Chapter 242
Not satisfied, Mabel stormed over and shoved Noelle hard. I told you to leave! Get out now!”
Noelle frowned, and just as Mabel was about to push her again, she grabbed her hand firmly.
“What are you doing? Let go, you bitch!” Mabel’s voice grew sharper, and it was clear she was about to draw more
attention.
In the end, Noelle released her grip and turned to leave without a word.
“Go ahead! Get out! Mrs. Freeman doesn’t want to see you! It’s all because of you, you shameless bitch! And you- how many times have I told you not to let people in? This is how you do your job after taking Mr. Freeman’s money? If this happens again, I’ll tell Mr. Freeman–L
Noelle didn’t hear what Mabel said next, because just then, someone stepping out of the elevator grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward with such decisiveness that she barely had time to reach out. By the time she came to her senses, he had already pulled her back into the room.
Judging by the smile on her face, Mabel had been happy to see who had arrived. But as the words “Mr. Freeman” were about to leave her mouth, her expression froze, and her voice got caught in her throat when she saw the person standing next to him.
She kept blinking, as if struggling to believe what she was seeing.
“What did you just say?” asked Hendrix coldly.
“I… Mr. Freeman!” Mabel finally reacted, then called out, “What are you doing here? A–And this woman, isn’t she the one who caused Mrs. Freeman to end up like this? How could you still be with her? You-”
“Apologize to her now,” Hendrix interrupted sharply.
Mabel froze.
“What? You want me to apologize to her? No way! It’s not like I said anything wrong!” She gritted her teeth. “Mr. Freeman, Mrs. Freeman has been in bed for so long–how can you still be involved with this woman? If Mrs. Freeman Senior finds out about this-
“Forget it,” Hendrix suddenly said. “Whether you apologize or not, it probably won’t matter to her. But I can tell you something now–you’re fired.”
Hendrix spoke so quickly that Mabel didn’t even have time to react. It took her a while to process, and then, it finally dawned on her.
“F–Fired? Mr. Freeman, what do you mean by that?”
“It means exactly what the word means. Not just you, but your son and nephews, too. None of you need to come in to work from today onward.”
“I… Mr. Freeman, do you even know what you’re doing? I’ve worked for your family for 30 years. I helped raise you! H–How could you do this to me?” asked Mabel in a trembling voice.
But then she suddenly thought of something, prompting her to shoot a resentful glare at Noelle.
“It’s you, isn’t it? You said something to Mr. Freeman, didn’t you? You filthy bitch!”
As she spoke, she rushed toward Noelle. But before she could even grab her, Hendrix seized her outstretched hand. The strength that overwhelmed hers, along with his cold gaze, made her body freeze.

It took her a while before she finally stammered, “M–Mr. Freeman, you can’t do this to me.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll provide the appropriate compensation. You can leave now.”
