My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 706

Not long after I talked to her, Evan's call came. I was slow to answer the phone.

A voice came through the phone, sounding a little hurried. "Madam, Hendrix is in a meeting now. The bodyguards told me that you met Chloe in the hospital. Can you go somewhere else with them first?"

I frowned and knew what he meant. The media was probably on an active lookout for me now, since Chloe had most likely revealed my whereabouts after our earlier quarrel.

After a pause, I said, "Alright, got it!"

After bidding Yana farewell, I quickly left. The few bodyguards that were guarding the door looked a little anxious and much more guarded than usual.

It was clear to see that Chloe had ousted the fact that I was at the hospital to the reporters.

I got into the car and a few cars followed us as soon as we got on the road. The people in the car began to take out their cameras, pointing them at our car, readying to snap whatever photos they could of me.

Although the bodyguards had winded up all the windows, this was an opportunity that rarely came by for the reporters - they wouldn't just give up the chase this easily.

Some fearless reporters overtook the car and started taking pictures of us from ahead of the car.

This, no doubt, would attract the attention of passers-by.

As Jarold City was infamous for its traffic jams, the bodyguards hastily turned into another junction, worried that an accident might await us if we were to use the main roads.

However, the commotion was so loud that it attracted the attention of many. The car was blocked before it could reach the place where Evan had instructed us to go.

The car was forced to a stop and a large group of people started surrounding the car.

The bodyguards were also troubled after seeing this. They immediately dialed for Evan.

"Make sure everyone stays in the car. Keep Madam protected and wait for me to come over!" Evan's voice boomed over the phone's speakers.

The bodyguards nodded and did as they were told.

I was so overwhelmed by the cursing outside the carthat I had a hard time breathing.

A stranger shouted right outside my door, "Arianna, what are you hiding from? You've done so many licentious things, even your own child fell victim to all this. Why are you still hiding? You've done so many bad things. What are you afraid of?"

Humans could be such terrible, venomous creatures. One really shan't speak rashly, unless they were ready to have their tongues cut off in hell.

After all, who knew what happened after death? One could very well be placed in purgatory after death, suffering eternally for their actions done when they were alive.

These spiteful and malicious words uttered by the masses were close to driving me mad. I watched as my body trembled before me.

The bodyguards started becoming increasingly restless. One of them said, "Alright then, I'll go down and deal with it."

As he spoke, he got out of the car.

But those outside were like hungry predators; they had been standing in front of the car for a long time, waiting for the moment someone finally got out.
