My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 503

Surprised by my question, she paused for a moment before saying, "I was just about to talk to you about this. Aren't you and Mr. Roberts going to go back to Ucrebury? I have to go back tonight. What are you guys planning to do here on New Year's Eve?"

I shook my head and said, "I guess we'd be going back to Ucrebury too!"

She knitted her brows and pointed out, "Arianna, didn't you just enter the Reid family's registry? So, it would be more appropriate for you to be with the Reid family for New Year's.

I totally forgot about the Reid family. A headache started at the back of my head as distress set in. "Well, I'll have to think about how to make arrangements for this year."

After I had breakfast, I went to the Granger Group. Mr. Hathaway came to Jarold City as he planned to have annual vacation after the annual meeting.

After contacting him in advance, he waited for me in his office. When he saw me, he said, "The Al products had a new breakthrough. We will organize the launch after New Year. If all goes well, Granger Group will dominate the Al market."

I was aghast. I didn't expect him to give me such a big surprise. I couldn't help laughing and told him, "This is probably the happiest news I've heard this year. Please make the arrangements, let everyone go home to celebrate New Year after the annual meeting. We'll organize the product launch after New Year."

He nodded and left after handing me the document. For a while, I just stood in the office, stuck in a daze.

I had initially come to the Granger Group with the goal of taking over Fantasia Company in order to compete with the Moore family's business. However, this seemed unnecessary now.

Even so, this had been done and the outcome turned out to be unexpectedly great. It was just that...Irvin was not here anymore. Without him, I couldn't help but feel a little lost.

When I came out from Granger Group, I called Charles on the phone. When he answered, I invited him to have lunch with me.

It was already the year end, so most people had already gone off on their annual holiday. Charles was temporarily free from his busy schedule as he had just returned from inspecting several provinces and regions.

At the restaurant.

I pursed my lips and was entangled with Moore family's actions. I couldn't help but think, "Are they planning a bigger scheme?"

After chatting with Charles for a while, I went to the Miller family's house in the afternoon and met with the two elders of the family.

It was already late when I returned to the villa. I was surprised to find Hendrix sitting in the living room leisurely reading a book.

Since no one would get into a fight without talking, I decided to go straight upstairs. Without Minnie, the villa was as empty as ghost town.

"Since you have visited the two elders of the Miller family, are you planning to go to the graveyard tomorrow to visit the three of them?" Hendrix's voice was cold and chilly.

I curled my lips, unfazed by what he said to me. I just answered, "Mr. Roberts, you seem to know a lot, don't you?"
