My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 372

Kelsey was trembling while keeping her hands close to her body. Seeing her, I asked, "Why didn't you wait inside since the weather's freezing?"

She smiled, and her eyes looked a little bleak. "I... was waiting for you." I didn't question it, seeing that she looked a little poor.

Bridge House was no high- end place. Previously, while Kelsey worked in the Roberts Group, she was paid quite handsomely that she would not need to care about splurging on luxuries once in a while.

But now...

I couldn't quite figure out what was going on with her. She was capable of fending for herself with her skills even if she was jobless on top of enduring Calvin's mistreatment. Somehow, she was in a desolate, helpless position.

We ordered a meal after settling down in Bridge House. Kelsey stole glances at me, wanting to speak but at the same time didn't know where to start.

I paused and took the initiative to speak. "Kelsey, you're looking for me because..."

"Director Reid, do you still remember the incident when you were kidnapped at the underground parking lot?" Kelsey spoke frankly.

I was surprised that she knew about it. There was only a handful of people who knew about it, and that excludes her.

"Calvin told you about it?" At that time, I remembered seeing him because Alford Audit wanted Roberts Group's audit. I reckoned that Austin and Andrea were both involved in this as well.

At that time, I didn't want to make this a big issue since I assumed it would neither matter nor have a lasting impact.

She shook her head. The thick foundation she lathered on her face could not cover up her haggard look. "I overheard it. Have you ever thought about how many people knew how you conspired to fake a miscarriage with Richard in order to detach yourself from Mr. Roberts?"

I shook my head and sighed. "Josiah had no reason to do it." Josiah wouldn't gain anything from doing something like this even though he owned some shares. Although he fancied Andrea, I was pretty sure that he wouldn't do such a thing to me for her.

Kelsey got a little anxious seeing my reaction. "Then, you should ask what happened between Hendrix and Josiah a long time ago. Maybe then, you'll believe me."

There was a lot to take in that I couldn't help frowning. "Kelsey, I understand that you want to leave Calvin, but you don't have to do it in such a manner. I don't care about the past anymore."

Compared to the pain of losing my child, the kidnapping was nothing compared to it.

"Do you believe that Josiah and the Moore Family are working together to set up a huge trap for Hendrix? If I'm not wrong, Alford Audit's CEO had probably consulted you about working together with the Roberts Group. They wanted to continue not for the money but to destroy the Roberts Group completely. They need to start infiltrating Roberts Group internal management to destroy it."
