Chapter 1650
"I know.” I nodded. "That''s why Master Roberts made the decision to arrange a date for Hendrix and me.”
"Hmm." Charles nodded his head. When he looked at me again, the expression in his eyes was somewhatplicated. "Did I mention his parents to
you?"
I had a hunch about what he was going to say, and my heart sank. Hendrix said that his parents died because they''d trusted the wrong people. If all
this was rted to the friendship between our grandparents, it would be really terrible.
Charles sighed deeply and exined, "At that time, the Milton family was suspected of mining oil in private, and I was in charge of the investigation
In the end, the investigation led to the Roberts, which were far away in Ucrebury, and all the documents were verified. Hence I went to Ucrebury with
the inspection team. On the way, I heard that the Roberts couple were involved in a car ident. There had been a strict restriction on the
exploitation of oil. Your grandmother was responsible for this case. It is impossible that she did not know what the Milton family was doing behind the
scenes...”
Anxiety flowed throughout my body, and I was a little overwhelmed. I continued to ask, "Are you saying that she''d schemed to kill Hendrix''s parents?”
I''m not sure, either.” Charles shook his head, but his expression was particrly solemn. "But locking at it. it seems like it’s the case.”
"After that matter, the Milton family toned down. Even I thought that it was over. Until recently, when Hendrix held a banquet for you and the twins, I
met the old man of the Attwood family, and I had Aaron inquire about it secretly. Hendrix really has been investigating what happened in the past.
Now he no longer cares about the consequences in dealing with Mr. Gavlin. When a business man confronts a high- rank official, it''s like an egg
hitting a rock...”
I couldn’t remember how I got out of Charles''s room. I sat in the living room of the bedroom, and my soul seemed to have left my body.
Ever since Hendrix took over the
company, he had never stopped
expanding hisNsusiness. FromContent rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.

rxéd. If he had known from the
beginning that all these hiftgs had
something to do with mys
grandmother, then how did he feel
about marrying me? If Master
Roberts hadn''t offered the
company''s right of management for
exchange, would he have done that?
After a long time, Aaron suddenly appeared. He stood at the door for a while, then came over and sat down beside me. To avoid disturbing me, he
asked in a low voice, "Are you all right?”
My throat tightened so much that I couldn''t speak
Aaron understood what I was
thinking. He patted the back of my
hand with his gentle palm. "I said too
much jugt now. Don''t think too far
ahead. AS long as I am here, thes
Reid faimily will always have your
back? You can stay here. With the
Reid family''s protection, those
people will not dare do anything.”
I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. Then I turned to Aaron and replied, "I want to talk to Hendrix face to face."
"No." Aaron was firm. "You can''t go
back at all with your current state.
Do you think I ‘s only because I''m
worried Hendrix will do something-to
you because of hatred? Now, he has
already provoked people fronythe
underworld. You and your ￠ child will
bein danger if you get se to him."
Aaron was not exaggerating. Before, he''d been chased in a wooden warehouse in Mesville, and Hendrix''s revenge had not been made public then.
Now that the matter had been expased, the opposition would do more unscrupulous things
What I cared about more was the first half of what Aaron had said. Hendrix hated the enemy who''d murdered his parents. What about me? Did he
hate me?
