My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1293

"I couldn't reach him. My child and I are at home." I could tell that she was about to cry.

I sat up and said, "Don't worry, I'll call my father right away."

After that, I hung up and was about to call Pedro, but the phone was suddenly snatched away by Hendrix. He looked at me and said calmly, "Mr. Reid is not an ordinary man. He was taken away by his superior to be asked questions. Maybe he just went for a chat, or decided to stay there for a few days. If there's nothing wrong, he will be sent back. However, if you ask around now, word will definitely get out. Don't you know that your father is a well-respected man in Jarold City? Imagine the consequences if word got out that he's involved with Charles Reid. One is a government official, and the other is a businessman who has connections in both the government and the underworld. Even if Charles was innocent, they will definitely suspect him after this."

I was stunned for a moment. I never thought of it this way. Hendrix was right. Indeed, if Charles was proven guilty, they would have sent a notice to deal with him by now. A few days have gone by now without any news, indicating that there was no evidence at all. It was all hearsay.

If Pedro were to intervene now, he might not be able to explain himself. On the contrary, I might even drag Pedro into this. I was so worried that I didn't think straight.

After I calmed down, I looked at Hendrix and said, "What should we do now? Aaron and Yana are very anxious now. We have to find a way, we can't go on like this."

Hendrix frowned slightly. "How do you know what state Aaron is in? He's a smart man. Whatever I'm thinking, he would have thought about it already. I'll send someone to check on Yana. Don't worry!"

I didn't understand what he meant at first, so it took me a while to react. Then I looked at him and said, "If Aaron knows that he can't intervene in Mr. Reid's incident, why didn't he tell Yana this? Instead, he's making her so worried."
