My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1786

However, before Serene could react, Hendrix lost his temper.

"Enough," he said suddenly. His voice carried a hint of anger as he stared at me darkly. He said, "Arianna, stop doing this just because you can't stand us being so close with each other. There's no need to drag everyone into your mess!"

Although he usually comes off as hard to approach, he still acted courteously towards everyone. So, this sudden outburst shocked everyone. Even I couldn't hide the look of shock and surprise in my eyes.

He was putting on quite the act!

After a short pause, I quickly reacted by staring at him with my eyes wide open in anger. I yelled, "That's none of your business! Since you were unable to support me, I naturally turned to the Moore Family. Yes, I want to go against you and your new girlfriend because I'm petty. What can you do against that?"

"You're being unreasonable!" Hendrix went crazy with anger, his handsome face flushed crimson.

It had to take a pretentious woman like what I was playing to anger such an ambitious man like Hendrix, as he would only get angry when faced with extremely clueless people.

After another pause, Hendrix, still pretending to be furious, was the first to react. He turned towards Simon and said, "Mr. Drake, you want the Roberts Group to invest in Bate Coin, don't you? I've refused your offer before, but now, I've changed my mind. I will consider your offer, but I have one condition, and that is to reject Arianna's condition right now and get them to leave."

"Hendrix, the audacity you have!" Aaron stood up and shot Hendrix a look of pure disdain. He continued, "You two were married once before. Since Arianna wants to get involved in business, can't you just let her be?"

Hendrix's face bore an icy expression and his eyes held a ruthless glare. He said, "I, Hendrix, want a wife who cares about me the same way I care about her. I don't want a child who does nothing all day, who ends up unreasonable and immature!"

His words weren't too hurtful, but they were extremely insulting.

If I hadn't known that he was speaking against his own will, I would have gotten extremely angry.

However, Aaron had no idea that Hendrix was only pretending. Hearing those insults against me, he decided that Hendrix had crossed the line. He became so enraged that he kicked his chair down, walked over to Hendrix, and lifted him up by the collar. He shouted, "What a good-for-nothing you are! Just because Arianna is no longer married to you, do you really think that you can settle down in Jarold City so quickly? You've even called her immature! What have you ever done for her? Hendrix, you're an utter disgrace of a human being!"

The more he spoke, the more aggravated he became. Raising his fist, he was about to punch Hendrix when Serene suddenly stood up and stepped on Aaron's foot. With her sharp heel and that incredible force of hers, Aaron cursed and let go of Hendrix, who retreated backwards.

I quickly got up and held him, asking, "Aaron, are you okay? Hendrix, how dare you hurt him!"

With a blank face, Hendrix tidied up his jacket, as if nothing had happened. His expression was extremely icy, but Serene, who was standing incredibly close to him, raised her chin ostentatiously and looked at us. She said, "Arianna, don't think that the whole world revolves around you. Everyone here clearly saw who made the first move. We had to make this clear, or else things will get messy later if you continue to condemn us like this."
