Ophelia quickly stormed off in a huff.
Nathan stood there, frozen. It wasn’t until a long moment had passed that he finally came back to his senses. He rushed forward and grabbed Hendrix by the collar.
“So, you knew everything! You’ve always known, yet you let me go ahead with it. You did this on purpose!” Hendrix simply smiled. “As an adult, if you can’t even manage the most basic form of self–control, who can you blame?”
“This was clearly a trap you deliberately set up for me!”
“Yeah, but it’s always up to you whether you choose to step into it or not. I never held a gun to your head and forced you to do it.”
As he spoke, Hendrix calmly raised his hand and methodically pried Nathan’s fingers off his collar one by one. “Oh, by the way, I should mention–I actually have shares in Konray Capital, too,” Hendrix said with a faint smile. “That deal you got involved in? It was tailored specifically for you, including the stock market manager I arranged for you. Otherwise, how else do you think you managed to make so much so quickly, only to find you can’t even get your principal back?”
Nathan had only been suspicious earlier. Though he questioned loudly, at most he just thought that Hendrix probably knew what he was up to but simply chose not to stop him.

Hendrix had already returned to his seat, but his expression was vacant, as though something vital had been drained from him.
Once they were in the car, Hendrix immediately made a call instructing someone to report the situation regarding Nathan’s mortgaged shares.
Noelle frowned, watching him intently.
“What’s wrong?” Hendrix asked with a smile. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“If you do that, won’t Amity Group’s stock price be affected too?!!
“Yeah, I know.” Hendrix’s response was crisp and direct.
Noelle Instantly understood–this was exactly the outcome he was alming for. Without this, how could be swallow Nathan’s shares?

This was the Hendrix she knew–cold–blooded and ruthless. As long as he achieved his goal, he didn’t care about the means, nor would he hesitate even for a second.
It was at this moment that Noelle understood why Erwin had come here.
The stock market manager Hendrix mentioned was probably him. Nathan would be nothing more than a bug in their hands with Hendrix and Erwin working together.
As Noelle was thinking about this, Hendrix suddenly grasped her hand.
Startled, she instinctively tried to pull her hand away. But Hendrix quickly tightened his grip.
“Do you think I’m cruel?” he asked.
“A little.”
Hendrix immediately frowned

It was in human nature to be contradictory.
He wanted her to accept everything about him without reservation, yet he feared that his image in her eyes would become too negative.
