My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1646

On the way back, Freya told me about Matt.

The Forbes Group in Jarold City was a real estate company, and the Forbes family prized boys more than girls. Hence, the rather incapable Elijah Forbes, Matt's elder brother, was put in charge of the company's business. The second daughter and Matt's elder sister, Serene Forbes, was forced to find another way out, and she founded X-Forbes. It was to set up supporting facilities for real estate and the company was already quite established. The Forbes Group and X- Forbes Group almost crowned all the real estate businesses in Jarold City.

On the surface, Serene and the Forbes family did not mix together. However, if something really happened to the Forbes family, the Forbes family members would definitely join forces to get through the difficulties. Therefore, the Forbes family's relationship in Jarold City was complicated, yet could not be underestimated. Matt was the youngest son of the Forbes family. He was a typical playboy and could never control himself. There were countless women whom he had affairs with, some even got their chastity robbed by him. Previously, he had been arrested for assaulting women in this way, but regardless, the Forbes family was powerful. Matt was also known as the "Devil in human flesh" by everyone. If it weren't for Moore Family's politics status, Freya might not have been able to escape him.

Freya said, "Anyone who is involved with him will get dirty. Let's not go to that shop in the future... We shall put it on our blacklist."

Freya's immediate announcement was rooted deeply in my heart, and I nodded repeatedly in agreement. "We'd better go somewhere further in the future. Downtown is pretty small, it's easy to meet acquaintances."

For acquaintances like Matt, it would be best if we would not meet again for the rest of our lives.

After I figured out the fund merger, Hendrix became busier than ever. Sometimes he would come home once every couple of days, but he could hardly be seen during the day.

Even though he had devoted himself to work day and night, the company's development in the construction industry was still in jeopardy. After several accidents happened in the construction site after the New Year, the workers had remained unable to work after secret treatments. They had then taken legal action against the Roberts Group in demand for compensation. The judiciary confirmed that the Roberts Group had not made any mistakes in operations, and rejected their appeal.

As a result, the workers revolted using the media. The public felt for the weak, and the Roberts Group were forced to apologize and compensate them.

This matter had a negative impact on the Roberts Group image, and every media outlet was desperately digging up news.

Even if I only had to deal with matters regarding Anne's schooling and studying for the bar exam every day, I still managed to know Hendrix's situation in detail.

He might have taken major leaps from Ucrebury to Jarold City, but this final step he was taking was hard. Maybe we did not have to wait for two years. Hendrix's enemy could ruin him at this moment. On this day, I still picked Anne up after school at the school gate as usual.

As soon as I got her, the moment I turned around, I saw Aaron standing on the side of the road with his hands in his pockets. His white suit, which did not match him, made him look very striking. "Uncle Aaron!" Anne recognized him at once and broke away from me. They were as intimate as father and daughter.

"Get in the ear." Aaron stepped aside, revealing the silvery sports car behind him where the Roberts car should have been parked. "Where's my driver?" I asked.

"He disappeared." Aaron answered with a halfsmile, and then carried Anne into the car.

He was already married, yet was still lying through his teeth, immature as ever. I rolled my eyes at him and got into the car.

Although we were both in Jarold City, the Reid Manor and our villa were in different directions. I naturally thought that Aaron was here as a guest. But after getting into the car, it was obvious that he was heading for the Reid Manor.

"We're going to the Reid Manor?" I asked.

Aaron concentrated on driving and did not answer until he passed the red light. "You're a member of the Reid family. Have you forgotten that there are still elders in the family, waiting for you to visit them?"
