Wife is a Lawyer

Chapter 181 - The War of the Men

If it weren't for Brenden's threats, why would she be living in fear every day, under his authority, living a

humble life?

But what can be done?

She is unable to secure her position, unable to protect Helen's well-being, and when she encounters

power, she can only choose to submit and bow down.

Survival in the cracks!

"Not good, not good. The two ladies go down and take a look, your husband got into a fight."

At this moment, a shopper downstairs hurried up, the atmosphere straight gasping.

"What? A fight?"

Theresa was so shocked that she could no longer care less about the slap she had received from

Adriana.

Carrying her fishtail evening dress, she trotted down the stairs.

Adriana stood her ground, without a hint of panic on her face.

This seems to have become commonplace.

A man went and sat down on a resting seat by the window and let out a deep sigh.

The right hand on the knee slowly spread out, Adriana hanging her head to look at the red palm.

That is the mark left by hitting Theresa too hard just now.

I never thought I would do it to Theresa, but she did, severing the last thread that had been tied

between their friendship.

"Theresa, I don't owe you anything."

She murmured a voice, the face that seems to keep smiling all the time emerged a little depressed and

sad look.

The large Waverly, seemingly embroidered and prosperous, the traffic, but there is no place for her.

Even in the heat of summer, can not cover the slightly cold heart, cold almost numb.

"Miss, do you want to go down and have a look?"

The shopper on the side asked tentatively.

Adriana's tightly knitted brow gradually relaxed, got up, carried her bag and went downstairs.

"Adriana, you are finally down. uncle is hurt, you should take him to the hospital."

Theresa said immediately when she saw Adriana walking down.

Trying to get away from Adriana in a hurry.

Adriana takes her eyes off Theresa, only to meet Peter's eyes unannounced.

From a distance, she could vaguely feel his sad and frustrated air from that cold face.

Suddenly, the heart faintly jerked, surging a kind of unspeakable pain.

"Brenden, are you okay?"

Just a moment's glance, she immediately looked at Brenden, an extremely worried look walked to

Brenden's heel, looking at his nose and face, not to mention the heart of how happy.

But the face does not show the slightest.

Holding his wrist, he stared back, glaring angrily at Peter: "Peter, are you sick? Hit Brenden at every

turn, what do you mean? Think I'm dead!"

Sharp eyes, in addition to pomp and circumstance, can not see a trace of other sentiments.

She said, "From today onwards, Brenden is my man, don't you dare touch him again!"

To outsiders, Adriana looks offensive, dominant and handsome.

I don't know, every word, every word from the throat, are like knives on the skin, the pain, only she

knows.

Peter, I would like to show all the ruthlessness in front of you, not to ask for your forgiveness, but to ask

your to be able to forget this, to put down, even ...... hate!

"Adriana, are you out of your mind?"

Seeing her so protective of Brenden, it seems that her suppressed anger was ignited and burst into

flames.

Pulling Adriana's wrist and clutching it in her hand, she growled with a fierce face: "Can't you see

Brenden's true nature? He's using you, are you an idiot or just stupid enough not to see it?"

"Peter, who do you think you are? And who am I to you? Have that time, mind your fiancée and stay

out of my business. I've seen a lot of men like you who are so disgusting that I'm nothing but disgusted.

Even touching me makes you feel dirty!"

She mercilessly shook off Peter's hand and took Brenden's hand, her voice becoming gentle,

"Brenden, let's go, to the hospital."

Picking up Brenden, the two walked towards the outside.

Although Brenden closed his mouth, but full of complacency glanced at Peter, the eyes are full of the

winner's sense of superiority and the joy of victory.

Leaving Signcoms Mall, Adriana shrugged off Peter's hand.

A sarcastic smile, "How about that, isn't it great to watch Peter fight and lose control over me?"

Peter raised his hand, slightly clenched fist hand wiping the blood stain at the corner of his lips, "You

are lingering."

"I'm curious, why are you so cooperative when you know what I'm up to?" He pursued.

Adriana's pace was a beat, and she looked back, her cool face with a little hidden anger, "Do you think,

I have a choice?"

Choice?

Yes!

Surrender to Peter and ask for Peter's protection.

But how smart is Brenden?

