“You’re not welcome? How’s that for nonchalant, huh?”
Adriana raised an eyebrow and exhaled gently toward his cheek with a teasing look.
“Lawson!”
The man shields his breath, only to feel that Adriana even breathes with a smell that makes him diarrhea.
“I’m on it.”
She got off the side of the bed and stood in front of him, padding her feet, “Something wrong?”
“Get out!”
He seemed unable to accept Adriana’s approach, raised his hand and pushed hard, Adriana was caught off guard and fell down, subconsciously reaching out and tugging, directly grabbing his clothes.
The two just fell straight down on the bed, him on top, her on the bottom.
“Well …”
The moment Adriana fell, the man was on top of her, and they were stacked on top of each other like that.
Peter’s forehead smashed against Adriana’s lips, knocking them raw.
It hurts …
Adriana jerked backwards in pain, “Peter?!”
She pushed the man away and raised her hand to feel her lips, which were actually bleeding.
Smashed down by his head, touching his teeth and breaking the skin of his lips hard.
“Who told you to sleep in my bed? Get down here!”
Peter stood up, a handful of Adriana’s collar, is so hard a tug, want to want to throw Adriana out.
Adriana held her breath and kicked him in the stomach, “Bastard, I came over to see you, what’s your attitude?”
“No need for you to see it!”
“Your ex-fiancée and Sandra begged me to come, do you think it’s appropriate for me not to come.”
Adriana sought a reason against her will.
“Get out, my business is none of your business!”
Since he knew that Adriana was not hygienic, Peter did not dare to get too close to the man in front of him, even though he was attracted to him.
Cleansing disorder is to a certain extent like the feeling of a dense phobic when he sees a dense object.
Touching unclean things will feel creepy, inexplicably give birth to a feeling of bad chills.
“You say more?!”
Adriana stood in front of him with a sullen face and a cold questioning voice.
Peter gaze on her crimson lips, which overflowed with beads of blood, some guilt, suddenly the momentum sharply reduced, “that … your lips bleeding, wipe.”
He pulls a tissue out of his pocket and hands it to Adriana.
“No need!”
Adriana glared at him, turned around and walked away.
After walking a few steps, she stopped and said, “Since you like the feeling of the detention room, then 2019 you will stay well in the detention room!”
Then, as if in anger, he kicked the iron fence several times.
The officer came over and opened the door. Adriana pulled out a pile of money and slipped it to the officer and left.
Walking out of the police station, Sloane, with Luis and Helen guarding the door, was the first to meet them and asked, “How is it, how is it, what did the police say?”
“Yeah, what does it say?”
“Can Daddy come out?”
…
The three men asked with anticipation.
Adriana was on fire and reached up to point to her lips, “Peter hit it!”
Throwing down the word, Adriana went straight to the car, closing the door with the words, “Don’t be talking to me about Peter.”
Bang–
The car door was slammed hard and the dust was gone.
Helen and Luis looked at me, I looked at you, shrugged their shoulders, a very helpless look.
Adriana had no intention of visiting Peter, and if it weren’t for the pleas of both Luis and Helen, she certainly wouldn’t have gone.
Who knew it would actually end up like this.
As the car was driving down the road, Adriana received a call from Colin, “Adri, what you asked us to investigate has been investigated. The information has been sent to your email, you can go check it out.”
“Good work, Colin. it’s New Year’s Eve, Happy New Year!”
“Same fun, same fun.”
Hanging up the phone, Adriana went back to the apartment.
I just walked to the entrance of the apartment and saw a familiar figure.
Brenden!
What a time to come.
“Mr. Alston, what a coincidence, how did I meet you here?” She asked knowingly.
“I came to see you exclusively.”
“Looking for me? What is the matter?”
She sized up Brenden, a black trench coat with a silver-gray suit inside, tied with a tie, dressed in a human-like manner, looking like a mature uncle and giving a yuppie vibe.
But everywhere there is a cold atmosphere.
“Won’t you invite me up for a cup of tea?”
Brenden pointed upstairs, and Adriana had no reason to refuse, leading him upstairs.
Upstairs, Brenden sat on the couch in the parlorable and Adriana poured him a cup of tea and placed it in front of him, “Is this about Peter?”
She was straightforward and didn’t want to beat around the bush with Brenden.
The man leaned on the sofa, legs folded, sitting in a lazy and arrogant posture.
“I want to hear your terms.”
Since Brenden asked, he was sincere in his desire to work with Adriana.
Adriana thought about it, turned around and poured herself a cup of tea, sniffed the curl of smoky Longjing tea, and took a light sip, “Mr. Alston’s target is Peter, and my … target is Edward.”
“Edward?”
Brenden holding the tea slightly stalled, thoughtful, “Edward background is strong, the family is rich, you are a little bit to hit the stone with eggs.”
“Heh heh heh.”
Adriana sat across from him, playing with the obsidian string on her wrist, and said arrogantly: “It is well known that Peter’s brothers are Edward and Alvin, and I am Alvin’s friend, so I can let Alvin do nothing about this, so if you want to deal with Peter, you must break his right arm, otherwise you think Edward will stand by when life and death are at stake. You think Edward will stand by and watch when life and death are at stake?”
Brenden thought ‘Lawson’s’ analysis made perfect sense, “I’ve thought about what you said. But Edward is really not a good master to deal with. Also, I’d like to know why you’re having trouble with Edward?”
“Vivian is Anne’s best friend, my secretary. The person I Lawson wants to protect, who dares to touch, I will definitely be its enemy.”
She said, with a deep sigh, “Vivian’s mother died, just a few days ago. The culprit was Edward, and you think I would stand by and do nothing?”
This reason is very reasonable.
As a friend, one’s friend is hurt, indeed will not ignore it.
“You are very righteous as a friend, I appreciate that.”
Originally Brenden still had a hint of defensiveness towards Adriana, but the last Clear Bay Project, and this time Peter’s affair, if Adriana could all be on his side, it would already indicate the attitude of the other side.
The business world is like a battlefield, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
Now they just need to join forces strongly, and will inevitably go their separate ways after the deed is done.
“What are you going to do about it?”
Brenden asked her.
Adriana looked down, blew on the scalding tea and took a sip to moisten her lips, “I should be asking you that.”
“Peter is a business genius and his strength should not be underestimated. He is developing the Alston Group in the open and manipulating many secret industries in the dark. If you want to get rid of him, you must first drive him out of The Alston Family, and then uproot his industries and the forces behind them one by one, in order to completely remove the tumor.”
