My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1207

The lady at the front desk blinked at me in astonishment before taking the money and nodded repeatedly. She was very efficient. In a short while, she had fruits and cakes distributed to the people who had created a scene in the hall. Except for the security guards who were guarding the elevator entrance, all the other security guards helped in distributing food and had sat down naturally amongst the crowd, starting to chat with them.

It happened to be around lunchtime so reporters were beginning to show up one after another. Due to to the lessons learned from the previous time, the reporters who came were pretty restrained.

After a while, the lady at the front desk ran to me, and said frantically, "Mrs. Roberts, these people are not Sonia's relatives at all. Someone paid them a hundred dollars a day to come here and create a ruckus. These people are all strangers who dance in the park. When they heard that they'd get a hundred dollars a day, some of them even brought their grandchildren here, to get more money."

Upon hearing that, I was stunned for a moment. I originally thought that these people would at least have had some kind of relationship with Sonia's family, but now it seemed that the people behind this simply wanted to create some trouble for the Roberts Group.

After a moment of silence, I said, "Think of a way to record a video of them, and then give them twice the money to make them leave. Tell them that they should tell other people that Sonia has committed suicide. As for the rest, as long as it does not affect the interests of the Roberts Group, just let them say whatever they want."

The lady at the front desk nodded and left. I couldn't help but wonder who would go through so much trouble to smear the Roberts's reputation. What did the other party want?

Quite a few people in the hall had left one after another. The lady at the front desk gave me the recorded video and said, "Mrs. Roberts, those people have already left, and Sonia's parents are the only ones left. You are really smart. The people in the hall became quiet in an instant. Those ill-intentioned reporters came in vain today, and they even helped to publicize the company!"

I smiled faintly and my gaze fell on Sonia's four-year-old child in the hall. The child looked a little frail. I didn't know if I was overthinking it, but I had a feeling there was something about the child that made me wary.

I looked back at the lady at the front desk and said, "Thank you for today. Please send me the video. By the way, what's your name?"

The lady blushed as she exchanged contacts with me, and replied in a slightly agitated tone, "Mrs. Roberts, my name is Estella Zanes. You can just call me Stella. It's my honor to be able to help you, Mrs. Roberts."

I smiled and saved her contact After a while, I received the video she sent.

"Oh no, this is not good!" In an instant, the originally quiet hall suddenly became noisy again.

I looked up and saw Sonia's parents crying in pain. Then, I looked toward Estella and said, "Go and check it out!"

She trotted over and pulled the people surrounding Sonia's parents away while I followed behind her.

The child who was playing on the sofa in the hall had fainted. His face was drained of color, and he was bleeding from his nose, there were no signs of external injuries.
