“Where are your people?”
She asked rhetorically.
The two people maintain a kind of indifference and detachment on the surface, but there is a familiar sense of intimacy in the underworld.
“All withdrawn.”
Originally Peter had laid everything out and was preparing to leave the yacht, it was time to get rid of Tatum once and for all.
Who knew that just as he was about to leave, Adriana would appear.
And also brought Harlee and Giovanny together, Giovanny is okay, but Harlee is the biggest hidden problem.
Huzzah-
At that moment, Adriana’s cell phone rang.
When I pulled out my cell phone, it was a call from Harlee.
“Harlee, Luis is safely away, where are you now?” Adriana was a little worried.
“Ms. Hale, to see Harlee come to the fourth floor now.”
Peter’s concerns were correct; the Harleys had been captured by Tatum’s men.
After the other party finished, he had already hung up the phone.
Adriana subconsciously looked to Peter, “Harlee, taken by Tatum.”
“I’ll take you up.”
Peter looked at Adriana with a slightly deep and attached look in his eyes, but the moment Adriana raised her eyes to gaze at him, he immediately looked away, “Let’s go.”
Take a step and be the first to walk out of the room.
Adriana watched his back, eyes flashing slightly, hands hanging at his side could not help but curl up and follow.
If it wasn’t for the fear of Luis and Peter, she certainly wouldn’t have defied the odds and gotten on the cruise ship.
It just seems that now she is dragging Peter’s feet.
On the fourth floor, just as the two went up, someone said, “Ms. Hale, Mr. Alston, this way please.”
The man in the suit led them into a large box where Tatum leaned on the sofa and drank tea elegantly, but Harlee was nowhere to be seen.
“Harlee …”
Adriana just walked in and tried to question Tatum about where Harlee was, but Peter raised his hand slightly and cut her off.
The little woman instantly silenced and silently obeyed Peter.
“You’ve just made a deal with Tatum, why are you backtracking now? It’s not like you to go back on your word.”
Peter walked in and sat directly across from Tatum on the couch, gesturing toward Adriana to go over and do it.
Adriana walked over and sat beside him.
Although the two did not say anything, but somehow gave a feeling of peace of mind and a sense of security.
“I’m done with you, and since I can’t make Ms. Hale’s kid pay, I might as well let her brother put an end to it.”
The thing he’s talking about is, naturally, at the wedding, where Theresa was counted out, dragging Tatum down with her and making him the butt of Waverly’s, and the nation’s, joke.
As expected, it was because of what happened at the wedding.
I have to say, Tatum’s action is really fast, the wedding just appeared problems, first immediately began to do.
“Tatum, I don’t understand what you mean?”
Adriana spoke up.
Leaning on the sofa, Tatum, who has a powerful aura, raised his hand slightly, “What does it matter to me if you understand or not? I only look at the results. Now you are given two choices: one, you die; two, Harlee dies.”
In Tatum’s mind, he was already convinced that Adriana was the one who framed him and Theresa, and naturally he would not forgive.
I just didn’t think she would take the initiative to send it to me.
“If you want to move them, you also have to see if I agree. ”
Peter’s face is cold, with the same compelling aura as Tatum.
Highly skilled versus expert, the atmosphere in the large room is a little heavy, even the air has become thin.
If Adriana has not experienced a lot, experienced the nature and mentality, I am afraid will feel afraid.
“Don’t forget the cooperation between us just now.”
Peter added a reminder.
Adriana was a little confused because she didn’t know what Peter had just talked about with Tatum.
“The cooperation just now can only save Luis alone, now it is Adriana and Harlee. two people are not related to you, Mr. Alston does not want to extend his hand too long.”
As far as anyone can see, Adriana and Peter have no connection other than the fact that they have two children.
Peter laughed it off, “One is my child’s mommy and the other is my child’s uncle, how can they be non-relatives?”
“Hahahaha …”
Peter’s words fell, Tatum tilted his head and laughed, his smile unbridled and wild.
“From what Mr. Alston is saying, is he responsible for this?”
“Why should I be responsible? This matter has nothing to do with Adriana.”
“Humph, it’s not up to you to say whether there is a relationship or not. If you don’t give an explanation today, I’m only afraid that none of the four of you will leave the yacht.”
Inside the room, now only Peter and Adriana, she says four people, and it’s clear that the other two she’s talking about are Giovanny and Harlee.
A single Giovanny, Tatum simply can not help, so the biggest bargaining chip is Adriana and Harlee.
Because the weakest strength here is the two of them.
“In that case, it would be more valuable to let Adriana and the others go first and leave me alone. Isn’t it?”
Peter asked rhetorically.
Tatum’s eyes narrowed slightly and his gaze slowly fell on Adriana’s body, “Ms. Hale, what do you think?”
Adriana didn’t say anything for a long time.
At this moment, even if she wanted to explain, it would not help.
In Tatum’s mind, she had already decided that she had done it, and even if she had a hundred mouths, she could not explain it.
“Since Mr. Alston likes to heroically save the beauty, I am naturally willing to be an adult.”
Adriana is a smart person, from just Peter’s reaction to those already know that Peter is very confident.
And she and Harlee here will inevitably become a burden to him, in that case, it is better to withdraw earlier, so that Peter can easily solve everything.
In his heart, he secretly felt that he had misplaced Peter’s plan.
In the end, it was a bit presumptuous and should have trusted him.
Only very often emotion can make people lose their reason and the most basic judgment, which is why they are too worried about Peter, so that immediately after hearing the sound on board.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll get Peter killed?”
He asked rhetorically.
Adriana raised an eyebrow, pretending to look at Peter indifferently, “Mr. Alston likes to be brave, I naturally adult. Besides, if people don’t do it for themselves, it’s better for him to die than for me to die.”
After saying that, he laughed, “The Alston family has at least a few more uses for the East family. So, please Tatum let Harlee go and let us go ahead.”
Although the little woman’s words made sense, they fell on Peter’s ears with some disappointment.
His dark, ink-like pupils flashed with a hint of starburst, and his bright eyes instantly dulled.
“Kind of interesting.”
Tatum laughed, “In that case, all the more reason I can’t let you go.”
Fingers tapping on the table, a cold smile, and then said, “In a short while, the cruise ship will reach the high seas, and then, none of you will be able to leave.”
Tatum let out a harsh word, with a ruthless look in his eyes.
“Is that so? Who will win and who will lose is especially unknown, Tatum is not too confident.”
Peter laughed coldly, “You might want to walk out and look outside, before considering the rest.”
