Wife is a Lawyer

Chapter 242 You bring no benefit to The Alston family

At this moment, Adriana suddenly felt that the stereotypes in people's hearts are sometimes really like

a big mountain, no matter how hard you try, you can not change the minds of others.

It's just a single-minded, paranoid, stubborn belief that you're right.

"Uncle Lindsay!"

Peter stepped forward and stood in front of Adriana, blocking her, but his hand took her hand without a

word, his thumb fingers rubbing gently on the back of her hand, as if to soothe her emotions.

"It's not a good idea to generalize; I thought Uncle Lindsay had the vision and insight to make The

Lindsay Family's company what it is today, but that doesn't seem to be the case."

After saying that, she took Adriana in her arms, "Adriana, the woman I Peter identified, no matter what

anyone says, I will not change my mind or my approach. I have been in the Alston Group since I was

eighteen years old, and to be where I am today, I think I have a good eye and will not look away.

Therefore, I hope that all of you at ...... will be satisfied with what I have done."

Mrs. Alston was also a little surprised.

Since Adriana said those things, she asked someone to investigate, and also know that Adriana is a

hard-working woman.

It was just the words that really shocked her a bit.

But even so, it is not certain that Old Mr. Alston will accept her, instead, Peter's words may anger the

old man.

"Adriana, you come with me."

He turned, went to the side room compartment and asked Adriana to follow him there.

"I'll stay with you!"

Peter said.

Adriana shook her head, "No need."

Brushed his hand away and followed Old Mr. Alston towards the other side.

Last time she came to The Alston family, she still had some love for The Alston family's old house, how

come this time she couldn't get up some joy when she looked at these ancient buildings.

Go inside the compartment in the side room.

Next to Old Mr. Alston still stood the familiar servant, the one who had gone to the apartment with Old

Mr. Alston the last time.

"Old Mr. Alston."

She jowled slightly, "What do you want from me?"

"Girl, you got a lot of guts?" He suddenly asked.

Adriana was a little confused, "I don't know what Old Mr. Alston is talking about."

She was a little confused.

"I asked you to leave Helen behind, and you dare to take her and run away? What, is The Alston family

so devoid of prestige?"

He gently tapped the obsidian floor with his cane, emitting a powerful aura around him, shocking

Adriana's back chill, could not stop gulping.

"Old Mr. Alston, a woman is weak, but a mother is strong. Helen is my daughter, you did not allow me

to be with Peter, and I did not want to be with him, so I chose to leave. As a result, it was Peter who

impressed me with his actions, so I decided to give each other a chance."

She took a deep breath and said: "As I said earlier, I have my own company, although the size is not

large, earn enough money to spend. Money is something that is not brought to life, not brought to

death, even if I am sitting on millions, the end of the day, the money or the child. So, I do not

understand why you think I am with Peter, is greedy for money?"

Old Mr. Alston shook his head, "I didn't say you were greedy for money and talent, and I know you're a

spirited girl, but your presence and presence brings no benefit to The Alston family."

The phrase sounds very familiar.

Adriana thought for a moment before remembering that it was at Orchard House that Mrs. Alston had

said something to her.

At the end of the sentence, Adriana suddenly did not know how to explain.

In a family like The Alston family, what they value more is profit, so as they say, she a Cinderella

married into the family, even if it is not for money, it does not bring any benefit.

"So, what does Old Mr. Alston want me to do?"

She asked instead of answering.

Old Mr. Alston's old eyes stared at Adriana, "I know about Brenden, and at the same time, you should

be clear that it is you and Helen's presence that has become Peter's weakness. And he is in a position

that should not be childish. The Alston family has been around for 100 years and has deep roots, but

now the surface is calm and quiet, but the inside is stormy.

Even if I stop you from being with that Peter kid now, he'll do it out of impulse. So, of course, I won't say

anything."

He said here and listened down.

Adriana heard what he meant and then asked, "But what about ......"

Usually so much preamble is stated before, naturally there will be buts.

Old Mr. Alston laughed, that laugh came from the heart, pointed to her hand and nodded, "You girl if

you come from a wealthy family, I will surely appreciate you, a smart one."

Adriana did not agree with his compliments.

Just stand there meekly and don't say a word.

Then, Old Mr. Alston waved his hand, towards the servant beside him is to show a look.

The man walked toward Adriana and handed her a copy.

Adriana took the document, opened it, casually read a few pages, and her face instantly went white

and bloodless.

"Why would ......"

She was about to ask something when Old Mr. Alston raised his hand, signaling her not to say

anything.

And pointed to the file, "There are days on it, you look at it yourself, think about it, in tell me. In addition,

this matter I do not want Peter to know, otherwise ...... consequences, you know very well."

Adriana once again looked at the object in her hand, and then the servant took it away from her.

She smiled coldly, her smile bleak and icy.

Take a deep breath, adjust the mind, the dense watery almond eyes become clearer, "Old Mr. Alston

finished? Then I will go down first."

"You're a smart man, I think." Old Mr. Alston prompted.

"Old Mr. Alston is too kind, I am but a woman, vulgar and superficial."

When he finished, he turned and left the room and closed the door.

Peter, who was still waiting in the hall, was outwardly calm, but when he saw Adriana come out, he was

the first to stand up, took three steps forward, took her hand and asked, "What did Grandpa say to

you?"

Adriana looked natural, shook her head and smiled blandly, "Secret, of course I can't tell you. Come on, RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

they're all waiting over there."

Not long after, dinner began.

A bout of noise before the meal made the meal unusually quiet, quiet some eerie.

After the meal, The Alston family sat down to chat and Adriana said she had eaten too much and

wanted to come out for a walk.

Peter wanted to come along, but was stopped by Old Mr. Alston, who said he had something to discuss

with him.

So, in the end, Adriana came out alone, walking in the big old The Alston family house, stepping on the

cobblestones, walking alone with her heart full.

"Adri?"

At some point, Alvin followed her, shouted, stepped in front of her, and asked, "What did Old Mr. Alston

say to you just now?"

Adriana's preoccupied face was instantly swept away, revealing a sweet smile, "Senior, why are you

here? By the way, Vivian went to your company this afternoon, how was the business negotiation?"

Digress and avoid answering.
