Chapter 145 "And since she doesn't exist, you might as well marry a woman who can help you with your career," argued Beatrice, all logic.

Hendrix was familiar with this side of her. After all, he wouldn't be where he was now if she hadn't brought him up that way.

His question stumped Beatrice.

Hendrix chuckled softly. "It's true I don't have anyone I like right now, but that doesn't mean I'll be willing to use my marriage as a barter. So, no. I'm not going to marry Yvonne, nor will I have any other
