As a result, Tiana ends up consolidating her position in the Griffin family, while Peter has a child with someone he doesn’t know.
The ‘unknown person’ is naturally Adriana.
In the end, Tiana is also a woman with a hard life.
Because of an inheritance, she sacrificed her youth, raised a girl as a boy, and lost the man of her choice.
For a while, Adriana felt that Tiana was not so hateful.
Adriana had no comment on the matter.
After the meal, the two raised their glasses to drink and Adriana asked, “Ms. Griffin you …”
“Call me Brother Wreck, that’s what they call me.”
“Brother Wreck?”
Adriana raised an eyebrow, “The name calling is quite fitting for your status.”
“Is that so? That name has been with me for 25 years, and in order to change the name, I purposely grew my hair long and let myself live as a sophisticated woman. I realized that once some labels are attached to me, it’s really hard to take them off.”
“Just living a great life is the best.”
“That makes sense.”
Tiana pursed her lips and raised her glass and clinked it with Adriana.
They each took a sip of wine, she put down her glass and said, “I called you over today because I want to talk to you about Peter.”
“I would like to hear more about it.”
“Because of you, Peter hurt Tatum, and the story is all over the place now.”
When Tiana finished, she stopped talking and looked at Adriana.
“That’s Tatum’s fault. He shouldn’t have touched Luis, he is the heir of The Alston family, not Tatum can touch him at will?”
“Even if it wasn’t Luis, it would have been you, and Peter wouldn’t have sat idly by.”
“Yes.”
Adriana doesn’t deny it.
She held the red wine, gently shook the wine, wrinkled her eyebrows and asked, “You know Peter’s condition very well, his days were numbered before, why does it look like he’s still in good health now?”
It’s something Adriana has always been curious about.
Since Tiana was here, she naturally wanted to get information from Tiana.
“Raul, Atror’s very powerful old herbalist, stepped in to help Peter, but I’m told it only suppressed the attack and prolonged it a bit. But Raul died a few days ago.”
“Dead?”
Adriana’s hand holding the goblet tightened slightly and her face sank a few shades.
Raul had just helped Peter get his condition under control, and only a few days later he was dead?
Something Adriana had heard about and it was mentioned in the circle that it was murdered.
Now it seems things may have some connection to Peter.
To be precise, it is because Raul stepped in to save Peter and touched some people’s interests.
“I came over here today to tell you that Peter moved Tatum and messed with several of Atror’s major families, and I can stay out of the way, but I can’t stop things from happening. You’d better be a bit prepared.”
Tiana stated the claim directly.
Adriana, who was lowering her eyebrows in thought, abruptly raised her eyelids and gazed at the woman across the table in surprise, “Why did you come to see me?”
“Because you will help her.”
“And what am I with you, an ally? Or a one-time partnership?”
Adriana asked rhetorically.
Tiana laughed, picked up the bottle and poured a glass of wine for himself, “Still the enemy, the next time we meet will not be polite with you.”
Her words provoked a smile from Adriana and she did not reply.
The two reached out, goblets gently clinked together with a crisp sound, each looked at the other and drained their glasses of wine.
“Let’s go.”
Tiana put down her cup, got up and picked up her bag and walked away.
As the compartment door closed, Adriana breathed a long sigh of relief and leaned back on the card seat, looking out the window with her arms around her chest, and fell into a moment of deep thought.
Tatum’s identity is not that simple, and now Peter has injured Tatum and provoked the most powerful family in Atror.
A storm is coming as the storm rises again.
Adriana didn’t know what she was about to face, but she was really worried about Peter.
Even though the man’s days are numbered, she doesn’t want to see him suffer any harm.
Besides, she understands the truth that her lips are dead and her teeth are cold.
If something happens to Peter, it will be Luis and Helen who will suffer, and she will not be any better.
After leaving the Pinnacleaid Building, Adriana went back to the office, met with some businessmen in the afternoon, talked about business, and when she came back it was late.
Dealing with the paperwork at hand, she was exhausted.
When I had time, I swiped my phone and saw What’s App.
It’s Raylan’s.
Are you free tonight to have dinner together?
[I’m a little tired and want to rest. Some other time.]
Adriana refused.
At the same time.
The Alston family villa.
A stylishly dressed, tall, extremely well maintained woman wearing a black beret, with a black trench coat, especially highlighting the temperament.
Walked to the villa door and rang the doorbell.
Not long after a maid came over, “Hello, may I ask you?”
“My name is Daisy, please inform Brenden that I want to see him.”
A strong tone, not a pleading attitude.
The maid has been in The Alston family for a long time and is used to seeing all kinds of people, so she only knew at a glance that the person in front of her had a Rex temperament and estimated that her identity was not simple.
Immediately said, “Please wait a moment.”
The maid turned around and went into the villa.
Daisy stood at the door for a while, idly looking at her phone, and found a voice message from Adriana.
“Daisy, are you done yet? Are you free tonight, do you want to drink together?”
The message was that Adriana had declined Raylan’s invitation, but was in an overly irritable mood, so she approached Daisy and wanted to have a drink together.
A drunkenness relieves a thousand sorrows.
“I’ve been busy lately, I’ll contact you when I’m free.”
Daisy sent a voice message back to Adriana.
Just as the message was sent, the villa’s maid came in and opened the carved iron door, “Madam, please come in, Mr. Alston is waiting for you in the living room.”
“Thanks.”
Daisy sincerely thanked him and walked into the living room with an elegant stride.
Brenden, sitting on the sofa, glanced up at the person who entered, a little unfamiliar.
Without waiting for him to speak, Daisy spoke directly, “I have some personal matters to discuss with Mr. Alston, I wonder if it is convenient?”
An intuition, the person in front of him clearly has a familiar feeling, but that a face he has not seen before.
“All go down.”
Brenden waved his hand, signaling the servants to get out.
The living room door closed, leaving only two people.
Brenden sat on the couch, maintaining the usual high profile of the higher power.
Daisy didn’t care and walked up to him, “Don’t you think I look familiar?”
“Are you …?”
Brenden frowned sadly, his eyes fixed on the woman in front of him, unblinking.
But the woman raised her hand, fingers touched her chin, then uncovered a layer … of human skin mask to reveal her true face.
At that moment, Brenden jumped up from the sofa in a flash, “actually … actually you?”
He was so frightened that his face turned pale and his soul nearly flew away.
The wide pupils were enough to show his shock and amazement.
Daisy lifted her hand and tossed her long hair behind her ear, saying in her own voice, “It’s been years since I’ve seen you, but it’s been a comfortable life.”
