Was it a coincidence?
Probably not!
I looked around the hall, then looked back at Tobias who had caught up with me, and said, "Hendrix trusts you very much, but I don't. I don't know if the Moore Family can bankrupt you or not. However, I'm confident can make your life miserable!"
He knitted his brows as he glared at me and said, "What do you mean?"
I laughed coldly and answered, "Mr. Hayes, since you've set this trap, you should have investigated everyone thoroughly. It's very unprofessional of you to ignore me like that."
He pursed his lips. His face had darkened. "Who are you?"
I shrugged my shoulders and said with a faint smile, "How should I put it? I should introduce myself this way. My name is Arianna. I was born in a small county in Hovell. I wasn't raised by my parents, but by an old lady. As for my parents, they looked for me for many years, and we have finally reunited a few years ago. I've just found out that I am the daughter of Pedro, the person who plays both sides of the fence in Jarold City, and Valerie, the successful businesswoman. I am honored to be their daughter and do things according to their tradition. Sometimes I have to admit that it is very convenient!"
He frowned, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Wasn't the daughter Pedro found a Burton? You..."
I smiled and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. There was indeed a small mistake in the past. But later, to protect me, we just went with it."
He narrowed his eyes, which were filled with disbelief. I looked at him. "Why don't you take a gamble, Mr. Hayes? Let's see if I'm right or wrong?" I simply said, not feeling anxious at all.
Then, I gave Pedro a call. The phone rang for a few seconds before it was answered. It was Pedro's voice "Arianna, how's it going?"
Tobias's pupils constricted. He looked like he still had some doubts.
