Chapter 1272
Linda was not stupid. After she heard what I said, she looked at me and asked, "Is the incident in
Oand rted to the Roberts Group?"
I didn''t intend to hide it from her. I answered, "The Milton family wanted to get their hands on the
management of foreign trade of Oand, but the Hayes family had handed over the authority to
Hendrix. So, they kidnapped Hendrix and tried to force him to sign the contract to transfer the
authority, but it didn''t work. Atst, they were investigated by the police."
Her face was pale and her brows were furrowed. For a moment, she could not say anything.
Rowane nced at Hendrix with worry and concern in her dark eyes. However, she didn''t ask
anything. Instead, she looked at Linda and said, "It seems that the Milton family are willing to do
anything to make money!"
Linda was silent. After a while, she looked at Hendrix and said, "Mr. Roberts, I know I can''t change
your decision, but I will do my best to protect the Milton Group''s project in Asherton."
Hendrix nced at her and didn''t answer. He just looked at Rowane and said, "Contact the police
and thewyer now!"
Then, he pulled me out of the warehouse.
In the car, I held back for a long time, but I still couldn''t help but ask, "Hendrix, did you already know
about this incident at Lancille Vige before today?"
Rowane mentioned that a mistake had urred during the construction process, which led to the
back wall being smashed identally and the warehouse was discovered. However, I knew that the
back of the base was off-limits to everyone. No one would drive the excavator there unless they
were ordered to do so.
He drove the car and stared at the road ahead. He smiled and said, "I knew it after you told me."
I pursed my lips and asked, "Then why didn''t you expose it at that time? Why did you wait until
now?"
He looked at me and answered, "If I had exposed him at that moment, Sebastian would havee
up with a bigger conspiracy and I would have to spend more time trying to outsmart him. So, I
chose to follow his n, so that at least I knew what wasing!"
Seeing that he was still looking at me while driving, I shouted, "Keep your eyes on the road. Don''t
look at me!"
I paused for a while and said, "So when you were in Oand, you knew that something would
happen. That''s why when you found out that Sebastian wasing to Oand, you decided to
return immediately."
He nodded and said, "However, I didn''t expect him to move so fast. That''s why I was abducted by
him."

No wonder that he didn''t seem to care when he was gambling with Kaleb in the casino. It turned out
that he knew his opponent was not Kaleb. Thinking about Kaleb, I couldn''t help but ask, "Can you
believe that Kaleb died just like that?"
He pursed his lips and replied, "The body at the police station in Oand had been confirmed as
Kaleb. The DNA results matched."
I was staggered and asked, "How could Sebastian just kill Kaleb like that? Did he just die so
easily?"
It was too sudden. At first, I thought that Sebastian had somehow acquired a dead body from
elsewhere to deliberately confuse us. Nevertheless, I didn''t expect that he would really kill a living
person, much less his own partner!
The car stopped outside the vi. Since we hadn''t been back for a long period of time, Hendrix had
hired a cleaner. The cleaner was about to leave when we arrived.
Seeing that we were back, the cleaner looked at Hendrix and said, "Mr. Roberts, a tall and muscr
man came here just now and said that he was looking for Arianna. He wanted me to give you a
message, which was to be careful!"
Looking for me?
I couldn''t help but ask the cleaner about the man''s appearance. She described it once, but I still had
no idea who the man was. So, I let her leave at that point.
