My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1872

She seemed to read my mind and said, "Don't worry, I mean no harm. I'm just a lobbyist trying to convince my brother to bring my sister-in-law back to the Marshall family." Judging from her appearance, she was obviously a career-driven woman. She didn't seem to be the sort of person who would invite Hendrix back home for his sake.

Among the rich and noble families, the weak were prey to them. Serene was the perfect embodiment of this.

Hendrix clenched his fists tighter. "Who told you that we're part of the Marshalls?"

These words were said mostly out of anger, but they were also the result of Hendrix's extreme disappointment.

What was home? It was a close-knitted family that depended on each other, and kept one another company through thick and thin. A home was not where the three of them left Hendrix alone and tortured him for his parents' death in purgatory on earth. On the contrary, the Marshall family life was one of peace.

Jennifer was innocent. She had always been a priority since she was born. She was pampered, which was why she could say these words with such ease. However, wasn't it rather ignorant of her to ignore the suffering of others?

Being able to find this place was proof of Jennifer's perceptiveness. However, she had a lot of audacity to be asking Hendrix in such a nonchalant manner to return to the family that abandoned him decades ago, just as he had lost his relatives.

Perhaps cold indifference was engraved in the noble bloodline of the Marshall family. Fortunately, Hendrix was an exception. This was something left uninherited by him.

Jennifer didn't expect that Hendrix would decline her proposal. She lifted the corners of her mouth as if she was joking. "I don't like to joke around. Hendrix, my brother, although our parents don't recognize you I am not so conventional. You and I share the same blood, so we can definitely get along. Although the Marshall family's business is under the name of my brother and I, as long as you ask, we will agree to your requests..."

"Wait." I was stunned. "Are you saying that Johannes has another son?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Hendrix clenched his fist even tighter; so tight that his whole face tensed up.

"Ah, this..." Jennifer smiled

ingratiatingly Our brother keeps a relatively low profile, but he's easy to get along with. Isn't this better? You've led a lonely life in the past but from now on, we three siblings can get together and take care of each other. The Marshall family's business will definitely go up a notch."

She was happily talking to herself, but she suddenly paused and looked at Hendrix with a smile. "Don't you want to reunite with us, dear big brother?" How could a person born in a happy family understand the pain of being abandoned and forced to live alone?

Jennifer's words were harshly spoken, but no one could blame her.

Hendrix could not bear to hear another word anymore, so he suddenly got up and left.

Jennifer uttered words of complaint, "As the younger sister, I took the initiative to come here, yet I'm getting embarrassed like this? What the hell?"

Looking at her in disbelief, I

immediately retorted, "Since you know he's your brother, you should respect him. Hendrix's character is not up for your criticism. Don't judge him from your entitled position." The good impression that Jennifer gave me previously was instantly changed. Her mood took a turn for the worse, an angry frown appearing on her face. "Arianna, why are you mad? can understand why my brother would be in a bad mood, but that's because we're family. However, you and I are not. I don't have the habit of bearing outsides' insults."

Hendrix and I had been married for a solid decade and had children with one another, yet in Jennifer's eyes, I was nothing but an outsider.

Hendrix's father abandoned his own son and even hated him while his daughter treated her sister-in-law any way she liked. The teachings of the Marshall family sure were an eye-opener!

I widened my eyes in anger. I shot her a glare and yelled as loudly as I could, "Evan, send this guest off!"
