My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 2276

I nodded to agree but also mentioned my concerns, "I can't show up at the Stone family now. Jordan probably wants to test if I would give my all and do anything for Hendrix. That was why he attacked the Stone family."

If we wanted to win this battle, we had to be patient and not meet at all. Besides, we had to avoid financial connections, and all evidence must be complete and in order. If he ever found out anything, there wouldn't be another good chance to gain his trust anymore.

Hendrix and I won't have enough power to fight this battle, so Aaron and Reid must join us as well. I said, "Although we can't prove that I am the same Arianna, both fingerprints and signatures are legally effective. I'll sign a document later and send it to Emma's house. Then you'll bring it to Roberts Group and ask for help. Pretend to sabotage Hendrix. When Jordan sees this, he'll think that we're fighting against each other. Most probably, he'll lose his attention on us, and it'll be more convenient for us to take action in the future."

"That's right. It's better to be more cautious." Emma sighed and suddenly thought of something. She asked, "If we're doing it, we better go all out on this. Shall we wait for a bigger crowd before we start acting our arguing scene?"

"Hahaha!" Aaron laughed and joked, "I don't think that's necessary. Wouldn't it be too exaggerated? We should keep it simple to avoid mistakes as doing too much will attract attention."

After hearing what both of them said, the atmosphere became less tense. I admired Aaron as he was always optimistic no matter what problems he faced.

I walked them to the elevator and didn't follow them back. Aaron would stay at the Stone family's house and try to stop me by using his injuries as an excuse. We would make others think he failed, and we ended up arguing.

On the way home, I received a call from the nurse who took care of Evan.

"Miss Reid, Mr. Garland is missing!"

My heart sank, but I had to calm down and ask what had happened, "Calm down and tell me what has happened."

"It's not my fault. Mr. Garland said that he didn't like the food at the hospital, so he asked me to go out and buy for him. He was gone when I came back after about half an hour. Miss Reid, please don't deduct my salary. I still need the money to take care of my old folks and family." "Forget it. If Evan wants to leave, no one can stop him. It's not your fault. I'll pay you your salary as agreed. You can go home now."

After hanging up the phone, I frowned and thought about Evan's actions.

He should be resting at the hospital and taking this opportunity to quit the drug addiction. It was a good chance, so why did he run away and make me look like a villain?

Maybe they had other plans in mind. After what happened with the Stone family, I learned that Jordan was never someone with a plan. If Hendrix wanted to fight, he had to attack when Jordan least expected it.

Since I couldn't figure it out, all I could do was to believe him.

For three days in a row, the news had been reporting about the attack on the Stone family's finances. In the end, Aaron had to use his power from the Reid Group to join as a shareholder to stabilize the uncertain share situation and stop the Stone family from further losses.

Just when everyone thought that the battle between the two families would come to an end, the stock attackers appeared again the next day and caused the Stone family to lose their newly bought share.

I had been paying attention to the news the whole time. When I noticed that something was wrong, I feared that Jordan would launch a final attack to get rid of the family once and for all. So I called Aaron in a hurry.

He quickly picked up my call. He did not sound worried. "What's wrong, Arianna?"
