My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1637

I took a deep breath and tried to keep calm. I sealed the file again, and sent it back to the study. Then I went out, pretending that nothing had happened.

Passing through the corridor, I went to the railing, and checked the situation in the living room.

From a high vantage point, I could see Hendrix's position clearly. Almost all the men were surrounding him. I didn't know what they were discussing. Everyone's face was full of longing, just like devout believers, witnessing the scene of God descending to earth.

At that moment, the phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated. I picked it up and took a look at it. It was Tobias' WhatsApp message.

Two voice messages.

I clicked on the first message and heard Irvin's voice. "Arianna, is Hendrix by your side? If..."

The voice stopped abruptly, as if someone had cut it off on purpose.

I didn't hesitate and tapped on the second voice message. Tobias didn't want to give up. He said smugly, "I'll let you check the goods first, and then we can talk about business. It's up to you whether you want to listen to Irvin's whole message. Actually, you don't need to worry at all. Even if we know all the positions of the communication base station, the Hayes won't be stupid enough to go against the government. I promise you that the Granger Group won't need to take any risks. Think about it."

If I were to meet him at this time, I would definitely have punched him in the chest. This man was too cheap. He actually used this matter of life and death as a bargaining chip.

It was just that Tobias had done a good job. Irvin had disappeared for so long, and the first sentence he asked was about Hendrix, which made me more curious about what he said after that.

I thought for a moment, then pressed down on the recording button. "You're the head of the Hayes family, yet you're so stingy? You want to talk business, but only give half of what you've been asked to do. Is this your so-called sincerity?"

Tobias chuckled and replied, "Oh, you've been with Hendrix for a long time. You've gotten better at negotiating. Okay, I'll give you another chance."

Then, another voice message was delivered. It was the complete statement by Irvin.

"Arianna, is Hendrix by your side? If he wants Granger Group, don't have to worry about anything, and just give it to him! Remember, your safety is your first priority! Don't take risks! Don't rush to find me either!"

"Deep..."

Irvin spoke so fast that I had to listen to him twice to ascertain that he was telling me to take precautions against Hendrix.

Holding my phone, I looked at Hendrix, who was shining like a star downstairs, and I suddenly felt uneasy.

All the facts told me that Hendrix had weaved a huge trap and pulled all of us in it. I was also one of them.

I turned around and went back to my room, sitting on the sofa in a daze. It was not until Hendrix pushed the door open and came in after the guests had left that I started moving. "Haven't you slept yet?" Hendrix sounded a little tipsy. He threw his coat on the back of the sofa and came to me. He leaned over and kissed me on the forehead. "Go to bed early."

It was obvious that he was in a good mood. After that, he went straight to the bathroom and prepared to wash up.

Before he stepped into the bathroom, I stopped him.

I questioned, "Hendrix Roberts, did you call these people over today to celebrate that we're about to have two adorable kids, or did you want to use this as an opportunity to expand your business through everyone present?"

Hendrix paused, and the whole room suddenly quieted down. The atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating.

Sometimes, silence was enough to prove everything.
