My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1726

"You're really annoying."

Sebastian was probably stimulated by Aaron's words. He left his desk, walked to the sofa and sat down leisurely with a pair of sinister eyes. "Where do you think you are? The market? You think you can come and go whenever you want?"

"You think too much. I'm not as familiar with some 'markets' as you are." Aaron gave him an insolent look, provoking him.

Although Sebastian was twisted, he was not good at arguments. Being ridiculed by Aaron, his face turned from blue to black, and he was too angry to speak. He snapped his fingers and called a few bodyguards outside.

In just a few seconds, Aaron and I were besieged by enemies from all sides.

"I wanted to ignore you for Arianna's sake. Since you're so eager to die, don't blame me." Sebastian stared at Aaron coldly and his eyes flashed with a murderous gaze. "Take him away." After finishing his words, two bodyguards walked toward Aaron.

But Sebastian forgot that Aaron was no softie. Before the bodyguards approached, Aaron had responded quickly. He kicked one of the men, then he moved behind the bodyguards. He knocked both of them down.

"Humph..." Sebastian looked down at his men, who were screaming in pain on the ground. He calmly said, "I looked down on you, but you don't think you can get out of here just like this, do you?" Aaron could easily defeat five people at a time. It may have been a little difficult, but we still had a chance to win.

Since Sebastian dared to let him come, he was naturally well-prepared. I was afraid that the other bodyguards in this building were already on their way. Their numbers would be far too much for us. At this time, I heard the voice I had been looking forward to hearing for a long time behind me.

"What if I'm with you?" Hendrix walked in. His black trench coat reached his ankles and showed off his tall and straight figure.

Sebastian frowned when he saw him. He thought for a while and looked at me thoughtfully. After a few seconds, he suddenly realized and gasped, "You guys tricked me?"

"You saw through us so quickly. You're Sebastian, indeed!" I stopped showing weakness and mocked him loudly.

Aaron would not miss this great opportunity to add insult to injury, so he chided him and said, "I advise you to teach those underlings of yours a lesson if you have time. They can't even do a small thing properly. They just have to spy on us, but failed. You think I bought your empty threats?"

It was just a few words, but what really happened was far more treacherous.

Sebastian had captured, but released me again. It was obvious that he wanted Hendrix to see me suffer, and submit to his fate.

I was indeed poisoned, and my body was still not healed. However, Hendrix had found a suppressor, so it would not kill me for the time being. I pretended to be ill for a short time. Sebastian's people had risked exposing themselves just to change the drugs to relieve my pain and symptoms, which verified my guess. Sebastian wouldn't let me die.

If I died, Hendrix would go crazy and seek Sebastian for revenge. Sebastian wouldn't get anything he wanted, so my life was the best bargaining chip for the baby exchange. Because of this, Aaron and I pretended to end my life in front of Sebastian, and Sebastian was fooled as expected.
