"Hendrix, Clark is my friend. I just don't want you talking about him like that," Noelle said. She bit her lip and added, "He got hurt because of me tonight. I—"Hendrix laughed suddenly, his smile sending a shiver through Noelle."Noelle, have you forgotten the agreement we made?""I've told you. Clark and I are just friends. I—""If you're just friends, why lie?" Hendrix's voice grew colder, his gaze fixed on her.Noelle was about to deny it, but Hendrix cut her off, "Last week, the night you were late, you were with him, right?"Her words were caught in her throat, and Hendrix didn't give her a chance to answer. "If I'm not mistaken, you showered before going to Percy Gardens. What was it that made you need to shower?""We were just walking around the food festival!" she said quickly."So, you were with him," he said, his smile returning.Noelle's throat tightened, and she was speechless.Hendrix's smile grew wider as he watched her reaction. He reached for the cigaret

It was Noelle's first time seeing Hendrix like that. In fact, his current expression was far more interesting than his typical calm and composed demeanor.Noelle also finally realized at that moment that his emotions were triggered due to her. That was really interesting. But it made sense. Any man who heard what she said earlier would be enraged. In contrast, she was feeling extremely at ease. She met his gaze for a moment before asking, "Didn't I make it clear earlier? I said…"Before she could finish speaking, Hendrix suddenly raised his hand. Noelle was very familiar with that movement. After all, she had experienced slaps often since she was a child. She even shut her eyes subconsciously, waiting for his slap. Yet the expected sting did not happen for a long time. She slowly blinked open her eyes. Hendrix's hand still hung in midair. His brows were still furrowed, and she noticed that the vein on his temple was throbbing. Noelle ended up laughing after looking at him.

"Sorry, Mr. Townsend. Noelle isn't free to answer your call now." Hendrix moved away from Noelle's skirt. At that moment, Hendrix was using one hand to undo his belt. He held the phone with his other hand while talking to Clark. "But don't worry. She's doing quite well now."While speaking, Hendrix's gaze was fixed on Noelle the whole time. After letting out the scream earlier, she seemed to have completely given up on struggling. She merely stared at the top of the car in a daze. Noelle didn't even respond to Hendrix's glance. She seemed not to have heard Clark's reply. After speaking to Clark, Hendrix had actually ended the call right away. He did not hesitate to press himself on Noelle. Even at that moment, their bodies seemed to fit each other perfectly. Hendrix's malicious gaze from earlier held a hint of delight. His slightly bloodshot eyes were filled with lust that could only surface at that moment. Noelle no longer struggled anymore. Her hands, which Hendrix had pi

"I've prepared a gift for her. You can take it with you when the time comes," Ophelia said. "That boy from the Quinlan family... His status may be lacking, but this is ultimately the Swanson family's matter. "I just hope the two of them can be happy."As Ophelia spoke, her gaze seemed fixed on Hendrix, as if waiting for his reaction.But Hendrix remained calm, responding only with a brief "mm".Beatrice, who had been silent until then, suddenly spoke up, "Noelle will probably be at the engagement banquet, right?"That name was rarely mentioned in Freeman Manor anymore, but as soon as Beatrice said it, the other two in the room slightly frowned."Isn't she no longer connected to the Swanson family?" Ophelia asked, glancing at Hendrix.Hendrix continued eating without a change in expression, the slight furrow in his brows fading as though it had never been there.Beatrice replied, "There will be many media at the event. Regardless of the situation, the Swanson family will certai

On the way to Serene Street, Hendrix noticed a post from Brandon on his feed.The location was marked as Sintrun, but he wasn't alone. Hendrix could see a person in a white trench coat in the corner of the photo. Who else could it be but Noelle?Hendrix frowned and said without a second thought, "Stop the car."The driver glanced at him in confusion, but before he could respond, Hendrix had already locked his phone. "Turn around. Head to Amity Tower."The taxi ran on a metered fare, so the driver didn't protest, only muttering under his breath as he turned the vehicle around.Hendrix sat there, staring blankly out the window.After tapping a few times on his phone screen, he finally dialed his assistant. "Book me a flight to Sintrun."…Noelle was currently in Sintrun. The movie was adapted from her work, but her involvement in the screenplay wasn't significant, so this trip wasn't strictly necessary.However, Sandra's engagement banquet happened to be over these two days. So,
