Semua Bab The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress: Bab 171 - Bab 180

“What?” Margaux asked, confused. Hendrix looked away and cleared his throat. His ears felt like burning but it instantly eased up upon seeing his parents gawking at him. Suddenly, his anger towards them came back but he tried to ignore them and set aside his rage to give all his attention to Margaux instead. She was his first priority and he will come back to them after Margaux was done talking to him. Slowly, he shifted his gaze back to her and looked straight into her eyes, “I will do everything that you say,” he said firmly. He watched her reaction intently. His heart swelled when he saw a brief spark past her eyes. “Are you sure about that?” she asked. He immediately nodded in response and even smiled at her lip tight. Although he didn’t know what changed and why she suddenly wanted him to stop filing a lawsuit against those horrible people, he would give in to her wants even though it was not really easy because it was about his pride and safety. Margaux looked away a

Hendrix snapped and immediately searched for a taxi, but unfortunately, there was none until Margaux’s car disappeared from his sight. He took out his phone and booked an uber, and he muttered a loud curse when the driver said that it would take half an hour before it could pick him up. He brushed his fingers through his hair. If he only had a car, he wouldn't have any problem there. Why did it never come across his mind to purchase one? He should’ve considered buying it after he got the apartment. He clicked his tongue. “Hendrix. What’s going on?” His mother asked. HIs brows furrowed upon hearing his mother’s voice. Turning around, he saw his parents already standing behind him and looking at him worriedly. “Leave. I don’t want to see you anymore,” he said sternly. “Hendrix, please. Don’t do this to us. We are your parents..” Wilma pleaded and tried to hold his arm. He slapped her hand and glared at her. “Leave before I call the police for harassment!” he hissed.

Hendrix didn’t know how long he stayed hiding behind the tall grasses in the congested area. But it was already dark and he knew those men had already stopped searching as it was too dangerous lurking specially on the place he was staying in. He was aware of that and he was scared as well, however, he had no choice but to stay as it was the only safe place to hide from those people searching for him. He just hoped that no snakes or any creatures would show up and bite him, aside from the insects like mosquitoes and ants that had already been his problem since he sat there. His phone vibrated again at the same time his stomach grumbled. He quickly checked the message and stood up right away upon reading it. With chest thumping loudly, he looked around to double check if there was still anyone lurking around. When he confirmed that the area was clear, he carefully walked through the bushes and followed the map he just received from Liana. He must be crazy for trusting that wo

“What the heck is he doing there?!” she exclaimed. Her chest was thumping wild as she felt a squeezed in her heart. She almost threw her phone and wanted to take her keys and run to her car to drive to the airport. But her rational mind stopped her and just glared at the picture. A hint of jealousy flashed her eyes but she quickly shook it away. From that moment, she won’t entertain any feelings she has for Hendrix in order for her to move on. She would even lie to herself if she needed to. That's how determined she was to forget him. “So what if he leaves with her? I wanted him to leave this country and that's what he is doing. I shouldn't be affected by it,” she muttered, convincing herself. Letting out a heavy breath, she gently placed back her phone on the bedside table and walked to her dressing room. However, as she was wearing her pajamas, a gruesome scene suddenly appeared in her mind as she imagined what the two would do once they successfully reached their destination.

Margaux quickly pushed him. Her eyes were wide as her heart was beating so fast. Their lips just almost pressed against each other, but she felt violated. “Get away from me!” she shouted and stepped backwards. She stumbled but she didn’t fall as one of her bodyguards came and helped her.Meanwhile, Josh looked stunned. He just stood immobile there while staring at her like a statue. He had no reaction when her bodyguards escorted her out and left him alone. “I don’t want to go home yet..” she whined as she realized they were exiting the bar. No one said anything as they didn’t know what to respond. Their job was to protect her and keep her safe but forcing her to go home was out of their job description. Margaux was about to go back when a hand suddenly stopped her by grabbing her arm.“You’re not going back there,” a familiar voice said. She was about to lash out but the words got stuck in her throat upon realizing it was her cousin Daisy. In an instant, her face lit up and she
