Chapter 304
Noelle fell into a noticeable silence when she heard Hendri’s words. It was only after a long; moment that she finally looked at him.
But Hendrix didn’t meet her gaze. Instead, he casually picked up his phone and began Instructing someone to deliver dinner.
“What do you want to eat?” he asked, turning back to her with a bright smile.
But Noelle simply sat there, expressionless, staring at him in silence.
Hendrix narrowed his eyes slightly.
Noelle suddenly smiled. “Anything’s fine, though something light would be good.”
With that, she stood up and started walking away.
Watching her retreating figure, Hendrix spoke again, “If there’s something you’re looking for, you can just ask me for it.”
As expected, Noelle had already guessed it from what he said earlier about the surveillance cameras. But when he asked so directly, she couldn’t help but stop in her tracks, and she was clenching her hands so hard that even her knuckles began to ache.
Then, slowly turning around, she replied, I’m looking for vidence of your collusion with Julio.”
Hendrix smiled again. “Oh? And what do you plan to do with that?”
“What do you think?”
Hendrix didn’t respond. Even the insincere smile he had on his face gradually faded. He lowered his gaze, and Noelle could see the veins bulging on the back of his hand.
Then, his fist suddenly came up to his lips, and he coughed a few times.
Noelle had been waiting for him to say something, but the silence stretched on. After a while, she found herself utterly bored and uninterested. Thus, she turned and headed upstairs without another word.
By the time Noelle came out of the bathroom, the dinner Hendrix had ordered had already been delivered. She didn’t have much of an appetite, but she knew she needed to keep herself steady. So without waiting for Hendrix to say anything, she sat down and began cathip.
It was clear Hendrix had already eaten, yet he still chose to sit across from her. Noelle couldn’t be bothered to pay him any attention, focusing instead on the food in front of her.
Just then, Hendrix suddenly said, “Two months.”
Noelle’s hand paused, but she didn’t look up..
Hendrix continued, “Give us another chance. For two months, let’s try to get along. If, after that, you still hate me this much, I’ll let you go and hand over the evidence you want. What do you say?”
He sounded sincere, but Noelle couldn’t help but recall the times when he had seemed even more sincere.
He had once told her he loved her and that all he wanted was a place by her side–that it didn’t matter if their relationship couldn’t be public and if she humiliated him. But what had the man who said those things done behind her back?
He had secretly set Jullo up, working in tandem to gut the core of Elm Group from inside out.

Like how the story is progressing now but why is the author only releasing 3 chapters at a time? this is torture😩😩...
Woah chapters 41-45 is intense!! Good to see Noelle’s character who has come across as mostly detached actually express emotion....
I find Noelle’s character so frustrating, she comes across lacking any true emotion. The chapters where Rosie was missing was probably the most where we have seen some strong outward emotion shown. Dreading these next few chapters if she is going to do something drastic to “go find Seline” The author has taken us on a rollercoaster with these characters. The novel feels like it is at a stage now where they can come full circle....
A good change of pace and story in the last 10 chapters. Good to see the shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win over Noelle and Rosie. Hope we start to see them warm up to him. Please no crazy twist where he loses them again. Have enjoyed this story and looking forward to its wrap up👨👩👧...

I have been in love with this novel but I don’t know how much patience I have to wait until the to finish line. Dear Author, can you atleast give us some idea about how long is this going to be or if there’s any turning point coming soon. And it would be great if you could upload at least 10 chapters at once. 5 chapters is making me more impatience with the anticipation of the further story of novel🙈...
I really hope there is a turning point in this story where Noelle starts to show some interest in Hendrix...
