My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 2105

Since we thought everything was over, we had not expected Freya to keep what we talked about in mind. Two hours after we arrived home, she came back with documents in her hands and announced she wanted to "be in charge" of Anne.

"Since we're family, I'll get straight to the point. Anne is perfect for the business sector. Let her return to Zuckerburg so that she can come learn business with me, and I'll sign her up for an MBA course as well. I'll be fully supportive in every project, no questions asked - on one condition, and that's because I appreciate the talent Anne has. I'm not giving anyone the chance to snatch her away. Therefore, we will have to sign a contract. It's the only way I can rest assured."

Anne was definitely not expecting this. She eyed me and Hendrix as she kept silent.

A voice came from afar. "There are so many estates of the Roberts Group waiting to be inherited. It's not even guaranteed if these little fellows can all handle them well. Now you're trying to snatch their heir away to earn money for yourself. Aren't you getting ahead of yourself?"

Tobias walked down the stairs in a set of silk pajamas. His hair was soft and fluffy. He had obviously just woken up.

I didn't expect him to still be here.

"Keep your nose out of this." Freya was unconcerned about him. He was a killjoy, and she sarcastically retorted, "Speaking of which, Mr. Hayes, your name sure has been getting around when it comes to relationship scandals ever since you've returned to Zuckerburg. You're dominating both locally and internationally. I hope your body can withstand all that pressure."

"Since when have you become so worried about me?" Tobias went downstairs as he tightened his robe around his waist. "As for whether my body can withstand all that pressure, would you like to check it out yourself?"

After the incident with Zachary, people like Tobias turned Freya off. He was known to be a frivolous one, but he had always managed to escape unscathed and clear himself of the scandals accused. With that sentence, Freya was provoked. As she was about to fire back at him, I interrupted their cross-fire. "This is getting out of hand. Can you all show me some respect by avoiding such topics, especially in front of the children?" Tobias sat on the sofa, casually placing one of his legs on the armrest with a face of innocence, saying, "As someone who works under the table, I hate having poor relationships with others.

Besides, I adore women. She started it, so I rebuked in self-defense. I am the victim here."

Freya sneered and said sarcastically, "Then I'm afraid there are no villains in the world."

Although it did not end up peaceful, the two did not continue to be at each other's throats. All they did was exchange glances before ignoring each other.

After a while, Tobias said, "Anne, if you'd like to grow in Zuckerberg, I have a lot of great connections. Why don't you consider coming with me instead?"© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Freya, who had just calmed down, immediately pulled a long face at his sentence, mocking him. "No wonder you were sticking your nose in our business. It seems that you're trying to steal Anne away as well. Have you never heard of 'first come first served'? Do you think that, Freya Moore, am a woman who gets bullied easily?"

"I did not say that." Tobias spread his hands, unafraid of what was to come. "I already had my plan in mind when I heard everyone who came back from shopping talk about the flowers. You only had the chance to go first because I fell asleep. If hadn't, I could have been the first to mention this to Anne." "You..." Freya was speechless with anger. Even those who had a glib tongue couldn't do anything about his thick skin. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and cuss at him, "A*shole!"

Tobias pursed his lips and didn't take her seriously.

"What's everyone talking about?" Hendrix returned home. He took off his coat and handed it to the servant while asking.

"You have to keep a close eye on your daughters. Some men with malicious intent have already begun coveting them," Freya hinted at Tobias.

Tobias straightened his back, wanting to retort. When he was about to speak, Hendrix came over and asked as if he had heard a funny joke, "Oh? Who has the courage to do so?"

Then he sat down beside me and rested his hand on my shoulder. Looking at Anne, he asked, "Anne, were you bullied?"

"No, Dad." Anne smiled and explained politely, "Mr. Hayes and Aunt Moore want to teach me business."

Hendrix nodded before asking for her opinion, "What do you think? Are you interested?"

Anne pressed her lips together. It seemed she had yet made up her mind.

Hendrix was exceptionally patient as he reassured her, "There's no need to worry about what others think. Just speak what's on your mind. You're still young. It doesn't matter even if you're not willing to do so. I'll

support you in whatever you

choose."

"Thank you, Dad." Anne seemed to have gained courage from those words. She smiled and said, "In fact, I had long planned to do business, but I was afraid that you and Mommy will not agree to it."

As expected, the older a child got, the better they became at hiding things. I hadn't noticed this at all. Chuckling helplessly, I said, "Well, let's hear it."

Hendrix patted my shoulders lightly as if he was comforting me. I turned around to look at him, but he gave me no response. I might have misunderstood.

"I want... to open a bar!" "The largest bar in town!"
