"All I can say is that you think that way because you've never truly understood him."Hendrix's words left Noelle momentarily speechless.After a pause, she finally responded, "But if it weren't for me, you and Dylan wouldn't have had any connection at all. And you wouldn't have almost lost your life because of him.""Hmm, that's true," Hendrix admitted with a nod. But then, he added, "But do you really think I'm the kind of person who's afraid of things like that?"As he spoke, he even chuckled. "If that's what you think, then you're seriously underestimating your baby, aren't you?"Noelle had been frowning at him, but when he used that term of endearment, she froze. Then, she swatted his hand away and turned to look out the window.The plane hadn't taken off yet, and outside, there was nothing but flat ground as far as the eye could see.Hendrix watched her and suddenly laughed. "What's there to be shy about?""Who said I'm shy?" Noelle shot back immediately, her brows furrow

Chapter 722

Hendrix was well aware that they were in a public space. Truthfully, he hadn't planned on doing anything inappropriate—he just wanted to tease Noelle a little.Of course, his little stunt came with its own consequences, but seeing Noelle flustered and nervously glance around made it all worth it.The plane soon arrived in Coppersville.As Noelle disembarked, she was surprised to see Beatrice waiting at the airport with Rosie. The moment Rosie spotted Noelle, she rushed over and clung to her, refusing to let go.Noelle gently hugged her back, feeling a little guilty. She couldn't help but think back to what she had done earlier—if something had really happened to her and Hendrix back then, wouldn't that have been incredibly irresponsible toward Rosie?Thankfully, they had both returned safely. Noelle didn't say anything more, simply holding Rosie a little tighter.Meanwhile, Beatrice was scrutinizing Hendrix from head to toe.Hendrix knew what she was thinking and simply stood th

Hendrix didn't answer Noelle."She's just starting to warm up to you, so can't you be a little nicer to her?" Noelle asked, displeasure growing in her tone."Haven't I been nice to her?" Hendrix finally replied."Then, tell me—what did you say to her earlier?"Hendrix paused mid-step. Then, he turned around to glance at her, saying, "I told her you were injured and needed rest.""That's all?""What else did you think I said?" Hendrix asked with a chuckle.Noelle felt there was more to it, but Hendrix didn't give her a chance to press further. Instead, he scooped her up into his arms and carried her swiftly toward the bedroom."What are you doing?" Noelle blurted out."What do you think I'm doing?" Hendrix shot back.His response left Noelle momentarily speechless. After a pause, she said, "Didn't you just say I needed rest?""Exactly. And this is rest," he replied.By then, Hendrix had already carried her into the bedroom. But he didn't set her down. Instead, he kicked the

When Hendrix was working, he always carried an air of sharpness and seriousness, making him look unapproachable. Even Noelle hesitated for a moment before approaching.Hendrix heard the movement and quickly looked over. Everything had happened so suddenly that his expression hadn't yet shifted back to normal.It wasn't until his eyes met Noelle's that his demeanor softened slightly. "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to go to sleep first?"Noelle didn't answer. Instead, she placed the glass of water in front of him. "What's going on?" she asked.Hendrix glanced at the glass of water but didn't say anything.Noelle frowned. "Well?""Erwin's been arrested," Hendrix finally told her.Noelle was confused."He's been staying in the country for a while," Hendrix explained slowly. "A few days ago, he even threw a party. And just last night, someone ended up dead."A frown immediately appeared on Noelle's face. "And then?""The person died from an overdose."Noelle's eyes widened.

Noelle tossed and turned in bed for what felt like hours before finally drifting into a restless sleep. When she woke up, the sky outside was already bright. She jolted awake and immediately rushed to the study, but Hendrix was no longer there.The household staff informed her that Hendrix had already left by the time they arrived. It seemed he had driven off early in the morning.Noelle didn't say anything, only pursed her lips tightly. When she returned to the bedroom, she found a note Hendrix had left for her.It said he needed to handle some matters and wouldn't be back for a few days. However, he didn't specify where he was going.Noelle stared at the note for a while before slowly tucking it away.That same day, she saw news reports about Erwin. But perhaps because too many people were involved, the reports didn't reveal much, and the story barely made a ripple.Noele didn't believe this was the whole story. The current calm was merely the lull before the storm.Just as sh

