My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 2064

Jennifer had placed all of her hope on Hendrix's compassion. She didn't mention how inhumane she was towards Wynn.

If I hadn't tagged along with Hendrix that day, Wynn and I might never know how this woman, who had always promised to put her family first, would betray her family for her own selfish reasons.

"You truly are Nathan's well-behaved daughter." I gnashed my teeth. If my hands hadn't been on Wynn's shoulder, I would have already curled them up into fists. "If Hendrix hadn't exposed you today, and if Wynn did get kidnapped by your hands, have you ever considered how traumatized a six- year-old child would be?!"

Jennifer, who was sobbing, fell silent. Perhaps she knew that she was wrong, she did not dare to look at me or Wynn. The light in her eyes flickered as she avoided making eye contact with us. She said, "My... my men would have known what to do and wouldn't have frightened him. Besides, Hendrix subdued all my men. There are no ifs. You just want to pin a crime on me, that's all..."

"You're not admitting to your mistake?" Hendrix's faint voice rang out.

Jennifer lowered her head even further, "Wynn is fine. I didn't do anything wrong..."This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Hendrix said through gritted teeth, "You're unrepentant."

He turned to look at Wynn and me at the door and said indifferently, "Wynn, listen carefully. Can you see it clearly?"

Only then did I realize that Wynn was frowning.

"Yes." Wynn nodded and replied, "Yes, I understand."

Hendrix raised his chin and squinted. Darkness flashed across his eyes as he said, "Remember, you only have one name, Wynn Roberts. From now on, Wynn, you're no longer related to the Marshall family."

"I know." Wynn nodded, not fully understanding what was going on. All of a sudden, an important question popped up in his mind as he asked, "What about Uncle Jordan?"

"I'll explain that to you at a later time." Hendrix's voice was devoid of emotions. It was impossible to guess what was on his mind and it was an inappropriate time to ask another question.

Wynn knew his temper, so he silently remembered this and kept quiet.

When Hendrix looked at Jennifer again, his gaze grew colder as he said, "I gave you a chance."

Anyone with minimal understanding

would know what kind of ruthless decision that sentence meant. Jennifer stood up and backed away, yelling hysterically, "No, you can't do this. Nothing happened to Wynn. You can't kill me!"

Hendrix stood still like a mountain as though even the slightest movement from him would cause her to suffer at any moment.

"It's too easy to die. The moment I learnt that you had issued that obituary, you had already died once. I've let you off once for the sake of us being siblings. Now, you should also have a taste of what it feels like to live a life worse than death."

He heaved out a sigh of relief and said, "Come in."

As soon as he sai

said this, Evan came in from the outside with a few bodyguards. Jennifer thought they were going to take her away, so she hid in the corner, pressed against the wall. Every inch of her body refused to move.

The bodyguards, however, turned around and walked to the bed, bent down to lift up Augustus Yates and carried him out.

"What are you guys going to do to Augustus? Let go! Let him go! Let him go!"

"Ah!"

Evan's men were just like him. They followed their orders without any mercy. With a single push, Jennifer fell heavily to the ground as she crashed against the bedside table. Blood gushed out of her wound.
