My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1162

He frowned and said, "A substitute? A tool to vent my feelings? I have been in love with you for so many years. And that's what you think of it?"

"Isn't that so?" I sneered, the anger in my heart burned immensely. "Do you think I don't know why you are unwilling to let me go? It's because I am a daughter of the Moore Family, and I am Charles's goddaughter. By being with me, you have free access anywhere in Jarold City, all across the country, and even abroad! Hendrix, why do you pretend to love me? Even if we break up, the Moore and Reid families will not go after you. You want Andrea, and you can't let her go just like that, so go find her openly. No need for all this stealthy nonsense. I don't care at all."

"You don't care?" He suddenly laughed, "Alright then!"

He stared at me with a pair of bloodthirsty eyes. His gaze burned with anger and insufferable coldness. He clenched his fists tightly. In the quiet room, I felt close to suffocating from his vicious aura.

I thought he would hit me, but he just clenched his fist and stared at me coldly.

We stood facing each other for a long time. Finally after several minutes, he bellowed loudly, "Fine!"

"Bang!" He slammed the door angrily. The sturdy high- end door trembled and the whole house seemed like it would collapse any moment.

It was going to be a long and sleepless night!

Although I did not sleep well, I had an appointment to go to Lancille Village for a security inspection, so I had to get up early.

When I arrived, Rowane and Irvin were both already there. I thought they would send a representative of the inspection team to come, and did not expect Irvin would come in person.

Rowane was grumbling with displeasure because of my tardiness. I did not blame her since I was at fault.

"Let's go now. Miss Reid, you're indeed the wife of the president. You can come fashionably late and think that others should wait on you. You know, Mr. Roberts is not short of money. If you are not capable at your work, then just stay home. Don't bother coming!"

I pursed my lips and ignored Rowane's statement. I took the project index book from Hugo, then looked at Irvin and said, "Mr. Granger, let's go through it together. This way, we both would get a clearer picture of the matter!"

Irvin nodded and glanced at Rowane without saying anything. After a moment of silence, he looked at me and said, "Have you been overworked recently? Why do you look so worn out?"

I shook my head and said with a faint smile, "No, it's just that I didn't sleep well. It's nothing serious."

After all, it was a security inspection of the projects. This matter involved several companies, so it couldn't be taken lightly. From morning to noon, everyone checked through the security processes of several bases.

Throughout, the three of us worked together to ensure high efficiency. By noon, we were so exhausted that we had to take a rest at the lounge outside the base.

It was time for lunch. After resting for a few minutes, everyone went to eat. I was so tired that I didn't want to chat. After all, I had not slept well the night before, and felt a bit sleepy.
