I would rather Hendrix cracked a joke to stop me, but he just turned his back to me and kept silent.
After a long time, he turned around and walked towards me. He put his hands on my shoulders and leaned his upper body in slightly, uttering in a low voice, "Your most important task now is to give birth to the children. I have my own plan for the company's affairs. There won't be any problems. Trust me."
He admitted it.
I frowned. Thinking of Irvin's fearful tone, I swallowed hard and responded, "How about the Granger Group? Do you really want to help them, or is this part of your plan?"
Hendrix's expression suddenly turned cold as Irvin was mentioned. He withdrew his hands naturally and lowered his eyes slightly, making it hard for others to see through the emotions hidden in his eyes. "I've already said that business and personal relationships are different. I've provided the best conditions for the acquisition of Granger Group. You've also participated in a similar situation against the Moore family, so you should be crystal clear on the fact that business is just that way. There's no relationship to speak of. Even if it wasn't me, there would be others doing the same. The Granger Group has already bitten the bullet."
I gazed straight into his dark eyes as if I had never seen him before. I had seen such an ambitious look in Hendrix's eyes a long time ago. At that time, we had just gotten married. All his attention was on the business of the company. His eyes were always cold, ignoring all obstacles, and there were no projects he couldn't get. That kind of ambition was one of his most attractive charms. But at this moment, I felt that something was wrong.
He seemed to be very anxious, and eager to climb higher. Hendrix knew that I would be strongly against him, so he had deliberately set up a trap by using GW Group as a bait. This was to get me to sign the representation agreement. Maybe he was playing a diversion trick. He had planned to cooperate with Hillford Company from the beginning.
This idea crossed my mind. I immediately shook my head and reached out to grab Hendrix's arm. "Hendrix, tell me, what do you want to do?"
Hendrix tugged on my arm, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He appeared extremely patient as he spoke, "I know. You were depressed before. Now that you're pregnant, it's easy for you to overthink things. This is why I hid it from you.
You're too easily agitated. Relax."
I shook my head in disbelief. "This has nothing to do with my pregnancy. Hendrix, you know what I'm talking about."
After a pause, I raised my neck and expected to hear the truth from him. "Why did you hide so much behind my back? You told me that advancing in Mesville was like going into the lion's den. You said that you didn't want me to take risks, but what about you? Why are you taking risks again? Isn't it better for us to be slow and steady?"
I understood what Ian meant at this moment. There were still many things I didn't know.
The headquarters of the Roberts Group had just been moved to Jarold City for a year. People around Hendrix had been reminding him about the risks of advancing to the international market. But he still acted on his own.
The smile in Hendrix's eyes suddenly disappeared, and his expression became serious and gloomy. "Who told you about the fund merging?"
I was stunned and didn't expect that he would suddenly ask this. After considering it for a moment, I answered, "It doesn't matter. As a shareholder, I have the right to know such a huge thing. I would have known sooner or later. Were you going to hide it from me forever?"
