My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 2164

When it came to personal interests, there was always a thin line between being impulsive and staying calm.

In Mesville, the Skull Organization abided by strict regulations whenever it performed any sort of activity. As a result of this, they didn't hesitate to take on the Zuckerberg market because they weren't well known in the country and could make a killing doing so.

But having learned how strict regulations were here, it had undoubtedly rained on their parade. Having messed up what was to be a sure deal, Lucas and Kane's faces looked very unhappy, but they couldn't vent their anger out on us. For a moment, their faces had turned red from anger, and their eyes looked like they were ready to kill someone.

It wasn't good to have the upper hand in this situation, there were too many unknown factors behind their power.

It became eerily suffocating in the room. You could cut the air with a knife.

Then, we heard footsteps coming from the doorway. It was Anne and Josiah, they had just come home. Evan came in after them and apologized through his eyes for not being able to hold them back.

"We can work together." Anne had deliberately raised her voice and strode boldly into the center of the living room. After gesturing towards us with her eyes, she then approached Lucas and Quinn. "Why, hello gentlemen, we meet again."

It seemed that these two men had already gone to the club to look for Anne before they came here.

Lucas curved his lips upward as he looked up at Anne. He then said coldly, "A day has passed, have you made up your mind about our business proposal, Miss Anne? Yay or nay?"NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Anne was poised as usual, with a slight smile on her face she answered calmly, "I've heard everything you've said. My parents' decisions are my decision as well. Since the club is owned by the Roberts Group, it is only logical that our mission is to do legitimate business, no exceptions."

"Then what did you mean when you said we could work together?" Quinn interrupted suddenly.

Anne turned her face away, undaunted. "Simple. So long as you do legitimate business that meets the needs of the Roberts Group's industry, then, whether it is the club or any other business of the company, we will be happy to cooperate."

"You're making us the butt of some joke here!" Lucas stood up. "You know exactly what kind of business we're in!"

"What are you trying to do?!" Aaron jerked up and shoved Lucas in the chest.

Caught off guard, Lucas staggered a

couple of steps back before

stopping himself. When he

el

discovered that it was Aaron who had pushed him, he looked surprised and said, "Are you for real?

"To hell with this! Nobody hurts my beloved niece!" Aaron lifted up his jacket and stuck his hands into his pants pockets. The arrogance that he had been holding inside had been unleashed.

The two of them stared each other down as they cursed at each other.

"You.."

"Me what?!"

"Anne," Hendrix called out suddenly before Lucas had a chance to respond, "Come over here and sit down next to your mother."

I waved at her immediately upon hearing this. As always, Anne followed his instructions and walked over to us without saying anything else.

As soon as she sat down, Hendrix began to talk.

"My daughter has clarified Roberts

intentions clearly and has sert

sincerity to your proposal, but now it's up to you whether you wish to cooperate or not."

"Sincerity?" Lucas sneered, "What kind of lousy sincerity was this? It's clear that you want us to back off!"

Hendrix ignored him and turned his head calmly. As he looked at Quinn, he asked, "Mr. Quinn, do you feel the same?"
