Adriana walked over and instructed.
And then slightly converge eyebrows, “hard work for you guys, I will not treat you poorly in terms of pay.”
On all sides, Adriana must ensure the safety of the two children, otherwise it is pointless to wrestle them from Peter.
“What’s wrong, what’s wrong?” Aaren asked while playing the game.
Adriana shook her head, “Nothing, just uncomfortable.”
She sat down on the couch, looked at him and asked, “How’s it going with Alani?”
Since Alani came to Waverly, Adriana has been asking Aaren to guard Alani, but later gave a direct refusal.
Although Adriana is there to protect him, Alani does not like the feeling of being ‘watched’.
In this way, she did not force it any further.
“He’s fine.”
“That’s fine.”
Adriana slightly jawed, “You and Giovanny discuss the rotation yourself, the time is late, also all early rest.”
Having said that, Adriana got up and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Vivian rested early, and Adriana was too distracted to care for her.
After washing up and lying in bed, mulling over the short time left, she suddenly remembered Brenda.
She had agreed with her yesterday to think about it for a day, and now it was just about time for her to give her a call.
Called Brenda’s number, the phone beeped unanswered for a few times.
She didn’t bother to call again, because Adriana knew in her heart that if Brenda didn’t want to answer the phone, it would be useless for her to call as many times as she could.
…
The Alston family’s old house.
In the meeting room of the atrium, although it was already 10 o’clock late at night, there were still many elders gathered.
Peter stood in the middle of the parlor, waiting for the crowd to interrogate him.
For, he gave custody of Luis and Helen to Adriana without asking Old Mr. Alston’s permission.
Bang–
Old Mr. Alston slammed the table and glared at him with a stern gaze, “You’re just being ridiculous, why would you give Adriana custody of both children?”
“Yes brother, have you ever considered Mom’s feelings when you do that?”
Sloane sat beside Mrs. Alston, “Both children were raised by Mom, you … you are too much.”
“Yes Peter, what you did was really not right.”
UncleBrenden followed and echoed.
“The Soto family and The Alston family have been feuding for two generations, wouldn’t you now be giving your child to the Soto family as an additional handle?”
“Theresa had a miscarriage and lost her baby. You’ve lost all your heirs, and the whole Waverly family will laugh at The Alston family when you tell them.”
“That’s right.”
“Still too young.”
…
Peter looked unchanged, standing calmly in the middle of the living room, hands in the pockets of his pants, posture with a few lazy air, but invisible but revealing a compelling aura.
He raised his eyelids slightly, his dark ink-like eyes met Old Mr. Alston’s harsh gaze, and said slowly: “Luis and Helen started with a deal, the appendages, and naturally, they must also end with a deal. Give them both to Adriana, in exchange for my freedom, why not?”
Peter said the breeze, that casual and unrestrained look, seems to care about the two children at all.
Old Mr. Alston’s fists clenched, “Nonsense. You’re going to trade two kids just because you got caught by the police?”
“Grandpa used to arrange for Adriana to give birth to my children, and would have used the unborn child as a bargain, two children for my freedom is really worth it. Besides, there are so many women who want to have children for my Peter, so why worry about it?”
The other hand took out the cigarette case from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked it alone in silence.
There was no intention to give cigarettes to the elders present, and the lazy posture was permeated with arrogance and arrogance, causing discomfort to the crowd.
“You were taken away by the police, I will naturally find a way. You … Peter, you are really too disappointing to me.”
Old Mr. Alston’s face turned red with anger, pointed at his face and commanded, “I don’t care what method you use, bring the two children back to me immediately. If not, mandatory is fine. In terms of lawsuits, we The Alston family has never been afraid of anyone.”
After all, Rowan, the first barrister of Atror, is very close to The Alston family, and as long as he is there, there is no fear of losing a lawsuit.
“I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you. I signed an agreement with Adriana, black and white, ironclad evidence. I, Peter, have no merits, but I will do what I say. Since I promised to give the child to Adriana, naturally I will not ask for it back. If you want children, I will give you a grandchild with Theresa as soon as possible.”
Peter was unimpressed and not frightened by Old Mr. Alston’s anger.
“Peter, it’s not Uncle’s fault that Luis is nine years old and it’s not easy to raise him, so it’s too cheap to give him to Adriana. She is a woman, with two children around is a burden, you may want to talk to her, play more psychological tactics, may be able to get Luis back from her side.”
Brenden legs folded, elbows propped up on the armrests of the mahogany tai shi chair, the villain’s smug posture resembles that of an ancient sycophant.
“It is because the child is older that I know how troublesome it is to raise a child. Now it’s nice to be all relaxed without a child. On the contrary, Uncle, you already have Leonidas, so you should bring Leonidas over more often to keep the old man company.”
He said with an arc of his lips and an evil smile.
“Shut up!”
The old man suddenly roared, “This is settled, you immediately go to Adriana to ask for someone, really can not use the force.”
The implication is that Luis will be taken back from Adriana no matter what.
Helen, on the other hand, is insignificant in their eyes because she is a girl.
“Can’t do it.”
Peter didn’t bother to say much and intuitively returned three words.
“You …”
Old Mr. Alston was momentarily speechless, pointing at Peter’s hand shaking with anger.
Seeing this, Mrs. Alston immediately said, “Peter, don’t be ridiculous, listen to your grandfather.” She looked at Peter with tearful eyes and shook her head imperceptibly.
It is vaguely hinting at something.
Little did she know, what she knew, how could Peter not know?
If not, why would The Alston family gather here in the middle of the night?
“I’m not fooling around.”
His long fingers held a cigarette, flicked the ash, and held the butt in his lips, took a drag, exhaled faint smoke from his nose, “This matter is not negotiable.”
A categorical statement directly blocked everyone’s mouth.
“It’s just nonsense.”
“Getting out of control, it seems he is no longer suitable for the position of president of Alston Group.”
“Who says it isn’t? It’s time for a change.”
“I think Brenden would be a good fit.”
…
A number of people from The Alston Family gathered here, and because of Peter’s perversity, all had different opinions in mind.
Either already colluded, or temporarily lobbied, or already see Peter displeased.
So, the crowd seconded the motion to remove him as the CEO of Alston Group.
