Chapter 1615


    The smile froze on my face. I didn''t know what to say.


    I could hear Hendrix''s footsteps. He came over and hugged me from behind. Raiya let go of her


    hand naturally and took a step back.


    She gasped, "Oh, Hendrix, you''re here with Arianna."


    "Mhm." Hendrix nodded, his expression indifferent.


    Raiya didn''t notice that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between us. She


    congratted us, "You both are so enviable. Now that you''re pregnant, things will definitely get


    better in the future!"


    "Pregnant?" Hendrix took away the ultrasound image from my hand and observed it with a smile


    blossoming on his face, but it was neither faint nor wide. No one could guess the emotions in his


    eyes.


    I turned to look at him with my eyebrows slightly lifted. "Are you happy?"


    The day I was pregnant with our child was the day Irvin''s family was destroyed, and the day Hendrix


    was going to acquire Granger Group.


    Hendrix''s smile widened. His voice was charming. "Of course, this is what we''ve always wanted."


    He gently pinched my shoulder as if tofort or express his sincerity. I felt a chill down my spine


    as if I''d fallen down an icy cliff.


    I didn''t know what kind of expression I had when I returned to the vi. I turned on theputer and


    searched for Granger Group''s acquisition case. Sitting at theputer desk, I trembled all over.


    "The Granger Group CEO has been missing for half a month. The group has no leader, and its


    performance is declining. A corporation from Mesville offered to acquire it with the price of two


    billion and fifty million dors..."

    "Roberts Group joined in the bidding, and together with the government policy, they finally gavel.8


    billion dors. Both parties arepeting for Granger Group, while they can do nothing..."


    1.8 billion.


    Granger Group''s business was uncountable in Jarold City. Even if it was only in the city, it was far


    more than that, not to mention their business all over the country. GW Group was ruthless. Hendrix


    was even more ruthless. He was adding insult to injury.


    In the morning a few days ago, Hendrix even promised face to face that he would help Irvin. In less


    than a week, Roberts Group had joined the bidding for Granger Group, and saved a lot of money for


    himself by taking advantage of the government.


    The media referred to Hendrix as bid- rigging decisive to buy the country''s property. His courage


    and ability were rare.


    However, the media did not know that it was Irvin who had saved my life. The reason why Granger


    Group had lost their leader was that Irvin had gone to protect his missing wife and child. All of that


    might have been part of GW Group''s n. Not only did Hendrix not help Irvin, but he also


    cooperated with the government to pressure him. He nned to take Granger Group into his


    possession.


    Looking at Hendrix''s picture in the news, he appeared calm and collected, as if nothing could ever


    shake him. I couldn''t help smiling bitterly. I should have known that Hendrix was a businessman. No


    businessman would give up an excellent opportunity by doing good. Hendrix prioritized his business


    over everything.


    Without any hesitation, I called Irvin on the phone.


    "Arianna?" Irvin was surprised.


    "Why didn''t you inform me when such a big thing happened to Granger Group?" I hated the feeling


    of being kept in the dark, and therefore my tone was harsh.


    "It''s none of your business." Irvin sighed and said nothing more.


    I didn''t want to waste time and went straight to the point. "I don''t know where you are, buttrust me.


    Write up an authorization agreement and send it to Granger Group immediately. Give me full


    authority to represent you as the president of the group. I''ll discuss the acquisition with them on


    behalf of you."
