Chapter 453


    I frowned; it was true, I did know all these things. When Yohannes died, Nerissa had used these


    against Helen to force her into insanity. Later on, when Helen couldn''t bear to live with herself any


    longer because of what she had learned, she leaped to her death.


    But I had never told anyone about these things. So, how...


    Hendrix looked at me with a slight frown on his face. "Did you do this?"


    I shook my head. "No!"


    Hendrix nodded. He looked at Nerissa and said coldly, "If she says it''s not her, then it definitely isn''t.


    You''d better show me proof for your ims; otherwise, if you touch her again, I won''t be so courteous


    the next time."


    Nerissa looked at him in bewilderment. She was so angry that she had to force the words out.


    "Hendrix, you''re an idiot. All three members of the Granger family are dead, and only she and I are the


    only ones who know these things. Why would I do this to myself?"


    Hendrix''s face was expressionless. "Then show your proof before you use her of this."


    After that, Hendrix pulled me out of the kitchen and led me upstairs.


    I took the first aid kit from Minnie and followed him into the bedroom.


    In the bedroom.


    I lowered my head as I cleaned Hendrix''s wounds. Some of the blood had already dried up into blood


    clots that were stuck in the open wound.


    "Does it hurt?" One''s hand was the most sensitive part of the body. With his palm bearing the brunt of


    the injury, he must be in quite a fair level of pain.


    Yet, he shook his head and smiled, "Are you worried?"


    I pursed my lips and sighed, "Don''t be so impulsive next time."


    "Dummy!" He stretched his hand out to touch my face, and his eyes were deep and dark as he gazed


    into mine. "A woman''s face is so precious. You have to learn to dodge next time, okay?"


    I nodded and bandaged his wound for him. I could not help but sigh, "It seems like someone has stuck


    their nose in Aunt Nerissa''s business."


    He lowered his gaze and said, "You don''t need to get involved in this. To put it bluntly, the Granger


    family''s affairs have nothing to do with us, but I will deal with Aunt Nerissa''s affairs."


    I pursed my lips. This wasn''t exactly a promise. Irvin''s death had always been a thorn in my heart. I just


    couldn''t let go of things no matter how hard I tried. What had happened to Nerissa didn''t faze me at all.


    On the contrary, I believed this was karma for her.


    However, I still couldn''t wrap my head around this. Only a handful of people knew about this matter. So,


    how did it get exposed with such specific details outlined?


    If the two elders of the Miller family didn''t know about this, then other than Nerissa and myself, who


    else would?


    Since I couldn''t figure it out, I didn''t want to think about it anymore. I looked up at Hendrix and asked,


    "Is the Roberts Group alright?"


    He seemed increasingly haggard these days, like he had aged a few years in a span of weeks.


    He smiled and shook his head. "For apany to grow and expand, challenges and obstacles are


    inevitable. But they can be solved, so don''t worry about it."

    It seemed like he didn''t want me to worry, and I didn''t want to pry. I just said, "I might go to Mesville to


    visit Joe and Monique. I''d be gone for a few days."


    He frowned. "It''s going to be the new year soon. Can''t you wait until after the new year to go?"


    I sighed. "I''m just very worried about them. You told me before that Doctor Saunders was in Mesville,


    so I asked him to keep an eye out for Joe and Monique, but he hasn''t gotten back to me about them."


    After the wound was bandaged, Hendrix pulled me to sit next to him and calmly asked, "Can we sit


    down and talk about this, please?"


    It was rare for him to have so much patience when talking to me. I nodded, looked at him and said,


    "You start!"


    "The weather in Mesville is at least ten degrees colder than that in Jarold City, and you''ve only just


    recovered. Do you understand that it''s not the best time to go to Mesville right now?"


    I nodded.


    He hugged me tight and continued to say, "Also, Charles wants to hold a grander wee party for


    you, and it''ll definitely happen before the new year. Plus, you''ve been nning on how to deal with


    Valerie for so long, and it''lle to fruition soon. Don''t you want to stay and watch things y out?"


    I was taken aback for a few seconds. Then, I looked up at him in surprise and said, "You... you knew


    this whole time?"


    He smiled and scratched his nose, "How else would you think it was that easy for a woman like Kelsey


    to get intel that you can''t even get your hands on in Jarold City?"
