Adriana gave Edward her bank account number so that he wouldn’t contact Vivian alone and have any foul play.
And then, went to the police, and after some begging Adriana met Peter in the detention room.
In the past, the scenery is unlimited, cold and arrogant man walking everywhere seems to bring a halo, attracting attention.
And now that he is in jail, his style is not diminished, still shiny and handsome.
Knock Knock-
She raised her hand and knocked on the bars, leaning against them with her arms around her chest, looking at the people inside, “How does it feel to spend New Year’s Eve in a detention cell for the first time?”
The man’s legs are folded, leaning on the arm of the single sofa, flipping through the book in his hand, his posture is leisurely and relaxed.
Not at all the wretchedness of a prisoner.
Only someone in his position could still have a single room in prison, with a single couch and books for him to read.
“You’re here?”
Seeing Lawson, Peter closed the book and walked up to her, his good-looking thick eyebrows wrinkled slightly, with an imperceptible sadness flowing between his brows.
“Can I ask you one thing?”
His tone was calm, and his narrow, phoenix eyes swirled with guilt.
The sudden seriousness made Adriana a little uncomfortable, “Say.”
“After all these years Luis and Helen have been spending New Year’s with me, I really can’t be with the kids today, and Anne has a good relationship with you and the kids, I hope …”
He wanted to say something, something difficult to say.
As a father, he has self-recrimination for not being able to spend the New Year with his children.
“You want me to spend New Year’s with the kids?”
Adriana’s calm, unruffled eyes suddenly blossomed with starbursts, even with a touch of longing and excitement.
Spending New Year’s Eve with baby and Helen?
It was something she had only dreamed of, but because of her status, Adriana didn’t even dare to imagine it.
Now that Peter has taken the initiative, she is naturally happy.
“But can you …”
The man lifted a hand to ruffle his short hair, his complex eyes glancing over Adriana, “Can you shower and dress before you pick them up.”
The corners of Adriana’s mouth twitched wildly.
Come on, this hurdle can not be passed.
“So clean how do you stay here? You probably don’t understand the situation in the detention room. Don’t look at you here quite clean, when you’re not here, you sleep on that bed may not have taken a shower for hundreds of days, and the place where you’re standing may be the place where others pee. And …”
“I’ve changed them all!”
Not waiting for Adriana to finish her sentence, Peter immediately interrupted her, “The floor … has been mopped ten times.”
Adriana was speechless and gave him a thumbs up, “You can, just you can!”
“And!”
“What?”
“Help me … send a bouquet to Adriana at The Alston family cemetery for me, will you?”
The man hesitated for a long time, and finally also said it.
“Adriana?”
The mention of those two words, Adriana heart thumped, heart followed a few tight, eyes panic to look elsewhere, afraid that Peter found the end.
“That kind of thing … is still your own to do, how can I do it for you. Besides, you The Alston family so many people, looking for who can not, but looking for me.”
It turns out that after all these years in Peter’s heart, she has always been the one who has not been put down.
“Every New Year, I take my children to see her, and the two children spend New Year’s with you, so you happen to go together.”
This is an ungrateful request.
Peter also knew something was wrong, “Count me as owing you a favor.”
Instead of saying anything, Adriana asked, “Why don’t you ask how I didn’t testify for you? To prove that you didn’t rob the formula by force?”
Peter had known for a long time that she would not help testify, but kept it to himself.
The man looked at him, those obsidian eyes were extremely penetrating, as if they could penetrate Adriana’s mind.
After a moment, he asked, “Is there a cigarette?”
Adriana took a cigarette out of her pocket and handed it to him, then thought better of it and handed Peter a whole carton of cigarettes.
She doesn’t like to smoke and packs a pack of cigarettes every day because women disguised as men need a suit in place to avoid being noticed.
The man took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep puff, and the thin, thick, sexy lips exhaled a faint smoke that draped his face, hazing it for a few minutes.
Set off the whole person gloomy, sad.
In all the time she had known Peter, she had never seen him like this.
“You haven’t answered my question.”
Adriana, somewhat reluctantly, pursued the question again.
The man’s long, slender fingers held a cigarette, then held it to his lips, “Asking or not asking doesn’t change anything.”
As he spoke, his evil Danfeng eyes kept staring at Adriana before adding, “You have your reasons for not helping, naturally.”
Adriana: “…”
The words were too much for her to take.
“Pe…”
“Why are you here?”
Adriana was about to say something when Edward came over, with a police officer beside him, holding the keys.
Walking up to her and opening the bars, Edward stepped inside, and Adriana hesitated for a moment to go in as well.
“Eh, who are you, you can’t go in!”
The officer stopped her.
Adriana stood there, her indifferent eyes looking at Edward with meaning.
Edward had a request for her and did not refuse, just waved towards the officer, who then left.
Adriana went to the single couch and sat down at length, holding the book “Psychology” that Peter was holding earlier.
He actually reads such books?
“You all came over today to mediate about Flora?”
Peter was smart enough to make a good guess.
Adriana crossed her legs, dangling, book in her lap, flipping the pages leisurely, and didn’t answer Peter’s question …
“Hmm.”
When it comes to Flora’s problem, Edward’s face is as dark as the bottom of a pot, as if he has suffered a great deal of aggression, but can only endure it and cannot vent it.
Adriana’s eyelids lifted slightly to catch a glimpse of his expression.
“Three hundred million dollars for a human life, Mr. Henderson, you’ve earned it.”
Adriana took it in stride, “But don’t worry, this is not going to go away.”
Although she promised Edward, three hundred million compensation, but later she will do everything she can to make Edward pay the price.
This time the injured person is Harlee, yesterday afternoon Old Mr. Soto words although not finished, but between the lines is to let her give up to hold Flora responsible.
She was too weak to fight against the Henderson Familythe Soto family and had to submit.
But that doesn’t mean she gives in.
“Lawson?”
Edward called Adriana’s name, suddenly hooked his lips a smile, that smile bitter cold deep meaning, smile hidden knife.
“Don’t think that with the Soto family covering you, you can do whatever you want. In case you fall into my hands one day, you will die a horrible death.”
Edward many years of smooth sailing, has never been calculated by anyone, who knows planted in the hands of a sissy, really let him annoyed.
“Don’t worry, there won’t be that day.”
Adriana lightly returned a sentence, without any tone, but gives a kind of contemptuous and despicable meaning child.
She flicked through the pages, the whirring sound extraordinarily clear in the cramped detention room.
“A life, what happened?”
