Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 35

Therefore, she chose to leave Waverly.

Five years later, she came back for Hale Cobb Law Firm, but it was eventually destroyed in her hands. Four years of efforts were in vain.

Now, she had nothing but the three hundred million worth of check from Peter.

Rat-a-tat-tat.

At that moment, someone was knocking at the door.

Adriana came to the door with the red wine in her hand, “Alvin, you ...” She didn't finish her sentence, because the man in front of her door was Peter.

Her eyes widened, her eyebrows furrowed, and she tried to close the door immediately.

What was the bastard doing in front of her house? She thought it was Alvin.

However, Peter acted way faster than she did.

He had his foot wedged solidly in the door, pushed open the door and went in.

“Peter? What do you want? I’ll charge you with break-in!”

Adriana was just shaking with anger.

She was not afraid of him when being with Alvin.

But now she’s alone in the house with him, the fear and horror crawled back into her heart.

“In a bad mood? Drinking on your own?”

He sat on the couch with his legs crossed, in an intolerably aggressive manner.

Adriana took a deep breath to calm herself down and opened the door, “Mr. Alston, I don't think we are very acquainted, so please leave.”

She had no intention of interacting with such a vile man like him.

No, she would rather see him in jail.

“Not acquainted? Really?”

He raised his eyebrows, “I remembered we had a one night stand, now you’re telling me that we're not acquainted? Or is it because you've slept with so many men that you can't remember which one?”

“P—!”

His sarcasm enraged her so much that she walked over to him and poured a glass of red wine on his face, “Get the hell out of here. Right! Now!”

Peter was looking down at his phone, caught unaware.

As the claret liquid streamed down his face and dropped on his phone screen, Peter's face fell in seconds.

“Adriana!”

He shouted out her name, a nerve twitching in his temple, “You’ll end up dead.”

Damn it! No one had ever dared to pour wine on his face. Except her.

“End up dead? Have you ever given me a chance to live, Peter? You defiled me, ruined my brother, and destroyed my career. Everything I had was all gone because of you. Where’s my chance to live?”

Adriana fumed, her eyes widened, glaring at Peter. The humiliation and powerlessness she was feeling rumbled on.

If only she could go back in time to change everything, then she wouldn't have returned from abroad or attended Theresa's wedding.

And she wouldn't have met such a jerk.

Maybe she was born to be unfortunate.

“You ... !”
