Oh.
Hendrix still looked emotionless , but he did not reject it .

This way … I want an answer right now ! Hendrix , was it you ? Did you have people target his company ? How could you … Beatrice spoke through gritted teeth .
Why cant I ? Seeing that Dan couldnt take her away , Hendrix no longer bothered to hold back .

He didnt reply immediately , instead staring at her intently .

Alright .

Finally , he responded , Okay .
