NovelEnglishChapter 571
During this period, rumors about Dylan and Noelle had been circulating within their social circle. Dylan was the
rising star in the business world, while Noelle was Hendrix's ex-wife. The fact that these two were together
naturally attracted a lot of attention, even without any deliberate embellishment.
However, both of them had kept a low profile. In fact, it was rare for anyone in their social circle to spot them
together, leading many to wonder if the rumors were even true.
That was, until now.
What made it even more noteworthy was that today was the day of Ophelia's memorial service, and yet, Dylan
and Noelle actually showed up together. What were they trying to signal?
The atmosphere, which had never been particularly quiet to begin with, suddenly beclively.
All eyes turned to Hendrix, as if everyone was eager to rush up to him and scrutinize his expression closely.
Noelle, however, seemed oblivious to the gazes fixed on her. She simply lowered her head to pay her respect to
Ophelia before walking up to Hendrix with Dylan in tow.
"My condolences," she said to Hendrix in a perfunctory manner. Her face showed no emotion, and her voice was
equally devoid of any fluctuation.
Hendrix stood there motionless, offering no response to her words.

Noelle didn't seem to care. Just as she was about to leave with Dylan, Hendrix suddenly spoke up, "I have
something to ask you."
He knew full well that, at that moment, almost everyone in the room was watching their every move. Every word
he said and every action he took would becevidence for their judgment.
Hendrix never liked being the subject of idle gossip. But if it involved Noelle, then that was a different story. So,
he paid no mind to the people around him and simply stared at Noelle, waiting for her reply.
Dylan was still standing nearby, but Hendrix acted as if he didn't exist, his gaze fixed solely on Noelle as he
waited for her answer.
"What do you want to ask?" Noelle asked.
Instead of answering her, he said, "Let's talk outside."
Noelle couldn't help but press her lips into a thin line. She had initially planned to reject him, but he stood in her
way without any intention of moving. And the longer they
dragged this out, the more she could feet the increasing number of eyes on her.
She frowned lightly.
Dylan quickly stepped between them and said, "Mr. Freeman, you must be quite busy today, so it might be best
if you have the talk with Noelle at a later time."
With that, he took Noelle's hand with the intention to leave together.
It was a simple gesture, but to
Hendrix, it felt like a provocation as if they could have chosen to cseparately today, yet Dylan
deliberately brought Noelle with him.

His tone was unmistakably threatening. And based on what Noelle knew of him, if
she didn't comply, she wouldn't be surprised no matter what he did next.
In the end, she withdrew her hand from Dylan's grasp. Then, she turned to
Hendrix and said, "What exactly do you want to ask me?"
