Chapter 91

Sandra had a whole plan, and she even prepared a dance to further her personal agenda tonight. However, all of it went down the drain, and it was all because of Noelle.Noelle wore a mask, and her appearance was completely different from her usual getup. However, Sandra recognized her at first glance.At that moment, Sandra had the strong urge to make a dash at Noelle and tear off the latter's mask or just give her a hard shove. However, she did nothing of the sort. After all, she would've destroyed the image she had painstakingly maintained all these years.Sandra remained where she stood. She nearly ground her teeth to dust with how much gnashing she was doing. But aside from that, there was nothing else she could've done. This moment suddenly took Sandra back to when she was 14 years old. It was the time when she heard that Noelle would rejoin the Swanson family. For the last ten years, Sandra had reveled in all the attention and affection she received in the Swanson family.

"Six o'clock. Do you see the man standing there?" Brandon asked. He and Noelle were dancing. So, their bodies were pressed up against each other. It had been a long time since Noelle had done something this fun, and her breathing became a little uneven now. The tip of her nose was covered in sweat as well.After she heard what Brandon asked, she immediately looked over. "Yeah. So?""That's the son of Brennan Townsend, the CEO of Tidalwave Holdings. He has been watching you for a while now. I'll introduce you two later, and you'll dance with him for a while. How does that sound?"Noelle chuckled. "Why should I?""I'm going to collaborate with Brennan." Brandon didn't hide anything from Noelle, either. He continued, "If you help me this once, I will let you have direct shares in the production of your comic adaptation. If the TV series becomes insanely popular, you'll get your fair share of profits as well."Noelle merely chuckled again. It seemed like she wasn't much interest

"You're going to have to get in line, mister," Clark said as he turned around with a grin on his face. Hendrix responded calmly, "I beg to differ. I think the lady gets to choose who she's dancing with."What he said had Clark stumped. Hendrix no longer looked at Clark. Instead, his gaze was fixed on Noelle. His eyes had always displayed calmness, but it seemed like there were some repressed feelings underneath them.Noelle's hands hung by her side, and she couldn't help but clench her fists. After a brief moment, she suddenly giggled and rested her hand on Clark's palm. She agreed to dance with him. Hendrix's expression instantly darkened, and he clenched his palm. He intended to look at Noelle again, but she had already turned around with Clark. He gnashed his teeth as he looked at their retreating figures.At that moment, Brandon stepped forward and said, "Hi, Mr. Freeman."Hendrix looked at him with a blank face. Brandon continued with a smile on his face, "I didn't thi

Noelle and Clark's negotiation went smoothly. In fact, they went ahead with their second dance instead of leaving the dance floor even when the first song had ended."I don't think I've got your name yet," Clark couldn't resist asking her.Raising an eyebrow, she replied, "It's a masquerade ball. I don't see a need for us to exchange names.""But you already know who I am. Isn't that a little unfair for me?""There are plenty of people who are aware of your identity here. There's nothing I can do about it when you're so famous." There was a tinge of resignation in her tone.However, Clark didn't appear the slightest bit angry. Instead, he simply asked, "Does that mean that I won't get the chance to take you out for a meal after tonight?""Oh, you can still take me out." Noelle nodded earnestly as she continued, "When the time comes, you can bring your father along, and I'll come with Mr. Quinlan. Wouldn't it be nice if we had a meal together?""So, it turns out you're Brandon's

Only then did Noelle realize that something was amiss. She slowly drew back her foot, which was just about to give Hendrix another kick in the crotch.His gaze was piercingly cold, even with the mask in place. It felt as if he couldn't wait to tear her apart piece by piece.Noelle met his gaze for a long while. In the end, she still broke the silence as she spoke up, "Why… Why did you bring me here?""What's the matter? Are you upset that I've ruined your plans?" He sneered.Hendrix's face grew stormier as his grip around her chin became tighter. It was clear that he was holding a grudge because she'd rejected his dance invitation earlier. The kick she'd just given him only added fuel to the fire.Right now, his grip was so strong that it felt as if he was about to crush her bones.Noelle couldn't help but furrow her brows in pain. She was just about to push his hand away when Hendrix pinned her hands down. Then, he pushed his knee up and got right between her legs."You're cert

