My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1872

She seemed to read my mind and said, "Don't worry, I mean no harm. I'm just a lobbyist trying to convince my brother to bring my sister-in-law back to the Marshall family."

Judging from her appearance, she was obviously a career-driven woman. She didn't seem to be the sort of person who would invite Hendrix back home for his sake.

Among the rich and noble families, the weak were prey to them. Serene was the perfect embodiment of this.

Hendrix clenched his fists tighter. "Who told you that we're part of the Marshalls?"

These words were said mostly out of anger, but they were also the result of Hendrix's extreme disappointment.

What was home? It was a close-knitted family that depended on each other, and kept one another company through thick and thin. A home was not where the three of them left Hendrix alone and tortured him for his parents' death in purgatory on earth. On the contrary, the Marshall family life was one of peace.

Jennifer was innocent. She had always been a priority since she was born. She was pampered, which was why she could say these words with such ease. However, wasn't it rather ignorant of her to ignore the suffering of others?

Being able to find this place was proof of Jennifer's perceptiveness. However, she had a lot of audacity to be asking Hendrix in such a nonchalant manner to return to the family that abandoned him decades ago, just as he had lost his relatives.

Perhaps cold indifference was engraved in the noble bloodline of the Marshall family. Fortunately, Hendrix was an exception. This was something left uninherited by him.

Jennifer didn't expect that Hendrix would decline her proposal. She lifted the corners of her mouth as if she was joking. "I don't like to joke around. Hendrix, my brother, although our parents don't recognize you, I am not so conventional. You and I share the same blood, so we can definitely get along. Although the Marshall family's business is under the name of my brother and I, as long as you ask, we will agree to your requests..."

"Wait." I was stunned. "Are you saying that Johannes has another son?"
