Jordan remained still as though he hadn't heard her. He looked at Hendrix and spoke with a faint smile on his face, "In the time since you've left the company, Jennifer had betrayed their interests several times and even attempted to sell their shares and sought to transfer ownership of it's property. I noticed that you were busy, so I helped out and brought her to you. As for how to deal with her, that's up to you."
I felt a chill run down my spine.
Jordan was terrifying. He didn't just frame Nathan and his wife, but he had also schemed against his own sister.
Obtaining evidence for Jennifer's crimes wasn't done on a whim. He had to have done it flawlessly. I wondered when he had even started doing this.
It was hard to be careful against your own brother.
Jennifer must have never imagined that when she had a chance to achieve her goal by avoiding Hendrix, she would end up falling into Jordan's hands. He always had a very gentle temperament after all. No wonder she looked so unwilling and resentful at him.
Hendrix looked down on the ground and ignored Jennifer. Instead, he met Jordan's cold eyes and said, "If you stop right now, we can all live in peace from now on. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Jordan chuckled. "I don't understand what you're talking about."
He paused for a moment and acted as though he had suddenly realized something. He said, "I understand. Hendrix, you mean to say that, we will have to support the family business from now on. We must defend it and help each other, right? Hendrix, you can trust me when I say that we will always be on the same side. Our blood is thicker than water. Nothing will separate us."
Not only did he have thick skin, he was very good at flattering himself.
Even if he was bent on revenge, Hendrix wouldn't harm innocent people. As for Jordan, he would willingly harm the people closest to him and would use them as test subjects to his experiments.
