Chapter 401

Ophelia watched Hendrix's actions closely with a noticeable frown.It wasn't until Hendrix felt that Noelle had eaten enough that he turned to Nathan. "By the way, I heard you've been in contact with the people over in Konray Capital. How's that going?"Nathan had been quietly eating with his head lowered, but the moment Hendrix dropped that question, his hand froze in mid-motion.Then, he lifted his head in disbelief.Ophelia looked confused. "What's Konray Capital?""Oh, Grandma, you might not be familiar with them," Hendrix said with a faint smile. "They're a company that deals in capital flow. Basically, they allow you to put your company shares up as collateral in exchange for a massive cash infusion. If the shares rise above a certain threshold within a set period, they even distribute dividends to you."But if the shares drop below a certain point, they have the contractual right to break down or even swallow your holdings. "I'm just wondering—how far along are you in

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

So, at the moment, Hendrix was feeling a mixed bag of emotions. Especially when he heard Noelle's "honest" response, the frown on his forehead deepened even further."But isn't that how things are in the business world? It's either you die or I live," Noelle continued. "So, it's not really about being cruel or not."Her words caused Hendrix's lips to slowly curl upward. He then gave a soft hum."What will happen to him after this?" Noelle asked."Who? Nathan?" Hendrix chuckled lightly. "Why do you care? In any case, he's not going to have it easy."The way he said it made Noelle instantly understand, and she didn't ask any further questions.…The next day, Noelle saw the news about Amity Group as expected.What Nathan did was akin to disrupting the stock market, which was clearly in the gray area. To make matters worse, he wasn't just an ordinary shareholder of Amity Group—he was a member of the Freeman family, Hendrix's younger brother.Previously, the news released by Amity

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

"Yeah," Noelle replied."Is everything going well?" Hendrix asked again."Yes, very well. The doctor said the baby is healthy, and everything looks good."Noelle's voice was calm, and her gaze carried a touch of warmth as she looked at him—just as usual.Even so, a coldness still settled over Hendrix's expression."Weren't you busy today?" Noelle suddenly asked.Hendrix frowned."Have you already settled everything that has to do with Nathan?" Noelle questioned.Hendrix took a deep breath. "Not yet, but it's almost done."Noelle let out a soft "oh", then nodded seriously.Hendrix stared at her for a moment before asking, "Who did you run into at the hospital today?"Noelle didn't answer right away. Instead, she turned to glance at the housekeeper.The housekeeper had clearly been discreetly monitoring their conversation, but the moment Noelle's gaze landed on her, she suddenly felt a strange sense of guilt and quickly looked away.Noelle frowned slightly before turning bac

Chapter 406

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

Noelle hadn't seen Dylan in a long time. The last time was in a café. That day, he told her he was leaving the country.Back then, she had thought they would never cross paths again in this lifetime. Neither of them could have imagined that so much would happen afterward.Compared to their moment of disorientation, the other two seemed completely at ease.Jean even went so far as to introduce them to each other—as if they were meeting for the very first time.Hendrix extended his hand toward Dylan with an air of sincerity. "Mr. Pritchett, pleasure to meet you."Dylan's expression was noticeably stiff. After a brief hesitation, he finally reached out and shook Hendrix's hand.Hendrix smiled and said, "So, you two are getting married soon as well? And on the same day as us, no less. What a coincidence!""Right? I thought so, too!" Jean quickly responded. "But we actually picked this date a long time ago—we even sent you both an invitation. Maybe you two also thought it was an espe

"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

Jean's temper flared quickly but faded just as fast. Or rather, when it came to Dylan, she had always shown a level of tolerance she rarely afforded others.So now, after just a few coaxing words from him, her anger dissipated.At that moment, Dylan took the chance to say, "Alright. I really do need to make a call. You should head back in first. After all, you were the one who set this dinner up, so it wouldn't look good if neither of us were there.""Fine. I'll go in first, but hurry up with the call.""Got it."Dylan smiled, standing in place as he watched Jean return to the private dining room.The moment she shut the door behind her, his smile vanished instantly. And in its place was obvious exhaustion and disgust.He turned, about to find a quiet corner to have a smoke, but then, he saw Noelle standing there.He had no idea how long she had been there, but from the look of her face, she had likely heard everything—Jean's commanding tone and his own subdued responses.

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
