My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1657

Matt hissed in pain.

He cursed, "You b*tch!"

Another slap made me feel dizzy and exhausted.

At this moment, the door suddenly burst open from the outside. A figure quickly rushed in and directly dragged Matt away from me, and knocked him down to the ground.

I opened my eyes in a daze. It was only when I was covered by a blanket that I realized that the person who had saved me was none other than the long-lost Hendrix. "Are you okay?" His voice was a little hoarse. Probably because he had stayed up all night, his dark circles were a little deep. Without me, he cared less about his own body. I shook my head and assured him.

Hendrix breathed a sigh of relief and sat me against the head of the bed. Then, he turned around and looked down at Matt, who was lying on the ground.

This was probably not the first time Matt had laid his hands on a taken woman. He spat and his attitude was still arrogant. "Hendrix Roberts, you have guts. How dare you hit me? You're dead now!" Hendrix's eyes turned cold and dark. After a long time, he finally opened his thin lips and asked, "Which hand of yours touched her?"

Matt was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately laughed and got up from the ground, holding his fat belly nonchalantly. He taunted, "Why, you want to break my hand? Huh... Who are you? You're just barely making business in Jarold City with money from the investment bank and protection from the Moore family. You don't think you can possibly mess with a Forbes, do you?"

Hendrix was silent. He turned to look at the door and said in a cold voice, "Come in."

Evan and a troop of bodyguards appeared at the door.

"Yes, Mr. Roberts?" Evan asked respectfully.

Hendrix looked coldly at Matt and said, "Break both of them."

"How dare you!" Matt panicked a little. "I am the old man's beloved grandson. How dare you touch me!"

Matt could get away even with r*pe. I was afraid that Hendrix would offend the Forbes family on impulse, so I advised him, "Forget it. Don't make things complicated. The babies and I are fine." Hearing this, Hendrix tilted his head and looked at me. After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Evan and said, "Take him out. Don't do it in front of my wife."

Hendrix gave his order. Without any hesitation, Evan led his men to carry Matt out.

"B*stards, you dare to touch me. All of you will die a horrible death. I will not let you go, argh...!"

Miserable screams filled the whole room. I seemed to be able to see the bloody scene of the man's arms. My stomach churned and I unconsciously frowned.

Matt's hand was broken, but he was still stubborn. He kept shouting outside, "Hendrix Roberts, if you dare, you can kill me. As long as I'm still breathing, you'll get it from me! Argh... Ah!"

The scream stopped abruptly, and the whole room became quiet again. Matt probably passed out because of pain when another arm was broken.

Feeling uneasy, I anxiously grabbed Hendrix and asked the others, "How's lan? Have you found Emma?"

Emma was the most innocent one. For the first time in her life, she was kidnapped, and dealing with bad guys like Sebastian. She was probably frightened badly.

As for lan, although the knife wound was not fatal, it must have hurt badly. He hated me so much, but he still rushed to me desperately at the critical moment. He wanted to protect me. I couldn't help tearing up "Calm down." Holding my arm, Hendrix said helplessly, "I didn't know that lan was injured."

"What?" I was stunned on the spot. "It's not Aaron who asked you to come?"

Hendrix shook his head. "It was Sebastian. He gave me the address and the picture of you." What... Sebastian captured me, but leaked the news to Hendrix?
