“Stop right there! This is The Alston family, and as long as my old man is here, it’s not your turn to be in charge as a junior.”
Old Mr. Alston was exasperated, not expecting Peter to openly resist.
“Grandpa, don’t you want to make a big deal out of it and make it known to everyone? It won’t just be The Alston family’s face that will be lost then.”
Peter was tougher than just now. A lot more.
Brenden gave him a long look and said to Old Mr. Alston, “Dad, you can’t force the issue. Hmm?”
That one ‘hmm’ has a deeper meaning.
Just because others don’t understand Brenden doesn’t mean Old Mr. Alston doesn’t understand him.
After a moment of hesitation, he waved his hand, “Hmph, if you want to go hurry up and leave, don’t be in my way here.”
He left the main hall with his cane in his pestle.
Adriana took Luis and left with Harlee and Raylan.
Aaren and Giovanny follow suit and leave.
The bodyguards dispersed, and Peter and Hank both slowed down their pace and slowly walked towards the outside.
Along the way, Hank couldn’t help but ask the doubt in his heart, “The young master wants to come back, why don’t you agree?”
“It’s good to follow Adriana.”
“boss, the misunderstanding between you and Ms. Hale is too deep, I’m afraid that when you …”
He wanted to say that the misunderstanding between Peter and Adriana was so deep that even after his death, Adriana might not forgive him.
“Go to the hospital.”
Without waiting for Hank to finish, he interrupted Hank and ordered.
“Yes.”
We left The Alston family’s old house and went straight to the hospital.
Hank knew that Alvin and Edward already knew about the physical condition of their own boss and immediately sent them a private message to come to the hospital.
Half an hour later, Peter had a full body checkup.
Zac took the examination report, glanced at it, and then dropped it straight into the shredder.
After taking a look at the person leaning on the sofa, he walked over and handed over a cigarette, “I heard that today you made a big fuss about The Alston family’s old house?”
Peter’s thin lips held a cigarette, holding a silver windproof lighter, lit the cigarette, took a drag, and puffed out a faint smoke, “Hmm.”
“So, your injury today was the ‘work’ of the old man?”
I have to say, this Old Mr. Alston is really ruthless.
Peter didn’t say anything, looking down and smoking a cigarette, not in a good mood.
“It seems that the old man has made up his mind to support Brenden and drive you out of the game.”
Zac, in his white coat, unbuttoned and sighed, “You’re just going to turn a blind eye?”
“I don’t want to waste time on things that don’t matter.”
Peter is naturally talking about the Alston Group.
The Alston family is known to be a powerful family, but in Peter’s eyes it is no more than that.
There is not much time left, and if we waste time on such things, is that not an idiotic act?
“There’s something to be said for that.”
Zac gave a slight jaw and asked again, “What do you want to do next?”
“There’s nothing to do.”
The man spread his hands, “It’s hard to be all relaxed.
Squeak-
The office door opened and Edward and Alvin both came in.
“Brother, are you okay?”
Edward strides up to him with a serious look of concern.
On the contrary, Alvin still looked gentle and elegant, walked up to him with a gloomy look and said gently, “I heard that you were injured, who did it?”
Peter’s slanted eyebrows wrinkled, subconsciously looked at Zac, Zac immediately waved a hand, “No, no, no, really not what I said.”
He didn’t dare to inform Edward and Alvin.
Since he didn’t say it, it must be Hank.
Peter didn’t pursue the matter and pointed to the couch, “Sit down. alvin, you and Brenda called off the engagement?”
“Yes.”
“That’s pretty good.”
“Big brother, your concern right now should be about yourself.”
Edward was very worried about Peter’s situation and asked with a serious look, “After all, you don’t have to work now, why not go abroad and try to find someone else?”
In any case, it is better than sitting on the sidelines.
“It’s useless, it’s useless.”
Without waiting for Peter to speak, Zac, who was smoking silently with his head down over there, spoke in a very disheveled manner.
A few people fell into silence as the words fell.
Zac’s medical skills, they are recognized, after all, he also has a small international status.
Since he said it’s useless, it must be really useless.
So, all that awaits Peter is death?
…
At the same time.
Adriana and her group returned home, and because it was late, simply took Luis home and sent him upstairs.
“Adri, in the future you should guard against Peter, that kind of scum, it is better to stay away.”
Harlee admonished Adriana with some unease.
Adriana was making tea and did not answer when she heard him speak.
“Adri, you don’t still have thoughts about that bastard, do you?”
Unable to get an answer, Harlee walked over, stood next to her, and asked again.
Adriana picked up the delicate white porcelain cup and poured a cup of tea into Harlee’s hand, “Drink tea.”
It seems likethe only way to gag Harlee is to drink the tea.
She turned around, walked to the couch and sat down, handing Raylan a cup of tea, “Longjing before the rain, it tastes good.”
Raylan took the tea, leisurely tasting the tea, “I did not see, your tea making skills are not bad.”
“Getting by.”
Adriana laughs it off.
So the two began to make small talk, keeping their mouths shut about what had happened today at The Alston family.
Harlee, who was standing on the sidelines, understood that Adriana did not want to talk about the day’s events.
After standing for a while, he said sagely, “Adri, there is still something going on in the company, so I will go and take care of it first.”
“Good.”
A simple word ‘good’, the answer is so casual and perfunctory, there is no intention to retain him.
Harlee raised an eyebrow and was so helpless that she had to leave.
With a slamming sound, the living room fell silent.
Raylan put down the cup in his hand in due course, “What do you think of today’s events?”
“It doesn’t matter how I look at it, it’s already happened. But I’m going to stay for a while and then leave the country.”
“Out of the country? Los Angeles?”
“Not sure for now.”
“Damn you, I moved my new company to Waverly because of you, and now you’re telling me you’re leaving. What a heartless.”
Raylan, somewhat annoyed, burst out and added, “Don’t tell me you left Waverly because of Peter. or … the Soto family?”
He was smart enough to know what was going through Adriana’s mind.
Even though Adriana didn’t say it, he could guess a thing or two.
“It hasn’t been quiet all these years, and I just want to live the life I love now.”
Adriana’s pursuit of life is not high, wanting to live every day a little simpler, but although life is free of food and clothing, it is a series of twists and turns, making her feel particularly tired every day.
“That … two children you want to take away? Adri, I know that Peter has brought you a lot of harm over the years, but the child in the end or Mrs. Alston single-handedly raised, you suddenly take the child away, Mrs. Alston she …”
Raylan’s nature is thin and cold, everyone thinks he is a ruthless person, in fact, after deep contact with all know that Raylan is not that kind of person.
