Chapter 99 Solid as Gold
In the nick of time, Peter stepped forward and pushed Adriana and Brenden away from the two, and withstood the heavy blow of the incense burner with the back of his head.
Bang-la-
The incense burner fell to the ground and shattered, splattering a floor of crumbs and incense ash.
“Peter?”
From the moment he jumped on Adriana, Theresa has felt Peter’s difference to Adriana, although heartbroken, but more heartbroken Peter bleeding in the back of the brain.
“Are you okay Peter?”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Theresa walked over and covered the back of his head with her hand, tears instantly came out, “Are you stupid? Although Adri is my best friend, you don’t have to protect her so much, right? Do you know I’m really heartbroken?”
The smart and wise Theresa was afraid of the media people messing up the description of Adriana and Peter’s relationship, so she directly used the identity of ‘bestie’ to defuse the reason why Peter took the initiative to protect Adriana, giving a reasonable explanation.
Adriana looked straight at Peter with her eyes, and Peter looked at her in the same way.
The two men looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
And Adriana is more incredible, unbelievable.
The crisis came and she thought she was going to be finished, but Peter swooped in and saved her.
That kind of speed was really beyond her expectation.
There doesn’t seem to be any reason to explain why Peter saved her, only one thing …
That is, he likes himself!
In any case, she is also a mature little woman, for emotional problems have seen a lot and seen a lot, how can not feel at all?
“Have you made enough noise!?”
Brenden pulled the dazed Adriana behind him, “Don’t you want to know why Gisselle and I divorced? Well, since you guys are so unemotional, I’ll let you see it clearly.”
Saying that, Brenden took the tablet from his assistant, clicked on the video on the Ipad and handed it to Mr. Atkins, “Watch it carefully, what kind of good person do you think your doting daughter is? Ten years ago, the wedding room, she was with another man behind my back, at that time I could have ruined her, but I gave her a chance. I just didn’t expect that after all these years, she had become more aggressive and was with all kinds of men. Just because I didn’t say anything, doesn’t mean I didn’t know. All just because you had helped me, so I kept it hidden!”
“Mmmm … so comfortable … oops, hurry up hurry up la … people want it… …”
The video shows Gisselle having sex with a strange man, with unpleasant content and a pouting voice that makes you blush.
Mr. Atkins blushed and immediately turned off his Ipad.
“See clearly, there are many, many more such things!” Brenden’s entire aura was in full swing, with a deep cold coldness, “Originally I wanted this to go away, everything with Gisselle’s death dissipated, but you guys are too deceitful.”
“Uncle is such a good man.”
“This Gisselle is also too shameless.”
“If Gisselle were my woman and cuckolded me, I’d get her killed.”
“It seems that it’s not that Uncle is impotent, but that the two of them don’t have a married life.”
…
Mr. Atkins is a decent man who saw his daughter rolling around with the man with his own eyes and was convinced.
Because that man is none other than Gisselle’s former boyfriend.
He had no reason not to believe it.
“Don’t frame my daughter, the person is dead, you casually synthesize the video, when we are fools?”
Mrs. Atkins didn’t believe it at all.
But people who know the software know that pictures can be synthesized, the video can not do that realm.
“Go away, don’t make a fool of yourself, Gisselle deserves to die for not fighting for herself, from today onwards, I’ll pretend I don’t have her as my daughter!”
Mr. Atkins grumbled and dragged Mrs. Atkins to the memorial service.
That was the end of a farce.
“Adri, I’m sorry to have frightened you.” Brenden wrapped his arms around Adriana, his face covered with heartache.
“Peter, are you okay?”
Adriana ignored Brenden and asked Peter instead.
At this point, reporters poured in, reaching for the microphone and interviewing.
“Mr. Alston, why did you save Adriana in a time of crisis?”
“You said earlier that you got Adriana into the Alston Group, what is your relationship?”
“Brenden, did you and your ex-wife delay having children because you didn’t want to have them?”
“When are you planning to get married?”
…
For a while, several people were pushed to the top of the public opinion.
“I’ve liked Adri for a long time, and we can get married any time Adri wants. As for children, that depends on Adri’s wishes.”
Brenden, with a compatible face, seems to have emerged from the shadow of Gisselle’s death.
Unfortunately, in addition to Adriana, only Brenden himself knows that Gisselle’s death was his doing.
“Ms. Hale, how do you plan to do that?”
“Are you getting married this year?”
“Ms. Hale, how do you feel about facing Brenden’s advances?”
“I heard that you and Miss Lindsay are BFFs and you’re both marrying into The Alston family?” Really quite happy.
…
Adriana did not want to give any answers in front of the many media.
Caught in the whirlwind of public opinion and repeatedly used by Brenden, Adriana’s heart felt a sense of powerlessness.
With a haggard face, he said, “I’m sorry, I’m not feeling well, I want to go back and rest.”
“Adri said she wanted to rest, gentlemen sorry.”
Brenden leans down and picks up Adriana in a horizontal embrace.
Princess hug, in front of the crowd looks super man, super handsome, but also to Adriana invincible favor.
“Brenden …”
Adriana was just about to struggle when Brenden immediately leaned over and whispered in her ear, “Say the word no and Gisselle will end up like Helen!”
The voice was extremely small and finished quickly into her ear.
But to everyone’s eyes, watching Brenden with a smile still on his cheeks, was a happy sight.
Adriana’s face froze, pulling her lips, unable to say a word.
She had to let Brenden carry her away.
Peter stood still, his gaze fixed on Adriana had not left, but seeing the two of them departed, all that remained was … helplessness.
But more than that, it’s exasperation.
That was the end of the farce and Gisselle’s memorial service.
In the car, Adriana sat next to Brenden and immediately said after shaking Brenden off, “Stop the car, I want to get out!”
When Brenden didn’t say anything, the driver pulled over.
As Adriana pushed the door open and prepared to get out of the car, she looked at Brenden and said, “Our initial cooperation was limited to you achieving your goal. You’re going too far with this!”
“Excessive? Adriana, who do you think you are to negotiate terms with me?” Brenden’s attitude is raw and detached, without the softness of the party.
Switch between ice and heat with ease.
Not bad for an actor!
“Dogs jump to the wall, rabbits will bite when they are anxious. brenden, I hope you don’t go too far, otherwise, you will only hurt the enemy a thousand and hurt yourself eight hundred!”
She warned.
Brenden snorted and raised his hand to brush her cheek, “Then you will be my prisoner pet. Remember, you can’t escape.”
