However, before Serene could react, Hendrix lost his temper.
"Enough," he said suddenly. His voice carried a hint of anger as he stared at me darkly. He said, "Arianna, stop doing this just because you can't stand us being so close with each other. There's no need to drag everyone into your mess!"
Although he usually comes off as hard to approach, he still acted courteously towards everyone. So, this sudden outburst shocked everyone. Even I couldn't hide the look of shock and surprise in my eyes.
He was putting on quite the act!
After a short pause, I quickly reacted by staring at him with my eyes wide open in anger. I yelled, "That's none of your business! Since you were unable to support me, I naturally turned to the Moore Family. Yes, I want to go against you and your new girlfriend because I'm petty. What can you do against that?"
"You're being unreasonable!" Hendrix went crazy with anger, his handsome face flushed crimson.
It had to take a pretentious woman like what I was playing to anger such an ambitious man like Hendrix, as he would only get angry when faced with extremely clueless people.
After another pause, Hendrix, still pretending to be furious, was the first to react. He turned towards Simon and said, "Mr. Drake, you want the Roberts Group to invest in Bate Coin, don't you? I've refused your offer before, but now, I've changed my mind. I will consider your offer, but I have one condition, and that is to reject Arianna's condition right now and get them to leave."
