My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 172

Right when I thought back about it, everything seemed to be planned in advance, as it happened all of a sudden.

Pedro Moore!

The name suddenly popped up in my mind, and I felt a chill running down my spine.

Of course, they would be behind it. If something were to happen to the Roberts Group, the only people capable of helping Hendrix would be Valerie and Pedro. Those two had the best network in town, not to mention their financial capability.

After all, they found their daughter back after twenty years. How could they, as her parents, not provide her anything she wanted?

Andrea loved Hendrix, and that was a well-known fact among us. If it wasn't for a scandal of that scale, Hendrix would never agree to divorce a pregnant woman like me. But if the situation was that worse, everything would become possible.

"What are you thinking about?" Monique tugged my sleeve and asked.

"The scheme!" I said as I lost my appetite. I looked at Monique and said, "I'm afraid they're not after Hendrix this time. They're coming for me!"

She looked puzzled, and she asked, "What? You're confusing me."

I ignored her as my headache worsened. If Valerie and Pedro were really behind that, why would they board on the flight that they knew was gonna crash? Why would they put their precious daughter at risk too?

"Don't mind me. I might be overthinking things!" I simply replied to Monique and went back to the bedroom.

Then I called Sawyer. The phone was connected after a few rings, he asked, "Arianna, are you okay?"

"Yes!" Standing on the bedroom's balcony with the night lights of the city shining in front of me, I asked, "How's the situation there?"

"He's still in the ICU. There's nothing I can do but wait. Besides, it's useless for me to stay here, so I will come back today. Brilliant Audit is under investigation. If I don't head back soon, things might turn out worse," he said.

Of course, it was useless. What was the point of guarding the patient when one couldn't even see the patient?

"Have you seen Austin and Josiah?" I asked as I got reminded of those two.
