My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1667

I knew his plans. He wanted the children to have my last name when we divorced. Thus, he wanted everyone to think that we had completely broken up.

He lowered his eyelids slightly, and his pupils were dark as if they were dyed in ink.

His entire being was gloomy and depressed, but also had some unfathomable emotions hidden under the surface. Just like when we first met, he was cold and unapproachable, dark as if he came from the pits of hell.

If he watched his enemy, who had killed his parents, climb to the top and lead a carefree life, Hendrix would never live it down for the rest of his life.

"Do what you want. You don't need to think about us." I gritted my teeth and wasn't sure if I would regret it. But only in this way could Hendrix have a chance to free himself from agony.

Hendrix probably didn't expect me to agree so readily. He looked up at me with surprise in his black eyes.

I forcibly tugged the corners of my lips as my palm caressed his defined face. I whispered,

"You'll protect yourself, right? I can trust you, right?"

Hendrix gently held my hand and said in a gentle voice, "Of course, I owe you so much and haven't given enough back. If you don't let me, I won't dare to die."

I didn't know what to say. I looked down at the agreement, then took it in my hand and tore it into two.

"What's wrong?" Hendrix was surprised.

My lips were pressed into a thin line, and I squinted at him as if to threaten him. "I don't want these things now, you will give them to me little by little for the rest of our time together!"

I didn't want a two-year guarantee. I wanted a lifetime, a very long one.

On the way to the hospital to see lan, Freya called me on the phone. She said, "Check your Twitter. Your brother is going crazy over there!"

I found that Aaron's anger had not been a flash in a pan when I checked Twitter. After he left the Roberts the night before, he'd asked people to collect dirt on Matt.

His ugly scandals, which had been previously taken down under the pressure of the Forbes family, were reported one by one through a magazine company. At this moment, six out of the top ten trending topics were related to the Forbes family. They were embroiled in a huge controversy.

Hendrix turned off my phone to stop me from reading further. "Pedro was right. Aaron lacks consideration." "Why?" I was puzzled. "Since it can be searched about on the news, isn't it just enough to prove that the Forbes family is not the greatest force now?"

Hendrix's parents had passed away more than 20 years ago. The era had undergone a huge change, and online comments often caused a stir. Only by gaining popular support could you gain the world. Of course, there were many cases where certain parties used public opinion for profit, but there were only a few.

Was this not the reason Hendrix was able to openly move around under Eddison's surveillance? Hendrix said, "First of all, Matt has been sent abroad. Even if those cases really go to court, the lawsuit always needs witnesses. You are the one who's becoming a lawyer. I ask you, is there any possibility of being convicted for a case without a witness?" "Do you mean that the Forbes family will bribe the witnesses?" Although I had not passed the exam, my sense of justice as a future lawyer suddenly burst out. "There will always be victims who would rather ask for justice, rather than money."

Hendrix breathed a deep sigh. His long arms came around me, holding me in his embrace. "It is a long and painful process, how many ordinary people do you think can survive those hardships? Compared with offending the Forbes family, to hide and live a stable life would be a blessing to them."

I was silent, and my chest felt hollow. Aaron had used so much effort, but in the end, he just managed to embarrass the Forbes family a little.
