Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 257

"Okay, I ......"

She opened her mouth to speak, and Adriana put up her arms and crossed them together, signaling her to stop talking.

Flora grinned and had an extremely nice smile.

Walked out of the office and closed the door.

There was not a small sparrow around constantly chattering, suddenly quiet a lot, she sat on the seat and began to look at the file, but for a long time could not concentrate.

My mind kept recalling what Peter said, and my emotions were awful.

Knock Knock-

Adriana was busy in the office for a while when there was a knock on the office door and someone pushed in, "Ms. Hale, Mrs. Alston is here."

Vivian walked in and said.

"Let her in."

Adriana hesitated for a moment, but then she realized what Mrs. Alston was doing here.

There is always no escaping the meeting and accountability, so we can only face it honestly.

Vivian's eyes were a little uneasy, and she withdrew with a grimace. Mrs. Alston came in, and Vivian closed the door and stood outside.

"Auntie, what brings you here?"

Adriana adjusted her mind, kept a light smile, and motioned for Mrs. Alston to be seated. In turn, she went to pour her a cup of tea and handed it to her.

But the tea in her hand was sent out, Mrs. Alston did not take it at all, but only stretched out his hand, his right hand playing with the nails of his left hand, the gesture leisurely, vaguely revealing the disdain and contempt for her.

Adriana wasn't offended and placed her teacup on the table, stood across from her and asked, "Auntie has something to say."

She has never been one to beat around the bush, let alone to run away from it.

"You're straightforward."

Mrs. Alston looked up and down at Adriana as if she were looking at a closet item, "I'm curious what Peter sees in you that he has to be with you. Is it really just because you're the mother of a child?"

She shook her head to herself, as if talking to herself, and added, "Not so."

Adriana stood respectfully and did not say a word.

The two of them have been at odds with each other since you came along. But since you appeared, the two siblings have turned against each other. The world always says that the beauty of a woman is a curse, today I can understand."

She came over for accountability because of the Sloane thing, no doubt.

It was already expected by Adriana.

"How the relationship between Peter and Sloane is, I don't know. But I know one thing, people do not offend me, I do not offend. The first time we met, Sloane opened her mouth and cursed, her words were hard to hear, Peter hit her, I know it was Peter who was wrong. But today, Sloane indiscriminately brought two people over to beat me, and if my brother hadn't protected me in time, I would be the one in the hospital now."

Adriana looked serious and said with her head held high, "I know I'm not good enough for Peter, and I can do without the luxury. But no matter what, that is between Peter and me, I believe I will take care of it, just Sloane should not interfere, moreover, should not come up to hit people without knowing anything."

"You have a point. That Harlee is Sloane's boyfriend abroad, you obviously already have Peter, how can you be entangled with another man? I just found out about this today. If Sloane hadn't told me about it, I would still be in the dark about it. Thanks to your promise in front of me, but look at your own character? You're not happy to say you're a womanizer and a cheater."

Mrs. Alston pointed at Adriana's face and yelled in a sharp voice.

It's a good thing the sound is not too loud, otherwise the whole office colleagues should see the joke.

Vivian rushed into the office in a panic and said with a panicked face, "Isn't that Steff of our company out to Udrealand Company to do project bid review? As a result, the Udrealand Company's bid was leaked in the afternoon, causing the bid to fail and losing ...... at least fifty million."

"How did this happen? Which Steff? Where are the people now?"

Adriana stood up at once, frightened, this kind of thing is a matter of professionalism, as a partner firm, must be kept secret, now causing the bottom of the bid to leak, if it is really her company people, then ...... her company in the industry simply do not have a foothold.

"Steff. but he took the day off, I just asked a colleague who has a good relationship with him to know that Steff is out of the country today. Think ......"

Vivian did not say the last words, the matter has been very clear.

It was Steff who knew he was weak, so he left the country before it happened and left the mess directly to YY Law Firm.

"Huaxia Hengshui? Which company is Huaxia Hengshui? Why is it so familiar?" Adriana murmured to herself.

"It's Ther......"

"Adriana? Adriana, come out here!"

Before Vivian could say a word, a loud noise came from outside the office, Adriana heard the sound and walked out, only to see several people walking in in a blaze of glory.

The person at the head of the group is actually ......Theresa?!

She was dressed in a white slim-fitting jumpsuit, with high heels, a blue and white striped suit draped over her shoulders, her long hair coiled behind her head, and her delicate makeup painted, and she walked aggressively toward her.

"Adriana, what the hell do you mean? I'm at least your best friend and I've been taking care of your business, but why are you doing this to me? You leaked my company's bid in order to get back at me, didn't you?"

With some questioning on her part, Adriana remembered, as an afterthought, that Huaxia Hengshui was Theresa's father's company!
