Chapter 451

Soon, Hendrix arrived at Nivis Villa.For the past few days, he had been consumed with the thoughts of how Noelle was doing. He knew this had been Nathan's plan all along, and Noelle had been part of that plan.After all, if it hadn't been for that phone call that night—telling him that Noelle was at Olivia's place—he wouldn't have gone to meet Olivia so late.So now, what worried him the most was whether they had truly done something to Noelle.But for some reason, despite his overwhelming anxiety and urgency—despite the fact that every moment in the police station had been spent thinking about Noelle's safety and how to get out sooner to see her—now that he was finally home, he suddenly felt hesitant as he stood before the villa.He simply stood there with his fist hovering in the air, unable to knock on the door, until the household staff opened it first.Seeing him, the household staff froze for a moment before breaking into a smile. "Mr. Freeman, you're back! Oh, it's so won

Hendrix's expression visibly changed when Noelle finished speaking.But he quickly composed himself and said, "That night, someone called me, saying you had been taken to Olivia's place. And that's why I went. But when I got there, I never even saw Olivia."She had locked herself in the bathroom and then jumped from the balcony. I have no idea why she did that. There was really nothing going on between us!"Hendrix sounded a little hollow as he gave his explanation.Noelle simply stood there, listening intently. She didn't interrupt him, but neither did she give him any response.Hendrix watched her closely with a slight frown."This is all a setup by Nathan!" he added quickly. "I shouldn't have let my guard down. I never imagined he would actually push Olivia to her death. But don't worry. I'll take care of this matter. You just—""That's enough," Noelle abruptly cut him off.Her voice was light, yet it stripped Hendrix's expression away little by little.He looked at her. "W

The look in Noelle's eyes was more like a plea, rather than sincerity.The weighing of pros and cons—this was something Hendrix had been trained in since young and had always prided himself on how good he was in this area. Whether in business or elsewhere, this skill had allowed him to rise to the top.But never had he imagined that one day, he would be placed on the losing side of that equation, and then discarded just like that.He slowly loosened his grip on Noelle's shoulders before taking a step back."What do you mean?" he asked. "Are you saying this is the reason you want to leave me? Noelle, if you so much as say right now that it's because of Olivia, I would have forgiven you. Because that would mean you care about me and that you don't want me to be involved with another woman."As he spoke, he suddenly let out a laugh. "No, that can't be right. There's no way it's because you're jealous. After all, if you really cared about me, you wouldn't have been living so well thes

Chapter 454

Noelle placed the divorce agreement in front of Hendrix.The moment Hendrix saw the title, he let out a laugh. "So, you had this prepared all along."Noelle didn't respond.Hendrix's smile deepened. Then, without a single moment of hesitation, he picked up the pen and smoothly signed his name.Hendrix had written his name countless times. Ever since he had first learned how to read and write, Beatrice had taught him to perfect his name. So, he didn't need to think. The moment the pen touched the paper, his hand moved instinctively.He then tossed the agreement back to Noelle. "There. Are you satisfied now?"Noelle caught it swiftly. After confirming Hendrix's signature, she turned to look at him. "Thank you."Thank you? For what? For granting her freedom? To her, was this something worth celebrating and being grateful for?Hendrix had wanted to mock her, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.Not just because his mind suddenly felt empty, but because if h

After that, with Amity Group's stock prices skyrocketing, it became clear that Hendrix had won.It was also around that time that the truth behind Olivia's death was revealed.The real mastermind behind everything had been Nathan. For some time, he had been blackmailing Olivia with her nude photos, forcing her to do his bidding. Unable to endure the torment any longer, Olivia chose to take her own life by jumping from the 21st-floor balcony.As for why she was in a disheveled state when she jumped, nobody could say for sure. But according to the autopsy report, before her death, she had no physical relations with Hendrix.And just like that, the whole truth was exposed.Those who had previously speculated fell into silence. Even Seline was saying that she had wrongly blamed Hendrix for Olivia's death.Noelle had only smiled in response.Seline glanced at her, then asked, "So, are you two—""Forget it." Noelle already knew what she wanted to ask and answered quickly, "Honestly,

