My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 960

"Yes!" Dahlia seemed to have piqued Hendrix's interest. "Some time ago, we went to Myanway together and almost died there. You may not believe it. We all suffered a lot, especially Arianna. She is the one who went through the most. We were locked up in an operating theatre..."

As she said this, she whimpered and spoke in a whisper, as if to create a depressing ambiance for her tale.

I couldn't see Hendrix's expression, but he didn't speak, so I thought that he was probably listening.

Dahlia did not continue, so Hendrix took the initiative to interject, "An operating theatre?"

"Yes!" Dahlia exclaimed, her voice breaking as if she might weep. "I don't know how to tell you, but it was a nightmare. Everything at that time was simply terrifying. Those brutes brought the girls over from our country just to use their bodies as a means of drug transportation. It was so torturous as we awaited our own surgeries, it was even more distressing than the surgery itself..."

"In order to help us, Arianna had to strike a deal with those criminals... And hence, she got into trouble."

I couldn't figure out what she was thinking at the moment. Did I get into trouble because I pleaded for their safety?

Hendrix uttered coldly, "Continue speaking!"

Dahlia said, "In fact, Arianna could've left safely without us. She seemed to be very familiar with the Milton family, and those criminals wanted to send her to Monsa, but she stayed. When she knew that we were to be operated on, she went to plead with Kaleb Becker..."

I frowned. All this while, I kept having the feeling that the way she described it sounded extremely misleading.

He continued to listen to her. "Kaleb was not seduced by women, so he handed Arianna over to three men, and asked her to accompany them. As long as she agreed, he would let us go..."

I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. When did such a ridiculous thing happen?

Dahlia continued, "I saw that Arianna wasn't willing to leave with you yesterday, probably because she felt guilty, or violated... That's why she didn't want to let you get close. She probably didn't want things to turn out like this. It's not her fault"

"Moreover, those days in Myanway were dark ones. Sebastian's appearance was like a ray of light, giving Arianna hope. In order to save Arianna, Sebastian was seriously injured. Later, he brought us to Europe. During the time we were recuperating, Arianna and Sebastian were really quite a matching pair."

"If we hadn't met you at the Zero Club last night, we would have thought that Arianna and Sebastian were together. They seemed like they would've had a happy relationship together..."

At that moment, I didn't know what to say. It was preposterous, I nearly laughed out loud.

Naomi came back and saw me snickering. She lowered her voice and asked, "What did you hear? Why are you smiling so cynically?"

I smiled lightly and said, "Nothing. I just heard a story out of a prime-time drama. It sounds very interesting."

She narrowed her eyes slightly, speaking in a low voice, "Is she stirring up some nonsense again?!"

I smiled and did not say anything. I got up immediately, not worrying about being seen by Dahlia or Hendrix.
