Chapter 181
The wine tasted even worse than the first sip he took, so Hendrix couldn’t help but frown.
Then, he saw that figure in white.
He stood on the high floor, and everything below seemed to become just a blur of spots. But even then, Hendrix instantly recognized her. He could even see her standing by the trash can, throwing something into it. His grip on the glass tightened instantly.
After a long pause, he slowly released it.
Hendrix knew that he had never been someone driven by intense emotions. It stemmed from Beatrice’s teachings when he was young. Now, when he thought of her, the first thing that came to his mind was still her calm tone and the smile that always seemed too polished.
Hendrix once believed that he had no attachment toward her until the moment she was in danger.
He suddenly realized something. She was the person in this world who was closest to him and blood–related to him. He had once existed inside of her. A tiny umbilical cord had connected them, tying them together. And this emotion reached its peak the moment he saw her will.
She said she didn’t want to let him down, but she also didn’t want to betray herself, so she chose to leave in this
way.
Yet even in her departure, she still gave him the information about the illegitimate child and all of her assets and shares. Those assets were separate from Amity Group.
She said that if, one day, he no longer wanted to fight with anyone, he could choose to leave. This fortune would be enough for him to live without worry. As her mother, her biggest wish was for him to live a happy life.
It was funny. For nearly 30 years, she had never complimented him. As a result, Hendrix had always felt that no matter what he did, she was never satisfied.

But in that will, Hendrix clearly understood one thing. Beatrice loved him, and not as the successor to Freeman family, but as a simple mother to her son.
Realizing this, then looking at the person lying on the hospital bed, he could only feel a mix of sadness and irony.
What did it matter that she had planned everything for him What did it matter that she had shown so much love for him?
It was all too late.
With that thought, Hendrix didn’t hesitate any longer. He drained the glass of wine in one gulp and turned toward his bedroom.
A sleepless night passed.
Even though he hadn’t slept at all, Hendrix still woke up on time the next day and went to the hospital.

Lloyd’s family still refused to take his body.
The elderly man, with his graying hair, sat every day outside Beatrice’s hospital room, claiming that she had to pay for their son’s life.
Hendrix knew exactly what they wanted–money. But the surveillance footage made it clear that at the time,

Lloyd was the driver.
And the will left by Lloyd showed that he had voluntarily chosen this path.
It was stupid to want compensation from the Freeman family.
The public opinion was growing more and more intense, and at this point, choosing to appease things might have been the best way to handle it. However, Hendrix didn’t choose to go down that path.
When he encountered the elderly couple today, he remained indifferent, just as he had before.
“It’s that bitch who manipulated my son! If it weren’t for her, he’d still be alive! Why did he have to die? And why isn’t she the one dead instead?”
Hendrix finally stopped in his tracks.
