My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 174

I signed the documents for the Roberts Group's auditing. And Advancer Tech was officially under my name too. Those two were directly related to me.

If there was an incident or a major problem happened between those two, all they had to do was kick me out and the Roberts Group could still operate as usual after that.

I couldn't help laughing out loud with a hint of sarcasm, "Mr. Shelley, this was a great move. I must give you this!"

There wasn't a flaw at all in his plan to blatantly kick me out of the company.

He looked at me and said as his gaze fell deeply at my baby bump, "You don't have to be like this. Even when you leave the Roberts Group, the company shares under your name will still be yours. You just won't be in the company in person. Plus, you are giving birth soon. Either way, you're leaving the company."

Yes, I would still be leaving in the end.

I laughed again, "It's true that I'll still be leaving. But do you think me leaving on my own will and me being kicked out are the same thing?"

His face unreadable, and I controlled my temper and asked, "Does Hendrix know about this?"

He looked at me, and after a long pause, he nodded.

For a second there, I felt like someone was squeezing my heart with full force. It was so painful that I felt like I couldn't breathe. And to think that I thought Pedro was the one behind that.

What a joke!

There was no coincidence or the right timing. Everyone knew about that, except for me.

In fact, Austin was right about what happened next.

The next day.

I stopped asking about Hendrix. I simply decided to take care of the baby and myself while staying in the condo.

On the weekend, Monique pestered me to accompany her to stay in Andoland for a few days. I agreed to her since I had nothing to do.

Ucrebury and Andoland were very close. They were only an hour's drive apart. On the highspeed rail, Monique looked at the scenery outside the window excitedly. She linked arms with me and said, "I paid for the first installment for a house in Andoland. The renovation had just wrapped up. Come stay with me for a few days in my new house to warm it up."

"When did you buy it? Why didn't you tell me?" I asked. I had too many things to deal with earlier, so I didn't know what she was up to until she mentioned it.

She said while playing with her cell phone, "It hasn't been long. I was going to tell you, but you were occupied. So I didn't want to bother you with it. It's the same even if I tell you now anyway."

Well, what Monique said was true.
