Chapter 1206


    I frowned and couldn''t help but ask, "Hendrix asked me to look into Sonia''s family and rtionships


    yesterday. Have you found out anything? What is the rtionship between her and that child?"


    He nodded and said, "That child is her daughter. She is four years old. Sonia is a single mother.


    She got pregnant when she was still in college, we don''t know who is the father of the child yet. Her


    parents are just ordinary workers, and both of them are retired. Her family circumstances are not


    dire, but she has an older brother who is a gambling addict. Over the years, he gambled away his


    parents'' pension and house. Now, the four of them live in a small rented house, and their lives are


    difficult."


    This could exin why Soniamitted suicide and why the elderly couple came immediately to


    ask for apensation. After all, the whole family lived on Sonia''s sry. They had already been


    living a rtively difficult life before her death. Now that she is gone, they were afraid that they


    couldn''t survive.

    After thinking for a while, I looked at Evan and said, "You didn''t sleep a winkst night. Why don''t


    you go back to your office to catch some sleep first? Leave this to me."


    He paused for a moment and said, "I''m okay. I..."


    I looked at him and said seriously, "Evan, although I haven''t been in the Roberts Group for the past


    few years, it doesn''t mean that I don''t know anything. Moreover, what''s happening in the hall is a


    civil dispute. There is nothing to do with the business at all. I can handle it. You can go and rest,


    okay?"


    He hesitated for a moment, but still wanted to say something. At this time, his cell phone rang. He


    answered the phone with embarrassment. It seemed to be his wife''s voice,ing from the other


    end of the line. "Hubby, the baby has a fever. Hurry up ande back."


    Upon hearing this, his face changed. He looked at me and said, "Mrs. Roberts, I''ll leave this to you.


    Something urgent came up at home. I need to go home first. I''ll be back soon."


    I nodded and reminded him to be careful.


    After Evan left, I headed to the hall. There were more than a dozen people standing in the hall, both


    men and women, old and young. They were holding a banner, which had written, "A life for a life.


    Repay your debts."


    It seemed truly chaotic. Thedies at the front desk were trembling in fear because of the crowd.


    They were afraid that they would get beaten up if they said something wrong.


    Looking at this group of people, I couldn''t help thinking that fortunately, Sonia''s body had already


    been taken away by the funeral parlor. If this had happened in the olden days, these people would


    probably have carried her coffin and ced it here for the show, asking forpensation while


    crying and screaming.


    The security guards were standing at the entrance to the elevator, to prevent them from barging into


    the office area, which would disrupt the workers.


    I got out of the elevator and looked at this group of people who were already starting to get


    exhausted from making noise. I walked to the front desk, and asked the staff, "Did any reporters


    come today?"


    Logically speaking, there should be more reporters today than yesterday. Why weren''t there any


    reporters today?


    The receptionist looked at me nkly for a moment before saying, "It''s still early. Generally, they


    come at noon or night. At that time, it will be peak business hours. Mr. Roberts would only pass by


    the hall then."


    I was stunned at their craftiness. These reporters wanted to interview Hendrix. As for the families of


    the deceased, it depends on who was the best ating up with a story after they''d finished taking


    pictures.


    Looking at the group of people in the hall, I took out a few thousand dors from my bag and said to


    the front deskdy, "Get someone to buy some fruits and cakes, and then arrange for people to give


    it to them, Also, buy some toys for the kids. It would be better if you can chat with them. If there is a


    chance, try to get information out of them and find out why they came here in such a hurry, and


    whether anyone is behind it. Remember to ask some trusted reporters to take photos."
