Wife is a Lawyer
Chapter 29 Peter Beaten Up My Brother?
“Peter?”
Adriana was shocked. She didn’t expect that the plaintiff of Jenkins’ first case was Peter?!
She suddenly felt weak and fell onto the chair as if she had no strength left in his body.
How could it be Peter?
Jenkins told her that there once was a man who threatened him over the phone and the attacker this time might be the defendant.
That meant the guy who beaten her brother up was Peter?!
“Jerk!”
Adriana gathered up the files and left the firm for Alston Group.
After half an hour, the taxi pulled over in front of the building.
She dashed to the front desk and said, “Hi, please tell Peter…please tell Mr. Alston that Adriana Hale is here to talk to him.”
“Would you mind telling me if you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked politely.
Adriana’s eyes shimmered and lied, “Yes, I have.” Last night Peter went to her firm to give her the ultimatum. He would definitely agree to meet her now if she came for him.
The receptionist immediately dialed the president’s number and said, “Mr. Alston, there is a Ms. Hale asking to see you. She said that she has an appointment with you.”
“Oh, okay, I see.”
The receptionist hung up the phone and said to Adriana, “I’m sorry. Mr. Alston said that since you don’t keep your promise, you should deal with the situation yourself. He doesn’t want to meet you.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Adriana was anxious and had a bad feeling.
“I’m sorry. I can only deliver the message to you.” the receptionist shook her head and claimed that she didn’t know anything about this.
Adriana frowned and suddenly remembered what Peter said in Hale Cobb Law Firm last night.
“Crap!”
She spent the whole night taking care of Jenkins and hadn’t charged her phone yet.
