Chapter 260 - You're not good enough for him
Chapter 260 - You're not good enough for him
"Okay, I ......"
She opened her mouth to speak, and Adriana put up her arms and crossed them together, signaling
her to stop talking.
Flora grinned and had an extremely nice smile.
Walked out of the office and closed the door.
There was not a small sparrow around constantly chattering, suddenly quiet a lot, she sat on the seat
and began to look at the file, but for a long time could not concentrate.
My mind kept recalling what Peter said, and my emotions were awful.
Knock Knock-
Adriana was busy in the office for a while when there was a knock on the office door and someone
pushed in, "Ms. Hale, Mrs. Alston is here."
Vivian walked in and said.
"Let her in."
Adriana hesitated for a moment, but then she realized what Mrs. Alston was doing here.
There is always no escaping the meeting and accountability, so we can only face it honestly.
Vivian's eyes were a little uneasy, and she withdrew with a grimace. Mrs. Alston came in, and Vivian
closed the door and stood outside.
"Auntie, what brings you here?"
Adriana adjusted her mind, kept a light smile, and motioned for Mrs. Alston to be seated. In turn, she
went to pour her a cup of tea and handed it to her.
But the tea in her hand was sent out, Mrs. Alston did not take it at all, but only stretched out his hand,
his right hand playing with the nails of his left hand, the gesture leisurely, vaguely revealing the disdain
and contempt for her.
Adriana wasn't offended and placed her teacup on the table, stood across from her and asked, "Auntie
has something to say."
She has never been one to beat around the bush, let alone to run away from it.
"You're straightforward."
Mrs. Alston looked up and down at Adriana as if she were looking at a closet item, "I'm curious what
Peter sees in you that he has to be with you. Is it really just because you're the mother of a child?"
She shook her head to herself, as if talking to herself, and added, "Not so." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Adriana stood respectfully and did not say a word.
The two of them have been at odds with each other since you came along. But since you appeared, the
two siblings have turned against each other. The world always says that the beauty of a woman is a
curse, today I can understand."
She came over for accountability because of the Sloane thing, no doubt.
It was already expected by Adriana.
"How the relationship between Peter and Sloane is, I don't know. But I know one thing, people do not
offend me, I do not offend. The first time we met, Sloane opened her mouth and cursed, her words
were hard to hear, Peter hit her, I know it was Peter who was wrong. But today, Sloane indiscriminately
brought two people over to beat me, and if my brother hadn't protected me in time, I would be the one
in the hospital now."
Adriana looked serious and said with her head held high, "I know I'm not good enough for Peter, and I
can do without the luxury. But no matter what, that is between Peter and me, I believe I will take care of
it, just Sloane should not interfere, moreover, should not come up to hit people without knowing
anything."
"You have a point. That Harlee is Sloane's boyfriend abroad, you obviously already have Peter, how
can you be entangled with another man? I just found out about this today. If Sloane hadn't told me
about it, I would still be in the dark about it. Thanks to your promise in front of me, but look at your own
character? You're not happy to say you're a womanizer and a cheater."
Mrs. Alston pointed at Adriana's face and yelled in a sharp voice.
It's a good thing the sound is not too loud, otherwise the whole office colleagues should see the joke.
"Harlee and I don't know each other at all, and what happened that day was a misunderstanding. I ......"
"You what you? Where is there so much misunderstanding? You can fool others you can't fool me."
Mrs. Alston cut her off.
Adriana pursed her lips, helpless, and finally just asked indifferently, "So Mrs. Alston, what do you want
to do about it?"
Previously addressed politely as Auntie, she is now addressed directly as Mrs. Alston.
The change in attitude is evident.
"What do I want to do? I am a person who is too emotional, before too trusting you, and still think you
have a pitiful life. Now it seems that it is just a poor person must have a hateful place, you are not
worthy of us Peter."
"And then what?"
"And then?! Then it's just that you stay away from Peter and don't be ruining the relationship between
him and his sister. Is it easy for us three mothers to live together? If you hadn't ruined our relationship,
it wouldn't have been so raw."
She slapped the table with an arrogant air, very different from the way she had treated her before.
Adriana did not answer and did not react in any way.
Mrs. Alston muttered a few more words before leaving the office.
After the entire office was quiet, Vivian came in, looked at Adriana's appearance, opened his mouth to
try to comfort her, but finally silently retreated and closed the door.
At times like this, it's better to give her some space and let her be alone.
Adriana was still under pressure from The Alston family and couldn't struggle when something else
happened to the company.
"Ms. Hale, it's bad, something's happened."
Vivian rushed into the office in a panic and said with a panicked face, "Isn't that Steff of our company
out to Udrealand Company to do project bid review? As a result, the Udrealand Company's bid was
leaked in the afternoon, causing the bid to fail and losing ...... at least fifty million."
"How did this happen? Which Steff? Where are the people now?"
Adriana stood up at once, frightened, this kind of thing is a matter of professionalism, as a partner firm,
must be kept secret, now causing the bottom of the bid to leak, if it is really her company people, then
...... her company in the industry simply do not have a foothold.
"Steff. but he took the day off, I just asked a colleague who has a good relationship with him to know
that Steff is out of the country today. Think ......"
Vivian did not say the last words, the matter has been very clear.
It was Steff who knew he was weak, so he left the country before it happened and left the mess directly
to YY Law Firm.
"Huaxia Hengshui? Which company is Huaxia Hengshui? Why is it so familiar?" Adriana murmured to
herself.
"It's Ther......"
"Adriana? Adriana, come out here!"
Before Vivian could say a word, a loud noise came from outside the office, Adriana heard the sound
and walked out, only to see several people walking in in a blaze of glory.
The person at the head of the group is actually ......Theresa?!
She was dressed in a white slim-fitting jumpsuit, with high heels, a blue and white striped suit draped
over her shoulders, her long hair coiled behind her head, and her delicate makeup painted, and she
walked aggressively toward her.
"Adriana, what the hell do you mean? I'm at least your best friend and I've been taking care of your
business, but why are you doing this to me? You leaked my company's bid in order to get back at me,
didn't you?"
With some questioning on her part, Adriana remembered, as an afterthought, that Huaxia Hengshui
was Theresa's father's company!
