She had just opened the file when Old Mr. Soto turned around and walked over to stand in front of her desk.
“I heard you met with old Mr. Powell?”
Old Mr. Soto played with the walnuts and stood in front of Adriana with a cold face and an icy tone.
Adriana didn’t even look up, while reading the file, she said, “You’re quite well-informed, how many people are you looking for to keep an eye on me?”
Being followed is what Adriana hates the most, but what can be done about it?
And she could just turn her back on Old Mr. Soto?
For now, strength does not allow.
She had to find out what was going on behind the scenes of Old Mr. Soto before she could do so.
“I’m your grandfather, how do you talk.”
He spoke in a heavier tone, unable to hide his anger.
Adriana laughed and looked up at him, “So how do you want me to talk to you?”
“Adri, you’re here?”
At that moment, the office door opened and Harlee walked in from outside, seeing the two men face-to-face in a stalemate, and seeing that nothing good could come of it.
Immediately came over to reconcile the atmosphere, “you can be considered to come, the company’s affairs I have almost solved, the afternoon can be the results, tomorrow a press conference on it. The only thing is that those few people are unified in caliber, no one will say the mastermind behind.”
Harlee was talking about cosmetics containing toxic substances.
“No need to check, I know who it is. ”
Do you still need to check?
“You now even if you let them say that the killer behind the scenes is Theresa, it is useless, now that there is a lot of gossip out there, they bite the bullet and say that it is Theresa, instead they will say that I deliberately retaliate against Theresa.”
After all, she was the one who caused Theresa’s divorce from Peter, and Theresa’s baby was miscarried along with her, and the rumor was that she was the one who lost Theresa’s baby.
Heavy things are linked together, and to outsiders, the two are enemies.
Even if the hospitalized few say Theresa is behind it, it is possible to say that they paid off the patients to bite Theresa back.
“There’s something to be said for that.”
Harlee was agreeing with Adriana’s idea and then looked to Old Mr. Soto, “Grandpa, what brings you here, is something wrong?”
“I just came over to ask Adriana about her marriage to both Raylan.”
Old Mr. Soto is very interested in Adriana’s marriage to Raylan and mentions it again and again.
But it is this that will make Adriana feel disgusted, even disgusted.
Her face immediately sank, eyebrows lightly wrinkled, “I repeat, I do not need you to interfere in my affairs with Raylan. Also, I don’t like Raylan and have no intention of marrying him. At most, I can give Raylan a chance now to cultivate a relationship, if you push me again, I will directly issue a personal statement to dissolve the relationship between Raylan and me.”
“Don’t you dare!”
The old man’s pupils were wide and furious.
“Might as well try.”
She looked at Old Mr. Soto with calmness and without the slightest fear on her face.
The two men faced each other with four eyes, burning flames, and no one refused to admit defeat.
Harlee quite some headache, immediately said: “OK OK, grandpa, this matter can not be rushed, you …”
“Adriana, don’t forget that you are a child of the Soto family. As long as I live, the Soto family is my master, and you, you must obey. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being polite.”
Not waiting for Harlee’s words to speak, Old Mr. Soto directly put out harsh words.
After so many years of being threatened, the thing Adriana hated most was being threatened again, and she was a little broken.
Snapping the file shut, he stood up, gazed at Old Mr. Soto with cold eyes, and said through gritted teeth, “If you dare to lay your hands on Luis and Helen, I will not let you get away with it even if I die.”
“Oh, that also depends on whether you have that ability.”
Old Mr. Soto grunted coldly and turned around to leave the office.
Bang!
There was a loud bang and the office door flung heavily shut.
Adriana froze for a moment, falling helplessly into her chair, her mind blank, not knowing what to do.
It gives her a headache to think about what’s happening now, but she doesn’t know how to change things.
“Adri, are you okay?”
Harlee asked.
Adriana stares at her desk and is silent for a moment.
After a moment, he said, “Harlee, are you worthy of my trust?”
In the end, Adriana did not have 100% trust in Harlee, but now she is willing to trust one or two.
The serious look made Harlee’s heart lift along, “If there is anything you can say, I will do my best.”
“You know …”
Adriana’s cold eyes narrowed slightly, “Does Old Mr. Soto have something on me?”
That kind of certainty is bound to hold an important handle.
If not, Old Mr. Soto would not be so confident.
It’s not a one-time or two-time threat.
The most afraid or take the two children, but the children are The Alston family, he should not dare to lay a vicious hand.
There is only one ultimate goal, and that is her!
Adriana’s question was only a suspicion, but it made Harlee’s pupils shake and the whole person was stunned for a moment.
“Adri, don’t think about all that nonsense. I’ll go down and see Grandpa, I’ll talk to him.”
Harlee didn’t dare say much and walked straight out of the office, slowly, but jogged into the elevator the moment he closed the office door.
Waiting to dash to the negative second floor parking lot, Old Mr. Soto’s car started and was preparing to leave.
He stepped forward and stopped as soon as he could.
Knock Knock-
Knocked on the window glass, waved, and the driver pushed open the door and stepped out of the car.
He opened the rear door, sat in, looked at Old Mr. Soto who was leaning against the car seat with his eyes closed, swallowed and asked, “Adriana’s poison, was it never lifted at all?”
Originally, he trusted his grandfather a lot.
But several times Old Mr. Soto threatened Adriana about the two children, which made him feel somehow.
It just doesn’t go deeper than that.
Now I think the truth is outrageous.
When Adriana took the drug on the unnamed island, the disease will attack once a year, are given in advance to control the antidote.
At the end of last year, Adriana had an attack and disappeared for several days afterwards.
That time, when I saw Adriana again, I only felt that she had lost a lot of weight, and it was the state after the torture.
When I asked my grandfather, he said that taking the medicine would clear up automatically within four years.
From that time to now exactly four years, it is reasonable to say that the effect of the drug should be lifted, but with the current situation, it is not.
I’m afraid …
She still has toxins in her system.
Old Mr. Soto closed his eyes lazily, “Not quite stupid.”
“Grandpa, you …!”
Harlee was furious, her face was blue with anger, “How can you do this to Adri, she is my sister! For so many years, she has been stranded outside by herself and suffered so much, and now you actually want to take advantage of her. Why do you want to do this?”
No matter how angry he was, the old man just leaned on the car seat and closed his eyes.
Obviously didn’t want to talk to Harlee.
“What are you talking about? When you found Adriana, you told me that you sent her to the unnamed island just to train her so that she would not be bullied in the future, but why are you doing that now? Are you saying that from the beginning you have been treating her as a pawn?”
