This is life!
“No matter what choice you make, I hope you will learn to protect yourself. If you can’t, install a monitor in your home and directly expose Brenden’s behavior when the time comes. It may not always be effective, but it will at least count as a warning. Just don’t push him too far. That kind of scum, when pushed he will really jump to the wall.”
She saw Brenden kill her ex-wife back then, right there in the hospital.
Watching a fresh life disappear in his hands.
The fear of that moment is still fresh in my mind.
“I know.”
Hayley had no choice either.
“It’s late, I’ll go back first.”
Adriana leaves the hospital and comes downstairs to see Hayley holding Leonidas playing in the hospital courtyard.
One big and one small, playful, is so beautiful, but precious.
Adriana watched for a while and eventually couldn’t bear to bother Jenkins, but got in her car and left.
She left with a car trailing behind her.
Now things happen attitude, Adriana has become careful and cautious, so that the car behind the tracking, Adriana found early in the morning.
Walking to a place where there was little traffic, she stopped her car, walked to the car behind her and knocked on the window glass.
The window glass was lowered to reveal Peter’s handsome and handsome but slightly haggard face.
“Mr. Alston, are you a stalker? Stalking me all the time, what do you mean?”
She really couldn’t figure out what was wrong with Peter.
Earlier Raylan told her that Peter was dying, that his days were numbered, and that he had left the country.
How come you look good now and are still in the country?
Only she wasn’t interested in Peter and didn’t bother to ask about it.
“Just passing through.”
Peter spared four words and then instructed Hank, “Let’s go.”
The limo goes around Adriana’s car in front of it and leaves.
Adriana looked at the car that had left in the dust and cursed, “Nuts.”
Got into his car and was long exhausted by the time he got home.
Finding that Vivian had gone back to her room to sleep, she could not bear to disturb it.
Go to your room by yourself, wash up and lie down on the bed to rest.
Because Eliza and Harlee two people finally get married, probably now where love and entanglement it.
Naturally, she will not ask too much.
Instead, she lay in bed, sleepless, turned on the computer and tried to work, but could not get into it.
She was a little sleepy after not sleeping all night yesterday, but lying in bed she just couldn’t sleep.
Sometimes the two children come to mind, sometimes Peter’s face comes to mind, sometimes Raylan …
The chaos and confusion of her thoughts tormented her a bit.
Very late in the evening, she received a message from Harlee telling her that Eliza had slept over at his place and would not be going back to her house to sleep.
Adriana simply replied with one word – good.
After lying in bed for a long time, she sat up and took her phone and looked at the information she had taken earlier, looking over and over.
I was thinking about how to deal with Old Mr. Soto and how to find out who I really am.
Eventually, the direction fell on Thelma’s body.
She took her in and should have had the most to say.
Adriana gave Harlee a call.
After the call was answered, she asked, “When you … remembered to send me some dessert tomorrow morning, the one you delivered before was a good dessert.”
She wanted to ask Harlee if Thelma had been paid by them to tell lies in the first place.
But on second thought, he worried that Old Mr. Soto had tapped Harlee’s phone.
She didn’t squeal again.
“Talking about this in the middle of the night?”
“Nonsense, you are romantic with other women and I can’t be a light bulb.”
She deliberately teased, “Bye!”
Hang up the phone and lie down on the bed for a while.
Tossing and turning, Adriana couldn’t sleep and finally drank some wine before she could sleep.
…
Meanwhile, Orchard House.
Peter was working in the study, and Jimmy was standing by, also working with his head in the sand.
“How’s the company going, is it going smoothly now?”
Peter asked.
“Not bad. But I’m just the director of sales, an empty position with a vain name, what can I do.”
Brenden has long since hollowed out his power and can’t get involved in anything more.
“There’s no rush.”
Everything was expected of Peter, and then he said, “Theresa is getting married, to Tatum.”
“With Tatum?”
Jimmy was a little surprised to learn the news, and more than a little sad.
A woman whose heart is in love with him is now marrying Tatum, which is a bit unacceptable no matter what.
The eyes wavered, then pretended to be relaxed, “A woman who has been abandoned twice, it is good to be married off.”
Between the lines, it’s clear that Peter is complaining.
Peter’s pupils shimmered with a ghostly light and did not answer the question.
“Here are the important documents collected from the top management of the company, and I want you to meet with them one by one.”
Peter placed the thick bag of documents in front of Jimmy’s face.
Jimmy didn’t say anything, just picked up the file bag, opened it and took a look, his face sank and he pushed it aside, “Sorry, I’m not good at threatening people.”
In his eyes, holding someone’s hand is a despicable tactic.
He has a noble spirit in his bones, he will not use such tactics?
“You’re still too young.”
Peter shook his head with emotion and added, “That’s an order.”
“Forgive me for not being able to comply.”
He said four words with disdain.
Peter swept his gaze blandly, continued to look down at the documents on the desktop, “The means, although despicable, but also a way to protect yourself, unless you have other means in the special times at the moment.”
He sighed and said at length, “There’s more than just you at home, there’s Mom and Sloane, and even Luis and Helen can’t leave you as a young uncle to take care of them when I’m not around. Understand?”
Peter knows that his days are numbered and the only thing he wants to do now is to get Jimmy on the road so that he can leave with peace of mind.
The young and frivolous Jimmy looked aside, his tongue arched his cheek, and snorted: “Don’t always take these things, there are many ways to protect a person, and not only this despicable means to have better results.”
“Okay, then I’ll give you a month to prove it to me with practical actions.”
“I will convince you!”
Jimmy dropped a line and turned around and walked away with the stubbornness of a teenager.
Perhaps it is too easy to live under the shelter of Peter for many years, but let him forget the world is dangerous.
He left on the first foot and Hank came in on the second.
Walked up to Peter to report the situation, “Leonidas injury, as well as Leonidas with Uncle Five’s DNA identification, the old man looked, but there was no reaction. However, according to our people’s observation, the old man sighed at the time and went back to his room. I feel that the old man should know the truth. In accordance with Brenden’s usual tactics, it is likely that he also holds the handle of the old master.”
“Check it out, including Uncle Five.”
“Yes.”
