Seeing that I was bluffing, Andrea continued her provocation. "What's wrong? Are you afraid? Aren't you are a great and talented lawyer? It turns out that you are just a lie. I thought you were so great. Hah! Without the support of a man, you are no different from me. At least, I dare to admit that I rely on others. As for you, Arianna, you said that you are an independent and upright person, but you rely on others to help you in times of crisis every time. You are a total hypocrite! You..."
"That's enough." Hendrix's steady voice was like a rumble of thunder that drowned out everything else. Andrea had to unwillingly swallow the words that came to her lips.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the corridor became tense and suffocating. Hendrix spoke again, breaking the awkward silence.
He looked at Evan, who had been waiting for his order, and said, "Go to the personnel department to handle the transfer formalities. You will go to the northern branch in Afriland today."
Evan was silent for a moment then did not refute.
"Yes."
Was this how Hendrix treated someone who had worked hard for our family for over ten years?
Evan was the victim, but to please the villain Andrea, Hendrix sent him to Afriland without any reason. What kind of logic was that?
I didn't want to disappoint Evan. Hence, I had to defy Hendrix for once. "No, I disagree. Evan will not go anywhere. He will stay in Jarold City!"
"Hendrix, have you gone crazy? Even if you feel guilty for Andrea, Evan is innocent. Why should he be implicated? Do you know how outrageous Andrea was just now..."
Hendrix did not give me a chance to finish speaking. "This transfer is included in the salary."
He seemed to be afraid that I didn't hear him clearly. He looked into my eyes and repeated his words seriously and calmly, "I pay him a high salary for his working ability and his dignity."
