Chapter 657


    The message sounded like a ridiculous prank.


    | frowned and turned off the phone, then continued studying.


    Kelsey''s call followed right after. Her voice wasced with guilt as she asked, "Was it Mr. Roberts?"


    | frowned. What was she trying to ask?


    “What happened?"


    Realising that | was still clueless, she exined, "Sierra had been gang-r*ped in her own home. The police are still investigating.


    The scene was gruesome.”


    | was stunned. Subconsciously, | closed the book in my hand and turned on the television.


    Indeed, all eyes were on Sierra''s death.


    “Aren''t you with Mr. Roberts?" Kelsey asked from the other end of the call.


    | frowned and thought back to what she said at the start of the call. | replied coldly, "Hendrix wouldn''t do such a despicable


    thing."


    As if noticing the anger in my words, she quickly apologized.


    Humans change. She had been in business for years. Thanks to that, she was now as sly as a fox.


    We were no longer the same people we were before. | hung up and looked at the text message | received.


    | called the number but no one picked up. After some thought, | decided to call Hendrix.


    The call went through, and voices sounded from the other end. It sounded like he was in a meeting, "Arianna, what''s the


    matter?"


    His voice wasn''t loud, but as soon as he spoke, all other voices piped down.


    “What happened to Sierra?" | asked. | wasn''t trying to use him, but | realized how usatory my tone sounded, so |


    continued, "| received a very suspicious text message earlier."


    "Don''t worry about it. Her contract with the Roberts Group had been terminated. Everything from here on out has nothing to do


    with thepany. Don''t overthink it,” he said in a low, raspy voice.


    | paused and nodded. It wasn''t the time to go into it, so we hung up.


    | felt that something was off about the mysterious message. After some deliberation, | decided to redial the number.


    However, the phone was still turned off.


    The doorbell outside the vi rang. | got up, went downstairs, and opened the door.


    It was Nerissa.


    As soon as | opened the door, she pped me before | could even react.
