Chapter 168


    Sawyer hung up the phone, and I could only wait for him.


    I left the bedroom and went downstairs. Hendrix wasn''t there, and the vi felt hollow. I turned on all the


    lights.


    I searched for news updates in Jarold City on my phone, but nothing came up.


    About fifteen minutester, Sawyer called back. As soon as I picked up, he said, "I booked us flight


    tickets for seven in the morning. Are youing?"


    My heart missed a beat, "Yes!" My breathing became rapid, and I felt like my energy was drained out of


    me at that moment.


    My head was buzzing. I had a lot of questions in mind, but they were all stuck in my throat.


    After a long pause, he said over the phone, "They should be fine. I guess they''re just in the hospital for


    some minor injuries from the turbulence during the emergencynding. Don''t worry too much."


    I nodded and said, "Okay, I got it. See you tomorrow morning."


    I couldn''t go back to sleep after the phone call, so I sat in the living room, circling myself into an


    embrace. The vi felt empty. We were better off living in a smaller house.


    The vi was so huge that it could produce echoes. It was unbearable.


    The next four hours were awfully long.


    It was dawn when I packed some belongings with me and left the vi.


    When I arrived at the airport, Sawyer was already there with the flight tickets in hand.


    The airport wasn''t crowded in the morning, and most passengers were in a rush.


    Seeing me, Sawyer raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "There''s half an hour left. Let''s go


    through the security check first."


    Seeing his haggard face, I couldn''t help asking, "You didn''t sleepst night?"


    He nced at me with his eyebrows raised, "Ain''t that the same for you?"


    I didn''t say anything in response, silently agreed with him.


    There weren''t many passengers at the security check, so it didn''t take long to reach our turn. We


    handed our identity cards and tickets to the security personnel. But the security person checked my


    identity card and my face several times before asking with a strange expression, "Arianna Reid?"


    I nodded and saw that Sawyer had passed the security check. I looked at the staff and urged, "Can you


    hurry up? I''m in a hurry."


    After a long pause, the security officer looked at me and said, "Miss Reid, I''m sorry. You''ll have toe


    with us."


    Before I could react, two young men dressed in police uniforms walked up to me and held me between


    them as they brought me out.


    Sawyer immediately followed us and stood in front of the two men. He asked in confusion, "Sir, what is


    going on?"


    "We are from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. We have received a report that the Roberts Group

    is involved in manipting the market. Miss Reid, you have toe with us."


    After that, the two of them took me away.


    I had no idea what was going on at all.


    Sawyer stopped one of them and said, "If the Roberts Group is involved in something that serious, why


    are you only taking her away? She''s just an ordinary employee. You should be after the person in


    charge!"


    "Please don''t interfere with official duties. Miss Reid is an employee of the Roberts Group as well as


    the wife to the legal representative. She signed on most documents in the Roberts Group, and there


    are pieces of evidence to show that she is involved in this. Sir, if you have any questions, please seek a


    I was still puzzled, but I heard the conversation clearly. I looked at Sawyer, "Don''t worry. I''ll figure things


    out when I''m in Jarold City."


    If Hendrix couldn''t be there when the Roberts Group was involved in the alleged crime, I should step up


    for him before the situation worsened.


    Plus, I didn''t know if Austin and Josiah would be able to handle the crisis.
