My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1272

Linda was not stupid. After she heard what I said, she looked at me and asked, "Is the incident in Oakland 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 the management of foreign trade of Oakland, but the Hayes family had handed over the authority to Hendrix. So, they kidnapped Hendrix and tried to force him to sign the contract to transfer the authority, 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 ask anything. Instead, she looked at Linda and said, "It seems that the Milton family are willing to do anything to make money!"

Linda was silent. After a while, she looked at Hendrix and said, "Mr. Roberts, I know I can't change your 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 police and 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 know about this incident at Lancille Village before today?"

Rowane mentioned that a mistake had occurred during the construction process, which led to the back wall being smashed accidentally and the warehouse was discovered. However, I knew that the back of the base was off-limits to everyone. No one would drive the excavator there unless they were 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."

I pursed my lips and asked, "Then why didn't you expose it at that time? Why did you wait until now?"
