But Peter didn’t want to affect the image of the Soto family in Adriana’s mind.
After all, after more than 20 years of loneliness, he finally found his family.
And why cut off the little bit of beauty in her heart?
Just …
This time it was hard to convince the Suarezs to testify on his behalf so that the press conference could go smoothly tomorrow.
Now Harlee has hijacked the Suarezs, trying to break his back, trying to make him irrefutable in front of the public, and taking the blame to the end.
I’m afraid that the mastermind behind this will be Brenden in addition to Harlee!
After thinking for a while, Peter withdrew his thoughts and turned to open the refrigerator and took out the ingredients inside to prepare for cooking.
The living room.
Adriana glanced back at the kitchen, then glared back at Raylan, “What’s wrong with you? I asked you to cooperate with me, what are you doing?”
Raylan made tea while explaining, “You have two children with Peter, and sooner or later you need to face him head on. adri, running away won’t solve anything, you should face yourself.”
Raylan, though, likes Adriana and is willing to go along with Adriana.
But the authorities are the only ones who see things differently than Adriana.
“I …”
She swallowed her words and didn’t know how to answer his words.
Raylan has a point.
Some things should always face up to face, avoidance really can not solve any problems.
“I know everything you said.”
Her tone was weak as she took a sip of her tea, “I just haven’t figured out how to face it yet.”
Adriana’s thoughts were a bit confused and she waved her hand in annoyance, “Forget it, I didn’t come here today all because of the Evalyn thing. As you know, my identity is finally clear. the Soto family, Harlee is my brother. Keep asking me to go back, what do you think this thing should look like?”
“I’ve heard all about you. This the Soto family …”
Raylan was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang, “Hold on, I’ll take a call.”
“Well, did you find the person?”
Raylan spoke to the person on the other side of the phone and asked.
Adriana, sitting across from Raylan, couldn’t hear what the person on the other side of the phone was saying, only that he looked gloomy and hung up the phone.
“What’s wrong, what’s happening?”
Looking at Raylan’s face, Adriana vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Raylan put his phone down and gave her a look, “the Suarezs were rescued, the kidnappers had a nasty fight with their rescuers and got away.”
“Got away? Who did that?”
Adriana is a little curious.
“Hmm.”
Raylan’s chin lifted slightly and glanced at the man in the kitchen who was busy.
“Peter?”
Adriana was quite surprised, “The people he saved?”
If that’s true, she misunderstood Peter.
“Peter saved the Suarezs, that means he has no enmity with the Suarezs at all. Tomorrow The Alston family is going to hold a press conference and most likely bring the Suarez family to testify, if the Suarezs are taken away now is to break Peter’s back and put him in a desperate situation?”
Thinking about it, Adriana thinks this is extremely likely.
It seems that he misunderstood him.
“There are a million possibilities for everything, use your brain more.”
Raylan raised his hand and nudged his head with his long index finger, reminding Adriana.
Holding the alabaster pot, he poured her another cup of clear tea, “What were you going to say, the Soto family?”
He shook his head, picked up the alabaster cup, lightly sipped a mouthful of tea, “the Soto family water is deep. However, what should come eventually will come. You just need to remember, ‘water can carry the boat can also cover the boat’.”
“Isn’t that the same as not saying anything?”
Adriana was helpless.
Looking back at the kitchen, I heard the sound of da-da-da chopping vegetables from the kitchen, the knife work is skilled, quite a bit of home cooking.
Turning his head to look at Raylan, he came over and whispered, “I came over to discuss something with you.”
Raylan held his cup, propped one hand on the carefully carved out table of goldenrod, and raised an eyebrow, looking at her with interest, “Say.”
“I know you have an intelligence network under your hands, so … can I borrow it for personal use.”
She pursed her lips and smiled, “Don’t worry, you won’t be missing out on the honorarium.”
Adriana feels that she needs competent hands now.
Anne and Vivian can help, but they are limited and can’t help with many things.
For example, investigating private matters and helping out with tricky things is simply not something a girl can do.
Before that, I took Colin as a good friend, but I didn’t expect that Colin was actually Harlee’s person.
It really surprised her.
“Trust me that much?”
“The only person I can trust now is you. Among the few people who came out on the unnamed island, you are the only one who is trustworthy as my friend in life and death. Besides, even Colin is one of Harlee’s people, who do you think I can trust besides you?”
Adriana felt quite defeated.
In terms of networking, the available people are very limited.
“By the way. I’ve always heard that top talent in FE is very hard to come by. Can you get a few of them for me?”
Having said that, it occurred to me that Harlee said the Soto family was only four people.
She immediately shook her head and said instead, “One, just one will do.”
Stretching out his right hand, he put up a finger and spoke weakly.
“FE? You don’t have a big mouth.”
Raylan gave a sly laugh, “Every year in the first month is when FE members are chosen, maybe this year you can have a chance. But FE members are not something that anyone can take away if they want to.”
“Nonsense, otherwise I can find you? Anyway, I don’t care, you must get two people for me, and also, lend me one of your intelligence network people. Thanks haha.”
Whether Raylan agrees or not, whether he says yes or no, Adriana takes it as a yes.
As the two chatted, they did not notice Peter’s take a pair of gloves on the table.
At that moment, Peter, who was standing in the kitchen preparing the food, caught the two men’s conversation.
I can’t help but feel a little sad.
After more than half an hour, dinner was ready.
“Dinner is ready, where is it?”
Peter walked out and asked with a bemused look, not offended by the cheerful conversation between Adriana and Raylan both.
“That way.”
Raylan pointed over there and Peter shot a cold look over, “Serve the food and eat.”
Four words, not asking for his consent, but in a tone of command.
Raylan’s mouth twitched slightly as he put down his alabaster cup, stood up, moved his muscles, and walked to the kitchen.
Looking at the several dishes laid out on the counter, it was a surprise to see such a sumptuous dinner made in just one hour.
“Home cooked food? Six dishes and a soup? Mr. Alston, I can’t tell, good ability.”
These words are full of praise, every sentence is the heartfelt words.
“It’s all about what Adriana likes.”
He cautioned.
“All the ones she likes?”
Raylan was a little surprised, “It seems you know a lot about her, I thought you said you had amnesia, but you still have a good memory.”
Peter, who was untying his apron, gave a cold sweep, “You talk a little too much.”
“Gotta get off my chest.”
The two of them went to the dining room with their dishes and Adriana washed her hands and came over to serve the rice.
