"What do you mean?" Hendrix asked in a low voice.Noelle pulled the cake over but didn't eat it. She just simply replied, "Have you handled Amity Group's matter?"Hendrix did not expect her to ask this.Before he could answer, she continued, "The crisis last year was just a facade, right? You told me before that Amity Group, with its decades of history, has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it's a nationally recognized enterprise with a solid reputation and foundation."The disadvantage is that over these decades, the motivation of many employees has been ground down to almost nothing—especially certain relatives and friends of a few shareholders. You're well aware of their lack of contribution to the company, but you can't completely remove them. "After all, these are the veteran shareholders who fought alongside your father and even your grandfather. Taking action against them would harm your reputation. So, you've actually been waiting for an opportunity.

By the time Hendrix finished speaking, Noelle was stunned.Then, she chuckled. "Really? So, did you win?"Hendrix didn't answer her, as if it was pointless. He left with his belongings, and he closed the door without any emotions as well.Noelle didn't spare him another glance.To be honest, she didn't want to say what she said just now because it was meaningless. They had ended, so bringing up the past was really unnecessary.Just like a rotten fruit, it was best to just throw it away instead of cutting it layer by layer to find where the rotten part was. Should she wait until the very end when they found the rotten core to finally admit it? Well, it was wrong from the very beginning.Noelle had many questions in her mind. It was ever since Oliver told her about Amity Group and the fact that Beatrice had woken up. She had been thinking these past few days, and she almost confronted Hendrix when she saw him. Yet, she still managed to control herself.Until today….But what surp

Hendrix stared at the photo for a long time.When Dan and the manager of the development department came to report, they noticed that he wasn't responding. It was at this moment that Dan noticed Hendrix looked off. "Mr. Freeman?"Upon hearing Dan's voice, Hendrix finally looked up. His eyes remained calm when he did so.Dan even thought he saw it wrongly, but he didn't say anything and just handed him the documents. "These are from the development department. You need to sign them."Hendrix nodded and took his pen while Dan and the others stood beside him, waiting.Based on Hendrix's usual speed in scanning through and signing the documents, it usually took only a few short seconds. But this time, they noticed that his gaze remained fixed on the first page."Mr. Freeman?"Dan could only remind him, but the manager's voice was already shaking. "Mr. Freeman, i-is something wrong?"Hendrix did not say anything and just flipped through the pages before landing the tip of his pen on

When Hendrix was a child, he once came across a stray cat at his school. The kitten seemed to have just been born and had no mother by its side. It lay weakly in the grass, meowing softly. Hendrix merely glanced at it, but he didn't have much sympathy. So, he quickly continued walking. What he didn't expect was for the kitten to follow him. Though his pace wasn't slow, and the kitten could barely stand, it still stumbled along after him. When Hendrix was about to reach the school gates, he finally stopped. Then, he went to a nearby snack shop and bought a sausage to give it to the kitten. The kitten ate happily.From that day on, every time Hendrix finished school, he would see it. It would approach him on its own, rub against his palm, and then obediently wait to be fed.One day, Hendrix began carrying snacks in his school bag. On the weekend, he even made a special trip to the supermarket to buy a bag of cat food. He had even made up his mind. After feeding the kitten on

Perhaps because Noelle looked so bewildered, Dylan couldn't help but chuckle. Then, he lowered his head and placed a light kiss on her lips, like a dragonfly skimming water, fleeting and brief. Afterward, he reached out and ruffled her hair. "Alright. Go on in."Noelle was still a bit dazed, but she didn't say anything. She simply glanced at him before turning and getting out of the car.Craig was already waiting for her in the office. As soon as Noelle entered, the first thing he asked about was the Continental Reach project."I'm not entirely sure what went wrong, as I've only received a one-sided notification. But rest assured, Mr. Swanson. I will investigate thoroughly and provide you with a satisfactory answer," Noelle replied in a very official tone.After Craig stared at her, he said, "Did you not contact those from Amity Group?""Not for now, but I will…""This is the email I received just now. Have a look," Craig cut her off and handed her the documents.Noelle found
