My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1678

The chances of Eddison being promoted before his retirement greatly depend on these two years. The people around him had tried their best to promote him to that position, but now it was different from 20 years ago. The higher his position was, the more attention he would receive. At present, everything he did had an emphasis on being public and transparent. Even a small mistake might be infinitely magnified.

Thus, Eddison wanted to use appeasement to temporarily placate Hendrix, so that he wouldn't get into trouble.

Most importantly, Hendrix was not Eddison's only enemy. In addition to the officials in lower positions like Charles, there was also a competitor at the same level as Eddison. Although it seemed that he had a higher chance to win now, both sides were cautiously taking every step, and dared not to make any mistakes.

"Eddison is just playing for time now. When he becomes superior, the first person he has to deal with is me. It's possible that he's already planning to get rid of me. Although you're my wife, you're also a member of the Reid family. Eddison tested you out in person because he's considering whether there's any need to kill you." When Hendrix analyzed it, his tone sounded relaxed.

In front of Eddison, I scoffed at Hendrix's past and looked determined. He even more firmly believed that I had the support of the Reid family and I had nothing to fear. This was enough to show my position in the Reid family. Once something happened, the Reid family would definitely not let him go, which was absolutely unfavorable to his future. In addition, there was the Moore family behind me. He would not have designs on me so soon.

Although I felt fortunate, I couldn't help but worry for Hendrix. He was different from me. Even if something really happened, the Reid and Moore families wouldn't have enough leverage to stand up for him.

"Hendrix." I pressed my lips together to suppress my uneasiness and asked, "Are you really sure about this whole thing?"

Facing a pack of wolves alone, there was no absolute safety.

Hearing the heavy sigh from the other side, Hendrix spoke with his magnetic voice, "Believe me, after everything is settled, I will bring you and the children back."

Without another word, he hung up the phone call.

After sitting for a while, I called Aaron and asked him to bring along the bodyguards to go to the hospital with me. I knew Eddison would not act rashly, but I dared not let the children take risks anymore.

That day was a critical day as well, on whether Ian would regain consciousness. I had to be there.

At the entrance of the hospital, I saw the car of the Clark family, and Sawyer also got out of his car the same time I did. He stood by the car for a while and looked at the hospital building with a serious look, thinking about something.

"Sawyer?" I stopped him and asked Aaron to help me over. "You are here."

Sawyer had no expression on his face. He turned to glance at me and uttered coldly, "Yeah, Silvia called me. Why didn't you inform me earlier?"

Aaron looked between us. He suddenly realized something. "You are the other man in the photo? Your relationship is really complicated."

"Aaron!" I pinched Aaron's arm hard to make him shut up, and then responded to Sawyer's words, "You are currently in charge of the Clark family. I thought you wouldn't come for the sake of the company and your family."

"Ian didn't worry so much when he got stabbed for you." Sawyer's words were full of thorns, making him feel like a prickly hedgehog.

Before I could react, Aaron grabbed Sawyer by the collar and lifted him up. "Can't you speak nicely? Apologize to Arianna!"
