Chapter 119 Hendrix still hadnt looked at Sandra .
His gaze swept across the venue , his brows furrowing slightly .
Hendrix , Sandra couldnt help but call out , her voice thick with grievance .
Only then did Hendrix seem to snap out of his thoughts .
He glanced at her briefly before handing her the gift in his hand .
Congratulations .
Congratulations ? Sandra hadnt expected that the only thing she would receive from him was such a cold , indifferent word .
Her hand tightened into a fist ..
After a long moment , she regained her composure , slowly reaching out to take the gift .
Thank you .
As the red silk box changed hands , Sandras fingertips brushed lightly against his .
They were ice cold .
Sandra looked up , only to see that Hendrixs expression hadnt changed in the slightest .
She calmly withdrew his hand Just then , Maxwell stepped forward .
Mr.
Freeman , welcome , he said , shaking his hand .
Why isnt Mr.
Brandon here on such an important day ? Yonne suddenly asked .
Hes on a business trip , Maxwell replied with a smile .
The company has a project launching in Sintrun , so he went for the opening ceremony .
Yvonne was taken aback .
What kind of major project requires Mr.
Brandons involvement ? Maxwell didnt elaborate , simply offering a faint smile .
Hendrix suddenly understood something .
By now , the main event of the engagement banquet had concluded , leaving only mingling and small talk among the guests .
As the leader of Coppersvilles business industry , Hendrixs presence immediately drew everyones attention in the room .
However , what piqued their interest even more was Yvonnes hand casually looped through his arm .
This sight inevitably drew the gaze of those from the Swanson family .
It seemed that the Swanson familys connection to Hendrix was indeed a thing of the past .
After all , even Noelle hadnt shown up today likely to avoid becoming the subject of ridicule .
Hendrix paid no mind to the curious glances .
After fulfilling his social obligations , he prepared to leave .
Of course , Yvonne followed him .
I have something to take care of .
Shall I drop you off first ? Hendrix asked once in the car .
Yvonne had been looking at her phone .
She paused for a moment before laughing softly .

Whats so urgent ? Hendrix simply hummed as a reply .
It seems your relationship with Sandra is quite special .
You still made time to attend her engagement despite your busy schedule .
Hendrix expression remained neutral .
Were just ordinary friends .
Yvonne let out a light scoff .
Really ? But I noticed the necklace she wore today .
Its the same one that was auctioned for a sky high price of 20 million dollars last year in Leverton , isnt it ? Did you give it to her ? Yes .
Wow ! For an ordinary friend , youre certainly generous .
So as your fiancée , what do you plan to gift me ? Hendrix suddenly fell silent , his brows knitting tighter .
Yvonne assumed he was seriously considering her question and was about to press him further.
But just then , as if struck by a sudden thought , Hendrix abruptly opened the car door and got out .
Let the driver take you home .
Im leaving .
You … Yvonne tried to say more , but her words were left hanging as Hendrix walked away without a glance back .
He hailed a taxi with a casual wave of his hand .
To Serene Street .
