Chapter 142 It was me who arranged for you to meet Clark , Brandon hally admitted .
But I had no idea Sandra would show out of nowhere , let alone … say those things .
Noelle , youre my friend , no matter what .
I havent sunk so low as to scheme against you like that .
up Noelle said nothing.
Instead , she slowly lowered her gaze , as if she were weighing the truth behind his words .
Regardless , tonight was an oversight on my part , continued Branndon .
And Id like to formally apologize to you .
From now on- That wont be necessary , Noelle interrupted .
I dont think theres any need for us to meet again in the future .
What do you mean ? Brandons voice tightened .
You still dont believe me , do you ? Noelle smiled faintly .
Im going to head up now .
Goodbye , Mr.
Quinlan .
Without waiting for a reply , she started making her way home .
But Brandon suddenly gripped her wrist just as she was walking past him .
Lets get married .
The suddenness of his proposal made Noelle jolt .

She slowly turned to face him with eyes wide with disbelief , as if she were looking at a madman .
However , Brandon was unfazed by her reaction .
He pressed on , I dont believe what they said about you .
Even if its true , Im certain that you were the victim ! Noelle , Im really happy that were friends , and it makes me want to protect you even more after what happened tonight .
So , will you marry me ? Meanwhile , just as Yvonne was about to get out of the car , she couldnt hold back her question any longer .
you like to come in for a drink ? Would Its too late .
Maybe next time , replied Hendrix crisply , his response no different than all the ones hed given her before .
It was always next time , but no one could say for sure when exactly that next time would come .
Yvonne clenched her teeth before trying again .
Its just a drink.
We- I still have work to do , said Henry , turning his head away from her .
His rejection couldnt have been clearer .
Yvonne considered herself quite attractive , and she was never short of admirers .
Yet , she had never received so much as a hint of interest from Hendrix .
It would be a lie to say she wasnt frustrated , but she knew nothing she said would change his mind .
With a forced smile , she turned to leave .
Suddenly , a thought struck her .
By the way , your mom called .
She invited me over to her place for dinner tomorrow .
Can you give me a ride then ? Hendrix had no idea about this .
The way things were arranged , almost as if forcing a square peg into a round hole , only served to irritate him further .
He frowned briefly before uttering a lackluster , Okay .
Finally , Yvone felt satisfied .
No matter what , Hendrix was her fiancé now .
This alone made her feel superior to all she the women in Coppersville .
As for how things really were between them … Well , she was sure would be able to win him over eventually .
Yvonne smiled at the thought of that day happening .
Then , she leaned toward Hendrix with the intention of kissing him on the lips , but he quickly turned his face away .
In the end , her kiss landed on his cheek instead .
She didnt mind the least .
After saying goodbye , she gracefully stepped out of the car .
Hendrix remained in the car , waiting a few seconds before instructing the driver , Take me home .
The next day , Hendrix gave Yvonne a ride to Freeman Manor as promised .
