Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 107

"Sure."

Her answer was straightforward.

After all, it was now in Los Angeles and she could have gone straight to Helen if she had had time off.

Her daughter.

It had been a long time since we had met, and Adriana felt that her heart was thumping uncontrollably, and her nervousness was unspeakable.

In the evening, went back to the hotel.

Driving all afternoon, Adriana was really tired to waste seemingly.

When I got into the hotel, I fell straight into bed and drifted off to sleep after only a short while.

Knock Knock-

At some point, there was a knock on the door.

Adriana woke up from her sleep and rubbed her sleepy eyes to find that the sun was setting outside.

Get up, walk to the door and open the door to the room.

Raise your eyes to meet Peter's dark, ink-like face.

With a cold face, he said in a deep voice, "Are you a pig? Can't hear the knock on the door and can't hear the call?"

This damn woman, what an underestimation of her ability to sleep.

Adriana smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, fell asleep."

She doesn't know how she slept until now, not to mention that she slept for a long time on the plane in the morning.

"It's time to eat."

The man coldly dropped a sentence and left.

Adriana was doubly speechless and had to follow with her phone and bag.

The two of them went to a western restaurant and ordered some random meals.

During the meal, Peter asked, "Where is your company?"

"What company?"

Adriana froze, not understanding.

"I said your law firm."

"Oh. What for?"

When asked about the firm, Adriana couldn't help but think of the law firm in Waverly that lost to Peter, and didn't want to tell him that much.

A wary look, as if really worried that Peter will personally destroy her company seems to be.

"I'll check it out tomorrow when I'm done."

Peter didn't care about her defensive expression, or rather, disdain.

"What are you doing there? There's nothing to see."

Adriana put down the fork in her hand and refused instantly.

Inexplicably, I have to visit her company and always feel that there is something fishy.

"What are you nervous about, can't there be any unseen secrets?"

Peter picked up the red wine, swirling the crimson colored liquid in the glass and took a sip, "Since I want to enter The Alston family, it is my duty to investigate you."

Adriana looked at him in a daze, pulled the lips, half can not say a long time to say a reason.

Solely bowing his head, he continued to eat.

After another moment, she finally ventured, "If you want to investigate me, that's Brenden's business too, not yours."

It is not known whether Peter will have any conspiratorial purpose, but whatever the purpose is, it has to be nipped in the bud.

"As a member of The Alston family, it's a given that I know the truth about you." His attitude was strong and unquestionable.

"Is that so?"

She sat up straighter, her gaze faded, "Didn't Mr. Alston already investigate me a long time ago? What is the intention of investigating again now?"

There was a huge shift in attitude between the two because the topic was not right.

The atmosphere seemed a bit condensed.

"What is the intention?"

The man's thick ink sword eyebrows rose slightly, "This, I should ask you."

Adriana held her spoon, scooped up a spoonful of soup, took a sip, and put it down, "Words are not enough. mr. Alston, it's after hours, so I'll leave you to it."

Get up, carry your bag and go.

"If you don't want to transfer, go ahead."
