My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 537

Nerissa nearly sat on the floor when she saw Haward, who had been beaten miserably.

Hendrix pinched the muscle between his eyebrows. Then he looked at Haward and said, "Repeat what

you just said."

Haward was relieved knowing his family members were safe. His mind became clearer as he calmed

down.

"Five days ago, I was requested by Madam Roberts to carry out a mission. In return, she would give

me 30,000 dollars. Normally, I wouldn't have agreed to do that. But my fiancee is pregnant. Her parents

had asked for 300,000 dollars worth of betrothal gifts. If I can't give them the money, they will take the

baby away."

He took a heavy breath and continued, "My parents have been farmers for their whole life. They had

recently borrowed a lot of money to build a new house so they cannot afford it. I agreed to take on the

mission because of the money."

"Nonsense!" Nerissa went furious, "You're lying. I didn't call you. I didn't give you the money."

Haward looked at her and said, "You put 300,000 dollars cash in the Sapphire Ferrari. The money is

still in the car. The car key was placed at the corner of the Granger Manor's gate because you were

afraid of being discovered."

"I haven't used the money at all. You can see it for yourself. There's no need for me to lie!"

Hendrix looked at Evan and he didn't say anything. Evan nodded and said, "We found 300,000 dollars

without serial numbers in the car. We were unable to trace the origin as it was not withdrawn from the

bank."

Nerissa looked at Hendrix, nearly broke down, "Hendrix, I'm your aunt. I have no reason to harm your

wife. You can't take his words for real."

Evan went forward and handed a mobile phone to Hendrix. He said, "Miss Nerissa met Miss Andrea

once at Ucrebury."

Hendrix turned to look at Nerissa after checking the call history. He asked coldly, "Why did you come to

Ucrebury?"

Nerissa's face turned pale. She answered, "I... I'm here to see father."

"Why did you meet Andrea?" Hendrix was getting impatient.

Nerissa's body trembled a little, "She asked to meet her. She knew that it was me who gave out the

things to Arianna. She threatened me to get Arianna out, or she would tell Valerie what I did." "Huh!"

Hendrix sneered, but he didn't say anything.

Hendrix turned to me after a long time. He frowned slightly when he saw I didn't touch the juice and

cake. He asked, "You don't like it?"

I shook my head and answered, "No!"

"Are you tired?" He reached out to grab my hands.

I nodded. What would Hendrix do if Nerissa was involved. I could not predict the outcome of the

investigation.novelbin

Andrea was involved, too. For Hendrix, Nerissa was family and Andrea was his responsibility. He

cannot proceed further no matter how much he resents them.

I felt a little tired. I said, "Hendrix, please send me back."

Hendrix nodded. He glanced at Haward and Nerissa before instructing Evan, "Leave them to the

police."

Nerissa startled. Her eyes were filled with fear, "Hendrix, you can't do this without any evidence."

Hendrix looked at her, "We will resolve the problem differently once the police finish their investigation."

Resolve the problem differently.

Nerissa sat helplessly on the ground. She did not know what to do next.

I got into a car after leaving the factory. I closed my eyes and leaned against the car seat, feeling

extremely tired.

I felt the warmth in my hand. It was from Hendrix. He held my hand tight as he ignited the car engine.

He said coldly, "Don't worry, everything will be fine!"

I pressed my lips together. Who could it have been? I asked myself.
