My Pretty Sweetheart novel 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 somewhat complicated. "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 related to the friendship between our grandparents, it would be really terrible.

Charles sighed deeply and explained, "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 accident. 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 particularly solemn. "But looking 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.
