Chapter 174
I signed the documents for the Roberts Group''s auditing. And Advancer Tech was officially under my
name too. Those two were directly rted to me.
If there was an incident or a major problem happened between those two, all they had to do was kick
me out and the Roberts Group could still operate as usual after that.
I couldn''t helpughing out loud with a hint of sarcasm, "Mr. Shelley, this was a great move. I must give
you this!"
There wasn''t a w at all in his n to tantly kick me out of thepany.
He looked at me and said as his gaze fell deeply at my baby bump, "You don''t have to be like this.
Even when you leave the Roberts Group, thepany shares under your name will still be yours. You
just won''t be in thepany in person. Plus, you are giving birth soon. Either way, you''re leaving the
Yes, I would still be leaving in the end.
Iughed again, "It''s true that I''ll still be leaving. But do you think me leaving on my own will and me
being kicked out are the same thing?"
His face unreadable, and I controlled my temper and asked, "Does Hendrix know about this?"
He looked at me, and after a long pause, he nodded.
For a second there, I felt like someone was squeezing my heart with full force. It was so painful that I
felt like I couldn''t breathe. And to think that I thought Pedro was the one behind that.
What a joke!
There was no coincidence or the right timing. Everyone knew about that, except for me.
In fact, Austin was right about what happened next.
The next day.
ording to the Public Prosecutor Office''s report, the problems with the Roberts Group''s auditing were
influenced by Advancer Tech. The reports published in the international weekly magazine weren''t true

as well.
Therefore, the audit had to be done again. Including the Roberts Group''s auditing, which was done by
Brilliant Audit; and Shelley Group''s auditing, which was done by Alford Audit. In addition to that, there
was also some penalty due to themercial fraud. Fortunately, the Public Prosecutor Office
acknowledged the fact that the Roberts Group was crucial to Ucrebury''s economic system, so they
didn''t make that public and just settled that privately.
As for Advancer Tech, since I was the person in charge, I had to bear the penalty myself. That also
indirectly affected Hendrix.
Anyway, the problems were solved ordingly at the end of the day. The Roberts Group, which had
been paralyzed for more than half a week, finally got to operate normally.
As for me, just like Austin''s prediction, I was publicly removed from thepany and would no longer
be employed again.
I wouldn''t say that I was sad. I knew the plot in advance, so I didn''t fuss about the result even though I
knew I didn''t deserve that.
I didn''t return to the vi immediately after the incident died down. Since I was kicked out from the
Roberts Group and no longer had to go to work, I stayed in Bronzy Condo instead.
My belly had also grown bigger after the few eventful days.
I stopped asking about Hendrix. I simply decided to take care of the baby and myself while staying in
the condo.
On the weekend, Monique pestered me to apany her to stay in Andnd for a few days. I agreed
to her since I had nothing to do.
Ucrebury and Andnd were very close. They were only an hour''s drive apart. On the highspeed rail,
Monique looked at the scenery outside the window excitedly. She linked arms with me and said, "I paid
for the first installment for a house in Andnd. The renovation had just wrapped up. Come stay with
me for a few days in my new house to warm it up."
"When did you buy it? Why didn''t you tell me?" I asked. I had too many things to deal with earlier, so I
didn''t know what she was up to until she mentioned it.
She said while ying with her cell phone, "It hasn''t been long. I was going to tell you, but you were
upied. So I didn''t want to bother you with it. It''s the same even if I tell you now anyway."
Well, what Monique said was true.
