MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

Part 33 Continue

Nathan could not understand.
Alexis stood in the corridor of the hotel and looked at the man wearing a suit and leather shoes. He looked handsome and had the air of a scholar.
H

endrix… I know. You and my sister’s story is already history.”

The Mayers Group was going to shoot a large-scale film. After alexis learned of it, she eventually managed to find out that Sean was going to have a meal in this hotel, and from there it was a matter of prudent planning and plotting to find the opportunity to meet Sean.

Since claire was still unwilling to go and beg Sean, she had to come on her own!

When hendrix heard the word “sister” he was slightly stunned. The scene involving claire in the club a few days ago came to his mind.
Although that woman had once been the woman he loved, it was also because of her that the Stevens family had nearly been destroyed.
If it were not for the fact that he had broken up with her in time, and that the Atkinson family had helped the Stevens family, perhaps the Mayers Group would have become a third-rate company now!

He recalled seeing her at the country club-they’d dined there many times when they dated-and when she stood there in her ugly navy blue uniform, with stains on the ankles and her hair in some sloppy ponytail, all he could think was ‘my, how she’d fallen.’ He hated dan but not enough to champion his ex-girlfriend.
Claire had been brilliant and hardworking. She was on the fast track to becoming a senator. She had the brains and the looks for it. Until Seeing her at the bottom rung of society, literally learning garbage and sweeping streets, He could hardly believe it. Thinking of this, the scene of her climbing desperately towards him with her nails being pulled out flashed through his mind. She kept saying that she had been wronged!
He almost believed her, but there were both witnesses and material evidence. How could she have been wrongly accused?
This woman, in the end, still refused to admit her guilt And he hated her for it.
She deserved every bit of evil that came her way.
“It’s good that you understand claire said coldly.Alexis continued, “Well… I’m now the only one in our family that can be counted on. I hope that I can be responsible for some important roles and earn more money to support my family, but it’s just that I don’t have any background, and my sister has been in prison. It will be difficult for me to get a good role.”
Alexis tried her best to frame the current situation in a miserable way, hoping to garner sympathy.

However hendrix’s expression was still frosty alexis kept trying and said, “After all, my sister once enjoyed living a good life. I can’t bear to see her being too down and out. I hope I can make more money and give her a better life now. I don’t know if you…”

“Nerve you saying that!” A voice suddenly rang out. A beautiful and fashionable woman dressed in a brown coat approached them. She laughed coldly when she noticed alexis. “I was wondering who this is, but I recall you now. Turns out, you’re that murderer’s little sister.”

Alexis’s expression immediately turned unpleasant. She recognized that the woman standing before her was audrey hendrix’s current fiancée.
Audrey approached alexis with a disdainful gaze. “I remember you’re just some B-list actress. So, you’ve come to find hendrix today and persuade him in the hope that he will give you at leading lady role? Have you no dignity?”

Alexis was extremely embarrassed by the scolding. It just so happened that other people were coming and going along. the corridor at that moment, staring at them as if they were watching a play.
Alexis could only curse claire internally. “If she hadn’t killed someone while driving, I would already have gracefully become a popular celebrity and not have to suffer this punishment.”

Alexis had completely forgotten that the several good roles she had first gotten were by virtue of claire’s relationships.

“What? Are you still not leaving audrey asked, displeased.
Alexis could only smile as she looked at hendrix “If I just left now, wouldn’t I have wasted a trip today?”

“You have wasted a trip. And you should leave. Your sister and I have nothing to do with each other anymore hendrix said.

“But... Alexis still had more to say.

Audrey  huffed coldly and said to alexis “If you don’t leave now, I’ll ask security to kick you out!”
Alexis bit her lip. She had no choice but to leave and planned to find more opportunities in the future.

Audrey looked at hendrix “You can’t still be thinking about claire right? Just now alexis kept chirping. Aren’t you afraid of isaac  getting word of it? Don’t forget, your sister almost married him once.”
The statement sounded like a warning.
Hendrix’s gaze darkened. “How could I possibly forget? The name ‘isaac  is like a sword hanging over the head of the Mayers family. For three years, the mayer family has not had a peaceful day.”

“Exactly! And the initiator of all of this is claire ! The meeting with isaac which we put so much effort into planning was also shattered because of her.”
Claire served only a three-year sentence. She got off easily.”

“Don’t get me started. Hendrix  shoved his plate away, his appetite gone.
“Be careful, future husband, audrey warned.
“Give me a break. All right. I understand. I won’t pay any attention to alex, she was just trying to pull strings. I also told her that claire and I have nothing to do with each other!” hendrix pulled audrey toward him and kissed her hard. “A few days ago, when claire was harassed by daniel brook, did I lift a finger? No. Of course not.”
Audrey shrugged. “That was quite the spectacle.”
Claire had nearly been raped in front of a roomful of people. ‘Spectacle’ was putting it mildly.

Then… that whole debacle with daniel. The man was a Grade A Asshole, but even still, seeing him humiliated like that, and in one of his own clubs, no less. It left an uneasy feeling in Sean’s stomach.
“Come audrey  said. “Our friends are waiting for us.
She flashed him a practiced smile. Hendrix nodded.

Only then did audrey’s mood improve slightly. She guided lewis back to a private room where their friends were waiting.

He’d been too preoccupied to wait to eat, so he’d dined alone, but now he’d have to sit through several courses and who knew how many drinks.

He steeled himself for a long night.

“This is for us audrey reminded him. “A pre-engagement party before our actual engagement party.” She nudged his shoulder. “Try and smile.”
Lewis grinned and slid into business mode. These people were in his same social circle and some of the guys were from upstart tech companies. He knew to play his cards right. Any one of these young men might someday be chairman of billion-dollar industries.

He made small talk and like a good host, he made sure each guest felt engaged.

Suddenly, someone mentioned the 99 three-dimensional Projection Ads hendrix had commissioned throughout the city.

Audrey basked in the attention. Guys ribbed him for setting the bar too high for any of them to compare, while audrey smiled like such a vow of love was her due.

“Hey,” belle Sanchez said, drawing their party’s attention. “We’re here!”

What? Lewis didn’t know what she was talking about. The young actress clapped her hands and ran over to the windows.

“Come!” she said, snapping her fingers at the waiters waiting in the corners of the room. “Open these curtains,” she told them. “The art gallery is opposite this hotel… and it has a massive billboard 3-D projector… We can enjoy the show right now, right here.” She lifted her glass. “Cheers!”
“Here! Here!”
Glasses were raised all around as the curtains were drawn open.
Audrey stood at the head of the table, glowing and giggling.”Oh, you guys…”

However, after the curtains opened, moments passed and there was no appearance of the ad. The wall opposite the hotel was lit only by ordinary lights.

“What happened? Could the Projection Ad be broken belle asked in astonishment.
