My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

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.

On our way out, some of the staff were running about in a hurry, one after another.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

While waiting for the elevator, Hendrix glanced at the entrance. He was checking to see if the police car had driven away.

Hendrix took a shower. Then, Anne

came into the room and looked frightened, as though she had done something wrong. She didn't dare to sit down. Instead, she walked over to the sofa and started apologizing to us, "I'm sorry, daddy. I wasn't cautious enough and almost ruined the entire thing. I will take full responsibility for this."

Just like before, she was rational and kept a safe distance from us with her unusual sense of restraint.

At this moment, it was like I heard a message from god. All our previous efforts had been in vain. Anne's calm and indifferent behavior had already been ingrained into her bones. She wouldn't reveal her real feelings to her.

She had really inherited Josiah's forbearance.

Hendrix obviously didn't notice any of these details. He only paid attention to the matter itself. "I just want to know, how are you going to solve this?"

After a brief moment of silence,

Anne replied, will terminate the manager who was behind this and

bar him from working with us ever again. At the same time, I will

investigate the personal

el.n

relationships of all the staff members to ensure that this will never happen again. I will also increase our monitoring efforts so that we can deal with any future emergencies at any time."

I nodded silently, I recognized that it wasn't easy to come up with those three solutions so quickly.

However, Hendrix wasn't satisfied. He raised his eyes and asked strictly, "That's all?"

There was an obvious look of surprise in Anne's eyes. She frowned for a moment and then looked quite helpless. "I'm sorry, daddy. I haven't thought of any other solutions yet."

She had already apologized to us twice now and the mood in the room shifted. Hendrix always applied pressure to his subordinates and now he was treating Anne in the very same way.

It was hard for him to change the way he treated his subordinates. He wouldn't even realize he was doing it. I could only ease the tension by saying jokingly, "Well, it's all over now. We're just discussing things. Why so serious?"

"Anne is still young and very inexperienced. You are a senior in this matter. Don't keep us guessing and get straight to the point."
