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 simply stood there, staring back at him with her spine perfectly straight.
Dylan naturally noticed it, yet he didn’t back away. Instead, he maintained the slight distance from Noelle as he stared at her steadily.
Noelle parted her lips slightly, about to say something when Dylan suddenly grabbed the back of her head and crushed his lips against hers.
The moment their lips touched, a stronger force suddenly surged in from behind Noelle. And in the next instant, Dylan was kicked to the ground.
Of course, one
kick wasn’t nearly enough to assuage Hendrik’s rage. He immediately lunged forward and grabbed Dylan by the collar with one hand. Without hesitation, his other fist came down like a torrent of rain as he landed punch after punch on Dylan’s face.
But at that moment, all Noelle could think about was no wonder Dylan suddenly kissed her. He had seen Hendrix coming
Noelle’s thoughts were momentarily scattered. It wasn’t until Jean’s sharp scream pierced the air that she finally snapped back to reality.
But what could Jean do? It wasn’t like she could pull Hendrix away.
Noelle had seen Hendrix lose control before–back then, Maxwell had ended up with broken ribs.
To make matters worse, Hendrix had never been able to stomach Dylan. Now that he had the opportunity, how could he possibly let him go so easily?
Jean, unable to pull Hendrix off, turned desperately to Noote. “Why are you just standing there? Get him off! Otherwise, Dylan is going to get beaten to death!”
Only then did Noelle glance at her. Then, she stepped forward and grabbed Hendrix’s hand.
At that moment, Hendrix was still kicking Dylan expressionlessly.

But the second Noelle gently tugged at his hand, he stopped Then, he turned his gaze toward her.
“That’s enough,” Noelle said calmly, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with her, as if she were just an
observer.
Hendrix’s jaw clenched even tighter. Her calmness was like a blade cutting through his eyes and chest.
“Let’s go back,” Noelle said.
Hendrix stared at her for a long moment, then he laughed out of the blue. His face remained as striking as ever as he curled his lips into a perfect smile.
But Noelle saw only his bloodshot eyes. It was as if something inside him was being torn apart, little by little.
