Later, Dan went up to Hendrix and said something
There was no expression on Hendrix’s face, and he did not respond as well.
“Mr. Freeman, if the rumor spreads tomorrow..
“Contact someone to handle it. Also, contact Lloyd’s family members.” Hendrix sounded very calm, as if he was handling a very simple matter. “I’ll handle the situation at Freeman Manor.”
With that said, he walked out. When he passed by Noelle, he thought of something and said, “I’ll send you home
first.”
“I… Should I stay the night at the hospital?”
Although Noelle knew there was nothing she could do with Beatrice being in the ICU, she was scared of being alone with Hendrix now.
She did not deny anything Sandra had said earlier, but she really did not know that Beatrice had made such a decision. She thought that Beatrice was really chasing after her own happiness, but now…
“Follow me back.” Without saying anything further, Hendrix walked forward.
Noelle hesitated for a moment before following behind him.
“I didn’t know…” When they got in the car, Noelle finally spoke up. “I didn’t expect your morn to
“Sandra said Mom gave you something,” Hendrix cut her off. “What is it?”
“A document…”
“Where is it?”
Back at Serene Street, Noelle handed the document over to Hendrix.
When he saw how obviously it was placed, he let out a cold laugh. He didn’t say anything and just turned to leave.
“Hendrix!” Noelle called out to him.

She didn’t know how much time had passed until the alarm on her phone rang, and she realized that the sky outside had brightened.

with Hendrix and others standing outside the emergency room in the background.
They claimed to be a family member of Lloyd, who had died at the scene of the accident. Meanwhile, Beatrice, who had been in the same car, had survived. What was more, the person alleged that Beatrice was the instigator of this so–called lover’s suicide pact.
Yes, a suicide pact.
That was Beatrice, who was a woman burdened with the reputation of the Freeman family and Amity Group, yet unwilling to relinquish her love. So, she chose to die for love. Only, she didn’t die.
The revelation caused an immediate uproar across the Internet. Details about Beatrice and Lloyd were quickly unearthed, including Hendrix’s recent subduing of Lloyd’s company.
In an instant, Hendrix became the public’s scapegoat. Everyone believed that it was his opposition that drove them to take this tragic path.
And since that night, Noelle hadn’t seen Hendrix.
