Adriana hand flipped through the information on the desktop, but the information did not even look into the heart.
“Is it true what you say? Harlee wouldn’t be fooling around, could you be mistaken?”
“What got it wrong? The media got it all clear on film.”
“Oh, really? This Harlee is so frivolous and doesn’t think twice about doing anything.”
Adriana matched Old Mr. Soto’s performance and asked again, “How are you going to punish him for doing that?”
“Hmph, emotional and childish, I have known for a long time that he is not suitable to inherit the family business. Call him and tell him to hurry up and come to the office.”
Old Mr. Soto slapped the table angrily, his voice thumping.
How dare Adriana call his bluff at this point in time?
Dutifully, he took his cell phone and made acall to Harlee.
The phone rang for a while before it was connected, and the moment it was connected, she could still hear the unpleasant ambiguous sounds over there.
Her eyebrows knitted up and her face was red.
These two, not too … impatient.
“Where is it? Grandpa is coming to the office, you have 20 minutes to come here immediately, hurry up, do you hear me!”
Her tone, pretending to be angry, was an aside to tell Harlee the seriousness of the situation.
“Okay, got it.”
Hanging up the phone, Adriana set it aside.
The secretary walked in, presented Old Mr. Soto with a cup of tea, turned around and exited the office.
Adriana and Old Mr. Soto both seem to have little in common and are silent.
Only the clatter of paper from time to time as she flipped through the contract.
Time boiled by, she waited anxiously.
Thirty minutes later, the office door pushed open and Harlee came running in panting.
From the time she met Harlee until now, it was the first time Adriana had seen Harlee so flustered, even with a bit of fear on her face.
This shows that he scorns the old man not a star and a half.
Or maybe the old man did something even more cruel to him, only Harlee didn’t say so.
“Hooooooooooo~”
Breathing heavily, he glanced at Adriana and then walked over to Old Mr. Soto, “Grandpa, what do you want from me?”
“Get down on your knees!”
He let out an angry rebuke.
The bodyguard, who came with the nature, sensed that the occasion was not suitable to stay and retreated with good sense, guarding the office door.
“Grandpa, this …”
Harlee looked back with some hesitation, unwilling to kneel to Old Mr. Soto in his office.
“I’ll make you kneel down!!!”
Old Mr. Soto raised the decibel and roared like a lion in the river.
Bursting with anger, almost jumped in anger.
Harlee had rarely seen her grandfather so angry and had to meekly kneel down in front of him.
At that moment, he felt that his tall and imposing image in front of Adriana instantly disappeared into nothing.
Some shame.
Adriana didn’t look at what was happening over there, just looked down at the contract.
But the hand that tightly squeezed the pages of the contract betrayed her heart.
Adriana, anger.
But in order not to alarm the snake, she dared not say anything.
“You son of a bitch, tell me what you’ve done. You’re a disgrace to my the Soto family.”
Old Mr. Soto smoothly picked up the cup of hot water that Rene brought over just now, and smashed the cup directly towards Harlee.
The thick glass, just like that, hit Harlee in the head.
Harlee could have dodged it, but he took it without moving.
God knows how badly Adriana felt inside when she saw Harlee’s lack of resistance to Old Mr. Soto.
I can’t tell you what it’s like.
Heartache, helplessness, and hatred.
The world of hypocrisy, true and false, false and true, she is even on the verge of losing herself.
“Grandpa, I’m sorry, I’m the one who didn’t think about the consequences of my actions. But since you already know, I’ll tell you that I want to get married.”
Harlee’s forehead emerged blood, warm blood flowing down his forehead, seeping into his eyes, directly staining them red.
But he didn’t reach out to wipe the blood from his face.
“Marriage?”
Old Mr. Soto’s cheeks were trembling, “Is that the mediocre-looking woman reported on the news?”
Harlee hugged Eliza two smoothly landed in the square, but because the two were using a parachute, the target was obvious.
The reporters were pervasive and fast, appearing around them and taking pictures of everything.
And Eliza’s true colors were naturally exposed.
At this moment, Adriana suddenly felt careless.
It’s too careless.
If Old Mr. Soto thinks Harlee is still valuable, Eliza will be the next person in danger.
Adriana propped her elbows on the table, resting her head on the desk and looking at the papers on the table, nay her mind was a jumble.
She hates her own incompetence and at the same time is very interested in her own life.
It’s nice to know who you really are.
But no matter who she is, she has to go after the root of the investigation herself.
“Yes. Her name is Eliza, we’ve known each other for a long time, and I’ve liked her for many years. I hope Grandpa will make us whole.”
Harlee even kneeling, are body pole straight, obviously not yielding.
“Humph, what is the status of the Soto family, who is she, Eliza? You want to marry into the Soto family?
Old Mr. Soto slammed the table, “I advise you to break your mind, tomorrow I will arrange a match for you. the Suarez family in Waverly has a daughter who is not married, you may want to look around.”
Without giving Harlee any chance at all, he ruled directly on the future of his life.
He really thinks of himself as an emperor, and what he says is called holy orders.
Adriana is a human being, Harlee is also a human being, inevitably there will be rebellion under the long-term oppression.
“No way.”
Harlee refused aloud, “I only like Eliza and I only want to be with her. If you want to threaten the Soto family business, then, I’m sorry, I can’t do it.”
Originally, Harlee still had great respect for Old Mr. Soto, and even considered him an idol in her heart.
So time and time again under the harsh education, he was obedient.
By chance, Yisheng knew from the mouth of the old man that Adriana had been poisoned and the poison in her body had not been lifted.
At that moment, all the trust he had in Old Mr. Soto collapsed.
When one person no longer trusts another, it is difficult to obey.
Harlee, too, is the same.
His words fell, Old Mr. Soto’s face instantly gloomy with the speed visible to the naked eye, he did not speak for a long time.
It’s more like the calm before the storm.
There is a terrible storm brewing.
The whole office atmosphere is stagnant to the extreme, and even make people feel some depression can not breathe.
Adriana finally couldn’t help herself, got up and walked over, pointed at Harlee and said, “Harlee, why have you become so affectionate now? I remember you were not like this before. I remember that you were not like this before. You were surrounded by women, you were flirtatious, and now you are pretending to be devoted, which is really surprising.”
She stood in front of Harlee, with her back to Old Mr. Soto, and shot a look toward Harlee.
And then, said: “Eliza although many years relationship with you, but the mediocre looks, you are sure that later fetch back will not be tired?”
