He turned his head and walked away with a childlike caprice.
“Stand still!”
Old Mr. Soto yelled, “You two have made the office look like a dump, don’t leave until you clean it up for me!”
It’s really not like that, look what the office has become.
Rex glanced at the mess of papers and scattered things on the floor and frowned, “I’ll ask housekeeping to clean it up later.”
“I told you to clean up with Harlee and you can’t understand human language?”
A roar, interspersed with anger.
Rex bristled, glowered at Old Mr. Soto, and finally reluctantly bowed his head and began to gather his papers.
Harlee couldn’t stand by and started cleaning up with him.
“I heard that you were the one who removed the people Harlee had placed in The Hale family neighborhood?”
Seeing that the two were dutifully packing up, Old Mr. Soto didn’t stay idle and interrogated Rex one after another.
From the beginning to the present, Old Mr. Soto obviously target Rex at every turn, Adriana and Harlee see in the eyes.
The two men looked at each other, both holding doubts and uncertainties.
“Yes.”
Rex wanted to deny it, but didn’t feel the need to.
“Why?”
“No reason. Those people are your people, Grandpa, and Harlee has no right to dictate what she wants!”
He felt in his heart of hearts that Harlee was not qualified to move anyone from the Soto family.
Even if it is an underling.
“I will investigate things properly. You better not have any entanglement with Brenden, or I’ll break your dog’s legs!”
Old Mr. Soto grunted and slapped the tabletop in warning.
The eyes of Rex, who was squatting on the floor and packing up his things, flickered slightly and did not speak for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking alone.
“Adriana, come out here with me.”
Old Mr. Soto waved toward Adriana, turned and walked out.
Adriana, sitting on the couch, subconsciously looked at Harlee, thoughtfully, got up and walked out.
In the hallway outside the office, Adriana walked up to him, “What is it?”
Perhaps because of the stereotype of the old man, her attitude has not been very friendly.
“I know all about it, and I just taught that kid Rex a lesson. As for his affair with Brenden I will investigate it properly. The Soto family has FE people, but unfortunately the number is limited, I will arrange a few people for you to use later.”
Old Mr. Soto looked at Adriana with a calm tone, giving a kind and benevolent feeling.
“Reason?”
The sudden initiative to arrange FE people for her to use flattered Adriana, and even felt there was a conspiracy.
“To use or not to use?”
Instead of waiting for an explanation, he waited for Old Mr. Soto to lose his temper.
Adriana raised an eyebrow, naturally not refusing, “Good. Thanks.”
It’s not clear what Old Mr. Soto’s plans are for her and Harlee, but it’s more or less safe to have FE’s around.
How could she be foolish enough to refuse.
“Rex has been spoiled since he was a child, so you and Harlee should not take it personally with him. You have to remember that you are brother and sister, you must take good care of each other.”
After a moment’s silence, Old Mr. Soto gave a long sigh, said something that eluded Adriana, and left.
Turning back, gazing at the old man’s back, Adriana fell into deep thought.
Since being brought back into the Soto family, Old Mr. Soto has rarely been so gentle and kind to her.
Now it was handed over to her FE’s again, and she was instructed to get a good brother-sister relationship, which for a while made Adriana self-doubt the authenticity of the information she had investigated before.
If the DNA test results did not show that she is not related to the Soto family, I am afraid I would really think that she is the heir of the Soto family.
After thinking about it for a while and not getting results, Adriana didn’t bother to think about it.
Back in the office, the mess on the floor was almost cleaned up.
When Rex noticed Adriana coming in alone, he went to the office door and glanced at it. When he didn’t find Old Mr. Soto, he knew that the person had left.
“Ch, what the hell, let Laozi pack up, you are also worthy!”
He snorted lightly with disdain, flung the information in his hands on the ground with a whimper, and set off.
The dude’s arrogant look really made Adriana look bad, but didn’t bother to talk to him.
Called Secretary General Rene, who came into the office and asked, “Ms. Hale, what can I do for you?”
“Tell someone to clean up the office and get what you need to get.”
After the command, Adriana said to Harlee, “Stop packing and come out with me.”
The two made the elevator straight to the basement and got into Adriana’s car.
Inside the car, Adriana inclined her head to look at Harlee, “Just now Old Mr. Soto told me to arrange a few FE’s for me to use. What do you think about this?”
Nothing is adultery or theft.
Adriana always had doubts in her mind about Old Mr. Soto and did not dare to trust him easily.
“He said it himself?”
“Hmm.”
“What else did it say?”
“It says that you and I and Rex are brother and sister and must take good care of each other.”
“Phew~ very elder tone.”
Harlee breathed a long sigh of relief, “If we are not related to the Soto family, why would grandpa give you FE people? You know, I have been in the Soto family for one or two decades, and the Soto family has never given me anything but money.”
Compared to Adriana, he suddenly felt some heartache for himself.
“Come on, I don’t think it’s a good thing.”
Adriana leaned back in her car seat, closed her eyes and reached up to rub her temples, “Conspiracy.”
It’s full of intrigue.
Harlee didn’t answer.
He didn’t know what to say, as long as he remembered what Old Mr. Soto said, that Adriana’s body was still poisoned and not lifted, he felt that his grandfather was deep in his mind.
I really don’t understand what my grandfather wants to do.
At that moment, Adriana’s phone rang.
It’s Thelma’s.
Adriana answered the phone and Thelma’s cries rang out on the other side, “How’s it going, did you find the person?”
“Don’t you worry, Hayley and Jenkins are fine now. They still have use for Brenden, and no harm will come to them.”
“Oooh … how could I not be worried, it’s my child. Whoops …”
The people there began to cry loudly again, Adriana’s brain hurt, “My people are mixed among Brenden’s people, protecting in the shadows. Now you’re relieved, right?”
In order to calm Thelma down and keep her from making a scene, Adriana had to tell a good-natured lie.
“Really?”
“Hmm.”
“Fine, fine, as long as they’re both okay, oooh …”
The person on the other end had no words of thanks and simply hung up the phone.
Adriana put away her phone, and Harlee both began to talk about the recent events, analyzing them one by one, but in the end could not find a reasonable explanation.
I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to get the job done.
“By the way, I heard that Raylan has been having a hard time lately, you … still should not stand by.”
Harlee kindly reminded.
“What’s wrong?”
“Check it out yourself, don’t ask me about everything.” Harlee raised an eyebrow, “Come on, I have to go to the Soto headquarters.”
He got out of the car, then got into his own car and drove away.
Left alone, Adriana sat in her car in silence for a long time and went to YY Law Firm.
