Wife is a Lawyer

Chapter 273 St. Peter's Manor

Peter instructed Hank, "Go check out Adriana's circle of contacts and friends in Los Angeles over the

past few years."

"Okay, I'll get right on it."

Hank nodded and turned to leave.

Since Adriana is not back in the country now, she must still be in Los Angeles, but there is no way to

find the other person, so what is she doing?

Adriana already knows about the domestic affairs, so at this time she must be suspecting the identity of

the person behind this matter.

So, who should it go to?

Peter thought hard about the result, and none of them came to mind.

Knock Knock-

Suddenly, there was a knock on the room door.

Thinking it was Hank coming over, he walked over and pulled open the door, and to his surprise found

Harlee standing in the doorway.

"What is it?"

His attitude was icy and he asked directly.

"Yesterday when I came back from the casino with Adriana, we sat for a while when we passed by the

square, but then she suddenly saw someone familiar and looked very frightened, and stifled her voice

on the way back afterwards. I thought, could it be related to this incident?"

Harlee also asked someone to look for Adriana, but after looking for so long, there is no whereabouts,

he was a little worried, and could only tell Peter what he knew at the first time.

Trying to use Peter's power to find Adriana.

"Thanks."

For the information given by Harlee, Peter felt that it was not useless.

He wrinkled his eyebrows, a pair of eyes turned uneasily, heart a million worry about Adriana's

situation.

A good half sound, he suddenly thought of something like, his eyes lit up, and immediately walked out

of the suite.

Harlee saw his flustered look and went after him, asking, "Do you know where Adriana is?"

"I don't know."

Peter's attitude toward him remained cold.

"You ...... forget it, the young master does not bother with you." Harlee waved his hand, really too lazy

to bother with him.

After leaving the hotel, Peter drove straight away.

Harlee watched him speed away and wanted to drive after him, but hesitated because she wasn't sure

that Peter must know Adriana's whereabouts.

Peter is not very familiar with Los Angeles, but for many years he has been a frequent visitor to this

area for business, and is not a stranger.

While driving, I entered the navigation to 'St. Peter's Manor'.

The navigation showed that the fastest journey would take twenty-seven minutes.

He sped up, trying to get there as fast as he could.

St. Peter's Manor.

"Brenden, you're really here."

Adriana thought hard last night and felt that there must be something fishy about the company, so she

immediately rushed over early in the morning.

Taking a taxi to the estate, I happened to see Beatrice, who was busy on the estate, heading this way

when I spotted a familiar figure.

When you look closely, who else could it be if not Brenden?

Brenden was dressed in farm work clothes, with a straw hat and a scythe in his hand, just like a farm

worker's dress code.

He looked at her sideways, there was no surprise in his eyes, instead, he smiled indifferently, "Coming

here alone, Adriana, you have a lot of guts."

"How can you know if you came alone or not?"

Adriana wore flat shoes and walked with a strong hold on the sole of her foot, not wanting Brenden to

notice her difference.

At this time, not far from the sound of Beatrice came to see Adriana, the eyes can not hide the surprise,

"Adri, what are you doing here?"

She glanced around at both Brenden and Adriana and raised an eyebrow, instantly understanding

everything.

"Come on, now that you're here, go into the house and sit down."

Beatrice proposed.

Adriana nodded, "Yeah, just in time to get thirsty."

Follow Beatrice along towards the courtyard of the large castle-like villa, with Brenden at her side.

Adriana asked directly, "Did you do the YA Law Firm thing?"

Once again facing Brenden, she was not as nervous as she thought she would be, but rather a little

more open.

A few days away, he grew a longer moustache, the whole person exudes a unique charm, extremely

manly.

I have to say, Brenden is very handsome and is the mature and sexy type.

But the bones are not what good people, in vain have a good skin, really some waste.

"No."

Brenden answered directly.

That kind of frankness surprised Adriana a bit, but ...... really believed it.

After saying that, Brenden held his scythe and nodded at her, "What, a thousand miles to send

someone's head? Run to my side to send death?"

He was really interested in Adriana, and wondered what kind of woman this was.

After so many things, she actually dared to come alone, but also really ...... elusive.

"Came over to find answers."

She sighed and raised her eyes to look at the blue sky. Although she was in a relaxed state, her body

was actually tense and she was always on guard against Brenden, a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"Heh, doesn't look like it to me." C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Brenden smiled coldly.

The three of them entered the hall together and she and Brenden took their seats while Beatrice

poured two cups of tea and placed them at the table.

Brenden picked it up and took a sip, but Adriana was slow to move her glass.

"Afraid of poison?" He looked sideways at Adriana and teased.

Adriana is not pretentious either, "It's not like you've tried to hurt me once or twice, so why not? I'm not

stupid."

"Say, what is the purpose of coming here today."

He asked directly.

Since Adriana dared to come alone, she must not have brought anyone else, otherwise the people he

sent to keep an eye on her would have found out.

"The purpose is naturally there."

Adriana put her bag on the sofa, looked at Brenden with strong composure, and said, "I know you are

strong Rex, very capable. There are also some things only you can do."

She has nothing but hatred for Brenden.

But Adriana now sees Brenden as a double-edged sword, both beneficial and harmful.

I came here with the intention of taking a chance, but I never thought I would really meet Brenden.

"Say it."

Brenden is very frank.

After a previous fight to the death, no one expected to sit and negotiate with each other.

It feels subtle and tense.

Adriana looked at Beatrice, who was busy over there, and asked Brenden directly, "Is she ...... your

wife?"

In the country Brenden had Gisselle, but Gisselle was killed by his own hand after she was hospitalized

in a car accident.

And Beatrice and Brenden relationship is very close, but more thought-provoking.

"Heh, you do have some vision. But it's not good for a woman to be too smart." Brenden took a sip of

his tea and glanced wistfully at Adriana, then at Beatrice over there in her long red dress with her

blonde hair draped over her shoulders.

"If I were smart, why would I come alone?"

"Really, that only means you have a lot of guts. What's the matter, got into trouble with Peter and now

you're desperate to find me?"

Brenden's heart held a few curiosity.

"I would think that someone as smart as you would see through it and not say anything." She smiled

blandly, seemingly responding to his meaning.

"Huh."

Brenden smiled.

"I came over to see you today ......"

"Adriana, what are you doing here?"

Just as Adriana was about to say what she really came for, there were small footsteps upstairs,

followed by a shout of surprise.
