“Hayley is my Brenden’s woman, I can’t wait to spoil her, how can I take advantage of her?”
He was like a big brother leaning on the sofa, legs folded, his body exuding an innate nobility.
But it fell on Adriana’s eyes but felt excessively harsh.
“We are all understanding people, there is no need to pretend to be confused. You might as well say what conditions you will let Hayley go?”
“I never forced bullying, and I would never have said the word ‘no’ if she wanted a divorce. The choice was hers, but she didn’t want to go. What can I do?”
Showed his hands and looked a hundred times helpless.
The preference for those words was sarcastic and pissed Adriana off.
“As long as custody is promised to Hayley, she will never have a problem with it either.”
“Are you kidding me, the baby is mine Brenden, who is Hayley to take it away.”
“Not qualified? I have collected the evidence between you and Beatricein my hand, if you insist on not getting a divorce, I will expose the scandal between you and Beatrice and make you lose your reputation.”
The two of them have been trying to collect evidence of Brenden and Beatrice living together since long ago. The evidence that Brenden and Beatrice lived together and had a child, in order to be useful at the critical moment.
“It doesn’t matter, as long as you’re happy.”
He sat up straight, propped his elbows on his knees, and smoked his cigarette down, disdainful of Adriana.
The situation is not frightening and is calm and easy to handle.
Adriana was really helpless.
The fact that Brenden killed his ex-wife Gisselle in front of her shows that he is ruthless and doesn’t care about the slightest threat.
“Well, I hope you really do not care.”
Without saying more, Adriana turned around and left.
The man called out just as the person reached the door to the study, “Stop.”
She stopped and turned back, “Back to your senses?”
“Huh. I, Brenden, have always been a man of my word. Just a word of advice, don’t start a fire, or the consequences of the spillover are not something you can afford.”
“It’s up to me if I can take it on.”
I thought he would change his mind, but I didn’t expect him to be very persistent.
Adriana came downstairs and the maids had dispersed.
Harlee is sitting on the couch with Jenkins and is enlightening a furious Jenkins.
Adriana then waved to Hayley, signaling her to follow her out.
The two walked out of the hall and stood in the courtyard of the villa, Adriana put her hands in the pockets of her suit pants, sighed down and said slowly, “Do you want to leave?”
At least the two grew up together, although the two were at odds when they were very young, but with the passage of time, Adriana also grew up with them.
The past ones have been put aside long ago.
Hayley dropped her head, hands clasped together restrainedly, without squeaking.
“Aren’t you afraid every time he hits you?”
“What’s the use of being afraid, the day must go on.”
She moved to sit down on a hanging chair to the side, looked ahead and said in a serious tone, “No matter what, as long as Leonidas is by my side, it’s fine.”
A woman is weak, but a mother is strong.
Hayley originally thought she loved only money and status, but since having Leonidas, she realized that what she really cared about was children and affection.
Perhaps it was the pain Brenden caused her that taught her to grow.
“I have collected evidence from both Brenden and Beatrice and intend to release it to the media and would like to seek your opinion.”
In the end, it was Hayley’s life that had to be consulted.
Otherwise the exposure of the news will not only discredit Brenden, but also affect Hayley.
Internet spammers must be asking Hayley why she didn’t choose to divorce her husband when she knew he had a mistress and an illegitimate child.
Must have coveted The Alston family’s money to not opt for divorce.
“I’m a lawyer and know a lot of friends who can help you obtain a portion of the property.”
“It’s useless, I signed a prenuptial agreement.”
“Why did you … you sign that?”
Adriana’s questioning in front of her, Hayley smiled bitterly to herself, “I liked him at that time, I wanted to be with him with all my heart, I didn’t think too much at all. Things are hard to predict …”
The last four words lengthened the end and sighed again.
Adriana raised her hand to lift her long hair in front of her forehead and put it behind her ear, pacing in place, very clueless.
“It’s okay, Jenkins can afford you as long as you want. yy law firm has a five-year contract with the Fryer Group, and that money alone can support you, not to mention, me.”
The words fell, Hayley surprised to look at her, nostrils a sour, eyes flooded with dense luster, “you do not even hate me? Adriana, I … always bullied you back then, did not expect you do not care at all.”
People grow up before they mature, and look back on the past to realize how childish what they did was.
“We are a family.”
Adriana said.
Then he added: “The Alston family’s oldest three knees are childless, that is his child, he will not turn a blind eye to it. What’s more, Brenden will not abuse Leonidas for a while, unless he achieves his goal. When that time, Leonidas has no more use, you want to take him away, Brenden will not say anything. Do you understand?”
“I … I …”
Hayley was hesitant and didn’t say anything for a long time.
At that moment, Jenkins came out of the living room with his tattered suit, “Hayley, I’m asking you one last time, are you going back? If you don’t go back, I won’t care about you from now on!”
He deliberately said angry words to force Hayley.
Adriana lamented in her heart that it was good that Jenkins did not know about Leonidas, otherwise she would have really risked her life to fight with Brenden.
“How will we know the outcome if we don’t try? Now Leonidas is The Alston family’s most valued heir, that is, if he mistreats, The Alston family will not sit idly by.”
Harlee, who hadn’t spoken in a long time, opened up to Hayley.
Suddenly, Hayley’s heart was warmed by their care and her indecisive heart was strengthened.
“Okay, I … I’ll try.”
She could only take a step forward with the attitude of trying.
“Come on, come home with me.”
Jenkins walks up to Hayley, wraps an arm around her shoulders and leads her outside.
A few people just walked to the entrance of the district, there was a group of reporters flocked over.
“Ms. Hale, is it true that someone just reported that you were being domestically abused?”
“This gentleman is the owner of YY Law Firm, right? Why are you covered in blood?”
“Mr. Gu, Mr. Alston, why are you all here?”
“Why would Mr. Alston be a domestic abuser?”
…
Adriana stood in front of Hayley and faced the media head-on, “This is the owner of YY Law Firm, Jenkins, who is also Mrs. Alston’s brother. Brenden has repeatedly committed domestic violence during his marriage to Hayley, and has lived with other women and had children. I hope that through the media Brenden can give an explanation.”
“How did you know that the new Mr. Alston was cheatingon you in marriage?”
“I heard you used to have an affair with Brenden too, was it a deliberate means of revenge on your part?”
“Why would Mr. Alston domestic abuse Mrs. Alston when they’ve only been married for six months?”
“Mrs. Alston, would you like to say a few words?”
…
“Sorry, Mrs. Alston is in shock, I hope the media friends will not disturb. I will send the matter about Brenden’s cheating and domestic violence to the email addresses of your newspapers, and I hope you will report the matter with a fair and impartial attitude.”
