Chapter 144 Ungrateful

"Hendry, I'm in trouble. Can you come over and help me?"

Cecilia's voice was tearful.

She had always been domineering. She was seldom fragile and weak like this. In this case, Cecilia thought that Hendry would definitely be soft-hearted.

She had learned a lot from Alondra. She was also good at acting soft.

However, Hendry's voice was not as nervous as Cecilia had imagined. Instead, it was cold and distant.

"What trouble?"

"I... I can't explain for a while now. Can you come to the auction house now?"

"How do you know that I am not at the auction house now?"

"Mom..."

"You made Mom do that, right?"

Cecilia was stunned. From Hendry's voice, she heard restrained anger.

He must have known the truth!

Cecilia finally panicked. "No, Hendry, listen to me. It's not what you think."

However, this time, Hendry hung up without waiting for Cecilia to continue.
