Female Novel
Chapter 1272
Linda was not stupid. After she heard what I said, she looked at me and asked, "Is the incident inOakland related to the Roberts Group?"
I didn't intend to hide it from her. I answered, "The Milton family wanted to get their hands on themanagement of foreign trade of Oakland, but the Hayes family had handed over the authority toHendrix. So, they kidnapped Hendrix and tried to force him to sign the contract to transfer theauthority, but it didn't work. At last, they were investigated by the police."
Her face was pale and her brows were furrowed. For a moment, she could not say anything.
Rowane glanced at Hendrix with worry and concern in her dark eyes. However, she didn't askanything. Instead, she looked at Linda and said, "It seems that the Milton family are willing to doanything to make money!"
Linda was silent. After a while, she looked at Hendrix and said, "Mr. Roberts, I know I can't changeyour decision, but I will do my best to protect the Milton Group's project in Asherton."
Hendrix glanced at her and didn't answer. He just looked at Rowane and said, "Contact the policeand the lawyer now!"
Then, he pulled me out of the warehouse.
In the car, I held back for a long time, but I still couldn't help but ask, "Hendrix, did you already knowabout this incident at Lancille Village before today?"
Rowane mentioned that a mistake had occurred during the construction process, which led to theback wall being smashed accidentally and the warehouse was discovered. However, I knew that theback of the base was off-limits to everyone. No one would drive the excavator there unless theywere ordered to do so.
He drove the car and stared at the road ahead. He smiled and said, "I knew it after you told me."novelbin
I pursed my lips and asked, "Then why didn't you expose it at that time? Why did you wait untilnow?"
He looked at me and answered, "If I had exposed him at that moment, Sebastian would have comeup with a bigger conspiracy and I would have to spend more time trying to outsmart him. So, Ichose to follow his plan, so that at least I knew what was coming!"
Seeing that he was still looking at me while driving, I shouted, "Keep your eyes on the road. Don'tlook at me!"
I paused for a while and said, "So when you were in Oakland, you knew that something wouldhappen. That's why when you found out that Sebastian was coming to Oakland, you decided toreturn immediately."
He nodded and said, "However, I didn't expect him to move so fast. That's why I was abducted byhim."
No wonder that he didn't seem to care when he was gambling with Kaleb in the casino. It turned outthat he knew his opponent was not Kaleb. Thinking about Kaleb, I couldn't help but ask, "Can youbelieve that Kaleb died just like that?"
He pursed his lips and replied, "The body at the police station in Oakland had been confirmed asKaleb. The DNA results matched."
I was staggered and asked, "How could Sebastian just kill Kaleb like that? Did he just die soeasily?"
It was too sudden. At first, I thought that Sebastian had somehow acquired a dead body fromelsewhere to deliberately confuse us. Nevertheless, I didn't expect that he would really kill a living
person, much less his own partner!
The car stopped outside the villa. Since we hadn't been back for a long period of time, Hendrix hadhired a cleaner. The cleaner was about to leave when we arrived.
Seeing that we were back, the cleaner looked at Hendrix and said, "Mr. Roberts, a tall and muscularman came here just now and said that he was looking for Arianna. He wanted me to give you amessage, which was to be careful!"
Looking for me?
I couldn't help but ask the cleaner about the man's appearance. She described it once, but I still hadno idea who the man was. So, I let her leave at that point.