"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!"Noelle was in the kitchen cooking and didn't hear Rosie calling her at first. It wasn't until the little girl pulled her pants up and stood outside the kitchen door with a frown that Noelle finally noticed her."Mommy, why are you ignoring me?""Sorry, sweetheart." Noelle quickly turned off the range hood. "What's the matter?""I just finished pooping and need help wiping my butt."Noelle glanced at her already pulled-up pants and let out a helpless chuckle. "Alright. Let's change into a fresh pair while we're at it, okay?"Rose turned to look at her pants. She then pursed her lips and fell silent.Noelle didn't say anything more and simply took her by the hand and led her to the bathroom.Just as she finished changing her, the doorbell rang."It must be Seline!" Rose immediately cried out excitedly and ran toward the door.When she saw the visitor, she cheered out loud, "Seline!""Oh, you're as sweet as ever, Rosie!" Pleased, Seline pinched the little

Rosie glanced at Noelle, then eventually shook her head. "I want to sleep with Mommy."So, Noelle didn't bring it up again.Seeing this, Seline quickly changed the topic. "Speaking of which, why didn't you go meet that guy I introduced you to last time?""Why don't you meet him yourself?" Noelle countered."I-I'm not interested in marriage right now.""And you think I am?"Noelle's response left Seline momentarily speechless.In the end, she sighed and said, "I'm just worried about how hard it is for you to take care of Rosie all by yourself. Like last time—she had a fever in the middle of the night, and you held her for the entire night. "This is ten whole hours we're talking about, where there's no one to even pour you a glass of water.""That was just a rare situation. Besides, do you really think getting married means having someone to help? More likely, you'd just end up taking care of two people instead of one."Seline had no argument against that. After all, the very

Chapter 458

The opening ceremony for Noelle's new adaptation took place in Stormridge. This wasn't the first time her work had been adapted, but this time, she had been invited to join the screenwriting team.The script was still being revised, but the production had already started.As the saying went, "Time waited for no one", so they needed to seize the momentum while the comic was still wildly popular.Although this wasn't Noelle's first time on set, it was her first time with the crew for the entire process.Naturally, she brought Rosie along with her. But worried that she might not always be able to take care of her, she specifically hired a nanny so she could feel more at ease during her busiest moments. But she had underestimated how complicated things could get.There were endless tedious details to manage on set. And since this was a large-scale production, the film company had cast the most popular young actor and actress for the two lead roles.On the surface, they all seemed ple

There were so many people on set that no one recognized Rosie. Seeing how adorable she looked, they assumed she was a child actor from the cast. Just as they were about to call the assistant director, Rosie turned around and marched back to Noelle.Her tiny fists were clenched, and her pigtails swung with each determined step, making her look like a proud rooster.Noelle was still discussing the lines with someone when she suddenly saw Rosie stomping back angrily. She froze for a moment before asking, "What's wrong?"Rosie didn't respond. Instead, she plopped down beside her and started sipping noisily from her water bottle.Noelle glanced at the person next to her and apologized softly before walking over to Rosie. "What's the matter? Are you bored? We'll wrap up a little early today, so how about I take you to the mall nearby later?"Rosie looked at her without saying a word.Instead of pressing her, Noelle crouched down, meeting her eyes and waiting patiently for an answer."

Chapter 460

In a fast-food restaurant, Rosie was munching on some fries while urging Seline, "So, Seline, you must help me find someone way more handsome—a thousand times better looking—to be my dad!"Seline had rushed over, thinking something serious had happened, only to find it was all about this. She said helplessly, "But that was just what other people said. It has nothing to do with Ebony, right? I think he might actually be interested in your mom."Rosie shook her head vigorously. "No way! He's not worthy of being my dad!"Seline didn't know how to respond, so she just chuckled.As Rosie continued eating her fries, she suddenly felt something cold drip onto the corner of her mouth. She instinctively touched it.At first, she thought it was ketchup, but the next moment, Seline rushed over to her side."Why are you suddenly having a nosebleed? Come on! We're going to the hospital!"…This was Noelle's second all-nighter on set. Under Ebony's persistence, she eventually added two more
