My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 168

Sawyer hung up the phone, and I could only wait for him.

I left the bedroom and went downstairs. Hendrix wasn't there, and the villa felt hollow. I turned on all the lights.

I searched for news updates in Jarold City on my phone, but nothing came up.

About fifteen minutes later, Sawyer called back. As soon as I picked up, he said, "I booked us flight tickets for seven in the morning. Are you coming?"

My heart missed a beat, "Yes!" My breathing became rapid, and I felt like my energy was drained out of me at that moment.

My head was buzzing. I had a lot of questions in mind, but they were all stuck in my throat.

After a long pause, he said over the phone, "They should be fine. I guess they're just in the hospital for some minor injuries from the turbulence during the emergency landing. Don't worry too much."

I nodded and said, "Okay, I got it. See you tomorrow morning."

I couldn't go back to sleep after the phone call, so I sat in the living room, circling myself into an embrace. The villa felt empty. We were better off living in a smaller house.

The villa was so huge that it could produce echoes. It was unbearable.

The next four hours were awfully long.

It was dawn when I packed some belongings with me and left the villa.

When I arrived at the airport, Sawyer was already there with the flight tickets in hand.

The airport wasn't crowded in the morning, and most passengers were in a rush.

Seeing me, Sawyer raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "There's half an hour left. Let's go through the security check first."

After that, the two of them took me away.

I had no idea what was going on at all.

Sawyer stopped one of them and said, "If the Roberts Group is involved in something that serious, why are you only taking her away? She's just an ordinary employee. You should be after the person in charge!"

"Please don't interfere with official duties. Miss Reid is an employee of the Roberts Group as well as the wife to the legal representative. She signed on most documents in the Roberts Group, and there are pieces of evidence to show that she is involved in this. Sir, if you have any questions, please seek a lawyer. And again, please do not interfere with official duties," One of them said.

I was still puzzled, but I heard the conversation clearly. I looked at Sawyer, "Don't worry. I'll figure things out when I'm in Jarold City."

If Hendrix couldn't be there when the Roberts Group was involved in the alleged crime, I should step up for him before the situation worsened.

Plus, I didn't know if Austin and Josiah would be able to handle the crisis.
