Chapter 148 As Maxwell spoke , his breath brushed against Noelles cheek .
That sensation suddenly reminded her of the times she had faced William , causing the same nauseating feeling to surge up within her in an instant .
Clenching her teeth , she fixed her eyes on Maxwell in front of her .
Maxwell , if you so much as lay a finger on me , Ill call the police immediately .
Go ahead .
Call them , Maxwell replied with a chuckle , then added , Do you really think that with your current reputation , anyone will believe a word you say ? Believe me when I say that everyone will just assume it was you who seduced me .
Maxwells face was lit with a subtle smile .
It was the same smile Noelle was so familiar with .
But now , that familiar face felt more like the devils .
She suddenly found herself at a loss for words .
She parted her lips to speak , but in the end , no words came out .

Maxwells smile deepened further when he saw her like that .
He tightened his grip on her shoulder while his other hand slid around her waist .
Lets go , Elle , he said suddenly before leaning down to kiss Noelle on the lips .
Lets leave this city tonight and find a place where no one knows us to start afresh .
What do you say to that ? Noelle didnt respond , but her hand quietly reached for the drawer behind her .
Maxwells kiss was just about to land when the door suddenly crashed open with a loud bang , startling both of them .
Hendrix stood in the doorway , frowning as he took in the scene .
From his vantage point , he saw Maxwells hand wrapped around Noelles waist , their bodies dangerously close .
Noelle had one hand pressed against Maxwells shoulder , but there was no sign of resistance on her face .
In fact , it looked almost as though Hendrix had accidentally intruded when the couple was about to kiss .
But then , his gaze dropped to Noelles hand , which was hidden behind her back she was holding a pair of scissors ! Hendrixs gaze darkened instantly .
Without a word , he stepped forward and kicked Maxwell to the ground .
Maxwell , still in shock from Hendrixs sudden appearance , was completely unprepared for the blow .
He didnt react until he was already crashing to the floor .
He slammed his back into the nearby bookshelf , which sent a sharp , searing pain through him .
But Hendrix seemed unsatisfied .
He moved forward swiftly to deliver another kick to Maxwells chest .
His face remained unreadable , yet each strike grew fiercer than the last .
The attack was so intense that even Noelle , standing nearby felt shocked .
Unable to help herself , she took a few steps forward and grabbed Hendrixs arm .
Hendrix … Stop … Her own voice trembled as she spoke .
In the chaos , she hadnt even realized she was still holding the scissors .
But Hendrix didnt seem to hear her .
Noelle forced herself to calm down before stepping closer to grip his hand tightly .
Hendrix , please stop ! Hendrix finally seemed to register her words this time .
But he simply threw her a glance before yanking off his tie .
He then crouched down and used it to tie Maxwells hands together .
By that point , Maxwell had almost no strength left , enabling Hendrix to easily tie him up .
After that was done , Hendrix turned to Noelle .
Call the police .
