Ophelia quickly stormed off in a huff.Nathan stood there, frozen. It wasn't until a long moment had passed that he finally came back to his senses. He rushed forward and grabbed Hendrix by the collar."So, you knew everything! You've always known, yet you let me go ahead with it. You did this on purpose!"Hendrix simply smiled. "As an adult, if you can't even manage the most basic form of self-control, who can you blame?""This was clearly a trap you deliberately set up for me!""Yeah, but it's always up to you whether you choose to step into it or not. I never held a gun to your head and forced you to do it."As he spoke, Hendrix calmly raised his hand and methodically pried Nathan's fingers off his collar one by one."Oh, by the way, I should mention—I actually have shares in Konray Capital, too," Hendrix said with a faint smile. "That deal you got involved in? It was tailored specifically for you, including the stock market manager I arranged for you. Otherwise, how else d

Noelle said nothing more. But the way she silently looked at Sandra was nothing short of mockery and disdain in Sandra's eyes.She trembled involuntarily and clenched her teeth tightly. But then, just as quickly, she let out a laugh. "Oh, really? Such wonderful news, and yet, I had no idea. Should I be congratulating you, then?""Do as you please," Noelle replied. "Whether you congratulate me or not, it makes no difference to me."Contempt—that was what Sandra could clearly feel radiating from Noelle's gaze. As if everything she had desperately fought for meant nothing at all to Noelle.In truth, that seemed to be the reality.Over the years, Sandra had done so much for Hendrix. She had exhausted every possible effort, desperately trying to make him notice her and to replace Noelle's place in his heart. But in the end, he still chose Noelle. At this moment, Noelle stood before her with an air of absolute superiority, looking down on her with indifference."It's not really that

At the beginning of December, Noelle and Hendrix went to take their wedding photos. This time, everything progressed much more smoothly than when they got married the first time.Hendrix had Noelle's wedding dress specially custom-made, and according to the stylist, just the tiny diamonds on the dress alone cost more than an average person's annual salary.When the stylist mentioned this, her voice and expression were filled with envy. But Noelle felt nothing at all.After finishing their second outfit change, Noelle unexpectedly ran into someone in a theme park's lobby.At first, she hadn't recognized the woman.For today's wedding photoshoot, Hendrix had rented out the entire amusement park. Even though there were no tourists, plenty of staff were still around.So at first, Noelle assumed the woman was just another park employee. That was until she heard her call out, "Ms. Swanson."Noelle stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her."You don't recognize me, do you?" The

"Dylan, what do you think you're doing?" The moment Jean caught up to Dylan, she demanded an answer. "You're seriously going to give me an attitude in front of everyone?"Dylan stopped in his tracks. Then, he turned around and glanced at Jean before saying, "I didn't mean to do it.""You didn't mean to do it?" Jean let out a cold laugh. "Are you joking? Then tell me—what exactly were you trying to do back there?""I just don't see the point of this dinner," Dylan replied expressionlessly. "So, I didn't want to waste my time.""You don't see the point? Don't you know who Hendrix is? He's the general manager of Amity Group! Do you have any idea how many people in Coppersville would kill for a chance to have dinner with him?""That's them, not me."Jean stared at him for a long moment before suddenly laughing. "Oh? Do you still think you're the same high-and-mighty professor as before? Or maybe… you just hate Hendrix because he stole the woman you loved the most?""Jean." Dylan's g

Noelle immediately stopped and turned to him.That calm, almost puzzled gaze only pierced Dylan deeper.After a long pause, he finally asked, "Are you looking down on me, too?""No," Noelle answered without hesitation. "I already said—I think you did well, and I can understand why you did what you did. Besides, my choices weren't all that different from yours. So, what right do I have to look down on you?"Dylan instantly fell silent at her words. Then, he smiled bitterly. "Is that so?""Yeah, so—"Noelle had been about to pull her wrist free, but Dylan tightened his grip and asked, "So, do you not hate them?"Noelle frowned."I actually have a very direct way to get revenge on them. Do you want to know what it is?"As Dylan spoke, he leaned in closer to Noelle—so much so that she could see the sinister glint in his eyes. But more than that, she saw his trembling lips.And because she saw it so clearly, she didn't dodge. In fact, she didn't even shift in the slightest. She si
