Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 39

What a nice moment to recall!

Adriana turned tears into smile, “Hey, now I can earn myself money, okay? Today is my treat! Just drop those unpleasant moment and enjoy crazy shopping!”

Theresa nodded to reply, “Right on!”

“Come on, let’s go.”

Meanwhile, Hank was reporting to Peter in his office, “Boss, Mrs. Alston was doing shopping with Adriana for hours in the afternoon.”

Peter frowned while contemplating, “What is she trying to do?”

After hooking up with Alvin yesterday, now she came to Theresa.

What was she planning?

Then he added, “Keep your eyes on her.”

“Yes, boss.” Hank nodded and left.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Theresa coming over, “Mrs. Alston? Oh, Mr. Alston is now in the office.”

“Thank you, Hank.” Theresa smiled to reply and entered, “Peter, are you busy?”

Her mood seemed much better at this moment.

Though the snoop she hired showed her some pictures about the intimate act between Peter and Adriana, she only found that the most suspicious one was about his hug with Adriana in the hospital.

But at a second thought, it seemed that Peter was trying to catch her when she stumbled herself.

Perhaps Theresa did convince herself, or perhaps it was because she noticed that Adriana indeed hated Peter a lot. Whatever, as long as she was sure that Adriana had no feelings for Peter, she could feel much better.

“What brought you here?” Peter raised his head and folded the files, “what are you smiling at?”

“I am smiling because I went shopping with Adriana today.”

“You’re so easy to be pleased.” Peter smiled.

“Peter, come over here! I wanna talk to you.” Said Theresa with sweet voice.

She held his hand to lead him to the couch and they sat down together, “Peter, I heard from Adriana that you were attacking her law firm. Is that true?”

As long as Adriana showed no feelings for Peter, she would like to do her a favor. But if Adriana was planning to hook up with Peter, she would definitely retaliate against her.

Hearing that, Peter couldn’t help frowning. He got himself a glass of water and walked to the window, “You’d better stop talking about her.”

What a scheming lady!

Adriana had promised to him that she was leaving Waverly. However, not only did she go back on her words, but she dared to manipulate Theresa to achieve her goal—at least that was what Peter supposed.

Driven by anger, he clenched the glass hard. But still, coldness mixed with rage was leaking through his eyes.

“Peter, she’s my friend. Actually, both Alvin and she have been still single. They should be perfect match to each other. Why did you stop them?”

Theresa had been confused because of that. She found it hard to explain why Peter was trying to stop them from being together.

“Shut up!” Peter seemed irritated.

Theresa couldn’t help shivering. Confused, she asked seriously, “Peter, what’s wrong with you?”

Meanwhile, Peter also noticed that he was losing control at that moment. He turned to look at her, “It’s more complicated than you have ever expected. Alvin has an engagement with a girl from the Henderson Family, which has been settled twenty years ago. If Alvin breaks that engagement, his family will be destroyed! Now the Hendersons have grown too strong for Alvin’s family to fight against. Do you understand?”

Peter had to explain as soon as he noticed that Theresa was stunned. But commonly speaking, he hated wasting time to explain to anybody.