"What are you doing?" Noelle froze for a moment before she began struggling to break free from Hendrix's grasp. "Let me go! I said, let go of me!"Her legs thrashed around incessantly, and she even knocked off one of her high heels in the struggle.However, the hotel's corridor was carpeted. Not a single sound was heard when her heels dropped to the ground.Hendrix let Noelle down when they were in the elevator before trapping her in the corner. She was just about to leave when he grabbed her by the chin and pulled her into a kiss.But Hendrix didn't give her the chance to hesitate, let alone struggle. He pried her mouth open roughly with his tongue the moment his lips met hers.His relentless advance instantly left Noelle feeling suffocated. She couldn't even push him away when he'd pinned both of her hands down. Thrusting his knee up, it quickly found its way between her dress.He was clearly more familiar with her body than anyone else could ever be. But his rough-like actions

Noelle's tears started to fall uncontrollably."Jerk," she muttered through clenched teeth, her voice trembling.Hendrix, who had been ready to bite her neck just moments ago, froze when he heard her words. Then, he lifted his gaze.Noelle's lipstick was smudged, her eyeliner smeared from the tears that rolled down her cheeks, and her hair was a mess. She looked utterly disheveled.Yet, Hendrix's heart skipped a beat when he saw the tears glistening on her lashes.His movements slowed. Instead of continuing, he cupped the back of her head gently and kissed her.This kiss was much softer and tender. Noelle didn't resist the way she had earlier.In reality, Hendrix couldn't bear to see her in pain, either. But now, as her resistance eased, Hendrix found himself regaining his composure.Just as he was about to speak, hoping to reason with her, Noelle suddenly bit down hard on his lip.…"Mr. Freeman."It had been a day, yet Dan still couldn't stop glancing at Hendrix's lips whe

Chapter 98

Night had fallen. The city outside was aglow, a kaleidoscope of neon lights merging with the red sea of taillights from rush-hour traffic. Together, they formed the quintessential scene of a bustling city.Amity Tower was located in the heart of the city. Its massive floor-to-ceiling windows made the view outside look like a framed picture.Hendrix stood before the window, staring outside blankly. He fiddled with a lighter in his hands, flicking it on and off.His memories of his father, Gerald Freeman, were fragmented, almost nonexistent. When he thought back now, all he could recall was the stern face of a man who held him to high standards. And later, the image of a frail, bedridden man who could no longer care for himself.Hendrix had been just 12 years old when Gerald passed.There hadn't been much of a bond between them, but at least, he seemed like an ordinary father in his memories. Hendrix felt that his parents had a loving relationship. Otherwise, why would she have re

Chapter 99

As a powerful man, Hendrix was no stranger to temptation.However, the woman standing in front of him was the crudest kind.He didn't even spare her a glance. Instead, he pulled out his phone and called Noelle.The line connected, but no one answered. His expression darkened.The woman, still lingering behind him, felt the sting of being ignored. But her gaze kept flicking to his car parked outside and the clearly expensive clothes he wore. Summoning her courage, she stepped closer."What's your relationship with Noelle? Are you friends?" she asked with a coy smile."She's probably too busy to answer, you know. At this hour, she's probably on a date with some guy," she added, her voice laced with faux concern. "Let me tell you. She's not as innocent as she seems. Behind closed doors, she's pretty wild. Just this morning, I saw—"Before she could finish, Hendrix's cold, piercing gaze snapped to her. His look was sharp enough to feel like a physical chokehold, cutting off her word

Hendrix glanced at the screen of her phone before asking, "Where were you?"Noelle pressed her lips together. "Who gave you the right to change my lock?""Answer my question!" Hendrix demanded with a stormy expression. Noelle had every intention of arguing with him, but after locking eyes with him for a few tense moments, she finally relented. "The hospital."Hendrix's expression shifted slightly as his eyes swept over her.Noelle didn't notice his gaze. She continued, "They told me this afternoon that my mom woke up, but by the time I got there, she'd fallen asleep again. I stayed, hoping she might wake up again."Her voice was soft, laced with quiet sadness.The icy edge in Hendrix's face melted slightly, but his frown returned just as quickly. "Then, why didn't you answer your phone?""It was on silent. I didn't see it," Noelle replied, her tone flat. "Can I go inside now?"Hendrix stepped aside without a word, giving her space to pass.Noelle bent down to change her shoe
