“Seven? Seven hundred million? That much?”
Adriana used to manage the company, and she knows very well in her heart that a dividend of seven hundred million is enough to explain the current situation of the company.
“Actually, we should thank you. Since the time you were away, The Alston family’s company signed a contract with us directly and he is our biggest client. And then The Alston family has referred quite a few companies, so the company has had very good earnings over the years.”
Vivian introduced Adriana with a little pride, “I am where I am today thanks to you, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be here today, Ms. Hale, thank you so much.”
“No, no, no, Vivian, you deserve all this money. I will return the money to you later.”
Adriana refused.
She doesn’t need the money right now.
Rather, I would prefer to live a peaceful and quiet life.
“Ms. Hale, if you return the money to me, I will never have you as my sister again. I really appreciate you, although you are not my real sister, but the love is the same.”
Vivian pulled her in and smiled, “If you dare give me the money, you’ll never be contacted again. Besides, it’s Jenkins’ will, both of us together.”
A ‘windfall’, Adriana received the money and felt ashamed of it.
But since Vivian had said so, what else could she say?
“That’s fine, I’ll go over and check on Jenkins.”
“Come on, I’ll take you there with me.”
The two walked out of the office and toward Jenkins.
The person just walked to the office door when he heard a voice from inside.
“Jenkins, why, why are you doing this to me?”
“Flora, don’t you ever come back in the future. There is no possibility between us.”
“What’s impossible? Is it because of Adriana, is it because Adriana won’t let you be with me? I knew that woman, with her evil heart, I …”
Bang!
“Shut up Flora, I won’t allow you to say that about Adri, she’s my sister!”
…
Adriana stood in the doorway, listening to the conversation between Jenkins and Flora inside, and raised an eyebrow, thinking that now was not the right time.
It’s also not convenient to go in.
The two men turned around and went back to the office.
After a while, they both watched Flora run out crying, which led them to walk out and into Jenkins’ office.
Adriana: “You …”
“What are you still coming back for, I told you to leave, you do not listen to … Adri?”
Jenkins thought it was Flora who had returned, but when she turned around, it was actually Adriana.
“What brings you here?”
He scratched his head, “Sorry to make you look funny.”
“It’s okay.”
Adriana went in, found a seat and sat down.
Vivian said, “I have transferred all the company’s dividends for so many years to Ms. Hale. my task is done, you guys talk.”
She grinned, turned and walked out, taking the door of the office with her.
Instead, Jenkins said to Adriana, “Adri, without you, I really wouldn’t be where I am today. Thank you.”
She thanked from the bottom of her heart.
Jenkins is a smart guy.
Heaven forbid, he owes no one but Adriana.
The only thing I owe to Adriana is that I can’t repay it in this life.
“Brother, it’s out of line to say such things. We are a family.”
“Well, family.”
Adriana smiles, then remembers about Flora.
But just now Jenkins had decisively rejected Flora, and there was no need for her to ask again.
The two of them gossiped and chatted for a while, and then left.
Standing on the floor of YY Law Firm, Vivian walked her to her car before entering the building.
Adriana sat in the car and looked at the familiar place, even though she hadn’t been here very long.
But it was here that Imet Harlee.
It all started from here.
It can also be said that the Soto family is in control of her today, step by step.
First, he was in the midst of The Alston family’s calculation, step by step, and then he fell into the Soto family’s control.
Suddenly, I felt that my life was sad.
When will you be able to live your true self and be yourself again?
Naive, the strength disparity is too great, and she is ultimately too weak to protect herself.
Right now, she is most worried about her two children.
I am afraid that one day I will not even be able to protect my two children.
Adriana was wondering in her mind that if Giovanny and Aaren were Peter’s people, then it meant that Peter had been secretly protecting her.
If one day Peter is really gone, there is no one in this world who will always protect her and her child silently.
By then …
What will the situation be like?
The consequences are overwhelming when you think about it.
She sat in the car for a while before returning to the office.
It was already noon when I arrived at the office.
Looking at the mountain of papers on the table, Adriana’s head was in two places.
The good thing is that the children have been in the hospital with their grandmother for the past two days, and The Alston family has been taking care of the two children at night.
Adriana is not so worried.
It was a quiet day.
It is by and large the calm before the storm.
The sudden calm and silence was terrifying.
Adriana forced herself to work full time, but no matter what, she wasn’t able to work.
Because every minute and every second, her mind is Peter’s figure.
Knock Knock-
Someone knocked on the door and walked in.
“What are you doing here?”
Adriana watched as Harlee walked in, seeing no surprise.
So there are no emotional ups and downs.
Harlee walked up to her and saw that Adriana was burying her head in paperwork and had no intention of talking to him.
Reaching out, he knocked on the table, “Stop for a moment.”
“What’s up? What is it?”
Adriana looked at him, closed the file, and leaned back in her executive chair.
“Let me ask you, where did you go yesterday? Did you go to see Peter again?”
He was well-informed, and he was the first to know about anything Adriana had done.
Hearing his words, Adriana’s good-looking eyebrows knitted up, “Harlee …”
Calling his name, he paused and said, “Are you planning to spy on me for the rest of your life? Or are you going to plant a mobile monitor around me?”
She is really fed up with her life now.
“I …”
Harlee knew her words were a bit impulsive.
With a sigh, he went around to her and sat sideways on her desk, leaned down to look at her and said in a serious tone, “Adri, I’m doing this for your own good. Now the Soto family and The Alston family have been fighting with each other, and it’s not sensible for you to go to Peter.”
“A secret rivalry? Why didn’t you say that when you were working with Brenden and Raylan on the Ethines park project?” “Harlee, do you know what you’re doing?”
Adriana can’t figure out Harlee and doesn’t care about him.
“Adri, my cooperation with Brenden only existed to push Peter out of office. Now that Peter has been kicked out, it’s the biggest victory of all. How long do you think Brenden will last in The Alston family?”
Harlee seems to know Brenden like the back of her hand.
Adriana shook her head and closed her eyes, “I don’t care what’s going on between you guys, and I don’t care. I just want to ask you one thing right now, can you send me away?”
