My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1053

He smiled, and his gaze fell casually upon the plants before him. "This is a typical case of being blind to one's closest flaws. She knows Milton Group too well, that she cannot notice its flaws anymore." I was stunned, "You don't have to worry about this. I will go to Lancille Village tomorrow. Since we have taken over the project, we will do our best to complete it. Don't worry, Mr. Roberts!"

He looked up, his eyes deep and bottomless. They were unfathomable emotions within them.

If I had too much contact with this man, I would fall into his trap.

The next day, Linda called. She was a little anxious. "Arianna, are you feeling better today? Can you come to Lancille Village?"

I was shocked and suddenly had a bad feeling. I nodded and said, "Well, what's the matter?"

"Regarding the cooperation between Milton group and Roberts group... Aren't we planning to build an Al science and Technology Museum? As the museum hasn't been completed yet, Roberts Group has brought the Al to the research base, and Mr. Milton arranged for someone to watch over them. However, someone went in last night and took away many items! The police are still investigating, and I just contacted Mr. Roberts. I asked him to send someone over to check what's missing."

Linda was close to tears. "When I left last night, I went to see it and even emphasized several times to take good care of these items. I didn't expect such a disaster to happen this morning."

Alas, the matter had passed, and it was useless to continue worrying over it. I comforted her, "Linda, don't worry, there should be surveillance cameras in the base. Ask the police to look at the footage, and I'm sure we can get everything back!"

After a pause, I said, "I'll be there in a minute. Calm down first and help the police in their operations. Try to minimize the company's losses as much as possible."

After hanging up the phone, I took my bag and left.

In the yard, Evan came out from next door with documents in his arms. When he saw me, the anxiety on his face dissipated a little. He looked at me and said, "Madam, are you going to Lancille Village? We are also going there, so come with us! It'll be tricky to hail a taxi here."

Hendrix also came out of the villa. He was dressed in a black suit, looking very stern. He merely glanced at me lightly and got into the car without saying anything.

Evan was right. It was really not easy to hail a taxi. What was more, they were heading to Lancille Village anyway. At such a critical time, I decided not to be petty.

I said, "Alright, thank you then!"

Then I walked to the passenger seat, but there were a lot of things on it. Evan said with some embarrassment, "Madam, please sit in the back. There are many documents from the past two days, and it's not suitable to put them in the trunk!"

I nodded. Although I knew that it would be awkward to sit next to Hendrix, I still forced myself to do it.

When the car started, the atmosphere was way too quiet. Evan then began chatting with me, "Madam, do you know about the matter at the base in Lancille Village?"

I nodded and answered, "Yes, Linda called and told me in the morning."

I couldn't help asking about the high-tech research projects at Roberts Group, "This time, it's Milton Group's mistake. So, is Miss Zanes also going there today?"

Evan nodded. "She is the director of the development team. Hence, she has to verify the missing items. She and her team researched those matters for nearly two years, and those were all successful work! What a pity!"

I pursed my lips and didn't know what to say. It was all in the past, so all we could do was head over to see what the situation was.
