My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 2224

"Who told you that Hendrix is going to work with you?" I said harshly, not intending to give Jordan any leeway.

Was he trying to drag Hendrix down with him? I won't let that happen.

He had dirt on Hendrix, but not me. Since Hendrix and I were a unit, we should overcome these difficulties together. As long as one person remained clear-headed, those with evil intentions would never succeed.

"Is that so?" Jordan then glared at me, there was a hint of mockery in his voice. After sizing me up, he sat down calmly. He then leisurely took out his cigar and lit it up. He then said slowly, "Arianna, I'm afraid you've forgotten that the Roberts Group belongs to the Roberts, not the Reids."

Like lava, sparks spread from the tip of his cigar. He took a deep breath, smoke then drifted into the air. "But for me, that's not the most important thing. All I want is Hendrix to join me. I don't care about the resources he could bring to the table."

I thought he was after the assets under our names, or at the very least, he had wanted to take advantage of our influence as the wealthiest couple in the world. But after hearing this, I couldn't figure out what he actually wanted.

He wasn't after money nor our family's resources. He wanted Hendrix.

There's no doubt that Hendrix was a very capable man. Given enough time, he could start up another company that will be on par with the Roberts Group.

But this still didn't make sense.

Why wasn't Jordan aiming for the Roberts Group, which was right in front of him? Why would he rather have Hendrix and wait for an outcome that would materialize five years later? How did this make any sense?

All I was certain about was that all the effort he had spent to get Hendrix over to his side wasn't doing Hendrix any good.