Noelle looked up, meeting Dylan's gaze for a moment before replying, "He's busy with something, so he couldn't make it.""Oh. Mrs. Swift is already inside waiting. Were you on your way to see her?" Dylan asked.Noelle nodded.Dylan then led the way, acting as if he were the host, while Noelle followed a few steps behind him.As they climbed the stairs, Noelle suddenly asked, "Have you seen the reports about what happened in Tilwick?"Dylan paused mid-step and turned to look at her. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.Noelle stood there, meeting his gaze. "It was because of you that Nathan was able to return to the country, wasn't it?"Even though she phrased it as a question, her tone was one of uncertainty.Dylan locked eyes with her for a moment before chuckling. "What is this? An interrogation? Even the police haven't found anything on me. Do you have proof to back up your question?""No," Noelle replied. "I just wanted to ask you. That's all.""So, when you asked,

Chapter 727

Back then, Dylan had seemed like just an accomplice, someone who had acted out of necessity because the people involved were his family.But if he had truly been pure and upright, he would never have chosen to help them in the first place. When the incident occurred, he wouldn't have tried so hard to cover it up and salvage the situation.Power and influence were like addictive poisons—once one got a taste of it, one always wanted more. But there were only so many spots at the top, and the only way to climb higher seemed to be pulling others down.Because of Noelle, the person Dylan saw standing in his way was Hendrix. Moreover, because of Hendrix, Dylan had lost something important to him. So, it was only natural for him to hate Hendrix.Noelle even suspected that Dylan's later obsession with being with her was partly because he wanted to win against Hendrix. After all, in terms of business tactics, he might not have been able to compete with Hendrix, but what if he could win her

Chapter 728

Hendrix was currently in Halbort.Erwin had just been released on bail.In reality, this whole situation was pretty unfair to him. After all, he had merely been a guest at the party, and he wasn't the one who had brought in the illegal substances. The person who had brought them in not only died but also dragged everyone else down with him.Erwin himself wasn't too concerned. As long as he could prove his innocence, there wasn't much the authorities here could do to him.But it was a different story for Hendrix. His entire career was rooted in the country, and if any rumors about this incident spread, the impact on him would be devastating.That was why he had taken the initiative to come from Coppersville to cooperate with the police investigation. As long as the police here could prove his innocence, any media outlets trying to smear him would be guilty of defamation.Even though Erwin knew Hendrix was only doing this for his own benefit, he still said sincerely, "Thanks for th

Hendrix didn't even spare Marshall and Marla a glance. Instead, he turned to the people behind him and said, "Search for Noelle."The moment the words left his mouth, his men moved in without hesitation."Hendrix Freeman! This is my home. You're trespassing on private property!" Marla shouted."Noelle came to your party and then disappeared. So what's so wrong with me searching for her here?""Are you seriously accusing us of hiding her?"Instead of responding, Hendrix simply followed the others upstairs.However, it wasn't long before the police called him, informing him that Noelle had likely been taken away by someone.Whoever took her was clearly familiar with the Swift family's estate surveillance layout. They carefully avoided the cameras while moving through the property.The only footage they managed to capture was a brief glimpse of an arm flashing across one of the cameras. It appeared that Noelle had been carried away—her arms hanging limply at her side.It lasted n

Unlike the furious Hendrix, Dylan remained perfectly calm. There was even a hint of confusion in his eyes as he looked at the former.Then, Dylan said, "Mr. Freeman, aren't you asking the wrong person? Noelle's your wife, so why are you asking me where she is? Isn't that a little inappropriate? Or do you have evidence to suggest that I took her?"Hendrix fell silent. He simply stood there, staring at Dylan. His clenched fists slowly loosened.Then, he let out a soft laugh. "Fine, Dylan. You've made your choice."With that, he turned and walked away.Dylan remained where he was, watching Hendrix leave before turning to the other employees with a smile. "If there's nothing else, you can all go back to work now."At his words, the employees didn't dare to linger any longer. After exchanging a few glances with each other, they quickly dispersed.As he walked, Hendrix was already making calls. Coppersville wasn't that big—he refused to believe that even if he had to turn the entire c
