My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 657

The message sounded like a ridiculous prank.

I frowned and turned off the phone, then continued studying.

Kelsey's call followed right after. Her voice was laced with guilt as she asked, "Was it Mr. Roberts?"

I frowned. What was she trying to ask?

"What happened?"

Realising that I was still clueless, she explained, "Sierra had been gang-r*ped in her own home. The police are still investigating. The scene was gruesome."

I was stunned. Subconsciously, I closed the book in my hand and turned on the television.

Indeed, all eyes were on Sierra's death.

"Aren't you with Mr. Roberts?" Kelsey asked from the other end of the call.

I frowned and thought back to what she said at the start of the call. I replied coldly, "Hendrix wouldn't do such a despicable thing."

As if noticing the anger in my words, she quickly apologized.

Humans change. She had been in business for years. Thanks to that, she was now as sly as a fox.

We were no longer the same people we were before. I hung up and looked at the text message I received.

I called the number but no one picked up. After some thought, I decided to call Hendrix.

The call went through, and voices sounded from the other end. It sounded like he was in a meeting, "Arianna, what's the matter?"

His voice wasn't loud, but as soon as he spoke, all other voices piped down.

"What happened to Sierra?" I asked. I wasn't trying to accuse him, but I realized how accusatory my tone sounded, so I continued, "I received a very suspicious text message earlier."
