My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 174

I signed the documents for the Roberts Group's auditing. And Advancer Tech was officially under my

name too. Those two were directly related to me.

If there was an incident or a major problem happened between those two, all they had to do was kick

me out and the Roberts Group could still operate as usual after that.

I couldn't help laughing out loud with a hint of sarcasm, "Mr. Shelley, this was a great move. I must give

you this!"

There wasn't a flaw at all in his plan to blatantly kick me out of the company.

He looked at me and said as his gaze fell deeply at my baby bump, "You don't have to be like this.

Even when you leave the Roberts Group, the company shares under your name will still be yours. You

just won't be in the company in person. Plus, you are giving birth soon. Either way, you're leaving the

company."

Yes, I would still be leaving in the end.

I laughed again, "It's true that I'll still be leaving. But do you think me leaving on my own will and me

being kicked out are the same thing?"

His face unreadable, and I controlled my temper and asked, "Does Hendrix know about this?"

He looked at me, and after a long pause, he nodded.

For a second there, I felt like someone was squeezing my heart with full force. It was so painful that I

felt like I couldn't breathe. And to think that I thought Pedro was the one behind that.

What a joke!

There was no coincidence or the right timing. Everyone knew about that, except for me.

In fact, Austin was right about what happened next.

The next day.

According to the Public Prosecutor Office's report, the problems with the Roberts Group's auditing were Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

influenced by Advancer Tech. The reports published in the international weekly magazine weren't true

as well.

Therefore, the audit had to be done again. Including the Roberts Group's auditing, which was done by

Brilliant Audit; and Shelley Group's auditing, which was done by Alford Audit. In addition to that, there

was also some penalty due to the commercial fraud. Fortunately, the Public Prosecutor Office

acknowledged the fact that the Roberts Group was crucial to Ucrebury's economic system, so they

didn't make that public and just settled that privately.

As for Advancer Tech, since I was the person in charge, I had to bear the penalty myself. That also

indirectly affected Hendrix.

Anyway, the problems were solved accordingly at the end of the day. The Roberts Group, which had

been paralyzed for more than half a week, finally got to operate normally.

As for me, just like Austin's prediction, I was publicly removed from the company and would no longer

be employed again.

I wouldn't say that I was sad. I knew the plot in advance, so I didn't fuss about the result even though I

knew I didn't deserve that.

I didn't return to the villa immediately after the incident died down. Since I was kicked out from the

Roberts Group and no longer had to go to work, I stayed in Bronzy Condo instead.

My belly had also grown bigger after the few eventful days.

I stopped asking about Hendrix. I simply decided to take care of the baby and myself while staying in

the condo.

On the weekend, Monique pestered me to accompany her to stay in Andoland for a few days. I agreed

to her since I had nothing to do.

Ucrebury and Andoland were very close. They were only an hour's drive apart. On the highspeed rail,

Monique looked at the scenery outside the window excitedly. She linked arms with me and said, "I paid

for the first installment for a house in Andoland. The renovation had just wrapped up. Come stay with

me for a few days in my new house to warm it up."

"When did you buy it? Why didn't you tell me?" I asked. I had too many things to deal with earlier, so I

didn't know what she was up to until she mentioned it.

She said while playing with her cell phone, "It hasn't been long. I was going to tell you, but you were

occupied. So I didn't want to bother you with it. It's the same even if I tell you now anyway."

Well, what Monique said was true.
