My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1066

Sebastian was pleased with Linda's apology. He looked at Rowane and said, "Miss Zanes, no matter who is at fault, Milton Group will take the necessary responsibility for today's matter. We shall send you to the hospital for a check-up to see if you are hurt. We will also issue the necessary disciplinary actions on both Linda and Arianna. Please forgive us!"

I was a bit stunned by his statement. I wanted to ask why, but under Hendrix's strict gaze, I shut up.

Then, Sebastian looked at me and said hesitatingly, "Miss Reid, no matter who is at fault, this is the Milton Group's premises. Any visitor is a guest. You shouldn't have offended Miss Zanes this way!" Then, I caught Linda winking at me, and I was at a loss for a moment before I quickly turned to Rowane. Similar to Linda, I began apologizing sincerely.

In this way, Rowane couldn't keep a straight face. Originally, she wanted to win everyone's sympathy by pretending to be a victim.

But after both apologies, Linda pulled up her sleeves, and the part of her arm where she had been scratched was exposed.

She looked at Rowane and said, "Miss Zanes, you're not the only one who's injured. Arianna and I are also injured. You know how long your nails are. You scratched Arianna's neck, face, and hands too, and you really exerted a lot of strength! Just because you are weeping so pitifully does not mean you are the victim!"

"Yes, you are a business partner from the Robert's Group. To our company, you are a guest, and so Arianna and I apologized to you. But we all know in our hearts who was actually to blame. So, please do not go over the top!"

After that, she looked at Sebastian without a trace of her previous servile attitude. She said, "Mr. Milton, well take our leave now!"

Then, she dragged me away.

But my wrist was grabbed by Hendrix. From the start, he had been silent. At this time, he was holding me, and his eyes were dark and gloomy.

I couldn't figure out what he would do. I looked at Linda and said, "Linda, you go to deal with your wounds first!"

Linda was slightly shocked when she saw this, then nodded and left.

Sebastian looked at Hendrix and then at Rowane, who was sitting on the ground in a dishevelled manner. He didn't say anything but continued to stare at Hendrix.

"Did you hit her?" Hendrix looked at me and asked in a stern and deep voice.

I nodded and didn't deny it. "Yes!"

He pursed his lips, paused, and said, "As the wife of the Roberts Group's president, you lost your cool and hit an employee of your husband's company. You really need to apologize to Miss Zanes!" I was stupefied. Sebastian clearly had the same assumptions as me. I did expect a scolding, but not such a remark from Hendrix at all.

And obviously, Rowane played the victim even further. Her face, which was full of tears, was now as pale as a paper.

I hesitated for a moment and apologized sincerely to Rowane again.

Hendrix pursed his lips and looked at Rowane on the ground. He said, "Miss Zanes, I am really sorry for what happened today. I will deliver justice for you."

He sounded cool and rational, without any personal touch, like words from a stranger.

Rowane's face turned pale. She stood up from the ground and looked at Hendrix with a little disappointment on her face, but she couldn't say anything.

Evan came in and took Rowane to the hospital for a check-up.

Sebastian saw this, and did not comment further. He spoke to Hendrix courteously and bade goodbye. Then he left.

Hendrix and I stood at the same spot, and I lowered my head. I knew that he would scold me at this time.

I could not help but take the initiative to speak. "It's my fault to hit her. I won't do it again."

"You don't want to fight back? So you want others to bully you?" He said and looked at me motionlessly.
