He raised an eyebrow and smiled knowingly, “Wait for Uncle’s news tomorrow.”
The words fell, handsome turn, striding out of the meeting room.
Only Brenden stood still, his mind in a mess, really can not figure out what Peter in the end played the scheme.
I blame myself for talking too much, why did I open that mouth and say that I was going to have a baby on Peter’s behalf?
It was just a casual remark, but I never expected that he would agree to it.
This feels like digging a hole to hunt, but inadvertently fell in by himself.
…
Peter left The Alston family’s old house and on his way back, he took his cell phone and made a phone call.
It’s Jimmy’s phone.
Jimmy, his own brother.
He went abroad after his engagement to Theresa five years ago.
Over the years, Jimmy ignored things at home and would just take time to call his mom and Sloane to ask about daily life.
This is so because Jimmy likes Theresa.
But Theresa he … couldn’t match.
The phone rang a few times and a lazy voice came from there, “Brother, what’s the matter with the call? I’m sleeping.”
According to the time difference, it was already sunrise in Jimmy’s place, and he was still sleeping?
“Pack your things and come back immediately.”
Peter superfluous a word of nonsense are not, directly commanded.
“No return.”
Jimmy froze for a few seconds and declined with alacrity.
“I say again, pack your things and come back immediately.”
He and Jimmy have always had a good relationship, only the relationship has distanced over the past few years, but the relationship has not been damaged by the appearance of Theresa.
“Why?”
Jimmy asked reluctantly.
“If you don’t want to see Mom and her sister sleeping on the streets, you better hurry back.”
Peter endured a patient explanation and then hung up the phone.
Leaning back in the back seat of the car, Peter looked out sideways at the bright moonlight and twinkling stars as The Alston family’s old house was halfway up the hill that their car was circling.
In this angle a view of Waverly at night, the lights of thousands of homes, bright glaze, very beautiful.
But Peter’s heart is steeped in a few pallor.
…
The next day.
Bang Bang Bang –
The thumping of the violent knocking on the door disturbed Adriana, who was making breakfast downstairs.
She stood in the doorway of the living room with a doubtful mind, and went up the stairs with a moment’s hesitation.
Walking down the hallway, hesaw a group of people standing in front of the bedroom where Luis and Helen were, and the leader of them was Brenden.
“What are you doing?”
Adriana, who had been groomed and natural, suddenly became stern.
Brenden, dressed in a black suit, with a cigarette in one hand and one hand in his trouser pocket, looked at her sideways and smiled wickedly, “Adri?”
“I know you well? Please call me!”
In any case, what happened back then has cast a shadow on Adriana’s heart, and it is absolutely impossible for her to be open to someone who has hurt her and hurt her child.
Brenden raised an eyebrow and smiled, shrugging, “Ms. Hale, good morning.”
“Don’t bullshit me. What are you doing over here?”
Adriana walked up to him and blocked directly in front of the living room door, her hawk-like eyes fixed on Brenden with a deadly stare, “Are you trying to hit on the two kids again?”
“Ho ho ho, Ms. Hale, you’re too nervous.”
He smiled wickedly and uncontrollably and pointed to the people behind him and said, “These people are from The Alston family old house, Peter asked me to help by bringing a few people over to take Luis back to The Alston family.”
She shifted all the blame to Peter and deliberately set aside the relationship.
“Peter?”
Adriana’s eyes narrowed slightly and her pupils flashed slightly, she couldn’t help but smile, “Really, since it’s your turn to pick up his son, since when did you and Mr. Alston have such a good relationship with each other?”
This kind of words to coax a fool, if said to Adriana in the past, she will certainly believe, but now is not the past.
She has long since ceased to be as innocent as she was at the beginning, so how could she possibly believe his bullshit.
“Ms. Hale misunderstood, this time it is not about my relationship with Peter. If he doesn’t take Luis back, then there will be no Peter in Alston Group.”
His lips held a cigarette, a faint disgust spewed out between his nostrils, hazing the demonic face of an evil and seductive man.
But it could not reduce Adriana’s dislike for him.
“So, you think I’m going to believe you?”
Adriana’s face remained unchanged, and she continued to take it in stride.
It’s just that the heart inevitably ripples.
It turns out that this time because of Luis’ matter, Old Mr. Alston actually threatened Peter with the position of president of Alston Group.
It seems that the people of The Alston family have a high regard for Luis.
Of course, Luis is nothing more than a trade item for The Alston family, and his existence will only be an accessory to the deal between The Alston family and the Soto family.
Adriana will never allow her son to repeat the same mistake and follow in her footsteps.
“Believe it or not it doesn’t matter, I just wanted to come over and bring Luis back. Or is Ms. Hale really willing to see Peter being kicked out of the game? You should know very well that Peter used to gallop through the shopping malls with amazing ability, stepping on other people’s bones and blood all the way to the top to get where he is today. If he steps down, how many people will hate him? How many people will hate him and his family?”
Brenden is good at mind games and seems to have Adriana well in hand.
However, she is no longer the same Adriana as before.
“What does it matter to me if Peter, or anyone from The Alston family, is dead or alive? Instead, you are his Uncle, and if he is kicked out and you ignore it, you will be the one who is mocked and abused.”
This is what the mouth says.
But Adriana knows one thing more clearly in her heart, that is, Peter was kicked out of the game, the first person to do it to him is not Brenden will be Harlee.
“Ms. Hale is a smart man.”
Brenden slightly jawed, “But how things will go from here, who can know? Instead, right now I’m taking Luis back to The Alston family’s old house, and if you don’t want to, don’t blame me for not being polite.”
“You’re not welcome? How is that unkind?”
Adriana was undaunted, “If you touch Luis today, do you think Harlee will continue to work with you in business?”
This is something Adriana also struggles with.
Brenden is extremely fond of Harlee’s power, and his doing so now is tantamount to self-destruction.
“These people are Peter’s people, I am only responsible for bringing them here. The rest of the things naturally need to be done by them.”
With that, he turned leisurely and looked behind him stood two rows of bodyguards dressed in suits, uniformly wearing white hands, across the stand, and said, “Your task is to bring Luis back to The Alston family, or … consequences at your own risk. ”
“Yes.”
A group of well-trained men jawed slightly and returned with a loud voice.
Seeing this scene, Brenden raised his eyebrows and the corners of his lips raised in an imperceptible curve, “Ms. Hale, I’ve done what I had to do. As Peter’s Uncle, I just did what I could to do what I had to do, I advised Peter, but it was all his insistence.”
Three words skimmed the blame cleanly, “Let’s go.”
