There was some confusion in Adriana’s mind, not understanding Ruth and Archie’s identities.
There was some speculation before, then now it is more suspicious of two people.
One is the third most wimpy member of The Alston family and the other is the young master of Obren.
One is fearful and useless in front of people, and one is mysterious and unpredictable, missing for no reason for twenty years.
Now both show up and then tell them the truth about everything.
Not to mention Harlee, even Adriana had trouble accepting the status quo.
“What your mother means is for you to take over the CG Group, and then all of the sixty percent of shares she owns will be transferred to the two of you.”
He paraphrased Ruth’s words.
“Adriana, why are you so unproductive?”
Harlee glanced at Adriana and thought she was really too out of it.
The money was tempting, but Harlee wasn’t interested and didn’t care.
He prefers the life he has now, with Eliza two people calmly together, comfortable and beautiful, make people feel happy life is his biggest luxury and like.
“Out of breath?”
Adriana looked at the contract in her hand and smiled, “I want to excel, but I haven’t so far.”
She is different from Harlee.
Harlee is now married and has a child, and soon Eliza will give birth. When the time comes, the three of them will spend their lives comfortably at Preynia Mountain, and they will be happy even if they are the simplest of people.
But what about Adriana?
Adriana knows what she is carrying.
Over the course of six months, Old Mr. Soto met with her countless times to talk about many things, in conjunction with the people that Obren had left.
There are also many things that she needs to handle personally.
Not only Obren, but also Ruth, Peter and the entire Alston family need her to protect.
Even if Harlee lives a life of mediocrity later, Adriana will be there to protect them.
After all, ‘sacrificing’ one is also a sacrifice, so why not ‘sacrifice’ her alone to protect everyone?
“Brother, you like freedom, but I like money. How good is it to have money? Money can make the devil push the mill, I just like this feeling.”
She said to Harlee with a smile.
The bemused look on his face when he spoke provoked Harlee’s great dislike.
He frowned and took Adriana’s wrist, clutching it tightly, “Can you be a little fucking brilliant, huh? Just a little money to fool you? Have you forgotten how much you have suffered for so many years, how much you have suffered? Now they give you that little money, and you are willing to accept them?”
“Or what?”
Adriana shrugged off Harlee, “What you want out of life is your choice, how I want to live the rest of my life is my choice, we are not the same.”
Yes, it’s not the same.
Because Adriana has too much on her shoulders.
Many times she felt aggrieved, why would that Obren’s young master be her?
She’s just a mediocre woman.
Harlee stared directly at Adriana, her brow wrinkled and knitted, her face very difficult.
Eventually, he got up and left in anger.
“Harlee? Harlee?”
Archie called out a few times, but Harlee left without looking back.
Bang–
The study door was heavily thrown shut with such force that even the entire study trembled.
Adriana took it in stride, still looking at the equity transfer agreement in her hands, “Where is the company?”
“The company is in Floedan, but you can find a place in Waverly and move the main office here, which will also make it easier for you to take care of the Soto family.”
Archie looked at Adriana and sighed, “Harlee is not as calm as you are after all. If he …”
Snapping-
Before he finished speaking, Adriana dropped the contract in her hand on the table and looked at Archie with her arms around her chest, “Calm? Heh, is composure appropriate in this matter. I agreed to accept CG Group means calm? I just need CG Group, don’t think too much about it.”
Adriana now has many compelling reasons.
Being in a trap and in crisis everywhere, she must be careful, otherwise what awaits her may be the abyss of doom.
It has been a long time since I last saw Adriana, but Archie feels that she has grown up quickly and makes a difference every time we meet.
Being disliked by her own daughter in such an unforgiving manner, Archie did not feel very angry, but rather had a frank posture.
With a slight jaw, he couldn’t help but smile, “Yes, it’s your mother and I who didn’t do enough to put you and Harlee through too much.”
“I trouble you to ask Ruth the next time you see her why she left without saying goodbye and why she is so devoid of any sense of responsibility?”
Adriana was already angry, but didn’t show it too obviously.
She was vaguely angry, “Since you have no intention of being competent parents, then don’t ask too much from us.”
Adriana got up and glanced at the bank cards and contracts on the table, “I will take care of CG Group for you, but I will only take what I deserve, and I won’t take the rest.”
She didn’t know if Harlee was short of money, but Adriana really wasn’t.
With Waverly’s YA Law Firm, the Hale Cobb Law Firm in Los Angeles, and the live streaming company she invested in with Alvin, she can’t use all that income.
She figured out that if the Soto family divided their property, Adriana would not embezzle a single cent, including the game company she found someone to create would also be returned to the Soto family.
Since the Soto family’s money was used to invest in the company, it is still the property of the Soto family.
Adriana finished, turned around and walked straight away.
As the study door closed, Archie raised his hand and rubbed his temples, feeling doubly exhausted.
Two children angry or angry, ultimately he and Ruth did not do the right thing, can not blame the two children.
Downstairs.
Adriana had just come downstairs when she saw Harlee sitting downstairs in the living room, crossing her legs and playing with her phone, not knowing what she was playing.
She looked again at the person sitting on the couch, and realized that Grandpa Soto was sitting on the couch, so she must have something to order.
Adriana had just come downstairs and Archie followed.
He just didn’t look good.
Walked straight up to Old Mr. Soto and said, “Old Mr. Soto, The Alston family still has some business, so I’ll leave you to it. Good-bye.”
“Hmm.”
Old Mr. Soto got up, gave a slight jaw, and instructed the houseboy standing at the entrance of the hall, “Old Qin, give Mr. Alston a ride.”
“Yes.”
The houseboy escorted Archie away.
A few uncles over there fell on Adriana and Harlee’s uncanny eyes and asked the old man in disbelief.
“Dad, haven’t you always been at odds with The Alston family?”
“What was Archie’s business in coming over today?”
“And what is his relationship with Adriana and Harlee?”
“These two wouldn’t be spies for The Alston family, would they?”
…
Several uncles were very suspicious of Adriana and Harlee.
“Since everyone is here today, let’s talk about the division of property.”
Old Mr. Soto evaded their question directly and waved towards Adriana and Harlee, “What are you two doing so far away? Sit over here for me.”
