My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 2193

"Whatever." The police officer sneered, "We'll see whether you can still keep that smile on your face the next time we meet again!”

He left indignantly after saying that.

Looking at his attitude really made us wonder if we had become enemies with him. People nowadays often look down at businessmen and would accuse us without any evidence. In their eyes, it seemed as though all the money that the Roberts Group earned throughout the years was made via illegal ways.

After making sure that they had all left Hendrix walked out of the cellar. His shoes stepped on the shattered glass and made creaking noises.

There was no heater in the cellar and the wind from outside blew in from time to time. It was very cold so I quickly asked Hendrix to change his clothes. "You're drenched. Go to the room and clean yourself up. Don't catch a cold now."

"It's fine." Hendrix looked at Anne with a serious expression on his face. "Quickly, get someone to move the remaining wine away immediately and find a secluded place to hide them in. They might still be of use in the future."

Anne and I looked in fear at the pile of baskets with what remained of our wine stock.

Hendrix didn't destroy all the wine after all, just enough to confuse the police. Most of the smuggled wines were still in their baskets. If the police had insisted and continued to search the place, we would have been arrested by now.

There was no time to think, so he took a chance and it paid off.

I was worried that the group of policemen would return, so I quickly urged Anne, "Hurry, do as your father says."

Anne was anxious but nodded at me. She then ordered the staff to call for the others. "Besides the security guards at the entrance and the cleaners, call everyone else in here and act natural. Do not alarm the reporters outside."

"Got it." The staff received the order and left.

Anne said, "Mommy, sorry for all the trouble today. Leave this to me. You and daddy should go to the manager's office upstairs and get some rest. I'll ask someone to send some clean clothes over. After I've dealt with the situation here, I'll head up and update you on things."

Hendrix calmly left the cellar. I then hinted at Anne to take it easy and then followed behind him.
