Chapter 1582
He was silently shifting the topic while I couldn't do anything about it. If he got closer, I would getlost in his aura.
A sudden knock on the door interrupted the two of us.
Hearing the sound, Hendrix's ambiguous expression changed a little. He looked up and saw Estellastanding by the door, clearly placed in a difficult situation. Then he sat up straight and said, "Comein."
While I was adjusting my clothes, Estella had approached both of us.
"Mr. Roberts." Estella greeted him and glanced at me. She wanted to speak but stopped on secondthought. It was obvious that she was holding something back.
In fact, there was no need for her to do so. I was also a shareholder of the Roberts Group.
"Just say it," Hendrix reminded her just at the right time, and his tone was restored to his usualindifference.
Estella lowered her gaze and handed the document in her hand to Hendrix. When he lookedthrough it, she explained to him, "At the beginning of the year, we verbally agreed to sign a contractwith several leaders-in-charge of these projects. This afternoon, as if they had all agreed on ittogether, they called our project department to cancel the contract. Those from the projectdepartment confirmed that we will lose some of the projects in this document while the others arestill uncertain. Mr. Ford went to the other party's company in person, hoping to discuss it. However,his secretary asked me to inform you that there doesn't seem to be much hope. It's best if thecompany can figure out a solution and respond to it as soon as possible."
Hendrix's thick eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this, and his face changed drastically once again.He replied with a displeased look, "I get it. Arrange a meeting with the managers of all departmentstomorrow."
Thinking of Freya's analysis, I couldn't help but ask, "Miss Zanes, these projects are invested withinUcrebury, or are they newly developed after arriving in Jarold City?"
The Roberts Group had a deep influence in Ucrebury. Almost the entire construction industry reliedon Roberts Group. Therefore, there was no reason for them to go against the Roberts Group.novelbin
"It's newly developed, Madam," Estella said.
I frowned. If that was the case, it was similar to what Freya was worried about. Those in Jarold Citywho were jealous of Hendrix had already begun to take action.
Hendrix glanced at me, closed the folder, and ordered Estella to leave, "You can leave. I'll call you ifthere's anything."
"Alright." After that, Estella left.
As soon as the door closed, Hendrix asked, "What do you know?"
"Mhm?" I was stunned and looked at him blankly.
Hendrix sighed and said meaningfully, "At the start of the year, you didn't interfere much in RobertsGroup's matters. In terms of construction, you don't know much about it either. But just now, youquestioned Estella all of a sudden, so it's obvious that you've been thinking about something for along time. Mrs. Roberts, we' re married for ten years. Do you think you can still hide anything fromme?"
I laughed. Even without more than ten years of rapport, Hendrix could still see through people'sthoughts. "Well, you're right. I indeed came here for this matter."
It was not a small matter to stop Hendrix's development plan. I collected myself and placed my handon the back of his hand, looking solemn and dignified. "Hendrix, I always know that you're capable,but can you not push yourself too hard? It was only years ago that you moved the company'sheadquarters to Jarold City. Now that so many projects have gone wrong, shouldn't you considerconsolidating the foundation first and putting the financial affair aside? As you said, the GW group iswith bad intentions. You'll get in trouble if you rush everything too prematurely."
Hendrix's gaze darkened, and he squinted his eyes slightly. After a while, he asked, "What didFreya tell you?"
