At her words, Brenden laughed.
He folded his legs, one hand on the knee, one hand on the desktop, fingers tapping on the desktop, as if in thought.
“What an arrogant tone, where do you get the confidence that I will definitely say yes to you?”
“I don’t know if you promise or not. But if you don’t agree, there’s no point in talking between us. In ten minutes, I will publish your recording once again and send you to the headlines. However, you can rest assured that we have known each other for so many years, I will not ask you for any promotion fee.”
Adriana seems to be in a good mood and has the leisure to joke with him.
“You’re threatening me?”
Brenden smiled contemptuously, “Do you know that Peter is going to die? If you offend me, I can crush Peter like an ant, and then your two children will have no father.”
Mention Peter.
“Is that so? What does it matter to me? Even if you killed him, I wouldn’t be heartbroken.”
I said I wouldn’t be heartbroken, but I don’t know why.
Her heart still jerked with a vague pain.
“You really don’t remember Peter?”
Brenden’s eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that Adriana had done a memory seal, but I didn’t expect her to remember anything about Peter.
“Mr. Alston, you’re off topic.”
Raising his wrist, he looked at his wristwatch time, “I have limited time, I’ll give you ten minutes.”
“I can only promise you one thing. Resume the partnership with YY Law Firm.”
“OK, then take your time.”
She got up and was about to leave.
“Wait.”
Brenden has some headache, follow the matters that Gia has just advised him, consider for a long time, then said: “Okay, I promise you, and Hayley divorce, Leonidas to her custody. However, I have certain visitation rights, placed in compensation, it does not matter, I do not need that little money. But, about Rex’s matter, I’m afraid you can’t make the decision.”
Adriana doesn’t know what Brenden is really capable of.
Although Brenden is willing to divorce Hayley, but if one day Brenden needs to use Hayley, I’m afraid the sky is the limit to find Hayley.
In any case, it is better to return home with less domestic violence than to be bullied with Brenden.
“Let me ask you, what exactly is the conspiracy between the two of you and Rex?”
Adriana asked.
“I say again, that’s between me and Rex. I’ve already made a big concession when I could agree to resume your partnership with YY Law Firm and divorce Hayley, don’t be ungrateful.”
Adriana looks down and frowns in deep thought.
A moment later, said, “Deal.”
“Bring it.”
He spread his hands and hooked his fingers.
“What?”
“Nonsense, of course it’s a recording.”
“OK.”
Adriana then drew up the agreement and after the two signed, Brenden had Hayley and Jenkins released.
Immediately, the group went to the Civil Affairs Bureau and waited for Hayley at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Brenden signed divorce papers and child custody issues with Hayley, as well as compensation matters.
Once everything was settled, Brenden signed another five-year partnership with YY Law Firm.
At this point, Adriana’s purpose is achieved.
She just handed the USB to Brenden.
Brenden clutched the USB tightly and glared at Adriana with cold eyes, “Adriana, better not have a handle in my hands, or I will make your life worse than death.”
“That’s a shame.”
Adriana raised an eyebrow and smiled, quite a superior smugness.
Brenden and Jaime left YY Law Firm and in the elevator, Jaime asked, “Mr. Alston, that woman Adriana is too arrogant, why don’t you just kill her? That way you don’t have to have people fighting against you every day.”
The question fell and Brenden did not answer.
It was a while before he said, “Adriana, she can’t die.”
Not only can’t you die, but you have a great use for it.
“Why?”
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.”
Brenden spoke in a cold voice.
Jaime was puzzled and did not dare to ask more questions.
At this time, the people of YY Law Firm upstairs are all happy, turning a crisis into a peace of mind, everyone is immersed in joy.
Hayley held Leonidas in her arms and looked to Adriana and Jenkins, “Brother, Adriana, thank you, thank you so much.”
As he spoke, tears came to his eyes.
The child was baffled and looked at her with bewildered eyes, “Mommy, don’t cry …”
Hayley was amused by the little child, took him into his arms, which now is crying more fiercely.
Jenkins stood in front of Adriana, looked at her and sighed, “It’s been a few years, I didn’t think you’d be the one to protect me in the end. Brother, useless, too useless.”
Guilt and remorse, always feeling ashamed to face Adriana.
“What a lot of nonsense. Just run your law firm well and expand into other businesses. After all, your firm mainly deals with large companies. If I’m not at the Soto one day, and the Alston Group breaks up with you, then those small firms will follow suit and cancel their cooperation, and your firm will be completely collapsed. Understand?”
Adriana is well aware of Brenden’s tactics.
An unreliable man, do not delude yourself into thinking that he will really work with YY Law Firm for five years.
And she is not even a descendant of the Soto, sooner or later she will leave the Soto, and at that time, the Soto Group will also cancel its cooperation with YY Law Firm.
By that time, YY Law Firm would have no choice but to close its doors.
“I’ll think about it.”
Jenkins nodded, then said, “Our family is safe and sound, why don’t we go home together tonight and have a reunion dinner?”
He looked to Adriana for Adriana’s opinion.
“I …”
The little woman hesitated for a moment and waved her hand to refuse, “No, the company still has a lot of things to deal with. Let’s talk about it when we have time.”
Hardly ever sit down to a meal with Thelma in peace.
Adriana didn’t want to face that awkward atmosphere either.
As long as they Rene unharmed is the best.
“Really not going back?”
Hayley wiped the tears on his cheeks, “I was bad before, always fighting with you, my mother … no, our mother is that virtuous. The most important thing is that you can’t be sure that you’re going to be able to get the most out of your life. The actual family really has not been together for many years. Mom, now also old, the body is not as good as before, although the mouth does not say, it is estimated that the heart also misses you.”
In a flash, ten years.
After Jenkins’ treatment, Adriana left the country with a vengeance and has hardly been back since.
Ten years can change a lot.
The Hale family is where it is now, and it’s all because of Adriana.
That said, Adriana is also a benefactor.
“No really, I do have something going on at work.”
“That’s fine, when you have time, I’ll make dumplings at home with mom and wait for you to return.”
“Good.”
Adriana smiled with relief, feeling happy at the moment.
Hayley walked up to Adriana, pursed her lips, squirmed half-heartedly, and asked, “Can I … hug you for a second?”
“Hmm? Uh … huh, sure.”
After she finished speaking, Hayley gave a big hug, Adriana’s hand hanging at her side stiffened. Adriana’s hand stiffened at her side, but finally lifted it and hugged Hayley, “Congratulations on your freedom.”
