After saying that, he left.
When I got home, it was going to be dawn.
Raylan went to the third floor, saw the original Adriana sleeping in the room still two lights, walked in, saw Peter standing by the window, holding a cigarette in his hand, do not know what to think about.
“I am responsible for what happened just now, Mr. Alston, if you do not mention the conditions, I will certainly agree to it, as a compensation.”
He put down his stance and was too little humble in front of Peter.
The man at the window took a drag from his cigarette and said slowly, “Adriana has always considered you a friend, and this is how you take care of her?”
“So you knew yesterday that Lynn had found out who Adriana was and would go for it?”
I have to say that Peter is amazingly perceptive.
“Save for a rainy day.”
Peter turned and looked at him, “Domestically, I don’t want to see Lynn again.”
“Okay, I know what to do.”
Raylan breathed a long sigh of relief, it was good enough to save Lynn’s life.
“But …”
Peter thought for a moment and added, “I don’t want Adri to know about this.”
He is not good at showing it by nature and has done things he doesn’t want Adriana to know.
In the end, there are not many days left, and it is better to be unattached.
Thinking about it, Peter actually regretted asking Adriana to do so.
He should be more ruthless with Adriana, more ruthless, the only way to cut off all thoughts, even hatred, that Adriana has for him.
“You and Adriana are at an impasse, and wouldn’t it be better if she knew about it that she would inevitably ease your relationship.”
Raylan really doesn’t understand why Peter is doing this.
His questions went unanswered, and Peter didn’t seem to want to answer his questions.
After a long moment of silence, Fang said, “It’s late, it’s time to rest.”
“Okay, then you rest.”
Raylan went out.
…
Early morning.
Adriana washed up and came downstairs. In the living room, the maids were busy, and Peter and Raylan were both sitting on the sofa watching the morning news.
That scene made Adriana a little surprised, confused how Peter and Raylan two people can sit together so harmoniously … watch the news.
“Good morning.”
She was in a good mood and walked over to find someone missing and asked, “Where’s Lynn?”
The maids’ faces changed slightly at the mention of Lynn, but Adriana didn’t notice.
“The Kramer family had a temporary commitment and she went back early in the morning.”
Raylan immediately opened his mouth to explain, and then looked aside as the cook came over, and said, “Breakfast is ready, let’s eat.”
The three of them sat at the dinner table and once again the atmosphere made Adriana feel a little treacherous, somehow feeling that something seemed wrong, but could not say what was wrong.
“Now that Dr. Suarez has been saved, what’s next for Mr. Alston?”
During the meal, Raylan asked a question.
Peter quietly ate his breakfast, saw Adriana’s favorite soup dumplings and put two of them on the plate in front of her.
Rambling back, “Tomorrow is the press conference, and I’m taking them back to Waverly.”
Said Peter, his eyes fell on Adriana, “What about you, do you want to go back together? You came over for the Suarezs, they were saved, you should also be at peace.”
“No, don’t go back.”
Adriana shook her head and took a sip of her milk, “There’s still a bit of business to take care of.”
Having made an appointment with Raylan to fight for a spot at Motril’s FE, she certainly couldn’t pass it up.
“Good.”
The man responded and said nothing more.
After the meal, the three packed up and prepared to go into Preynia Mountain to meet the Suarezs when they suddenly had a visitor.
Just in time to bump into each other head-on in the courtyard.
“Raylan, Mr. Alston.”
Mr. Kramer came over and nodded his head, “Mr. Alston, I already know what happened last night, it’s Lynn’s fault. My wife and I have only one daughter, so she has been spoiled since she was a child, which is why she is spoiled with an arrogant nature. The son does not teach the father’s fault, I today …”
Peter listened to Mr. Kramer’s words and immediately looked sideways at Adriana, “Adriana, I left my wallet upstairs, please help me get it.”
The tone of voice, like a sudden realization.
Adriana’s brow furrowed slightly as her eyes glanced over several people, “Oh.”
Woodenly responding, he turned around and went upstairs.
After watching Adriana walk into the living room, Peter looked back at Mr. Kramer and said in a cold voice, “Lynn did this, and she’s going to pay for it.”
Mr. Kramer immediately nodded, “Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Alston is extremely right.”
Dressed in a suit and wearing a gray scarf, Mr. Kramer’s temples are graying, and despite his age, he still exudes the majesty of a business veteran.
But that aura in front of Peter but instantly disappeared into nothing, humble to the dust.
He turned around and took out something from a purple box held by Mrs. Kramer, opened it with shivering hands, presented the box to Peter and said, “This is a Warring States double dragon head-articulated jade vessel, extremely rare, one piece is collected in the National Museum, while this one is handed down from my ancestors, which can be considered a rare treasure worth a lot of money. I love antiques all my life, and this is one of my favorite antiques. As an apology, I now give it to you in the hope that Mr. Alston can turn a dry spell into a good one.”
Although a small piece of jade, but the value is inestimable.
Mr. Kramer has a certain reputation in the business world, so naturally the things he takes out will not be cheap.
Naive …
“It’s not a gentleman to take away from others, and besides, I don’t really like antiques.”
Peter declined.
His gaze is cold, his hands are placed in the pockets of his pants, the natural stern and majestic linger around, inexplicably give a sense of oppression.
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the side, not wanting to pay him any attention.
Mr. Alston has sent word that he doesn’t want to see her in the country.”
“Huh? Yes, yes, yes, yes, I will keep it in mind and send Lynn abroad as soon as possible and promise not to let Mr. Alston see Lynn again.”
Mr. Kramer sighed and looked up and brushed the sweat stains off his forehead.
It is clearly the ninth cold day, cold to the bone, his forehead actually seeped with fine beads of sweat.
Mrs. Kramer nodded in response, “Yes, yes, yes, as long as we can release Lynn, whatever we say.”
She elbowed Mr. Kramer and scolded him, “What are you doing?”
Mr. Kramer received the reminder and immediately handed the rare antique in his hand to Raylan, “Raylan, please give this to Mr. Alston, but make sure he accepts it.”
Only when he receives it, he will be relieved.
It’s just a pity that …
That is his ancestral antique, just give it away, the heart is dripping blood.
Raylan frowned, and seeing Mr. Kramer’s look of pain, he said, “Nothing is as important as Lynn, don’t worry, I will take care of it. You guys go back first.”
Mr. Kramer and Mrs. Kramer were a little disturbed, looking at the man standing to the side, not knowing what he meant, but not daring to harass him too much.
Turn around and leave.
