Instead , he hung back in the yard to have a smoke .
As the minty taste of the cigarette slowly filled his mouth , so did his emotions gradually subside .
Suddenly , his phone rang just when he was about to finish smoking .
He immediately declined the call after taking a glance at the caller ID .
But the other party called again not even one second later .
Hendrix frowned , and after hesitating for two seconds , he finally gave in and accepted the call .
Hendrix , did you purposely let Brandon win the bidding for the Extensa Project ? asked Maxwell , his voice tight .
Yeah , answered Hendrix softly .
Maxwell suddenly laughed .
My ! You really are quite generous , arent you ? Its not every day I hear about someone handing over such a big project to their business competitor .
Are you really that eager to help Brandon climb the ranks ? Are you done ? asked Hendrix impatiently .
Because if you are , Im going to hang up now .
Did you know Brandon and Noelle are getting married ? asked Maxwell out of the blue .
That offhand remark cut Hendrixs words short .
For a moment , he even wondered if he had misheard .
Sensing Hendrixs shock , Maxwell chuckled and added , Well , it sounds like you didnt know .
Figures .
Because if you did , you definitely wouldnt have been so eager to help Brandon .
Do you know what this means ? It means youre actually paving the way for your ex wifes current boyfriend .
Looking at it that way , you really are generous ! Maxwells tone grew increasingly mocking .
Hendrix snapped out of his daze and immediately replied firmly , Impossible ! Maxwell , however , laughed .
Oh , its possible , alright .
Brandom himself admitted it tonight right in front of all of us .
He said he likes Noelle and is dating her with the intention of marrying her ! Speaking of which , he really should thank you .
After all , it wouldve been difficult for Noelle to marry into the Quinlan family after what happened last night .
But n now , Brandon is the one who secured the Extensa Project , making him the star of Quinlan Group .
He can .
marry whoever he wants without needing anyones approval .
So you see , Hendrix , youve actually played the biggest role in bringing them together .
Maxwell seemed ready to keep going , but Hendrix had already hung up the call .
His lips were pressed into a thin line , while his fingers were clenched tightly around his phone .
Suddenly , he felt a sting at his fingertips .
Only then did he realize that the cigarette he was smoking had burned down completely , and the ember was now touching his skin .
He quickly extinguished the cigarette .
Just then , Beatrice walked over .
What are you still doing here ? Hendrix glanced at her but said nothing- Yvonne is visiting for the first time , and youre already giving her the cold shoulder ? Is that really appropriate ? Im not going to marry her, Hendrix replied flatly .
Thats something you should be clearer about than anyone else .
And why wont you marry her ? Beatrice asked , her tone serious .
The partnership between the two companies .
+25 BONUS Chapter 144 has gone smoothly .
If you two get married , it would undoubtedly strengthen the business relationship even- But I dont need to rely on such methods for the family business to prosper , Hendrix cut in .
Beatrice stared at him for a moment before breaking into a smile .
Is that so ? Then , tell me .
Who do you want to marry ? Someone you love , but who comes from an ordinary background ? I wont necessarily oppose it , but does such a woman even exist ?
