Chapter 217 Didnt you meet with Hendrix last night ? Craig mercilessly exposed her lie .
Noelle fell silent .
Craig , as if he knew what she was thinking , said , Amity Group is planning something big over in Vinton City .

If you can secure this partnership , you should know what it means for Elm Group .

You wouldnt want to stay stuck in that subsidiary company forever , would you ? If this partnership is finalized , it will prove your capabilities to everyone .
When that time comes , I will officially transfer you back , and no one will question your position as a successor .
Craigs words were unhurried .
Noelle was tempted to take him up on his offer , but she was also well aware that he absolutely wouldnt really agree to let her go back and become the successor .
The death of Matilda had always stayed with him , and the only reason he let Noelle stay in the company was merely because she was his only biological daughter .
Even though Noelle had seen through his intentions , she was in no hurry to refuse him .
Im not very sure yet , but Ill do some research to get a clearer understanding .
Craig responded with a grunt , following it up with a few perfunctory words about taking care of herself .
Noelle acknowledged him , but after hanging up , she couldnt help but laugh coldly .
Craig knew she had met with Hendrix last night , so he must have also known what had happened between them in the private dining room .
Yet here she was , still lying in a hospital bed , and he couldnt even be bothered to ask about her well being .
Luckily , she had long since been thoroughly disappointed in him , so she felt no pain anymore .
She simply tossed the phone aside and closed her eyes again .
But after a moment , a thought crossed her mind .
She picked up her phone again and dialed a number .
Hello , Mr.
Hayes .
Its me , Noelle .
Noelle and Clayton arranged to meet at a café .
Clayton , who was about the same age as Craig , had his share of typical male flaws .
However , he had become much more straightforward toward Noelle after she helped save him from a sticky situation at the restaurant .
Ive heard Mr.
Freeman mentioned it before , but it has nothing to do with our collaboration , Clayton said , taking a sip of coffee .
You know how it is were just a small winery .
A big project like Mr.
Freemans ? Thats way out of our league .
Mr.
Hayes , youre being too modest .
If your winery is considered small , then the rest of us might as well take a back seat , Noelle replied with a smile , pouring more coffee into his cup .
She was about to continue when Clayton suddenly asked , If you want to know , why not ask Mr.
Freeman directly ? Noelle froze for a moment but quickly recovered with a smile .
A small fry like me ? How would I ever get audience with him ? er an Were all on the same side , Ms.
Swanson .
No need to play oy .
Who doesnt know about your past with Mr.
1/2 Freeman ? You said it yourself past .
If there were any feelings left how would things have ended up like this ? Her words left Clayton momentarily speechless .
After a brief silence , he hesitated before suggesting , If you trust me , Ms.
Swanson , why dont I help arrange a meeting for you ? Consider it repayment for the favor you did me last time .
Noelles hand paused mid motion .
She met his gaze for a moment then chuckled .
No , that wont be necessary .
Mr.
Freeman already cant stand me I wouldnt want to drag you down with me .
