My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1890

However, we didn't come across any department that developed poisons. The research labs looked normal, and everything done there was legal and of standard. In the last room, we ran into Sebastian who was busy patrolling.

"Mr. Jordan, why did you bring them to my place?" Sebastian asked as he stared at us coldly. He did not bother hiding his disdain for us at all.

Jordan's expression was indifferent. "I was looking for you. You should put the projects you have on hand aside for now. I have other arrangements for you."

"Arrangements?" Sebastian sneered and looked at me and Hendrix with malicious intent, "I initially thought that you were the only humane person, Mr Jordan. But now, I realized that you are nothing but a snake like the rest of your family. Now that your family is reunited, you've ganged up on me? The Milton family was driven to ruins because of your family. How are you going to repay me?"

"If the Milton family hadn't done those shameful things, the police wouldn't have caught them," I couldn't help interrupting.

What I saw with my own eyes in Sebastian's villa was still fresh in my memory. How dare such a person still claim himself innocent after what he did?

No mother in the world would remain silent when facing her child's kidnapper. I was about to speak again when I felt Hendrix quietly tugging at my clothes, indicating for me to not be impulsive.

"You've caused me a lot of trouble," Hendrix said as he looked at Sebastian with a faint smile. He reached out instinctively to protect me. "But now that we all work for the Marshall family, for the sake of my father, I can forgive you and let bygones be bygones."

Hearing this, I took a deep breath and frowned unconsciously. Then, I looked up at Hendrix.

Sebastian had been dissatisfied with the fact that Nathan tried his best to protect us, and he might still be angry about the matter. Was Hendrix deliberately trying to provoke him?

Indeed, Sebastian became more irritated. He gritted his teeth and sneered, "You can forgive me? Please, I have lost so much. And yet you still want me to thank you?"

Hendrix's lips curled into a smile as he replied, "That's not necessary. I've never liked haggling over things. Just treat it as a free life lesson and enjoy it."

With just a few words, he already had the upper hand of the situation. I couldn't help but sigh at this. This must be driving Sebastian crazy.

After Hendrix said that, the atmosphere turned silent for a few seconds. Sebastian suddenly reached out and punched Hendrix in the face. "I'll teach you a lesson!"

Hendrix immediately came to his senses and protected me by taking half a step back. He got in position, ready to block Sebastian's hits.

However, as Sebastian raised his

fist, a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed him by the wrist. In a blink of an eye, Sebastian was thrown to the ground, his back hitting the floor with a loud thud.

"Mr. Milton..."

There were many security guards in the lab, but no one dared to stop him. It was because the person who had thrown Sebastian to the ground was none other than the gentle-looking Jordan.

о

Sebastian's face twisted in pain and

he groaned in agony. Jordan calmly straightened his coat and said, "Someone will settle the Milton family's toss with you going forward, but you should figure out where you stand. Do you really think you can do anything to the Marshall family?"

Hearing that, Sebastian's face fell even more. He was so angry that he seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment he had just been dealt with as he glared daggers at Jordan.

Jordan's agility had taken me by surprise while Hendrix only narrowed his eyes, seemingly unsurprised by what just happened.
