Hendrix was like a pill of reassurance. He dispelled the elements that were looking for opportunities to attack him.
Serene, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, found an opportunity to speak, "Cancel all collaborative ties? Hendrix, are you saying you're going to cut ties with me too?"
Since his revenge had turned into the joke of the decade, the Forbes family was no longer the mortal enemy of Hendrix. To some extent, Hendrix was indeed sorry for Serene.
Regardless of how successful a woman was in her career, she would not be tolerant of any deception.
She waited for Hendrix's explanation. However, Hendrix, who had just experienced the pain of losing his loved ones, could only lower his gaze that looked lost and empty, as if he was completely in another world.
He didn't mean to avoid this confrontation, but he was badly hurt.
With every second that passed, Serene's face grew even paler and twisted in conflict. To prevent the situation from spiraling out of control, I had no choice but to interject, "Miss Forbes, I apologize to you on Hendrix's behalf. We were previously forced to conceal our relationship. If there's anything you're unsatisfied with, we will provide you with a satisfactory answer later and will make sure we don't let you suffer any losses."
Serene was a smart person. As long as she wasn't actually in love with Hendrix, I believed she would understand that only by making peace could she be rewarded.
After all, Hendrix and Serene were merely victims of the previous generation's grievances. They shouldn't deepen the hatred.
However, Serene was obviously not as rational as we had thought her to be. "So, you and your husband fooled me, and you think you can get away with it by just saying a few nice words?"
She was essentially proud to the core to be able to stand alone without assistance from the Forbes family. This must be a tough pill to swallow.
I sighed and asked, "Miss Forbes, how should we solve this?"
