Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 65

"Tomorrow Peter will hold a press conference, you can clarify it in person, and I will give you a million as compensation afterwards."

"One million? Really?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I got it."

The mention of money really worked well, and Brenda easily agreed.

But Adriana can't forgive herself for lying to Brenda.

This one thing is too much suspicion, all things are clearly directed at Peter, she and Brenda is just a pawn used by the backroom manipulator.

Even Van did the same.

However, Van has already paid an irreparable price, and Adriana does not want Brenda to fall deeper into it, fearing that Van's downfall will be Brenda's downfall.

The next day, the Alston Group held a press conference and Brenda was there. Peter produced video evidence and the forensic report of the Public Security Bureau on Brenda's mother's death, all of which proved that everything was a false accusation.

Peter claimed to the outside world that it was a backroom manipulation by his peers to discredit Alston Group.

The launch event ended perfectly and the crisis of Alston Group was lifted.

Afterwards, Brenda approached Adriana, who transferred a million dollars directly to her bank account.

Everything seemed to be solved perfectly and a storm was killed in the cradle just as it was brewing.

But that's just the appearance.

The killer behind it does not show up and no clues can be found.

And the Alston Group lost a lot of money because they lost the Coastal Bay Project!

Alston Group.

"Boss, all leads were cut off after Van's death." Hank walked into the office and told the truth.

Peter stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the large Waverly, and fell into contemplation.

"Pull back and stay put. Have someone keep a careful eye on Brenda."

There was silence for a while before he admonished, and then added, "Strengthen the protection of Luis recently."

Although Hank did not understand what Peter was trying to do, he immediately ordered it.

He didn't understand, but Peter, the authority, knew everything.

He looked down at a piece of paper held in his hand, the paternity test, identified as Adriana and Luis, the two compared the results for the probability of mother and child is ninety-nine percent Lawson.

This identification report was delivered to the front desk by unnamed courier and forwarded over.

So, the person behind the curtain has spared this big circle is to test their attitude towards Adriana, by the way, in testing Adriana is not aware of their mother-son relationship between her and Luis.

Secondly, it is using this chaotic event to create bad publicity for Alston Group and sabotage the bid.

So, who is that guy? And how did he know that Adriana was Luis' biological mother?

Peter's eyes narrowed slightly with a plan.

He then called Adriana, and the phone rang for a long time before the other party answered.

"Who is it? Can I help you?"

The voice on the other side of the phone was weak, and her sickly frailty could be felt through the phone.

"Adriana, Hayley's been taken care of. I've booked you a flight for 3:00 p.m. and asked Hank to see you off."

The tone of command, the attitude of no resistance.

Adriana had a moment of hesitation, but Peter categorically would not deceive people over trivial matters.

And she experienced so much in the country, has long been physically and mentally exhausted, now can leave is not a good thing.

"Okay, I got it."

Adriana obliged.

This walk, she did not want to talk to anyone face to face.

Parting is her least favorite way to say goodbye, whether it's to Alvin or Theresa, she doesn't want to say too much.

But inwardly, he decided to send a message to Theresa after arriving at the airport to say goodbye, so that Theresa would not ask to meet again.
