Anne knows Adriana well enough to know that she is the one who is cold on the outside, but has a good heart.
“What did Peter say about knowing who you really are?”
Gossiping, Anne sat on the edge of the bed with a curious look on her face and took Adriana’s hand, begging, “Tell me about it.”
“Say what?”
Adriana gave her a blank look, “I haven’t asked you yet, did you already know about my relationship with Harlee? Otherwise, why would you be willing to promise Harlee to help me? You are at least the big boss of Hale Cobb Law FirFuck, why do you have to come work for me.”
Never understood why, but Adriana couldn’t bear to blame Anne.
You know, you are not even a match for Harlee, let alone Anne.
“No, no, no, really, I don’t know.”
Anne raised her right hand, “Heaven and earth, I really don’t know. But Harlee asked me to come over and help you, and gave me a lot of money. Besides, I’m tired of taking care of the company for so many years, so I want to give myself a break.”
Speaking of this, she looked abruptly serious, “I just want to tell you that now that it is known that you are from the Soto family, there may be others from the Soto family to help you in the future. I may have to go back to Los Angeles before long, and the company there is also short of people to manage.”
“Anne, thank you.”
Adriana held Anne’s hand with a touched face, “It’s been really hard for you alone since the company was founded until now. But I would prefer you to take Vivian abroad now, you know how she is, you really can’t let her stay at home.”
Edward’s affairs always made Adriana uneasy and felt that if Vivian continued to stay, she would definitely still be entangled with Edward.
Because of Edward, Vivian lost an unborn child, and her mother died as a result.
Adriana had to keep Vivian away from whatever entanglements they had in the past.
“Adri, I’ve always looked up to Vivian as my best friend. But there’s something I have to say.”
Anne wanted to say something but couldn’t.
“What? You said.”
“Actually, everyone has a life, as in the last time we took her to have an abortion, Vivian had some regrets afterwards . Even though we started from a good place for her, it’s not all understandable and I’m worried that too much interference from you will backfire.”
Anne is also straightforward in nature and understands Adriana’s feelings, but feels that what Adriana is doing is not very good.
If Vivian wants her to interfere, it is naturally good. If Vivian does not want Adriana to interfere in her private affairs, then everything Adriana does will feel like meddling.
Adriana did not retort, a frustrated sigh, “you said I know, I thought about standing by, but Vivian’s life is pitiful, how can I not be heartbroken. In the future … her things I will respect her ideas and choices.”
“That’s true, Vivian is indeed very poor now that she is alone. But if you ask her to follow me to Los Angeles now, it’s not sure she’ll agree.”
Anne was really worried that Vivian wouldn’t go to LA.
In Waverly if you continue to tangle with Edward, the person who will suffer is definitely her.
“Go back and ask her what she wants.”
…
The next day, Adriana woke up early in the morning, turned on her cell phone and opened the other number in her phone that had been off.
And then turn up Brenden’s cell phone number.
Holding the phone, hesitated for a long time, or dialed the other number.
When the call was answered, without waiting for Adriana to speak, a man’s voice came from the other end, “You finally got around to calling? Hmm?”
“Ho ho ho, Mr. Alston, what’s the good news about contacting me so urgently?”
When she first contacted Brenden as a mystery woman, she negotiated a partnership over the phone and provided the best bid for Clear Bay, helping him take the Clear Bay Project.
At that time, he was told to contact ‘Lawson’ and work together.
Now that ‘Lawson’s’ identity is about to be revealed, she still has an identity she can use.
“Naturally, I have a new project to work with you on.”
Brenden was very impressed with the ‘mystery woman’ and then added, “And to thank you for helping me with the Clear Bay Project.”
“By the way, you said Clear Bay Project … I’m calling you this time because I want to tell you that that ‘Lawson’, is not reliable.”
Adriana has studied voice acting before, so she can switch between various voices at will and with ease.
Naturally, there is no worry about mistakes.
“Unreliable? How so?”
Brenden was suspicious.
“According to reliable sources, some people say this Lawson is a woman disguised as a man, the real identity is mu what? Adriana. heard, before with you and Peter quite close. You don’t know that, do you?”
Adriana’s voice had a slightly questioning tone to it.
“What? Ad… Adriana?!”
Brenden’s eyebrows knitted, “I … tsk …” he sighed as if there was a sigh, “Really? I have been very suspicious of Lawson’s identity, always feel that this person déjà vu, is having people investigate, just found some clues, no real evidence yet.”
“Heh. You can’t even recognize your old acquaintances, Mr. Alston, I doubt your strength. If that’s the case, how do you expect me to continue trading with you?”
Adriana’s voice is very steady and deep, with a bit of ruthlessness in the workplace that is not easily perceived.
On the other end of the phone, Brenden had a moment of silence before saying, “I still don’t know what to call you, don’t you think it’s because you don’t trust me per se?”
“You can just call me ‘Amber’.”
“Amber? Very nice name, looking forward to meeting you.”
“I have no reasonable explanation for what happened to Adriana, and I doubt very much that she saved my life once, whether it was a deliberate arrangement or a conspiracy.”
Adriana bites back.
What we need to do now is naturally to gain Brenden’s trust, re-establish trust with another identity, and only later can we learn more information.
“Amber, the matter was an oversight on my part. I …”
“There is no need to explain so much to me. You should know that you were given a Clear Bay Project because of your ability. As for Adriana, although I hate people’s calculations, there are reliable rumors recently that Lawson is from the Soto family. If that’s true, she still has some use.”
The words of ‘Amber’ over here lurched, leaving Brenden more than a little puzzled.
“What do you want to do?”
“First determine this person’s position and value before saying anything else. Also, I warn you, if you unite with Adriana to count me alone, then … the consequences will be your own!”
“Amber, you … beep beep beep …”
Brenden was about to say something else when there was already a disconnect on the other side.
Holding the phone, Brenden’s eyes narrowed slightly and he fell into deep thought.
This woman named ‘Amber’, who is she?
