My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1682

After pondering for a while, I turned to Tobias, narrowed my eyes and asked, "Are you going to leave Irvin alone in Mesville after I sign the contract?"

Hearing this, Tobias glanced at me and squinted. "Look at you, what are you talking about? I'm here taking the risk of offending Mr. Roberts. This shows my sincerity. What you said really makes me sad."

He pretended to be dejected and lowered his head. He pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. He looked as if he had really suffered a lot.

This was not a lie. The bigger my stomach got, the more Hendrix didn't want me to meddle in the affairs of the outside world. This time he came to see me, so he should have avoided Hendrix's eyes and ears. However, he never thought about Hendrix's good intentions and concern for pregnant women. He was not afraid that I would be stimulated. Although I was very grateful, I saw clearly that in the eyes of Tobias, his priority was always his family's interests. If his desired terms weren't there, he would have given up on Irvin's affair.

I thought for a while and pushed the phone to him and responded lightly, "I believe in you, but after searching for more than half a year, you still can't find any trace of Irvin. I'm really suspicious of your men's abilities. Let me reconsider our cooperation..."

Tobias raised his eyes and scrutinized me. "You want to break your promise?"

I shrugged. "All's fair in war. Being careful in business is safer for both sides."

He sneered and his eyes were as cold as ice. "I thought Hendrix was cunning. I didn't expect you to be more cunning than him. You have agreed to my terms and delayed them for half a year. Now, you want to threaten me and let me further expand my manpower to find him?"

He was right. That was my purpose.
