"If not, would you even get a chance to get close to him?"
"There are so many women out there who want to be Mrs. Roberts. You'd be considered unconventional."
"You're very smart. You know how to make good use of your strengths. It's such a pity that you picked the wrong person. If you want to be the wife of the richest man in the country, it'd be much easier to do that through me."
He was well aware that Arianna who had forgotten everything, the one who loved and hated him, wouldn't have a good impression of him.
Hendrix's heart was hurting, but a smile appeared on his face.
"Just stay away from me. Forget everything, just like how you treated me with disdain today. You've done enough, let me fight through the pain," was his only thought.
If everything went according to plan, there would be a smaller risk of his plans backfiring.
Hendrix wanted to let me go, but then he saw the information that Evan brought back. All the dignity and stubbornness he had been holding on to, collapsed.
Even at the risk of everyone discovering that his memories had returned, Hendrix still took Wynn along and moved out from the Marshall family villa to become Irvin's neighbor.
He couldn't confirm if Arianna had actually lost her memories. He could have had to use other methods to get Arianna away from Irvin. For this, he didn't hesitate to act rashly and alert the enemy. He used several secret hideaways of the Marshall family to find Shirley and Irvin's child. He wanted them to acknowledge him in front of Arianna.
Hence, the collaboration, replacement, and those harsh words. They were all part of his strategy to keep Arianna stay by his side with a false identity.
He was afraid that she would remember everything before he had settled everything.
Aaron's sudden appearance was beyond what Hendrix had expected. He had forgotten about Pedro being Aaron's old friend, which gave Arianna a better chance of recalling the past.
As expected, after seeing Aaron, Arianna's entire personality changed.
