My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 208

Smiling wryly, I took out my cell phone and switched it off in front of him, I raised my eyebrows, "Can

we start now?"

He sat up straight and smiled widely, "Of course!"

"So, why did you kidnap me?" Although it had been a few months, I wasn't going to let it go easily if I

didn't get to the bottom of it.

Michael lit a cigarette and took a few drags. Then he looked at me and slowly explained, "I was just

doing my job."

I said nothing, waiting for him to continue.

"Alford Audit was in charge of the audit of Roberts Group. But for the latest audit, Mr. Roberts suddenly

put Brilliant Audit in charge. To put it bluntly, Mr. Roberts kicked Alford Audit down the ladder. Plus,

someone was hoping for you to leave Mr. Roberts voluntarily. So I took the risk to trap you, Mrs.

Roberts. I'm sorry to disturb you."

I was amused. "You're quite good at evading the main points, Mr. Lewis. As far as I know, you're not a

shareholder of Alford Audit. The crisis of the Alford Audit has nothing much to do with you. Why were

you willing to take

such a huge risk and even threaten my life just for the Alford Audit?"

He stubbed out the cigarette and narrowed his eyes at me. "What do you know about the role I played

to keep Alford Audit in business? For the kidnapping, you should ask Mr. Shelley. He has more say in

this matter."

"Austin Shelley?" I was surprised.

He smiled faintly. "To be honest, threatening you to hold a tender was only a small ploy. There are

many ways I could solve the problem. But due to an additional external factor, I took a more offensive

step. I'm sorry, Miss Reid."

I thought about what the additional external factor might be.

Austin got involved in this was most probably for Andrea.

So at the end of the day, I found out that, once again, Andrea was somehow related to my misfortune.

Andrea's actions had indeed caused an estrangement between Hendrix and me. It had changed my

feelings toward Hendrix.

I left Golden Scale Villa in distress, and I had a very bad headache. Now that I knew the reason behind

my kidnapping, I knew I wasn't in any danger. But I was still overwhelmed by the memory of being

locked in a dark room, and all I heard was Hendrix and Andrea's moans.

I had been regulating and treating myself for quite some days now, but I just couldn't get rid of some

things.

I was at a loss, so I called Ian.

"Arianna, what's wrong?" Ian asked.

"Ian, I need to talk to you," I was a bit worried that I would be trapped in an endless loop.

The mishap was in the past. I didn't want to talk to anyone about it, but it had forced me into a dead-

end.

"What's the matter? Have you been sleeping well recently?" Ian asked. He sounded a little tired. He

must have just finished work.

I heaved a heavy sigh, feeling upset. "There's a lot to say. When can you come to Ucrebury?

I can't travel far. I'm pregnant."

"What the f*ck?" Ian raised his voice. "You're pregnant? Who is the baby daddy? What's going on? Are

you married? Who did you marry?" NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

He threw out a series of questions. I held my forehead and didn't know which to answer first. So, I just

simply said, "It's a long story. Come to Ucrebury when you have the time." "Sure, Arianna! And you're

mean. You didn't tell me when you got married," He couldn't stop talking once he started.

It made my head buzz, so I said, "I'm sorry. Too many things have happened in the past two years, and

I can't deal with it. So..."

Ian stopped talking and sighed at the other end of the phone. "Now that things have happened, it’s no

use for me to comment on anything. I'll find time to go to Ucrebury in a few days. We'll have a good talk

about you."
