My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1636

A banquet with a lot of guests suddenly made the pregnancy feel like a big deal. Looking at the guests in the hall, everything was magnificent. Thinking of what lan said, I felt guilty for a moment. Monique became a black-and-white photograph, fixed on her tombstone forever, but I could still experience life and enjoy everyone's blessings. In contrast, she was really lonely. No wonder lan couldn't reconcile with me.

After barely greeting everyone, I was already a little tired, so I had to go upstairs to have a rest and let Hendrix and Freya stay with the guests.

In the space near the living room, a muffled sound suddenly came from the door. It seemed that someone had fallen down. I was curious and walked over holding my belly. It was Estella.

I asked, "Why are you here?" On such an occasion, it was enough for Evan to accompany Hendrix. There was no need to bring more assistants.

Estella tidied up her scattered fringe and replied respectfully, "I'm here to send Mr. Roberts a document. It's better if I do this myself, so I came."

After hearing what she said, I saw the leather file bag in her hand. It looked like she was telling the truth. I reached out and said, "You can give it to me."

Estella's hand, which was holding onto the documents, moved back a little. She looked a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Roberts. Mr. Roberts said that these documents are top secret. Without his permission, anyone who takes them away will be treated as violating the business secret."

I didn't buy these words, and my face fell. "Do you think that I will betray my husband? Or as a shareholder of my company, would I know less than an assistant?"

"No, it's not that!" Estella explained nervously. She looked a little flustered. "Mrs. Roberts, please don't get me wrong. I don't suspect you, but Mr. Roberts said..."

Originally, I wasn't interested in the document, but Estella's reaction completely stimulated my desire to win. I want to see what the document was, even if I wasn't supposed to read it.

I took a step forward to snatch the documents from Estella's hands. She didn't dare to push me, as I was pregnant, and I was Mrs. Roberts. She let go of the documents and I said, "I'll send the documents to the study for you. No one would know you gave them to me. You've done your task now. You may leave."

Estella hesitated for a few seconds in the same place. She frowned and looked awkward. Finally, she bowed deeply to me and said, "Mrs. Roberts, please don't tell others that it was me who leaked the information!"

After saying that, she stared at the document awkwardly and finally decided to leave.

I was not interested in her reaction. I slowly closed the door, carefully untied the string on the leather bag, and took out the documents inside.

It said, "Fund Merger between Roberts Group and Hillford Company."

A fund merger?

Didn't Hendrix promise me he would slow down for the time being? That he wouldn't he be in a hurry to expand the size of the company?

Originally, I thought it was just a draft, but at the end of the document, Hendrix's signature was in clear print with the company stamp. It was a completely valid contract, and the signing date... was on the day when we found out I was pregnant.

No wonder Estella was sneaking around and avoiding me. Before this, I had signed the equity agreement. One of the conditions was that Roberts Group couldn't start fund mergers within two years. Yet, Hendrix broke our agreement in less than a month... What was he planning to do?

How much more did Hendrix hide from me?
