Chapter 1582
He was silently shifting the topic while I couldn''t do anything about it. If he got closer, I would get
lost in his aura.
A sudden knock on the door interrupted the two of us.
Hearing the sound, Hendrix''s ambiguous expression changed a little. He looked up and saw Este
standing by the door, clearly ced in a difficult situation. Then he sat up straight and said, "Come
in."
While I was adjusting my clothes, Este had approached both of us.
"Mr. Roberts." Este greeted him and nced at me. She wanted to speak but stopped on second
thought. It was obvious that she was holding something back.
In fact, there was no need for her to do so. I was also a shareholder of the Roberts Group.
"Just say it," Hendrix reminded her just at the right time, and his tone was restored to his usual
indifference.
Este lowered her gaze and handed the document in her hand to Hendrix. When he looked
through it, she exined to him, "At the beginning of the year, we verbally agreed to sign a contract
with several leaders-in-charge of these projects. This afternoon, as if they had all agreed on it
together, they called our project department to cancel the contract. Those from the project
department confirmed that we will lose some of the projects in this document while the others are
still uncertain. Mr. Ford went to the other party''spany in person, hoping to discuss it. However,
his secretary asked me to inform you that there doesn''t seem to be much hope. It''s best if the
company can figure out a solution and respond to it as soon as possible."
Hendrix''s thick eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this, and his face changed drastically once again.
He replied with a displeased look, "I get it. Arrange a meeting with the managers of all departments
tomorrow."
Thinking of Freya''s analysis, I couldn''t help but ask, "Miss Zanes, these projects are invested within
Ucrebury, or are they newly developed after arriving in Jarold City?"
The Roberts Group had a deep influence in Ucrebury. Almost the entire construction industry relied
on Roberts Group. Therefore, there was no reason for them to go against the Roberts Group.
"It''s newly developed, Madam," Este said.
I frowned. If that was the case, it was simr to what Freya was worried about. Those in Jarold City
who were jealous of Hendrix had already begun to take action.
Hendrix nced at me, closed the folder, and ordered Este to leave, "You can leave. I''ll call you if
there''s anything."
"Alright." After that, Este left.
As soon as the door closed, Hendrix asked, "What do you know?"
"Mhm?" I was stunned and looked at him nkly.
Hendrix sighed and said meaningfully, "At the start of the year, you didn''t interfere much in Roberts
Group''s matters. In terms of construction, you don''t know much about it either. But just now, you
questioned Este all of a sudden, so it''s obvious that you''ve been thinking about something for a
long time. Mrs. Roberts, we'' re married for ten years. Do you think you can still hide anything from
me?"
Iughed. Even without more than ten years of rapport, Hendrix could still see through people''s
thoughts. "Well, you''re right. I indeed came here for this matter."
It was not a small matter to stop Hendrix''s development n. I collected myself and ced my hand
on the back of his hand, looking solemn and dignified. "Hendrix, I always know that you''re capable,
but can you not push yourself too hard? It was only years ago that you moved thepany''s
headquarters to Jarold City. Now that so many projects have gone wrong, shouldn''t you consider
consolidating the foundation first and putting the financial affair aside? As you said, the GW group is
with bad intentions. You''ll get in trouble if you rush everything too prematurely."
Hendrix''s gaze darkened, and he squinted his eyes slightly. After a while, he asked, "What did
Freya tell you?"Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
