My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 173

I sneaked into the Roberts Building when a crowd started to form around the car.

There weren't many people working in the Roberts Group when I got in. I only saw some people from the management level and also those who were investigated by the Industry and Commerce Bureau at that time.

I found my way to the conference hall. Austin was already there negotiating with the people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau.

Seeing me, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did you get in?"

"I walked in," I answered.

I sat next to him as the people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau handed him a stack of documents, "The results of the investigation on Roberts Group will be out tomorrow. According to the current investigation, there are only violations within the audit and Advancer Tech. Other than that, everything seems fine."

Austin nodded solemnly and said to them, "Sorry to trouble you."

As soon as the investigators left, Austin started reading the documents. He didn't look anxious. Instead, he looked very calm.

I took away the documents in his hand and said, "Mr. Shelley, let's talk!"

He raised his eyebrows and looked at me, "About what?"

Looking at his calm expression, I held my breath, and I suppressed my anger as I said, "I only took over the Roberts Group audit and Advancer Tech for two months, and this happened. Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Then why did someone commit suicide?" I asked. I remembered what the interrogation officer had told me when I was taken away by the Public Prosecutor Office.

He sneered, looking at me as if he were looking at an idiot, "I think it's true that being pregnant will make someone silly. It's been more than half a year since the incident, yet people are only committing suicide recently. Do you think they're really doing this because of the factory?"

Someone was trying to link those two incidents together so that they could damage the Roberts Group further.

I didn't know what to say. So, I was the most clueless one for the whole time? The reason why Austin was so calm was that he knew. As Sawyer had said, it was only a big shuffle within the company.

And that the one to be eliminated from the game was me!
