My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 208

Smiling wryly, I took out my cell phone and switched it off in front of him, I raised my eyebrows, "Can we start now?"

He sat up straight and smiled widely, "Of course!"

"So, why did you kidnap me?" Although it had been a few months, I wasn't going to let it go easily if I didn't get to the bottom of it.

Michael lit a cigarette and took a few drags. Then he looked at me and slowly explained, "I was just doing my job."

I said nothing, waiting for him to continue.

"Alford Audit was in charge of the audit of Roberts Group. But for the latest audit, Mr. Roberts suddenly put Brilliant Audit in charge. To put it bluntly, Mr. Roberts kicked Alford Audit down the ladder. Plus, someone was hoping for you to leave Mr. Roberts voluntarily. So I took the risk to trap you, Mrs. Roberts. I'm sorry to disturb you."

I was amused. "You're quite good at evading the main points, Mr. Lewis. As far as I know, you're not a shareholder of Alford Audit. The crisis of the Alford Audit has nothing much to do with you. Why were you willing to take

such a huge risk and even threaten my life just for the Alford Audit?"

He stubbed out the cigarette and narrowed his eyes at me. "What do you know about the role I played to keep Alford Audit in business? For the kidnapping, you should ask Mr. Shelley. He has more say in this matter."

"Austin Shelley?" I was surprised.

He smiled faintly. "To be honest, threatening you to hold a tender was only a small ploy. There are many ways I could solve the problem. But due to an additional external factor, I took a more offensive step. I'm sorry, Miss Reid."

I thought about what the additional external factor might be.

Austin got involved in this was most probably for Andrea.

So at the end of the day, I found out that, once again, Andrea was somehow related to my misfortune.
