Wife is a Lawyer
Chapter 82 Turning against each other

Legal Department.

After the morning's burglary, all the colleagues in the legal department had a better view of Adriana.

Officially onboarded and with her own job title, Adriana took the previous cases from the legal department and concentrated on the cases. Knock Knock-

Suddenly someone tapped on her desktop.

Adriana looked up and realized that the person standing in front of her was Hayley.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"You come out with me." Hayley's attitude was not amiable, and he turned away with a cold face.

Adriana closed the case and got up to follow.

In the hallway of the company, in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, Hayley stood with her back to Adriana, "When did you and Uncle fall in love?" Open the door and questioned unceremoniously.

The arrogant posture, as if she and Brenden are very close to each other seems to be.

Adriana's lips lifted in an arc, smiled lightly, walked to the window and looked out, sighed, "Brenden and I are between us."

From the moment Brenden appeared in the legal department, Adriana felt Hayley's hostile eyes.

Even though she was innocent and wronged, but it is dumb to eat the bitterness.

Threatened by Brenden, the secret cannot be revealed, so she has to keep it to herself.

"Adriana!"

Hayley turned around, her brow furrowed as she glared at her angrily, "You know I like Uncle, why are you trying to steal it from me?"

"Like? You and Brenden have only met twice, how can you talk about liking?"

Delusions of grandeur.

Not to mention Brenden's ambition, Hayley's status and beauty, how can she get into Brenden's eyes?

She is, after all, childish.

"How about meeting once? What's the difference between two? It won't stop me from liking Uncle. Besides, how do you know that Uncle doesn't like me? If she didn't like me, how could she have placed me in the legal department."

Hayley argued the case.

For a moment, Adriana wanted to say to her: Brenden is just treating you like a pawn.

You are the one who thinks too much of yourself.

But when the words came to her mouth, Adriana couldn't say them again.

"The person Brenden likes is me, you don't have to be imagining things."

To break Hayley's mind about Brenden, she tells a big lie.

"You...... you......"

Hayley was so angry that her face was red, green thin fingers pointed at Adriana's face, kept trembling, stammering: "You ...... Adriana, don't do whatever you want just because you have some good looks. There's no way I'm going to give up Uncle to you."

Over the years, Hayley has met too many men, but no man has really struck her fancy.

Brenden's appearance is like a banishment from the sky, a glance of a million years, sinking into it can not be extricated.

"Knowing the end, why do you need to struggle unnecessarily?"

Adriana thinks Hayley is too naive.

As much as she wants to sit back and watch, she is more worried that Hayley likes Brenden and will become a pawn if Brenden replaces out and uses her. "Hmph, we'll see."

Hayley can not win the argument Adriana, angry stomping feet, directly flip the hair and left.

Looking at her back, Adriana let out a sigh, not to mention how helpless.

"Adriana, are you really going to marry Brenden?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

She jerked back and looked at Theresa who appeared at some point, feeling doubly helpless.

What she just said to Hayley was heard word for word, and now, Theresa should be upset again.

"Theresa, what brings you here?" She avoided the subject, not wanting to answer.

"You answer my question." Theresa stepped forward, closing the distance between them, and asked directly, "Are you really going to marry Brenden?" The outcome of the matter is very important to her.

Adriana has been a lawyer for many years and has developed a keen eye for what is going on in Theresa's mind.

"It's Brenden I like, and it has nothing to do with his life. Him, success or failure, I don't care."

Theresa's fear is that she and Brenden together will be a big help to Brenden and help Brenden become the true heir of the Alston Group.

The benefits of all things come first.

The same is true between girlfriends.

Adriana couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"Don't care?"

Adri, I just want to ask you one thing, are you willing to leave Brenden and the Alston Group or not?"

The words came out, the tone is hard attitude rusty, it seems that between the two has long ceased to be a good bosom friend, but instead is the interests of competitors.

Recognizing that reality is always so cruel, Adriana's heart hurts, but the surface shows a light smile.

"Theresa, I have my own choices, and I hope you will respect them."

The matter has come to this point, there is no room for retreat, what can she do?

I don't ask for everyone's understanding and tolerance, I just hope my daughter Helen can Rene unharmed.

Besides, Peter is so smart, how could he not know Brenden's intention of arranging for her to enter the Alston Group?

But it is Brenden's attempts are too obvious to confuse the public and perhaps make Peter feel that things are not as simple as they appear, thus overlooking Brenden's true intentions.

But no matter what, Brenden and Peter are the biggest contenders for the heir of The Alston family and will not underestimate and beware of each other.

With this in mind, her guilty conscience subsided.

"I always thought we were good girlfriends, talking without any hard feelings. Today I realized that you only have interests in your eyes. Is it because you feel that I am with Peter that you have an imbalance in your heart, so you deliberately approach Uncle?"

Theresa doesn't understand Adriana's thoughts and continues, "That's good girlfriends?"

At that, Adriana tongue licking lips, a few imperceptible relief, doubly helpless and frustrated.

Side eye through the floor-to-ceiling windows looking out of the window, a sweeping Waverly beauty, tall buildings, prosperity, but there is no place for her.

"Theresa, I'm sorry."

A sorry, in Theresa's understanding is Adriana admitted that she was with Brenden for profit.

"Good, mark your words today. I will make you regret it."

The negotiations failed and Theresa left in anger.

In the large corridor, Adriana stood there with a melancholy face and infinite emotions.

She had very few people to apologize to in her life, but Theresa was one of them.

On one side is the safety of her daughter Helen's life, and on the other is Theresa.

The trade-off is the lesser of two.

There was no choice but to hurt Theresa.

Shuffle Shuffle-

A shuffle of footsteps came down the hallway, and Adriana looked over her shoulder to see that Alonso and Secretary Nelson Dean had both returned. You're back in one piece so soon?

Peter can be really fast.

"Adriana, we meet again." Nelson Dean, all hostile and grimacing, grinned.
