She wanted to kill Adriana, who saved her instead.
Back then, Adriana had also helped out many times.
Brenda genuinely feels guilty.
“If you want to thank me, tell me who is behind your manipulation?”
Adriana now just wants to know the culprit behind it.
The small woman leaning against the hospital bed had a slight twinkle in her eyes, thought for a moment, and said, “It … is … Tatum.”
She did not lie and told the truth.
But the real culprit behind Brenda’s mouth refers to the person who ordered her to kidnap Adriana alone.
“Tatum?”
Adriana knows him.
I just didn’t think Tatum would actually go after her.
It stands to reason that she was the one who provoked Theresa, then Theresa deliberately retaliated and would seek out Tatum.
It is not impossible that this is not possible.
Just …
Tatum is incredibly powerful, so how could he let Brenda do it?
“What’s your relationship with Tatum?”
“I … I said, will you make sure I don’t die?” At the critical moment, Brenda is still talking terms with Adriana.
“I can’t guarantee your life or death, but if you don’t talk, I’ll send you to Tatum.”
She has long since ceased to be the weak little girl who faced Brenda’s poisonous heart, categorically not grateful because she saved Alvin at the end.
Because everything happened because of her, the responsibility is hers to bear.
“Heh heh, so I don’t have a choice?”
Brenda laughed.
The smile is as sarcastic as it can be.
But now in the present situation, there is no choice at all.
The only thing she could do was to tell Adriana a half-truth and save herself in the process.
“Tatum and Theresa close relationship, I guess Theresa begged Tatum to take a shot. But Tatum and I have also been in contact for a long time, initially met is a film shoot, he was an investor. That … time he slept with me. So far after that, we got in touch. Later also knew my heart for Alvin, so he used my hatred for you to provoke me to do it to you.”
After a pause, then said: “Tatum originally wanted to blame everything on me, after all, the Soto family is not a vegetarian, he was afraid to cause a riot. I just didn’t expect me to mess things up. He was just like lifting a stone and smashing his own feet.”
In fact, that’s what Tatum thinks.
In Tatum’s eyes, she is a dispensable pawn.
I was just confused by Tatum at the time, so I didn’t see everything clearly.
It was only yesterday that she saw everything, and then it was too late to repent.
Fortunately, God has treated her well, so she can still live.
Adriana thought about the phone number Colin found yesterday, and combined with what Brenda said, she thought she was not lying.
After sitting for a while, he said nothing, got up and left.
Outside the ward, Adriana instructed several people, “Keep a good watch.”
“Yes, Ms. Hale.”
A few people responded.
Adriana returns to her hospital room and enters only to find that Raylan has arrived.
“What brings you here?”
Looking at him, he asked, “Didn’t you say the company was busy in the last few days?”
Raylan was chatting with Harlee, when he saw Adriana walk in, his face immediately sank and he was a little upset, “It’s only been five days since you were injured, and you’re walking around, aren’t you afraid of tearing your wounds?”
“Right, that’s what I said about her.”
Harlee concurred in quick succession.
“Am I that frail.”
Adriana gave them a blank look, smiled, and sat across from them, “I feel almost well enough that I want to get out of the hospital.”
After staying in the hospital for several days, apart from visiting Alvin, she was bored lying alone in the hospital bed, chatting meaninglessly, she was really dying of loneliness.
“Nonsense. You want to get out right away when you’re injured?”
Raylan really wonders if Adriana is a woman.
That day, I dragged my sick body around in order to go to Alvin, and now I have to leave the hospital again after just a few days of rest.
It doesn’t stop at all.
“There’s still a lot going on in the company …”
“I don’t need you, I’ll do it.”
Harlee interrupted her directly.
Adriana bristled, “The hospital is too boring, I want to go home and lie down for a while.”
“I can rotate shifts with Raylan to keep you company.”
Adriana: “…”
Let the two of them talk, Adriana still made up her mind, “I’ve asked Rene to check me out of the hospital and I can go back this afternoon.”
“You … I really can’t do anything with you.”
Harlee was annoyed, but there was really nothing she could do about it.
After a few people sat down for a while, Raylan got straight to the point, “You just went to see Brenda, what did she say?”
“Tatum.”
She said only two words.
The two men on the couch look at me, I look at you, full of doubts.
Raylan then asked, “Is that Theresa?”
Ultimately, the biggest culprit in this matter is Theresa.
Tatum has been away from Waverly for so many years and has never met Adriana and the two of them, so how could they be entangled?
It’s either because of Peter or Theresa.
But in Adriana’s case, the last possible one is Theresa.
Adriana didn’t say anything, sort of acquiescing.
“NND, that bitch hurt you again, see if I don’t kill her this time my name is not Harlee.”
The man who was furious stood up in a flash, the way he wanted to rush out of the ward right now and pick up Theresa and beat her up.
“You don’t need to get involved in this.”
Adriana stopped right there and said, “I’ve been feuding with her for many years, it’s time to settle things. harlee, I don’t need you to get involved in my business, this time, I’m going to do it myself.”
Seeing that Adriana is very stubborn, Harlee doesn’t say anything.
“Okay, fine.”
Harlee promised her and then said uneasily, “If you run into any difficulties be sure to tell me, or I’ll really step in.”
“Got it.”
Adriana cried and laughed.
Seeing that it was getting late, Adriana got up and went to find Alvin.
No one was in Alvin’s room, Zac was supposed to be at work, and Edward had gone off somewhere.
Walk into the ward and close the door.
Alvin heard the ringing and looked over sideways, smiling warmly, “I heard Zac say you’re getting out of the hospital today?”
“The hospital was too boring and I wanted to go home for some air.”
She walked slowly to Alvin’s bedside, pulled out the escort chair and sat down, “By now your parents still don’t know about you, you plan to hide it all the way to the end?”
At the mention of his family, Alvin’s pale face sank, “Sooner or later, I’ll have to find out, I just don’t want them to worry too soon.”
Simmer a day is a day, when it is not too late to cheat.
“So let me ask you, what are you going to do about Brenda?”
For Brenda’s matter, Adriana felt to follow Alvin’s decision.
It’s a lie that she doesn’t have hatred for Brenda.
But Alvin’s life was saved by Brenda, and the biggest victim was also Alvin, so it was more appropriate for her to give the choice to Alvin.
“Brenda …”
Alvin raised his hand and brushed his gold-rimmed glasses, frowning in deep thought, “Send her abroad.”
He sighed, “She saved me, she saved my brother, and for good reason, I wouldn’t hurt her.”