Knowing her like the back of her hand and knowing that Peter is her BFF's man, he refuses to beg

Peter even when he's pinched to death.

"Tsk ...... stubborn woman."

Lifting a hand to pick her chin, he shook his head and sighed, "What about my growing interest in you?"

Adriana's eyes narrowed slightly and she lifted her knee hard, hitting him hard in his fatal soft spot.

"Well ......"

Brenden ate the pain, a face instantly burst red, pain covered the crotch, grimacing.

"You!"

One hand pointed at her, unable to say a word out of pain.

"Brenden, don't forget to sign the contract, don't touch me, disgusting! "

Adriana left a message, stopped a cab on the road and left straight away.

A good mood, originally planned everything, and now made together confused.

Adriana doesn't even know how to handle tricky situations.

I just hope Vivian's side can investigate more things about Brenden soon, otherwise ...... continue to be

forced by Brenden, she really can't help but explode!

"Beauty, where to?"

The cab started and the driver asked.

Adriana froze and suddenly asked where she was going.

Don't really know.

After a careful thought, he said, "The river."

Ten minutes later, Adriana got out of the car along the river road and sat down on a bench by the side

of the road.

In the summer, the river willow lightly, the moat reflects the sunset sun, the evening sunset, the breeze

passed, the river shimmering like gold.

The scenery is picturesque.

Adriana closed her eyes to enjoy a moment of peace and relaxation, and her bad mood was somewhat

relieved.

Jingle Bell-

As expected, God was extraordinarily mean to her.

Just a moment of comfort was not wanted for her.

The phone was ringing like crazy and Adriana picked it up to see that it was Alvin calling.

Helplessly pressed the answer button, that sad palpitating face immediately replaced with a sweet

smile, voice clear, "Senior?"

"Adri, where are you now?"

Alvin asked

"I ...... I'm out there."

"Are you coming to the dinner today?"

Adriana's mouth skimmed, clearly the invitation has been delivered to her, there is no reason not to go.

"Go, of course you should go."

#### Chapter 182 BrendenAdriana attends the party

As soon as Alvin's call had hung up here, Brenden's call had already come in.

Adriana answered the phone, in a somewhat unpleasant mood, "Is something wrong?"

asked in a cold voice.

"I don't care where you are now, you have half an hour to get here to the South Wyoming Road Mall as

fast as you can."

After saying that, Brenden simply hung up the phone.

Adriana clutched her cell phone, not to mention how angry she was in her heart.

He has been suppressed for a long time, Adriana rebellious psychology, immediately gave Vivian a

call, want to remind Vivian to continue to investigate Brenden as fast as possible, even if it is to drop

the work in hand can be.

But the call went out and the phone kept ringing, but no one answered at all.

After three consecutive calls, Adriana wondered if she was busy with some kind of work.

Simply hung up the phone, sat by the river for a while then went to Brenden.

When I met Brenden, he had been waiting for a long time, carrying a paper bag from the brand's

counter with an evening dress inside.

"If you don't come, I'm going to have to come to you myself."

Brenden said grimly.

Adriana's lips lifted slightly and she smiled indifferently, "Are you sure you can go to the dinner party in

your present appearance? Not afraid to make a fool of yourself?"

At that moment he fought with Peter, it is clear that the disadvantage, was beaten nose and face, a pair

of eyes blue and blue, simply can not see people.

"Just mind your own business."

The man tossed her something and turned into a beauty salon.

In the hairdresser's store, Adriana had her hair done and her make-up delicately painted before she

changed into that nice evening dress.

Not long after, Brenden also came out from inside.

When I saw Brenden again after an hour, I could no longer see the traces of bruises on his face, but

under the careful dressing of the beautician, he looked more sexy, charming and handsome.

I have to say, this makeup artist is really a pair of clever hands, turning corruption into magic, amazing.

After everything was done, the two looked at each other and no one spoke.

After Brenden paid the bill, we left the hotel together.

The Grant Family is one of the four families of Waverly and is well known for its reputation. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The Grant Family's birthday party was naturally a very grand affair.

The entire hotel was chartered to host a banquet for all the upper class people, including some of the

biggest stars.

Outside the hotel is a collection of luxury cars, like a luxury car show.

