.
Even Vivian and Anne didn’t understand her behavior and only superficially thought that working with Brenden was just for the Clear Bay project.
It is best to have someone who understands her and cares for her silently, giving her support and care.
She, a strong nature, but this is a weak woman, tough nature will also have the moment of restraint.
“Yes, I will.”
Adriana did not dare to raise her eyes, afraid that her emotional outbursts were discovered by Alvin.
The two had breakfast and it was already 10:00 am.
Got in the car and drove to Asnana Hotel.
The opulent luxury five-star hotel gathers luxury cars in front of the door, a red carpet to the curb paved to the hotel lobby entrance, the entrance gathered various entertainment reporters, gathered to photograph the social celebrities in full costume.
That scene, comparable to the grand award ceremony site, the atmosphere is completely different from the minute.
Alvin, however, drove slowly and pulled over to the side of the road, sitting leisurely with Adriana in the sedan, watching the people making their entrance over there.
“What do you think Brenden’s purpose is in coming back this time?”
Alvin asked.
Adriana laughed, “What else but to covet the headship of The Alston family.”
“So you worked with Brenden and Big Brother didn’t say anything? He didn’t suspect a thing about your identity?”
Adriana shook her head and inclined her head to look out the window, “No.”
Not one iota.
The mood that was not so bad was actually a little sad after Alvin asked this question.
Maybe it’s been too much to think about, just because I don’t want to be sad.
