Chapter 1639
Hendrix did not answer. He kept silent and turned to the bathroom. Soon, I could hear him showering, indicating that our conversation had ended in
failure.
I was still worried. I sat on the sofa waiting for him, and I wanted an exnation
Hendrix showered quickly and came out after fifteen minutes. He was wrapped in a bathrobe, and his hair was dripping. Seeing that I was still awake.
he sighed and sat down beside me. He reached out to hug my shoulders and pulled me into his arms.
It had been a long time since we sat down and spoke our minds with peace. After snuggling for a while, he talked in a deep and hoarse voice.
"Haven''t you always wanted to know why I didn’t attend Grandpa''s funeral?"
I struggled out of his arms instantly and looked up at him nkly. "Why?"
Besides his grandmother, Dalton was one of the few elders who had treated me well. It was always regrettable that Hendrix had not attended his
funeral
"Do you know that Naomi''s parents and my parents died in a car ident?" Hendrix asked.
"Yeah." I nodded. "Naomi mentioned it to me. It was an ident. Does it have anything to do with this?"
"Yes." Hendrix nodded and his gaze grew dark. He looked straight ahead and said, "You only know that they were all car idents, but you didn’t
know that they died in the car idents in Ucrebury and Asherton on the same day. The day before their ident, they also talked about the same
business project. Two car idents that seemed to have no connection, had been secretly nned to get rid of the scapegoats.”
Frowning, I could not help feeling surprised. I was stunned for a moment before asking. "But what does this have to do with Grandpa?”
Hendrix took a deep breath and asked, "Why do you think my parents became the scapegoats so easily?”
He paused for a moment and told me what happened back then
Hendrix''s parents had unknowingly
signed an illegal document with
Naomi''s parents as witnesses. They
signed it because of their friendship
with the ether party, but that N

taken to see an old friend of
Dalton’s. Later, he learned that the
friend was the murderer''s mother.

However, both car idents had been perfectly nned. The results of the police investigation showed that it was only an ident. The people who
should have paid the price for breaking thew got away scot- free with Hendrix''s parents’ passing, but the real culprit was not punished

From thest word, I could even hear Hendrix gritting his teeth with hatred.
I didn''t expect that Dalton, who had always been dignified and righteous, had done these things before. I frowned. "So you''re in a hurry to go further,
because you want topete with your enemy as soon as possible, and avenge your parents?”
I was perplexed. I shifted myself into
a more serious sitting position. "If
