There was no need for me to attend .
What do you mean , No need for you to attend ? Arent we friends ? The word friends sounded incredibly awkward when Maxwell said it .
Noelle looked at him for a moment , then smiled .
No.
We havent been friends since you and Sandra teamed up to hurt me .
So you chose Brandon as your way of getting back at me ? All the expressions on Maxwells face suddenly vanished as he locked his eyes on her .
Is getting married to him another way of getting back at me ? Who said Im marrying him ? Isnt it true ? Brandon admitted it to the family tonight ! And I just saw you two downstairs , behaving intimately with each other .
Maxwell couldnt help but laugh bitterly as he spoke , Noelle , I know you dont like me .
What I did last time … Well , it was a last ditch effort .

As Maxwell spoke , his gaze slowly shifted to Noelle .
It was at that moment that Noelle finally saw it clearly .
There was something unmistakable in his eyes hatred .
The intensity of that hatred sent a shiver through her body .
Without thinking , she turned to run .
But Maxwell seemed to have anticipated her move .
In just a few strides , he caught up to her and pulled her into his arms .
