Chapter 24

Sandra's arm was linked with Hendrix. They were both wearing matching blue outfits. At a glance, it looked like they were the perfect couple.

Noelle felt as if she had been slapped by her own husband. Bitterness welled up in her. Not even the cake could push the bitter taste away.

She did not continue her conversation with Maxwell. Instead, she placed her cake down on the table. Just as she turned to leave, Sandra saw her.

"Noelle!"

Her voice was loud and clear. It was impossible for Noelle not to hear her. At the same time, Maxwell stepped in front of her, blocking her path of escape.

Noelle frowned at him.

Maxwell did not look at her. He looked straight ahead and smiled, putting out his hand. "Mr. Freeman. I've heard a lot about you."

Hendrix ignored Noelle, who had turned her back to him, and shook Maxwell's hand. "Pleasure to meet you."

"Max, long time no see!" Sandra greeted Maxwell excitedly as well. Her eyes were large and bright, shining almost as bright as the stars.
