My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 170

If I were to admit to such claims right then, my reputation would be greatly damaged.

Seeing that I was no longer in panic, the woman laughed instead and said, "Fine, if Miss Reid doesn't

want to talk with me, then please seek a lawyer to get you out so that you can discuss this with the

shareholders in the Roberts Group and Ucrebury."

"Of course I will. You don't have to worry about that," I replied.

She didn't detain me any further since she failed to get anything out of me. She allowed me to leave as

soon as I found a lawyer to go through with some procedures.

After I left the Public Prosecutor Office, I headed straight back to the company. I was not sure about the

details, but I knew, as a fact, that the problem going on with the Roberts Group was definitely not that

simple. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

As I approached the Roberts Group's building, I saw a huge crowd surrounding the main entrance.

I didn't get out of the car. I called Josiah on the phone again, but he didn't answer.

Then I called Austin and, fortunately, he picked up.

I went straight to the point. "Mr. Shelley, I need you to explain about the four lives at the Advancer

Tech!"

He replied in a low tone, "Arianna, I think you should be concerned about whether Hendrix can survive

instead."

I was driven to the edge when I heard what he said, "Am I responsible for him going to Jarold City?

Was the last traffic accident not enough for him? Mr. Shelley, don't you dare tell me you didn't know

what's happening to the Roberts Group!"

"I have already sent someone to handle that. But then, your signature was evident on Advancer Tech's

documents. You're also clearly aware that Master Roberts transferred the fifteen percent shares to you.

As for the signatures for the southern district, they were indeed yours. They were Hendrix's decision,

so you can ask him if he comes out alive from the O.R.!" he answered.

After that, he added, "Arianna, I'd like to give you a piece of advice. Sometimes, you just have to learn

to let go of things."

"What do you mean?" I felt like I was trapped in an endless hole.

"I'll hang up first," He said before ending the call. I sat on the driver's seat in confusion.

I felt uncertain as I saw the crowd surrounding the Roberts Group's building.

Monique called at that time, and she asked anxiously, "Where are you?"

"At the Roberts Group," I replied.

"I'll pick you up. Don't go anywhere!" She said before hanging up the phone.

Fifteen minutes later, I spotted Monique among the crowd. I called her as she was squeezing through

the crowd to get into the lobby.

"Look behind you!" I told her as she picked up the phone.

She turned back and saw my car. Then she got into my car and said, "Let's head back to Bronzy

Condo."

In Bronzy Condo.

She looked at me gravely and asked, "What's with the Advancer Tech?"

I couldn't explain it in detail, so I tried to sum things up. "Master Roberts transferred Advancer Tech's

shares to me. And even though I wasn't dealing with their affairs in person, my signature was still found

on most of their documents."

Monique was dumbfounded, and she took a moment before asking, "So, you're the one to take the

blame for Advancer Tech now?"

I nodded, "Not only that, but there are also problems in the report done by Alford Audit and Brilliant

Audit. The data reported by the two companies don't match, and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau

has begun to investigate this. I'm afraid that the Roberts Group's stock prices will drop drastically

because of this. We might even face bankruptcy."

She walked back and forth anxiously and looked at me, saying, "Why do you even care about the

Roberts Group now? Think about what you should do first. The media is putting the blame on you. You

have to be careful of what some extreme shareholders would do to you as well. Not to mention, you

might be fined a huge sum for Advancer Tech's incident. Please think things through!"

She continued saying after a pause, "Anyway, Hendrix should be able to settle this on your behalf. But

then if he gets involved, it would also mean that your days in the Roberts Group wouldn't be easy in the

future."

My head throbbed in pain as I was overwhelmed by everything at that moment. With my head hung

low, I said, "Hendrix is in Jarold City's government hospital's emergency room right now. He was

involved in an aviation incident."

After a long pause, Monique asked, "Why did everything happen at the same time?"

I shook my head. I was stressed out about the whole situation.
