My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 1411

He looked back at me and said, "I'm really grateful that you helped me last time. If you have any questions now, ask me quickly. I will tell you everything I know. After that, we will have nothing to do with each other again in the future."

I froze for a moment. I did not understand what he meant. When I saw that he was looking at me impatiently with a frown, I could not help but think that I was too naive in the past.

After remaining silent for a moment, I said, "What are you doing in Asherton now? Do you know that Kaleb is dead?"

He pursed his lips and said, "I already heard about what happened to Mr. Becker. You saw what I'm doing in Asherton just now. It's the same as what Tiago does."

I frowned and said, "But, you know that this is against the law!"

He answered with a mumble and said nonchalantly, "I know, but humans are willing to die for money, just like how birds will for food. It's not easy for foreigners like us to make a living in Asherton. We all need money to survive."

For a moment I was speechless upon hearing his words. I was unable to refute what he said. It was not easy for everyone to make a living. After all, we all needed money to survive.

"Is it really like what they said, as long as you have money, you are willing to do anything, even kill?" I opened my mouth, not knowing how to ask these questions.

He couldn't help but frown. Obviously, he had little regard for my question. After a moment of silence, he said, "Go home. It's not safe here."

I wanted to continue asking, but he had already left.

Then he hung up the phone. I was stunned when I realized that he had hung up on me. How could he just hang up like this?

I put down my phone and headed back to the villa. Just as Hendrix said on the phone, he was sitting in the living room. It seemed that he had just returned home as well. His dark eyes slightly froze when he saw me.

Then he pursed his lips and stared at me. He looked like a pouting child when he asked, "Why did you call me?"

He was obviously still angry with me. I opened my mouth slightly, walked to his side and said, "I met up with Sebastian when I was in Jarold City. I think you probably already knew that. I found Abby through the contact that Sebastian gave me. Hendrix, I really didn't mean to hide this from you. I just didn't want you to overthink, so I didn't tell you all these."
