My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 2161

"Stop." Hendrix had ruthlessly interrupted Lucas's spiel and the entire living room turned quiet.

Unfortunately they were unaware of how to behave as a guest of Zuckerberg before arriving at our doorstep. They didn't look angry at being interrupted. Instead they smiled and gestured patiently at Hendrix to finish what he wanted to say.

"The club has no intention of forming any strategic collaborations." This single statement put an end to Lucas's entire plan.

Lucas thought that Hendrix hadn't finished, so he kept smiling and listened intently.

Hendrix however, clamped his lips shut tightly and calmly with nothing more to say.

The air in the room grew stagnant and Lucas's smile slowly dwindled.

"What are you implying, Mr. Roberts? Are you saying that our organization isn't worth doing business with?" Quinn asked.

I had assumed that Quinn wasn't a good man and he had proven me right. Just on time to vindicate my presumptions.

Who was Hendrix? A man from a small town called Ucrebury who dared to take down Valerie and Pedro. A man who didn't know fear.

Without changing his expression, he lifted up his right leg and rested it on his left leg. He had moved into a more comfortable position. He then spoke slowly, "Children will us childish tricks, and we should always provide opportunities for the younger generation. We can talk business if you want. But, if get any ideas on working with my daughter, please turn right and then take a left at the sixth traffic light."

"What do you mean?" Quinn asked.

"That's the way to the main police station in Jarold City." Hendrix replied calmly with a faint smile. He looked at them with such intensity that it became uncomfortable to look at him.

Quinn and Lucas stumbled for a moment before the word "police station" had finally sunk in. Lucas then slapped the armrest and stood up. "You did not just say that, Mr. Roberts!"

They hated the police, except for the ones who would cover for them.

Things had turned tense. Lucas's underlings had quietly shoved their hands into their suits.
