Chapter 1842


    Hearing this, I took a long sigh of relief. I could finally get rid of the dramatics of this meal.


    But Hendrix didn''t seem to buy into it at all. Instead, he drooped his face and said indifferently, "No business talk when we eat."


    I couldn''t help snickering in my heart at his nonchnt look.


    This meal made Hendrix look like a cuckold by cing me with Santiago. I doubt Alwin would ever get the chance to dabble in the real estate industry.


    Alwin''s hand was still hanging in the air, and his smile instantly froze and his face darkened.


    Someone who could associate themselves with Santiago was undoubtedly one of the most important people in Jarold City. Alwin was used to being ttered. However, Hendrix did not even cast a nce his way. He was indeed acting a little too arrogant.


    The atmosphere, which had just eased up, tensed again.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    Although Serene frowned and didn''t want to offend Alwin, she couldn''t outright go against Hendrix, so she could only sit still.


    As Alwin''s face darkened and was about to lose his temper, Santiago said in a calm voice, "Mr. Zellweger, it seems you''re a lightweight. I think you''re drunk. You should put your business aside for the time being. Should we talk about how to generate revenue for yourpany first?"


    In the business world, taking advantage of a situation to seize an opportunity was an easy task. Alwin immediately smiled and toasted Santiago, "Mr. Jenkins, you really are direct. I''ll give you five more shares on top of what we''ve agreed on tomend you for your audacity!"


    Santiago smiled faintly, "It doesn''t matter; as long as everyone is happy."


    Money didn''t seem to matter to him. He acted as if he wielded the greatest power in his hands and had the whole situation wrapped around his fingers.


    Both of them echoed after each other and raised their sses. However, Hendrix''s light voice sounded, "There''s nothing great about the Roberts Group, except for our sharp-eyed employees. Those whock potential will not have the chance to even enter the president''s office."


    As he finished speaking, Alwin stiffened and his face turnedpletely dark.


    Although Hendrix didn''t explicitly mention the


    Zellweger family, his intention was clear. The Zellweger family was powerful, but they didn''t make it into Hendrix'' list of partners. Based on what he said, it not only showed his sharp taste but also served as a warning to Santiago on his high horse.


    Hendrix was determined to spoil Alwin''s n.


    As long as they were not idiots, they would know to stop partnering with Alwin and cut their losses. However, Santiago still smiled calmly. He clinked the cup in his hand against Alwins. "Mr. Zellweger, please remember what Mr. Roberts said and quickly prove what you are capable of."


    Hearing this, Alwin''s expression rxed instantly, "You''ve got a great eye, Mr. Jenkins. I won''t let you down."


    From the looks of it, it was a done deal. Hendrix had wanted to wreck his n, but he helped seal the deal instead.


    Though Santiago had not spoken directly to Hendrix throughout the entire conversation, he had quietly pulled Hendrix down from his high horse. "Ding-"

    Without waiting for Serene and Austin to respond, he had already left out the door.


    Everyone looked at each other in dismay, the atmosphere in the private room hitting rock bottom. They did not expect Hendrix to react this way.


    I shrugged my shoulders and joked, "He sure is one-of-a-kind."


    After a pause, I deliberately raised my voice, "It can''t be helped. My ex-husband is just too goodlooking!"
