"Why did he go to the Notary Public Office?" I blurted out.
"I don't know. It's probably just business. It wasn't his place to do much anyway," Aaron replied.
That's true. No matter what, Hendrix was still the legal representative of the company. It was reasonable for him to go deal with some relevant documents.
Aaron told me more information and then hung up the phone.
Aurelia had already fallen asleep in the bedroom. After waiting for a whole day without any news, I was upset. Hence, I poured myself a glass of red wine, leaned against the sofa, and drank while pondering.
In the end, I eventually fell asleep on the sofa.
When I opened my eyes again, there was a vague figure of a man sitting in front of me. I subconsciously felt that it was Hendrix. Hence, I muttered, "You are back..."
Gradually, my vision became clearer. Only then did I see clearly that it wasn't Hendrix in front of me, but it was Jordan, the evil devil.
The moment our eyes met, I shrugged my shoulders subconsciously and muttered to myself in my heart, "Is this a dream or a reality?" However, Jordan smirked. He smiled, looking excited. "Even the brave Arianna who would sacrifice anything for love is actually afraid of seeing me?" The disgust in his voice instantly brought me back to reality. I glared at him coldly and gritted my teeth. "You are wrong. Anyone who sees dirty things will avoid it. We are not the same. I know how to differentiate what's right and wrong. I'll restrain myself. I live my life honestly, and there's nothing that I'm afraid of. But you, you have done all the bad things, and I'm sure you can't even sleep well at night. I wonder how scared you would be when the police come looking for you."
"You are wrong again." Jordan didn't react much. He untied the scarf that was around his neck and said, "I don't care about those stupid policemen at all. I can always run away from everything and leave at any time I want, then live an ordinary life."
"That's just what you think. Breaking the law means there's no turning back. The law won't allow people like you to manipulate the regulations just as you wish."
Jordan suddenly laughed and turned to look at me contemptuously. "When you were a lawyer, you didn't even debate so passionately in court, but why now? Does arguing with me make you feel even more like a lawyer?"
His eyes and attitude looked like he wasn't affected by what my threat at all.
I didn't show any signs of fear as well and just tried my best to defend myself. "Maybe it's because the lawyer's nature is the same as that of the police. We are both full of a sense of justice. When facing the people who break the law, our inner power shows its strength naturally."
Jordan nodded and did not refute.
I stared at him warily. He got up, turned around, and took a glass from the bar counter. Then, he sat back on the sofa naturally, picked up the red wine that I opened, and poured himself a glass. Then, he raised his head and drank it all at once.
I clenched my fists nervously and sat up in a different position. My heart was beating very fast.
At this moment, Aurelia was in the bedroom. Wynn and Neal were both in the other rooms. If Jordan wanted to do anything harmful, I'm afraid could only protect Aurelia. Wynn and Neal were both smart children. I was hoping that they could adapt to the situation and hide first. If
"I'll accept your challenge." Jordan's sudden words interrupted my thoughts.
Sure enough, no matter how shrewd a person was, he would still fall into a trap.
But the next second, Jordan
ruthlessly shattered my hopes.
"Don't be too excited just yet. Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? You want me to fall in love with someone else, and then you'll control them. You want to use them
