My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 169

I was brought to the interrogation room. A middle-aged woman sat in front of me and said sternly, "Miss Reid, I'm sorry to have brought you here. We would have to record the conversation for legal purposes, and I hope you can cooperate with us."

I nodded. I was frightened when they held me in the airport. But right then, when I was in the interrogation room, I had already calmed down.

The woman looked at me and said, "According to our investigation, the Roberts Group had just wrapped up their auditing under the public's observation. You had already reported the result as well."

I nodded and didn't say anything else.

She continued, "I've seen the report and audit results, and most of them are approved by you. Miss Reid, are you aware of the financial deficit in Roberts Group?"

I frowned. Without answering the question directly, I asked instead, "Madam, the things you asked me, are they illegal?"

She shook her head and smiled, "Nope, it isn't, but the illegal issues are related to this. Six months ago, a technology company under the Roberts Group, Advancer Tech, covered up the accidental death of four factory workers. They died because of safety problems that arose in the factory. However, your company didn't compensate nor give an appropriate statement regarding this, and unfortunately, a family of three committed suicide last night because of this."

"Four workers died in an accident?" I was so shocked that I stood up from my seat, "How could it be four people?"
