Wife is a Lawyer

Chapter 1223 Obren Secrets [1

Although Emilio did not answer Adriana's question directly, the truth of the matter was already known

from his reaction.

Even if you're not sure, you're still 70% or 80% sure.

"I thought you said you had an axe to grind with Ruth, so why would you work for her?"

Adriana asked instead of answering.

Emilio held his glass, leaned back in his chair and tilted his head to take a sip of wine.

Then, tilting his head to look out the window, the fingers holding the wine glass gently tapped the glass,

as if in thought.

"Not only do I have a grudge against Ruth, I have a grudge against Chaya's family."

Emilio's gaze fell on Adriana's body, raised his eyebrows and sighed despairingly, "You are smarter

than I thought. However, it is true that I did it, even though it was Ruth's intention, but you know my

nature, I never do things that have nothing to do with my interests."

He admitted it. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

At the reply, Adriana had a few seconds of bewilderment, then snorted and shook her head, "True."

She pursed her lips and tilted her head to look away, not knowing how to face Peter.

From the beginning she wondered how he, Emilio, could have the compulsion when only the Obren

patriarch had it.

At the time,it was thought that Alani had stolen it from the matriarch and given it to Emilio.

Unbeknownst to Ruth, it was all her doing.

In other words, because she likes Peter, she brings endless suffering to him.

You have a good plan!

Because she loves Peter, so Ruth let someone give Peter poison, in Peter poison, dying, Ruth

suddenly appeared, in the critical moment forced her to activate the mother compulsion in her body, so

as to save Peter.

Finally, Peter's compulsion was completely removed.

But the mother compulsion awakened in her body, she is completely unable to save herself, the only

choice will be to return to Obren.

There is no other way to go.

"Ruth forced me to return to Obren because she wanted me to inherit the patriarchate. And what was

the reason you entered into a brief partnership with her?"

Adriana asked a question that had puzzled her for a long time.

"You forget my identity, I am also an Obren, and even if there is any conspiracy plan, it needs to be

done in Obren. So, I coincide with Ruth idea, both want to force you back to Obren."

"Forcing me to go back to Obren?You hunkered down in The Alston family over a decade ago and

started counting me out at that time, why are you just doing it now?"

Adriana suddenly felt like her life was a joke.

"Obren patriarch can only inherit after at least twenty-five years old. Before I can lay hands on you, you

already have Peter by your side, protecting you all the time, both explicitly and implicitly, I simply have

no chance to lay hands on you, much less force you to return to Obren."

Emilio shrugged helplessly.

This is something Adriana can understand.

If she is unconscious, she will not be able to enter Obren, and she must be able to enter Obren only if

she has a document and the will to enter Obren.

"Later, when I had no choice but to take you back to Obren by force, I found out that Ruth had

appeared. Then came all these things behind."

Emilio is a bit helpless.

Adriana then understood why Emilio (Brenden) took the initiative to approach her, firstly, to have a plot

against her; secondly, at that time Peter had already moved on to her, Emilio was trying to approach

her to test Peter's mind on her.

Want to see if the person who has been silently protecting her is Peter.

"Despite all the things going on back there, you finally came back to Obren."

Speaking of which, Emilio smiled gratefully, "Not forgetting all the trouble I went to."

"Even if I come back, it won't do you any good."

Adriana said in a cold voice.

"No, no, no."

Emilio waved his hand, "Actually, even if you didn't look for me today, I would have looked for you and

told you the truth about Peter's poisoning. It's just that you are smarter than I expected and already

know about it. I think that now you must hate Ruth."

All he wants is for Adriana to hate Ruth.

So the initial intention, as long as he can live back to Obren, will wait for Adriana to Obren and then tell

her the truth.

"Coincidentally, she is also my enemy. It is also a common enemy for both of you and me, so we can

consider thinking about cooperation. Furthermore, you don't want to be the Obren patriarch, but I want

that position. As long as you can help me ascend to the position of Obren patriarch, you and Peter can

leave Obren and go back to live the life you want."

With a sincere face, Emilio added, "From before to now, there is no deep hatred between me and you.

Isn't it?"

He spread his hands and raised an eyebrow.

"Hiss~"

Adriana suddenly felt some pain in her head and couldn't help but draw in a breath.

"What's wrong with you?"

Peter was taken aback by Adriana and asked in a hurry.

"It hurts, a headache."

Adriana propped her elbows on the table, dragging her forehead, closing her eyes in pain, her little face

a little twisted and pale.

As soon as she said she had a headache, Peter knew it wasn't a normal head cold, but ......

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his bitter cold gaze shot straight at Emilio, "Why does it hurt when I ......

Adriana enter Obren?"

Peter subconsciously wanted to say 'we', but was afraid that it would reveal that he was pretending to

be cured.

"She's not the only one who's in pain."

Emilio raised his glass of wine, lightly pursed his lips and said, "Curing the child parasite in your body

with blood is all bullshit."

His words fell on Adriana's ears and Adriana subconsciously looked at Peter and then at Emilio, "What

do you mean? Honey isn't healed at all?"

"The blood in your body can suppress the daughter compulsion in Peter's body, but it cannot be cured.

Once the blood supply is stopped, the daughter parasites in his body will increase day by day and

become more toxic."

He told Adriana the truth about what had happened.

Adriana's eyebrows twisted and her cold eyes glared at Peter, "honey, you ......"

She subconsciously wanted to reprimand Peter, to ask him why he was hiding it from her.

And conspired with Zac to lie to her that he was cured.

It's no wonder Peter wasn't around the night her compulsion returned.

It turns out that he was not cured at all, but did not want her to work so hard to supply him with blood to

cure him.

Adriana wanted to reprimand, but the words came out of her mouth, but she had trouble saying them.

Peter fell to this point today is her fault, but Peter carried so much alone.

Adriana's nose was sore and she almost cried out, but due to the presence of Emilio, she didn't want to

show a scene of her weakness and held her tears back.

"Silly girl, I'm fine."

Peter noticed that her eyes were red and raised his hand to rub her cheek, "I'm in front of you now,

don't think too much."

Even though Peter was not feeling well, he still thought of Adriana in every way.

The first time I saw her, I had to go back to Obren. You say, there is a more ruthless mother in the world

than her?"
