How could I say that he was right? I couldn't just praise him for being smart.
It turned out Jordan knew that I was scheming against him. Hence, what would he do next? Kill everyone?
I looked at him calmly, but in my heart, I thought that as long as he could let Aurelia and the others go, I was willing to kneel down and beg for mercy.
While I was in a daze, I heard Jordan say in a very deep voice, "But even so, you will not succeed. I will prove it to you that even if I really fall in love with someone else and have it become my weakness, you are still no match for me."
After that, he fiddled with the glass of wine. After a while, he noticed that I didn't respond. Hence, he turned and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
"What do you want me to say?" I gulped to calm myself down. "I can understand every single word you say, but it's really hard to understand when you say them all together. I can only tell you that I'm sorry, but I'm not as powerful as you. Hence, I can't communicate with you at all."
"I know that you are saying this to catch my attention, but let me remind you that I don't have a good temper. You'd better restrain yourself. Otherwise, you may not have the chance to wait until the day when you can plot against me." Jordan's expression was dark, and his aura was cold.
After making sure that he did not have the intention to kill anyone at this moment, I was less afraid. However, I still restrained myself and did not continue to argue with him.
Jordan turned his face, took out two stamps from his pocket, and threw them on the table.
One of them rolled towards me and just happened to be facing me. At a glance, it turned out to be the Robert's Group stamp.
"What is this?" I asked.
"There are still some documents that I've already sent to your email. From today onwards, Hendrix will have nothing to do with the Roberts Group and this family."
I plucked up the courage to negotiate, "Could you fall in love with someone else instead?" "No." "Then, there's nothing left to talk about. Let's part ways. You can leave now."
"Don't try to challenge my patience." Jordan was about to lose his temper.
I closed my eyes and leaned forward. "I'll be dead no matter what. You might as well kill me right now and let me go in peace."
The whole room was silent for a long time, and there was no movement from him as well.
I tried to open my eyes, only to notice that Jordan was staring at me the whole time. We were very close to each other, but at this moment, I couldn't feel the strong hostility from him.
"If we want to compare, we would have to use the same person. You are Hendrix's beloved woman, so of course, I'll have to choose you. Besides, compared with other women, you are the only one who surprised me again and again. I guess that according to your words, it means that I have good feelings for you. This is not the matter of life and death. I'm only going to give you one chance to defeat me. Do you really want to give up?"
