My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 2282

"That's Aaron's ability, messing this all up. All we can do is try to gain something during this opportunity."

It would be great if Hendrix could be indecent once in a while. Alas, his cold and emotionless face was too out of place. Besides, he received a great deal more attention than Aaron. To be honest, if we had taken action, we would have been tortured by Jordan.

"That's true." Freya expressed her approval. "This time, we might have to go with an unconventional plan in order to have a way out."

I did not reply. I reached out and patted her on the arm. "Let's go. It'll be over if we are late."

When I entered the private room, the people inside had already taken their seats. Aaron and Emma were sitting at the side of the door, and Hendrix was opposite them. Jordan and Naomi were sitting on his left, and the seats on the right were still empty. Therefore, Freya and I walked there and sat down.

The atmosphere in the room was quiet, and no one spoke until the dishes were served.

Freya gestured under the table, indicating that the situation was too tense. I felt that it was normal.

There was always peace before a storm.

Finally, the exquisite dishes were arranged on the table. The waiters were very sensible, and retreated right after that.

Although the table was adorned with dishes of all colors and flavor, no one's attention was focused on it. It was just as a backdrop for the real show. I gazed in Jordan's direction, trying to discern his intentions. Nevertheless, he didn't seem to have the intention of controlling the situation. Instead, he picked up his cutlery calmly and ate in a civilized manner. It was only when Naomi picked up some food for him that he showed signs of impatience. It seemed that Jordan had a slight mysophobia, just like Hendrix.

Naomi was arrogant. Although she did not lose her temper, she did not choose to eat the food that Jordan had rejected. Instead, she retracted her spoon and threw it into the waste bin.

The relationship between those two people was really subtle. While one might say they were not close, they were always out together. One might say they were intimate, but even a spoon of food had been rejected like that.

"Since you are here, name a price." Hendrix was the first to speak. He went straight to the point and broke the awkward atmosphere.

To outsiders, the meeting was solely to verify ownership of the shares that I originally owned. Moreover, Aaron had stymied Hendrix's

decisions at the company befowl

and the two had had a conflict long ago Therefore, there was no point in a pleasantry.

The two of them were in a state of tension. They were the epitome of those who only cared about money and not relationships, fierce and cold- hearted.

Of course, this was all done for Jordan. Money was something that Aaron never yearned for, let alone Hendrix.

"Are you sure?" The corners of

Aaron's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Alright then. Since that's the case, I'll stop being polite. For the sake of being a family previously, there must be a discount no matter what. I'd say one million dollars."

One million to sell the shares of a major shareholder of a global public company?

Since when did Aaron think of Hendrix so highly?All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I don't have time to joke with you." Hendrix's reaction was the same as that of the others present. There was a trace of impatience in him.

His thick eyebrows were slightly knitted, and his expression clearly showed that he was irritated by Aaron but could not do anything about him.

Aaron was usually immodest when he should be, and even more so when he shouldn't be. At this time, he was behaving very normally.

"Who says I'm joking? It's just a

million. If you agreed on it, then so be it. If you don't, then I'll leave with my wife right now. Do you think really want to eat this meal with you? Aaron's face darkened as if he was indeed serious.
