Adriana’s imposing, cold as frost goose egg face is shady to the extreme.
“Adriana, cursing me? You’re really despicable, if you hadn’t caused me to lose my womb in the first place, how could Peter have called off his engagement with me?”
Referring to the year, Theresa emotions inexplicably some agitation, “If it is not you third party intervene … ah!”
Just as her words fell, Adriana slapped her across the face without mercy.
The sound of a slap with sufficient force is extraordinarily loud.
Theresa screamed and fell straight to the ground, “Adriana, don’t you dare hit me? Peter, look at Adriana she’s gone too far.”
Peter, who was sitting on the sofa, slowly put away his phone, got up, glanced at her with a sly gaze, and the armrest helped her up, “Apologize.”
“Did you hear that, Peter told you to apologize to me!”
Theresa covered her red and swollen cheek, her eyes glazed over in anger.
“With you?”
Adriana’s tone sank slightly, “And you’re worthy?”
“Adriana you …”
“I said for you to apologize!”
Peter suddenly raised his voice in rebuke and his stern gaze fell on Theresa’s voice.
“You … you … Peter, are you asking me to apologize to Adriana?”
It is intolerable.
“Obviously she’s the one who bullied me, okay.” She bit her lips in aggravation and watered.
“Ms. Hale is the largest partner of The Alston family, and you shouldn’t speak without thinking, for reasons of reason.”
Peter’s attitude towards Theresa was very cold, “If you want to marry into The Alston family, you have to learn how to behave, otherwise, The Alston family will not accept a mindless retard.”
“What, you … you call me … retarded?”
She looked at Peter innocently, her eyes heavy with tears, constantly in her eyes.
“In The Lindsay Family, you are the apple of your father’s eye, and your father can forgive you unconditionally for any nonsense you may do. Because you are the only daughter of The Lindsay Family. But The Alston family, with its large population, has many enemies in the business world, and one wrong move is a bottomless abyss. How could I let The Alston family be destroyed by a woman?”
His words were straightforward.
A woman who does not know how to conduct herself in the world is not destined to manage the business of The Alston family if she marries into The Alston family.
At the same time, it is also telling Theresa that if you are very capable, then you will certainly be given the opportunity to take care of the Alston Group and become the real matriarch of The Alston family.
At this moment, even though Theresa has much bitterness in her heart, she can only break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.
Nodded and said in a resigned voice, “Peter, I’m sorry about …, I know I’m wrong.”
“It’s not me, it’s Ms. Hale.”
Peter kept his eyes on Theresa’s body, not even a glance at Adriana.
But it doesn’t mean that you haven’t seen her expression.
“I … Adri, I’m sorry.”
Theresa was very aggrieved in her heart, but no matter how aggrieved she was, her wedding with Peter was imminent and absolutely nothing could go wrong.
As Adriana said, she and Peter had already been engaged once and called it off.
If this wedding is cancelled again, then she, Theresa, will be abandoned by The Alston family for the second time, and who will want him then?
Weighing the pros and cons, she naturally knows the rationale for commiserating.
“It’s my fault that I spoke out of turn just now, I’m sorry, can you forgive me?”
She clasped her hands together, completely disregarding the red and swollen cheeks, tears came out of her eyes, her tearful appearance was pitiful and really heartbreaking.
But Adriana had seen too many of her hypocritical faces to be fooled by her appearances.
“What do you need the police for if an apology works?”
She turned to her desk and said in a cold voice, “Mr. Alston and Miss Lindsay are not welcome here, and as of today, the Soto family is cancelling any business relationship with The Alston family and The Lindsay Family. ”
“Huh? What?”
Theresa’s jaw dropped in disbelief.
But on second thought, he immediately said, “Adri, don’t be ridiculous. I know I upset you and it’s my fault. But you’ve just come back to the Soto family and your roots are not stable, so there are some things you really can’t do.”
Listen to the euphemistic tone as if you are worried about Adriana, but in reality you are telling Adriana, who do you think you are?
You just returned to the Soto family and you want to cancel the cooperation? You are too naive and childish.
“Who says Adri can’t make decisions in the Soto family?”
At that moment, two people walked in outside the office.
It was Harlee who walked in with the Soto family senior.
The two men stood one behind the other, with several bodyguards standing behind them guarding the outside of the office.
“Old Mr. Soto.”
“Old Mr. Soto.”
Raylan and Peter briefly greeted him.
Old Mr. Soto looked at Adriana and frowned, “Look at you, what does it look like to be bullied by others on your own turf? What a no-good.”
“Yeah, Adri, someone like Theresa should just have security throw them out.”
Harlee didn’t bother with so much nonsense and directly greeted the bodyguards behind her, saying, “You guys, get her out of my house!”
“No, no …”
Facing Adriana, Theresa is not scrupulous.
But opposite the Soto family old man, is the head of the family in charge, she had to be afraid.
After learning from my father, I know that Old Mr. Soto is very strong and has a casual nature. When he was young, he was even more spontaneous.
Theresa is really worried that Old Mr. Soto will cancel the partnership with Lindsay Group and the loss will be incalculable.
“Grandpa Soto, I’m sorry, I was impulsive earlier, it’s my fault, I …”
“Impulsive is impulsive, there are so many excuses and reasons?”
He glared at Harlee, “I told you to get rid of him, didn’t I hear you! My granddaughter, Quintin, can’t be bullied like that? This is outrageous!”
“Yes, Grandpa.”
Harlee waved her hand.
A few of the bodyguards there immediately came forward and went straight to Theresa, the momentum could not wait to throw Theresa out of here.
At that moment, Adriana was quite a bit surprised and was actually overcome by the old man’s dominance.
I feel really happy to have such a grandfather’s pampering.
Since childhood, she has always been bullied by others part, now someone stood up for her bullying back, that strong backing gave her a warm sense of security.
It makes her feel twice as happy.
“Grandpa Soto, my father has been working with your company, so it’s not very nice of you to treat me like this.”
Theresa said while pulling Peter’s arm and asking him for help, hoping that Peter would come forward to help her.
If not, how could she, Theresa, behave in the future if things got out?
“It’s up to me, Quintin, to decide whether to cooperate or not, what’s Logan?”
Old Mr. Soto hands behind his back, slate a national face, quite a few serious, not angry.
The sharp glare made Theresa a little weak.
Weakly, he said, “Grandpa Soto, I …”
“Old Mr. Soto.”
Before Theresa could finish her sentence, Peter stepped forward and stood in front of Theresa, saying, “We are all in the business world, we don’t see each other, so why do you have to be common sense with a youngster? Besides, Ms. Hale has already taught Theresa a lesson, so let’s leave it at that. I’ll take her away now.”
