Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 32

“Stop acting like you are not a whore. You worked your ass off to get into my lounge. Weren't you trying to trade your body for the survival of your company? Beg me, and I’ll help you.”

He looked down at her as if he owned everything in the world, including her.

Tears blurred her vision. Her lips parted and for a moment a phrase tried to take shape in her mouth, but she swallowed the words all.

She closed her eyes, too tired to say anything.

He kept moving on her, day and night, relentlessly. She was already exhausted, begging him to stop, and passed out eventually.

When night fell, Peter leaned against the bed, with a cigarette in his hand.

The girl sleeping next to him seemed to be sobbing in her dreams. Looking at her red and swollen eyes, a wave of guilt washed over him.

She was the one hanging over his head all these years, the mother Luis had been missing night and day.

For years, he tried so hard not to find her, but she just showed up in front of him as Tessa's best friend.

Buzz buzz —

There was the sound of someone's phone vibrating across the silent room. Peter took a look at the Caller ID—it was Theresa.

He put on an annoyed frown, turning his phone off straight away.

At the same time, Adriana was woken up by the noise.

When she opened her eyes to see the messy bed and her bare body, tears shed down her face once again.

“I’m going to the police.”

She said calmly, but with deathly desperation.

His hand holding the cigarette stiffened, “Do you really think that they'll believe your story?”

“You are nothing without your money and power.”

Adriana clutched the quilt tightly to her chest, burying her face in it, in great pain and desperation.

He took out a check, “Here's three hundred million, as compensation to your company.” Then he got up from the bed and left.

Adriana scrunched up the check worth three hundred million. She wanted to throw it away, but she held back the thought.

Three hundred million!

Why can’t she just accept it as Peter's compensation?

After she took a quick shower, she found a new women’s suit on the bed.

It must be Peter who had it delivered to her.

After all, if anyone should find her walking out of Alston Group in a wreck, all sorts of rumors might start to spread.

He would never risk doing a disservice to Alston Group.

Thinking of it, Adriana squinted and came up with an idea.

When she had changed, she grabbed the file and walked out of the room, surprised to see Peter still working in his office.

He paid no attention to her leaving, like he didn't care about her existence at all.

Adriana gave him a cold glance and left. However she suddenly stopped with her hand on the door handle, “See you in court, Peter Alston.”

Then she strode out of the door.

Having left Alston Group, Adriana walked down the street, holding the files in her arms and feeling a sense of helplessness.

A sudden gust of wind swept past her, making her unable to see the road ahead.

She tried to block the wind with her hand, only to find tears streaming down her face.

“Adri?”
