Chapter 218 After seeing Clayton off , Noelle stood alone in front of the cafe .
The heatwave rolling in from the street was a sharp contrast to the cool air from the air conditioning inside , and it made her throat itch uncomfortably .
Fighting the urge to cough , Noelle pulled a throat lozenge from her bag and popped it into her mouth just as a call from the office came through , urging her to return for a meeting .
The meetings agenda was similar to what Craig had mentioned to her a few days ago .
The past two years had seen a sluggish market , but Amity Group , as the industry leader , seemed untouched by the downturn .
The incident with Beatrice had caused quite a stir at the time , and Hendrix was labeled as cold and unfilial by the media .
He was also accused of pushing Beatrice to the brink , leaving her with no choice but to take that tragic path .
Meanwhile , the couple who had lost their son , Lloyd , took every opportunity to find reporters to smear his reputation .
Hendrix seemed completely unconcerned .
He went about his daily life as usual and even managed to find time to start a new relationship .
His calm and fearless demeanor gradually made the voices accusing him grow quieter and quieter .
This time , he in Vinton City to inspect the project on the outskirts of the city .
Everyone knew that a cluster of abandoned factories was about to be demolished to make way for a large scale resort .
The area already had some local architecture , and the plan was to develop it into a tourism hub , complete with education and medical facilities .
Once completed , it could easily become a landmark project for Vinton City .
Naturally , such a coveted piece of land attracted the attention of countless people .
Ms.
Swanson , I just realized something .
After the meeting , Oliver quickly caught up with her .
His face was filled with excitement .
Noelle didnt even look back .
What ? The man I ran into in front of your apartment that night suddenly remembered who he was ! Oh ? Who ? It was Mr.
Freeman from Amity Group ! I thought he looked familiar , and just now , when I was going through the documents , it clicked ! Olivers words made Noelle pause for a moment , but she simply responded with a brief oh and showed no other reaction .
Is he interested in- Did you forget about how I got alcohol poisoning last time Noelle reminded him So , it doesnt matter who handles the project , as long as its not me .
Oliver couldnt come up with a suitable reply .
Noelle rubbed her temples .
But we still need to fight for it Ill talk to Mr.
Garcia and have him take over the negotiations .
Okay , Oliver looked disappointed , but then he quickly reminded her , By the way , dont forget that you have a follow up appointment at the hospital tomorrow .

Noelle had a meeting with Julio Garcia that very day .
1/22 Chapter 216 www +25 BONUS เบ ร Though Noelle didnt believe Elm Group had much competitive edge in this matter , it was clear they couldnt afford to sit back and do nothing .
Their meeting lasted until 11:00 pm , and not only was Noelles throat dry from speaking for so long , but she was utterly exhausted as well .
Yet , when she finally lay down in bed , sleep refused to come .
Olivers words kept resurfacing in her mind .
She still didnt understand why Hendrix had shown up that night .
But whatever the reason , it couldnt possibly be because he was worried about her .
He had said it himself there was no future for them .
And now , the faint , lingering pain in her stomach constantly reminded Noelle of his cruelty .
She squeezed her eyes shut , forcing her emotions down .
The next day , Noelle went to the hospital on time .
The follow up results were fine , but the doctor prescribed her a bunch of new medications .
Noelle had barely settled into the car when Julios car came through .
