Sebastian looked Kendrix up and down. Even in the dark, he could see the glimmer in Kendrix's eyes, making him look mysterious.
Kendrix was not embarrassed to have his secret exposed, nor did he think he did wrong to lie.
He looked calm and composed.
It was strange for someone to be so calm in such a situation, but it was to be expected from a criminal investigation expert who had such an ability since young.
Sebastian smiled. Now that he knew the truth, there was no need for him to stay.
"Help me stop him!" Claudia shouted.
However, Kendrix grabbed her and said, "Come with me."
"Even if you want to settle the score with me, you don't have to do it now, right?" Claudia protested as Kendrix dragged her way. It seemed that she had enraged him.
Her heart lurched as she thought about how she had exposed his secret without permission. It did seem a little inappropriate now that she thought about it.
Feeling guilty, she sneaked a peek at him as she said tentatively, "It's not my fault. They already saw through us. They're too smart.
"Since they already know, why should you run away?
"It's unnecessary to run away if you don't like Sylvia.
"In fact, this lie you came up with would make them think you're interested in her."
Kendrix was silent as he held Claudia's wrist tightly, dragging her after him as he headed up to his apartment.
"Oh, come on. Don't be like this," said Claudia.
There was still no reply from him. He simply pursed his lips until they reached his apartment. He went inside, grabbed her luggage, and threw them out into the corridor.
"No way. How can you throw me out in the middle of the night?" She looked at him with wide eyes and then at her luggage on the ground, worried whether her luggage bag had broken from the throw.
"You can go and stay anywhere you like. Just not here." With that, he shut the door on her.
Claudia was forced to swallow the words she was about to say.
This can't be real! Claudia thought to herself.
Was Kendrix that angry?
As far as Claudia could remember, Kendrix had rarely gotten so mad. But at that moment, he was enraged.
She could not help thinking that he was going overboard by throwing her out in the middle of the night.
She stared at his closed apartment door for a long time before her lips curled into a devilish smile.
She took out her phone and sent a message to him. "If you don't let me stay, I'll go to Sylvia and ask her to take me in."
She thought he would give in and come to the door as soon as she sent the message, but she was wrong. There was no reply from him.
Nonetheless, she was not surprised.
Claudia let out a helpless sigh.
How could she forget that Kendrix was a psychologist that could guess what she was thinking?
Compromising was impossible for him.
After ten minutes of staring at the door, she snorted.
"Are you really not going to let me stay the night? Aren't you being a little too cruel to your cousin? And it's so late!" she pouted and complained. "It seems that I have to seek help from my cousin-in-law and her brothers."
Her eyes lit up with expectation at the thought of Sylvia's three good-looking brothers.
Then, she dragged her luggage downstairs.
At that time, Sebastian had returned to the car that Clinton had switched back.
