Chapter 1623


    I knew that there was no room for refuting from his tone. I gnashed my teeth in resentment and


    uttered, "What about Anne? You have to let her stay with me. She won''t affect your ns."


    Hendrix replied, "I''ve sent her to Freya''s ce. Anne likes the little boy over there a lot, and she


    didn''t whine. To fulfill her wish to y with the kid, you''re not allowed to go anywhere this time."


    Beep...


    Once Hendrix had finished speaking, he hung up the phone, leaving me dumbfounded in a house of


    silence.


    I was so angry that I wanted to smash the phone, but it was the only way to contact the outside


    world, so I had to put it back carefully.


    Having time alone was different when being forced into having it. I was forced to indulge myself with


    books for the morning. New knowledge didn''t enter my mind at all, but I felt more impetuous.


    Just as Hendrix said, bodyguards came in every hour, and looked at me from afar across the


    corridor. Currently, I was tired of studying. I heard the footsteps of bodyguardsing upstairs and


    stared at the stairs sulkily.


    The bodyguards were wearing uniforms and suits. In fact, they were just thugs who were properly


    dressed. If they saw me from down the stairs, they would be shocked when they saw my


    expression.


    However, when the bodyguards came up to the stairs, he did not stop, instead walking towards the


    study.


    I sensed danger and immediately covered my belly and leaned back in the chair. The bodyguard


    had already reached the door. When I saw his face clearly, I rxed in an instant, but then began to


    struggle with my thoughts. I was very familiar with this face, but I couldn''t remember anything about


    it.


    In a trance, the bodyguard had alreadye to me. He reached in front of the desk in a couple of


    steps, stretched out his long arms, and showed the satellite phone in his hand.


    I was both surprised and overjoyed. I took it over and held it in my hand. I had only seen this object


    with Kaleb''s people, and it could even be used in the mountains. It was a gem.


    "Mrs. Roberts, Mr. Roberts has installed a signal shielding device around the vi. This satellite


    phone can connect to the outside. Someone will call youter. Be careful, don''t let others see it," he


    exined.


    As soon as he finished, there were footsteps downstairs. The other bodyguards saw that he had


    been dyed for quite a long time, and followed him. "Hey, Edwin, what''s going on? Answer me if


    you can hear me."


    I quickly hid the phone in the nearest cab to help Edwin out. "It''s nothing. There are a few books


    in the bookcase that I can''t get to. I needed this young man to do me a favor."

    When the others heard this, they stopped. They didn''t even respond to me, perhaps worried that


    Hendrix would find out that we weremunicating with each other.


    Edwin Sharman hadpleted his mission. He exchanged a look with me and hurried downstairs.


    After confirming that the footsteps of the two people below had disappeared, I picked up the satellite


    phone and hid in the bathroom.


    Edwin would probably notify the other party when he left. Their phone call woulde shortly. I was


    curious about who knew what had happened, and was willing to help me at the risk of offending


    Hendrix.


    I didn''t wait for long. Fifteen minutester, the satellite phone''s indicator light shed. I immediately


    pressed the answer button.


    I asked, "Hey, who''s there?"


    "Arianna? It''s you, isn''t it? Phew, lucky! I was afraid


    Hendrix would find out."
