Chapter 1676
His family members were all dead, but their murderer was asking to let go of the small grievances. Who could easily let it go?
"I don''t know much about Hendrix''s matter. Besides, we''re divorced. I can''t say anything about it." I could not smile any more. There was no
expression on my face, and I tried my best to maintain modesty to show Eddison respect.
Eddison''s purpose was crystal clear. He wanted to test the rtionship between Hendrix and I, and also wanted to inquire about Hendrix''s
determination from me.
They had obviously exchanged information with Sebastian. They knew that Hendrix was just furious for me and the children, so naturally, they would
not believe in our divorce easily. After all, if the divorce was true, they would lose their best bargaining chip to tie Hendrix down
Since Eddison hade personally, it proved that they were still afraid of the Reid family''s power. I naturally had no need to cower and let them have
their way.
As soon as I finished speaking, Eddison’s smile froze and his wrinkled eyelids narrowed slightly.
As a leader, his imposing manner spread in the living room.
I felt his powerful aura, and my every nerve was on edge.
However, Eddison didn''t intend to let it go.
The giant living room quieted down, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. After a long time, Eddison turned his anger into augh. "You''re
indeed Charles'' goddaughter. You two have a very simr temper!"
I let out a sigh of relief, and only then did I let go of my clenched fist, allowing the wind to dry the cold sweat on my palm. I wasn''t as calm and
fearless as I looked. It was like the Sword of Damocles was hanging over my head. Every second was torturous.
Eddison was different from Charles.
Although he was one of the most
well known officials, he was really
sinister andsharp- tongued. In order
to protect himself, framing Hendrix''s
parents Nad not been enough. He
had easily robbed four people of
theirives, including those frem the

cold-blooded, and his ability for mind

Perhaps this was the reason why Dalton, Hendrix''s grandfather, had refused to tell him the truth.
In a fight with humans, it was a game of the mind. Fighting with beasts was like gambling with one''s life. If one was not careful enough, one would
lose their entire life
"In that case, I won''t force you. Just take it that I haven''t been here today, and I won''t bother you. I happen to have a meetingter, so I''ll go back
first...”
Eddison stood up politely. As a guest. of course, I had to see him off. I was not in good health, so Freya had to stand up to help me
However, just as he turned around, Charles, who was supposed to be on his business trip outside, suddenly appeared at the door. As soon as he
exited, his gaze met Charles''
Charles walked in with a straight
face, directly ignoring Eddison''s
ttering sratte. He went to the sofa
and sat dewn. "I was wondering if >>

These words were sour and
sarcastic. Eddison''s face darkened
in exasperation. When he spoke
again, his veice sounded rough. ~
