Chapter 164 Sandra and Ruth ran into each other in the restroom .
Their engagement to Maxwell , though not to the point of outrigli exchanged polite nods and brief pleasantries .
teractions had noticeably decreased since Sandras hostility .
Now , upon seeing each other , they Hows Maxwell doing ? Ruth asked , glancing at Sandra , who was touching up her lipstick in the mirror .
Hes doing quite well .
In fact , hes already discharged from the hospital .
Even though Sandra was behaving as usual , Ruth couldnt help but feel something was different about her .
But before she could probe further , Sandra had finished washing her hands and left the restroom .
Back in the private room , the party was already in full swing .
However , when Sandra entered the room , she found the crowd surging toward the exit in a chaotic rush .
She couldnt dodge in time , but luckily , Ruth managed to pull her back .
Theyre heading to the terrace , explained Ruth when she noticed Sandras confusion .
Its nearly time for the citys New Years Eve countdown fireworks show .
Sandra left out a soft oh in acknowledgment .
Come on .
Lets go watch it together .
Ruth took Sandras hand and led her to the terrace .
Trailing behind , Sandra glanced at Ruths hand with barely concealed disdain but ultimately refrained from pulling away .
When they reached the terrace , they found the others all standing frozen at the doorway , their eyes fixed on something in the distance .
Sandras view was obstructed , so it was Ruth who looked ahead first .
After a few moments , she gasped in surprise .
Isnt that Hendrix ? Whats he doing here ? Sandra stiffened the instant those words reached her ears .
And whos that woman with him ? Didnt he just break up with Yvonne ? How does he already have someone new ? continued Ruth .
Something clicked in Sandras mind , and she could no longer hold herself back .
She shoved past the people in front of her without hesitation .
Sure enough , Hendrix wasnt alone .
He was dressed in a long black coat , and though his back was to the crowd , Sandra was able to catch glimpses of his frowning face whenever he turned his head slightly to the side .
Standing next to him was a tall , slender woman .
Her long hair cascaded loosely over her shoulders , and a mustard- yellow scarf was wrapped around her neck .
Though her face was hidden from view , Sandra recognized her instantly .
It was Noelle ! The two of them appeared to be arguing .
Even from a distance , the tension in the air was palpable , with Hendrixs dark mood practically radiating off him .
But Noelle seemed completely unfazed .
After giving him one last glance , she turned abruptly to walk away .
It was the first time Sandra had seen the two of them interact like this , and also the first time shed seen Hendrix like this .
After all , Hendrix had always been more composed than those around him , his maturity setting him apart from a young age .
Sandra could hardly recall ever seeing Hendrix lose his temper .
Suddenly , she sneered internally .
Chapter 164 +25 BONUS Hendrix was a golden child , someone who had been doted on and admired his entire life .
People bent over backward to please him when had anyone ever dared to give him the cold shoulder ? Thus , Sandra was certain things would fall apart between Hendrix and Noelle in no time .
Just as Sandra was reveling in her schadenfreude , Hendrix suddenly took a step forward to grab Noelles hand .
Then , cupping the back of her head with his other hand , he kissed her .
Sandras smug expression vanished instantly .
Her hands balled into fists at her sides , nails digging into her palms so deeply that it should have hurt , but she didnt feel a thing .
Meanwhile , Ruth finally recognized the woman , too .
Wait a second .
Isnt that Noelle ? she exclaimed loudly , pulling everyone out of their daze .
