Wife is a Lawyer
Chapter 264 An ingrate

"It's good to know I'm on top of my game day in and day out."

Harlee raised an eyebrow and smiled mysteriously, "I heard that something happened at your law firm, you didn't come here for that, did you?"

"How do you know?"

How did Harlee still know about the law firm when she had already told Theresa not to tell anyone?

"There's nothing in this world that I don't know that Harlee wants to know."

His tone was arrogant, and then he looked at her, "So it's really for this reason? I especially want to know, you are injured, Peter let you come alone, it is not really because that day in the western restaurant caused a misunderstanding, so that the two of you have a conflict, right?"

Listening to him ramble, Adriana was really a bit annoyed, so she simply lay down on the bed, "I'm tired, make yourself comfortable."

Knock Knock-

Not long after, there was a knock on the room door.

Adriana, perhaps because she hadn't adjusted to jet lag, fell asleep in bed.

When she opened her eyes and found Harlee still there, she couldn't help but frown, "Why haven't you left yet?"

"You cruel woman, little master to help you watch the dangling water, without me, who will show you?" Harlee teased a sentence, got up, pulled open the door of the ward, took a look at the woman standing at the door and walked away directly in a big way.

Anne looked at Harlee's back, walked in, closed the room door and couldn't help but smile, "Who was that, such a handsome little brother, when did you hook up?"

"Don't be ridiculous, a...... ingrate."

After thinking about it, I think the relationship between them is quite aptly described by the ingrates.

With Anne's knowledge of Adriana, she saw that she was not very nice, so she knew that their relationship was average.

"What happened to your foot, why are you still in the hospital?"

He walked to the bed, lifted the thin bedding and looked at the gauze bound foot, "You are injured and still trying to be strong, you can leave the Steff to me. I've been in LA for so many years, I'm not a vegetarian."

"Poof ......"

Her words made Adriana laugh, "Anne, you change your name, I think ...... the name Anne is the opposite of your nature."

The name gives a gentle and sweet feeling, but Anne has always been a unisex dress, dry and full of domineering model, full of offense.

"The body's hair is the parent, the name is also taken by mom and dad, what do you let me do."

She said snidely.

The two spent some time in the hospital, best friends for a long time, and Adriana told Anne about the recent events.

Anne was overwhelmed with emotion, "So now you've broken up with Theresa and are with Peter?"

Speaking of Peter, Adriana remembered, as an afterthought, that it had been about ten hours since Waverly had left, and she hadn't seemed to wait for Peter's call.

She shook her head, "Still under consideration."

"That's just it, you make up your own mind. However, whatever you do, I will support you. Take a good rest for the next two days, and I'll help you replace out where Steff is first." "Well, hard work."

"You can easily come here, do not go to the company to see? As the major shareholder, you at least go to the company to check the accounts, otherwise it really makes me think that the company is my own." Adriana couldn't help herself, "You're my daughter's godmother, how can I not trust you?"

"Did it ever occur to you that Theresa would be the one to do this one?" Anne didn't continue her small talk about family with Adriana and moved on to the main topic.

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's that I don't want it. In fact, I was also thinking that Theresa is not so stupid that she would draw fire on herself. Huaxia Hengshui is her father's company, and if she really did that, although it would ruin the law firm, it would also direct the finger at herself and also make his father's company suffer a huge loss. It's not cost-effective."

Adriana weighed this question in her mind and could only take it half-heartedly.

Only when the truth is unearthed can everything be explained.

Anne nodded, quite agreeing, "Theresa really isn't that stupid to dig her own grave. I'm afraid Peter is suspecting her, too."

"By the way, where's Helen? It's been a while since I've videoed that cute little munchkin, and I've missed her a bit." She asked.

At her words, Adriana's face flashed with a hint of unnaturalness, "She should have gone to bed."

In fact, Adriana also misses Luis and Helen's two children, from the accident to now, there has been a misunderstanding with Peter. Although she was relieved that her child was at Peter's home, it was her own child after all, so how could she not miss it?

Her eyes flicked to the cell phone sitting on the table, vaguely expecting it to ring.

Naive, there is no response at all.

After three days in the hospital, Adriana was discharged.

For three whole days, she did not ask about the child and Peter did not contact her.

The two proud people, who are not willing to put down a proud backbone, much less bow to each other and submit.

Almost recovered from her foot injury, Adriana went to see the company, everything was going well, and she didn't linger, much less go over the company's bills, but simply looked at the company's performance.

"Steff is in Las Vegas and has been at the casino for the past two days." Anne told Adriana the latest news that she found out first.

"Casino?"

She frowned and thought about it for a moment, "Okay, I get it."

Ding--

As she speaks, a What's App message beeps from Adriana's phone.

Picking up the phone, it clearly showed the name of Harlee's What's App: Wandering Madman.

[Are you free to go to Las Vegas together?

Looking at the contents of the phone, Adriana's good-looking eyebrows converged, and she couldn't help but wonder what Harlee was trying to do.

"What's wrong?" Anne poked her head in and glanced toward her phone screen.

As if gaining insight into some secret, he asked with a smirk, "Is this the man who took you to the hospital that day?"

"Hmm."

"Yo yo yo yo, there's catnip oh."

"Step aside, where's the fuss."

Adriana smiled helplessly, then edited a message to Harlee: [What's going to Las Vegas?

What a coincidence?

She's going to Las Vegas and Harlee will be there?

Why do you think something is fishy.

[I'll tell you when we meet].

[Good.]

Adriana readily agreed.

After giving the address, Harlee arrived at the office in no time.

When Adriana exited the company building, she saw a sultry blue coupe listening on the side of the road.

Harlee, dressed in a red suit and wearing sunglasses, looked at her and waved.

She walked straight over, her suspicious eyes measuring the slim red suit he was wearing, and couldn't help but ask, "Dressed so flamboyantly. You're not going to Las Vegas to pick up girls, are you?" "Come up."

Without answering Adriana's question, he tapped the co-pilot beside him.

Adriana gets in the car and Harlee asks, "How's the foot injury?"
