If I were to admit to such claims right then, my reputation would be greatly damaged.
Seeing that I was no longer in panic, the woman laughed instead and said, "Fine, if Miss Reid doesn't want to talk with me, then please seek a lawyer to get you out so that you can discuss this with the shareholders in the Roberts Group and Ucrebury."
"Of course I will. You don't have to worry about that," I replied.
She didn't detain me any further since she failed to get anything out of me. She allowed me to leave as soon as I found a lawyer to go through with some procedures.
After I left the Public Prosecutor Office, I headed straight back to the company. I was not sure about the details, but I knew, as a fact, that the problem going on with the Roberts Group was definitely not that simple.
As I approached the Roberts Group's building, I saw a huge crowd surrounding the main entrance.
I didn't get out of the car. I called Josiah on the phone again, but he didn't answer.
Then I called Austin and, fortunately, he picked up.
I went straight to the point. "Mr. Shelley, I need you to explain about the four lives at the Advancer Tech!"
He replied in a low tone, "Arianna, I think you should be concerned about whether Hendrix can survive instead."
I was driven to the edge when I heard what he said, "Am I responsible for him going to Jarold City? Was the last traffic accident not enough for him? Mr. Shelley, don't you dare tell me you didn't know what's happening to the Roberts Group!"
"I have already sent someone to handle that. But then, your signature was evident on Advancer Tech's documents. You're also clearly aware that Master Roberts transferred the fifteen percent shares to you. As for the signatures for the southern district, they were indeed yours. They were Hendrix's decision, so you can ask him if he comes out alive from the O.R.!" he answered.
After that, he added, "Arianna, I'd like to give you a piece of advice. Sometimes, you just have to learn to let go of things."
"What do you mean?" I felt like I was trapped in an endless hole.
"I'll hang up first," He said before ending the call. I sat on the driver's seat in confusion.
I felt uncertain as I saw the crowd surrounding the Roberts Group's building.
