My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 970

Looking at his charming face, I didn't know what he was going to do next. I nodded slightly and said with a faint smile, "Please ask!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "As we all know, the Milton Group has been mainly engaged in petrol and jade over the years, and the Roberts Group is in search for a cooperating party to help expand our Artificial Intelligence plans. I can't deny that your proposal is perfect, but perfection doesn't really mean compatibility. Your group is not experienced in the Al field. Do you think we can work together smoothly in the future?"

Fortunately, I had thought about this issue in advance. After a pause, I said, "This has been discussed within the Milton Group beforehand as well, and we all came up with a proposal in resolving this. Mr. Roberts, you can take a look."

He did not reach out to take it. Instead, he glanced sideways at Evan who was beside him. Evan stretched out his hand to take it as he looked at me hesitantly.

I thought he'd have no more questions, but he suddenly looked at me and said, "Miss Reid, if I remember correctly, you should have been the project director with the Roberts Group. Why did you leave the position?"

I was stunned. I never thought that he would ask about that. Without waiting for my answer, he looked at Sebastian and suddenly smiled, "Is Mr. Milton aware of Miss Reid's past?"

How could he know?

The year I left Roberts Group, I did so with a stain on my reputation. Details of my departure were suppressed, so not many people knew.

He was trying to humiliate me by asking Sebastian about my past just so he could reveal it.

Sebastian looked at me, unperturbed, "Everyone has a past. I don't know what her past used to be, but what I do know is that she is a brilliant person now. Mr. Roberts, you also have your past affairs, don't you?"

Sebastian avoided it so easily.