Brenden and Adriana got out of the car, Brenden held out his hand, Adriana hesitated for a moment,

but finally lifted her wrist to take his arm.

Even though her heart loathes this person to the extreme, she can tolerate everything and pretend to

be calm and relaxed.

"Let's go."

Brenden gave her a satisfied look and carried her, together with her, down the red carpet into the hotel

lobby.

At the entrance of the lobby, Alvin stood at the door to receive guests and saw Adriana from afar.

"Hi, Adri?"

In a silver gray suit, Alvin was glowing and handsome.

Walking over to Adriana, her eyes glanced at Brenden, her good-looking recumbent eyes narrowed

slightly for a moment, "Uncle."

"Hmm."

Brenden nodded, "Haven't seen you in a while, getting more handsome by the minute."

"Uncle is joking."

Alvin shook his hand, then said, "Can I borrow your lady friend? Adri and I haven't seen each other for

some days and would like to talk to her."

"Naturally you can. Then you guys talk, I'll go in first."

Brenden readily agreed and let go of Adriana and walked in.

"Senior, what do you want from me?"

Although she could vaguely spy something from Alvin's eyes, she still acted as if she knew nothing

about it.

Alvin looked back at Brenden, who had already walked away, held up the sockets of his glasses and

pulled her aside, "What's going on with you and Peter? Why are you with Brenden now? "

This matter he knew nothing, if not today saw, may still be in the dark.

"Senior, what are you talking about. mr. Alston has her fiancee, I have nothing to do with him, in the

future, please don't mix the two of us together."

She said very clearly.

"Are you really going to stay with Brenden? He ......"

Alvin wanted to say something else, but Adriana didn't want to hear it at all, "You don't have to ask

about our affairs. I also want to ask you, how do you feel, is it better to be a president than a

professor?"

Previously Alvin was a piano teacher at the university, and since that time back at The Grant Family,

she and Alvin have met a few times but haven't talked much.

"Don't you give me a digression. adriana, do you know Luis ......"

"Alvin!"

In a hurry, Alvin almost said Adriana's relationship with Luis, who was surprised when Theresa

suddenly shouted, "So you're here, Peter has been looking for you."

Adriana turned around and saw that it was Theresa, and her face instantly turned a few shades colder.

Smiling faintly at Alvin, "Senior, you're busy, I'll go in first."

Turned around, walked right around Theresa and left.

The large banquet hall, gathered a number of prominent businessmen and celebrities, can simply be

described as a gathering place for the rich.

Rather, her presence here seems a bit out of place.

So he went to a corner and sat down, picked up a glass of champagne, and drank it alone.

"Yo, Adriana, why are you sitting here alone?"

Adriana was playing with her phone when a familiar voice rang out next to her ear, and when she

looked up, it was ......

"Hayley? You ......" Adriana asked suspiciously as her eyes glanced around, "What are you doing

here?"

This kind of grand party, if not for her relationship with Alvin or Brenden, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able

to show up here.

But, how did Hayley get in again?

"What do you mean by that, can you come in and I can't?" Hayley was dressed in a black strapless

evening gown, dressed to the nines, but also poised.

Just ...... that flaming red lips, makeup is too heavy, but looks tacky.

"Hayley, I'm warning you, since you're here, be honest and don't make any trouble, otherwise, it won't

do you any good."

Intuition tells Adriana that Hayley's presence here today is certainly not good.

"Adriana, mind your own business, my business is none of your business. Who do you think you are,

it's your turn to be in charge of my business?"

Hayley grunted and didn't have a good look.

Adriana turned her face away, not wanting to continue arguingwith Hayley.

Holding the champagne in his hand, he took a sip and turned to leave.

One wanders around and arrives inside the large garden behind the hotel.

Despite the summer heat, the garden is still full of flowers, but perhaps because of the heat, there is

almost no one in the garden.

Adriana took a parasol aside and opened it up, holding it up alone and strolling around the garden,

enjoying the flowers and the view, but also in a good mood.

Walking along, I ended up walking to a maze of greenery in the garden.

She stood at the entrance and looked towards the cue board on the side to see the topographical map

of the green maze, and could not help but feel a little curiosity and step inside.
