Wife is a Lawyer

Peter squinted, stepping forwards to the living room.

“You came just in time. I'm cooking. Let’s eat together.”

Since he insisted on coming, he must have an ulterior motive. Alvin thought it a good opportunity to get it straight with Peter.

So he opened the door and let Peter in.

Peter strutted into the living room, then he turned to the dining room on smelling the food. Someone sitting there looked quite familiar to him.

“Miss Hale is here? What a coincidence.” He said in a deep and hoarse voice, with a hint of mockery.

Hearing his voice, Adriana jumped to her feet, turned her head and saw Peter.

She felt a sudden pause in her heart, while her face turned pale.

Her hands were clenching the edge of her chair tightly, “Coincidence it is.”

Is it really a coincidence though?

Needless to say, Peter knew she was here. That's why he came all the way here.

“Sit, Peter. I’ll bring you another plate.” Alvin went to the kitchen.

Peter walked to Adriana, bent down and said in a low voice, “Have you forgotten what I said so soon?” Eh?”

“Forget?”

Adriana raised her eyebrows, trying to conceal her anger and smile, “You must be kidding, Mr. Alston. Your words have been engraved on my mind. For they come at the cost of my company. I think I’ll remember them for the rest of my life.”

How could she possibly forget? Those memories will never leave her.

“In that case, you should better stay away from Alvin.” He snorted with coldness.

Adriana kept smiling, “Have you ever heard of this, Mr. Alston? A beggar can never be bankrupt. I've got nothing left to lose now, so why should
