In one night, Flora was in a mess, very different from Peter, who was also in the detention room.
Her eyes were red with aggression, but her eyes were glaring at Adriana with venom.
If eyes can kill, Adriana must have died a thousand times.
“What are you doing frozen, come here and apologize to me.”
Adriana did not look good at all, but it was not directed at Flora, but deliberately done to Edward.
“On what grounds? I just don’t!”
Flora’s fists clenched in anger, aggrieved eyes heavy with tears.
“By my word, you will have to spend this year here.”
Adriana was condescending and deliberately took on a ‘get-it-done’ attitude.
“Lawson, don’t go too far. The contract was signed, the money was transferred to you, so shouldn’t you be a bit more measured in what you do.”
Edward was very protective of Flora, pulling her behind him.
“Portion? Okay, you’re telling me about proportion. Then I’ll tell you. ”
She pointed to the contract on the table, “This contract was signed by you and Vivian. During this period, you kidnapped Vivian, placed her under house arrest, and repeatedly assaulted her. Vivian was imprisoned, repeatedly violated. You have killed her mother. Do you think 300 million can heal the pain in her heart? If I could, I would give you double the money and pay you back in the same way, would you!”
Adriana became more and more excited, her voice was loud and her eyes were red with anger.
“I consider her as my own sister, do you think this matter will be settled, Edward, you dream!”
Adriana’s chest rose and fell in anger, and her dark, knife-edge eyes stared straight at him.
Old Mr. Henderson listened to ‘Lawson’s’ words and saw no rebuttal from Edward, so he knew it was true.
“Edward, how many ridiculous things have you done?”
Old Mr. Henderson followed suit and got angry.
“I’m ridiculous?”
Edward looked over at Old Mr. Henderson with an angry look on his face, more than a feral frown between his eyebrows, and his voice suddenly rose, “And do you know who her mother is? It’s Kenya, Kenya!”
After saying that, he pushed Adriana away and ran out in a huff.
“Kenya? Surprisingly, it’s Kenya?”
The anger on Old Mr. Henderson’s face faded instantly and was replaced by disbelief and shock.
Adriana only realized that this matter is not as simple as she thought.
No wonder Vivian repeatedly stressed that she had nothing to do with it that day.
“Grandpa, who is Kenya? Is there any relation to my brother?”
Flora knew nothing about it and was equally confused.
“Didn’t you hear Mr. Boone ask you to apologize? You should apologize to Mr. Boone for doing such a ridiculous thing. ”
Old Mr. Henderson ignored Flora’s questions.
“Why should I apologize to him when he hacked my website, I don’t want to.” She played up her lady temper and wouldn’t apologize to Lawson.
“The company is the company’s business, now it’s the matter of your beating, it can’t be mixed up. Besides, you are just guessing, there is no real evidence, that is all empty talk. Hurry up and apologize, do you want to spend New Year’s Eve here this year?”
The old man hit the nail on the head.
Although Flora claims that ‘Lawson’ hacked her website, but there is no evidence, otherwise she will definitely call the police.
Flora beamed in exasperation and glared at ‘Lawson’, “I’m sorry, I was wrong, all right! Hmph!”
A cold grunt, aggrieved baba turned and ran away.
Adriana didn’t say anything, turned around and signed the mediation form, took care of everything and then followed Old Mr. Henderson out of the police station.
Walking in the police compound, the blazing cold wind whistling past, the icy wind scraping in the face stinging pain.
Adriana sped up to leave, but Old Mr. Henderson called out to her.
“Mr. Boone?”
“Well, is there anything else for Old Mr. Henderson?”
Adriana stopped and looked back at him.
Although he disliked Flora and Edward, he still had little resistance to Old Mr. Henderson.
Dressed in a Tang suit, the old man hands behind his back, the neck tied with a red scarf, wearing presbyopic glasses, white spots at the temples, even the beard is white, people must show the vicissitudes of old age.
“I hope you won’t interfere in Vivian’s mother’s affairs, I will personally handle this matter. This matter, which is internal to our family, can be said to be a family matter. I know that you and Vivian have a good relationship, Edward that boy is a bastard, but young people are not immune to impulsiveness and frivolity. I hope you can forgive him.”
He stopped and stood in front of Adriana, “It is better for the wronged to be united than to be united. In Waverly, The Alston family, the Soto family, the Henderson family, The Grant family, the four families, only by embracing the group can we mutually benefit and win. Now is the time for you young people, look at the long term, do not count on the immediate gains and losses, when the loss is greater.”
Old Mr. Henderson’s bitter words seem to be for Adriana’s benefit, but in reality they are just an excuse for Edward to mediate the conflict between the two families and maximize the interests of both.
It must be that Old Mr. Soto has told Old Mr. Henderson about her background, but it looks like she is a male or female should be kept secret.
“Old Mr. Henderson is worrying too much, the Soto family has nothing to do with me. I only do what I want to do and what I should do. Unless, you can give Vivian a reasonable account on this matter of Vivian’s mother, all is forgiven.”
Adriana finished and left.
Old Mr. Henderson looked at her back and added, “Leave the Soto family, you can’t make waves on your own.”
A very real statement that slams Adriana’s heart heavily.
But she didn’t care.
Leaving without looking back.
Because her car was at Vivian’s old house, she had to go to the office and take the company car.
After lunch, she went to Orchard House.
“Mr. Boone, you’re here?”
When Lawson arrived at the manor, the maid opened the door, “Little Master and Little Miss are waiting for you.” Saying that, the servant called out to the hall, “Little Master, Little Miss, Mr. Boone is here.”
Hearing the maid’s shout, the sound of two children cheering erupted inside.
“Lawson?”
“Hahahaha, Lawson, I thought you weren’t coming.”
The two children ran wildly all the way to her and hugged him, overjoyed.
“Happy New Year Lawson, I loved the gift you gave me last time. But you weren’t there on holiday night.”
“Yeah, yeah, it’s a shame.”
The two children talk about you and me.
Adriana looked at them both in a good mood, and all the gloom was swept away.
Raising his hand and brushing the two children’s heads, “Your daddy said he might not be able to come back this year, so he asked me to accompany you for the New Year.”
“Is Daddy going to be okay?” Luis asked, looking up at her, worried.
Helen worried, “I’ve read all the reports on the news, daddy in detention for a few days, grandpa gave the company’s internal affairs to seven uncles to handle, daddy came back later I’m afraid there is no real power in his hands.”
Luis and Helen compared to the two, although Luis was born more than half an hour earlier, but Helen and Adriana together through a lot of hard times, understand earlier.
But Adriana didn’t expect her little holiday discipline to understand so much.
Relieved but also heartbroken little girl.
“Helen, you’re still a child, what you need to do now is to study hard. You don’t need to get involved in adult matters, understand.”
