Noelle remained standing there, calmly looking at Hendrix.Hendrix met her gaze for a moment longer before his smile gradually vanished. Then, in a calm voice, he said, "Alright. Let's go home."And with that, he strode forward and grabbed Noelle's hand without hesitation."Where do you think you're going?" Jean's voice rang out behind them. "Hendrix Freeman, do you really think we're that easy to bully? Do you even know who you just hit? You—""Call the police," Hendrix cut her off calmly. "And while you're at it, have the restaurant check the surveillance footage. Then, you'll understand exactly why I hit him."That indifferent attitude of his left Jean completely speechless.Hendrix didn't spare her another glance. After he finished speaking, he simply grabbed Noelle's hand and marched forward quickly—so quickly that Noelle had to half-jog just to keep up.In their rush, she hadn't taken her coat or scarf. The moment they stepped outside, the biting wind hit her, sending an i

Finally, Noelle said, "Back in Dynalis, the last time I lowered my pride and asked you—if you had given me even the slightest chance back then, I wouldn't have become so completely cold to you. But what did you do instead? "You took Sandra on a trip there, and even worse… she ended up pregnant."At that, Noelle couldn't help but let out a laugh that dripped with mockery.Hendrix had looked utterly defeated just moments ago, but the second he heard that, his eyes snapped up. "What did you just say? Who told you her child was mine?"Noelle didn't answer.Hendrix immediately pieced it together himself. "It was Sandra, wasn't it? The day you two ran into each other in the hospital? Why didn't you ask me? I could have explai—""That won't be necessary," Noelle cut him off. "I didn't ask because I didn't care. If the baby is yours, then it's yours. What does that have to do with me?"Just like that, Hendrix was silenced. He stared at the woman in front of him and suddenly realized—he

When Noelle woke up, the sky outside was already bright. The snowing had stopped, but inside the house, she was still alone.Noelle had thought Hendrix would come talk to her today. After all, based on her understanding of him, he was never one to drag things out for too long. The longer it dragged on, the more it would seem like he had lost.But this time, Noelle was wrong again.Hendrix didn't come back the entire day. Instead, in the evening, it was Beatrice who called Noelle, asking her to come to the villa in the outskirts.Noelle didn't know what she wanted, but she still went the next day.Perhaps it was the comfortable living environment, but Beatrice looked noticeably better than before. She had also abandoned her usual traditional and expensive outfits. Dressed in casual wear with her hair tied in a simple low ponytail, she looked much younger and more alive.In the past, Noelle had always felt that Beatrice was like a woman trapped inside a picture frame. But now, it w

"Yes, but was this really an investment? This was clearly a trap! Maxwell deliberately set me up!" Craig said."Oh? If that's the case, then I suggest you call the police."As Hendrix finished speaking, the expression on Craig's face slowly faded."If you do report it, I can provide you with some evidence," Hendrix continued, handing over a stack of documents he had already prepared. Craig's expression grew even darker, his chest rising and falling violently."So, you knew all along, and yet, you just stood there, watching me walk right into it! You were waiting for this moment, weren't you?"Hendrix said nothing, but his silence spoke volumes.Craig shot to his feet and grabbed him by the collar. "Are you out of your mind? What could you possibly gain from this? And to think I trusted you! I even married Noelle off to you!"Hendrix glanced down at the hand gripping his collar before speaking again, "Losing your temper at me won't change anything. The money is gone. Even if yo

The figure was thin—almost frail—but carried a reckless, desperate madness.Instinct took over. The moment she lunged forward, Noelle's first reaction was to shield her abdomen.A wave of sheer terror overwhelmed her. Her mind instantly flashed back to the moment on the staircase—when Sandra had pushed her down.Back then, Sandra had worn the same frenzied smile.But this time, the pain Noelle had braced for never came. She opened her eyes, only to see Sandra had already been pinned to the ground by the bodyguards."Let go of me! Hendrix, I hate you! And Noelle, you bitch! It's all because of you! Why did you come back? This was supposed to be my wedding! All of it should have been mine! Why didn't you just die? You should be dead! All of you should be dead!"Sandra kept screaming. It all seemed to be vile and malicious curses, but Noelle had already forgotten the details.Just as Noelle was feeling relieved that she was unharmed, she suddenly heard panicked screams from the cro
