My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 1681

Emma did not know that he had such a temper. She thought that he had really been annoyed, so she spoke up for me. "I think you've misunderstood. Arianna did not mean to..."

Tobias cut her off without giving her a chance to finish, "So what if she's suspicious? There are people waiting to swap their health with me for other things. There are only women begging for mercy on my bed."

Well, I really provoked him.

I could have used Hendrix as a shield when I was in such a situation before. However, we had divorced on the surface at that moment and undoubtedly, I couldn't ask him for help.

After thinking for a while, I decided to continue to be shameless. "If you didn't come here, I would've forgotten about you completely as I've been staying at home recently. I forgot to sign the documents about the cooperation between my staff in the communication base station and your staff..."

Tobias's face fell immediately. He pushed the woman in his arms to the wicker chair beside him. He was annoyed yet embarrassed. "Fine, Arianna.

You win."

He spoke as he took out his cell phone from his pocket and unlocked it. Then, he pushed it to me, but he didn't let go. He put his well-defined fingers on the screen, raised his eyebrows and told me, "I came here for this. I'll give you special care, so you should make it easier for me. Let your people bring my people to work. If the business is delayed, they'll be taken away by the competitors."

I laughed as I felt that he was deliberately putting on a show. "Isn't that an exaggeration? There's still competition in the line of 'spies'?"

He scoffed and replied, "We never stop aiming for greater things. It's necessary to secure this position. Let's not talk about this. Just tell me if my people can go tomorrow, and give me a quick answer."

I pondered for a moment and lowered my head to look at the phone on the table. "Is it related to Irvin?"

"Yes," Tobias replied.

I didn't like to give up halfway, so I clicked on the last voice message. It was from the same man. "Irvin seems to want to get in touch with them. It's very likely that his wife and daughter are in their hands. Mr. Hayes, we've been tracking them for half a year now. Irvin is getting more and more wary of us. Why don't you get another team to track him?"

The man's final words showed that he had no hope of finding Irvin.

Putting down the phone, I had an unspeakable feeling. This was not good news.

In Mesville, which was a totally new place, even if Irvin could find a way to take care of himself, how about Shirley and her child? Could they escape safely?

It was common knowledge that Tobias' men roamed around. If even they felt hopeless, would Irvin still have a chance to come back alive?
