My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 2063

If my understanding was correct, Hendrix's "brother- in- law" that Jennifer had mentioned was this man.

From what I remembered, Jennifer wasn't married. With her status, I wouldn't think that she was in love with that man.

Jennifer seemed to be very concerned that Hendrix might hurt this man. As soon as he approached him, she sat up on the side of the bed and hugged that man tightly. Her eyes were alert and she looked timid as she said, "Hendrix, don't make things difficult for him. I'm responsible for everything. I beg of you, please hire someone to take good care of him for my sake, your sister. I've hurt him enough. I can't drag him down with me anymore."

I thought the man was mute, but just then, he spoke with a very feeble voice, "Jenni... fer."

Jennifer heard the man's voice and turned to look at him. Tears had welled up in her eyes and was about to spill out.

Hendrix didn't have the patience to watch such a dramatic love scene. He said coldly, "Tell me, apart from the obituary, my dear sister, what else have you done?!"

He didn't give her any warning and had deliberately raised his tone.

Jennifer knew that this was just the calm before the storm, or maybe she had remembered the scene where she nearly died in Hendrix's hands. Frightened, she stammered, "I... I've suggested hypnosis to dad. I had no choice! Dad was terrifying. In the past thirty years, everything I had was arranged by him. The schools I attended, acquaintances I associated with, and even the assets I had under my name. Everything I did and everything I own must satisfy him. Only by doing this can I qualify as a child of the Marshall family, and only then can I turn into an emotionless machine like he was!"

"It's ridiculous! Not only does he want to control our basic necessities but also our mindset!"

She paused and turned to stroke the man's face. With a sorrowful expression, she continued, "I chose Augustus, but dad hired someone to break his legs and to threaten me. To keep Augustus alive, I had to go home and be his well-behaved daughter. Just like before, I compromised, but the seeds of resentment were planted in my heart. I swore that I would escape from the Marshall family, this h*ll on Earth!" "Then, Hendrix, you finally showed up. Dad's genetic experiments also had a breakthrough. As long as you brought the child back, I can successfully accomplish my escape plan. Unfortunately, you were too ambitious, Hendrix. You're much more stubborn than me and Jordan. You would never give in to Dad. I almost gave up on my plan, but when the company got destroyed, my hope was ignited once again. The explosion on the island had a horrible impact on the Marshall family, but it was a great opportunity for me. I took the initiative to suggest your hypnosis treatment to Dad to turn you into a perfect puppet for the Marshall family. As for me, I would slowly accumulate resources under your perfect protection and wait for the best opportunity to escape."

I didn't know why, but as I listened to her, I found Jennifer to be very pitiful, "Even so, you had six years to leave, but you delayed it until now. At the end of the day, greed was what brought harm to you."

"I'm greedy, so what?!" Jennifer raised her voice suddenly, "This is what I deserve! How great do you think it is, for my name to be on the Forbes List? In fact, all the assets are being monitored by regulatory agencies that belong to the Marshall family. Apart from my daily expenses, I don't even have the permission to use a million dollars! I had to think of a way to mobilize the financial assets of the company. I initially planned to leave. Who knew that you would suddenly decide to freeze the company's assets, placing me in a dilemma, so I was forced to kidnap Wynn in exchange for some money to flee with Augustus... I swear, Hendrix, I have no intention of hurting Wynn!"

As she spoke, she put her palms together and begged Hendrix for forgiveness, "Please let us live, Hendrix. Let us go. I promise that I'll never appear in front of you ever again..."
