The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 710

Hendrix was currently in the living room, facing the courtyard. The front gate was tightly shut. Several men stood guard in the courtyard, clutching hoes and hammers, ready to stop him if he tried to make a run for it.

Hendrix found their vigilance almost laughable. Even if they hadn't been standing guard, he had no intention of trying to escape—because there was simply no need.

He leisurely sipped his coffee, then turned to the man in front of him, Tony Gill. "If you had asked for five million dollars from the beginning, I might have agreed to it. But you didn't. That's because someone's been guiding you behind the scenes, isn't it? And you stand to gain more from them than from me."

Hendrix's voice was calm, his lips curling into a faint smile as he stared confidently at Tony.

Tony's eyes widened slightly.

"Is there more to your brother's death than meets the eye?" Hendrix continued.

"What nonsense are you talking about? My brother died because of you. That's all there is to it. You unscrupulous developers will do anything for profit. If it weren't for—"

"That's fine. I don't blame you for not telling the truth. After all, you've been paid to keep your mouth shut," Hendrix interrupted. "But some things in life are predestined. If it's not meant to be yours, even if you manage to get your hands on it, I'm afraid you won't have the fortune to enjoy it."

As he spoke, Hendrix set his coffee cup down on the table. The soft thud made the man across from him flinch.

"My people will probably deliver the money soon, so you can leave for now."
