Chapter 252 Hendrix had indeed drunk quite a bit .
After leaving Noelles place , he had gone straight to the bar , and he couldnt remember exactly how much he had drunk .
But when Lana appeared in front of him , he suddenly became incredibly clear headed .
So , he called Dan , asking him to handle things with Lana .
He had already wrapped up the Amity Group matter .
Thus he no longer needed Lana as a cover .
Moreover , when he looked into Lanas eyes , he suddenly became painfully clear about one thing she wasnt Noelle , nor could she ever replace Noelle .
So , he went back to Noelles place .
Noelle said he was crazy .
In truth , Hendrix felt that way too Because if he wasnt crazy , how could he have agreed to her conditions ? He knew full well she was degrading him , but at that moment , he suddenly wondered maybe she was just trying to force him to leave in this way ? And why would she do that ? Maybe it was because she still had feelings for him , and she was afraid she would fall for him again if she were to see him ? This thought did surface , but even Hendrix himself found it absurd and ridiculous .
But he knew he was sober .
He could even clearly hear a part of himself telling him he shouldnt be doing this .
Then , another part of him answered .
He knew , but he couldnt control it , nor did he want to .
He didnt know how much time had passed before he slowly opened his eyes .
The air conditioner in the room was set a bit too low , making him feel a chill .
But Hendrix quickly realized the real reason he was cold he was the only one in the bed .
He immediately got up from the bed , not even bothering to put on his slippers as he walked out barefoot Then , he saw her standing on the balcony , smoking .

The sky was beginning to lighten .
She wore a loose jacket , her hair falling lazily around her shoulders , with her cigarette glowing between her fingers .
Before she could even exhale the smoke , Hendrix had taken a few steps forward and snuffed out her cigarette .
The sudden movement made Noelle frown and look at him .
Hendrix didnt say a word .
He just pressed down on the cigarette , as if it were the devil itself .
Noelle stared at his hand for a moment before saying , Hendrix , its not too late to back out now .
Hendrix didnt answer .
He simply stared at her .
Noelle smiled at him .
Im not the Noelle I used to be .
Im a businesswoman now someone who smokes , drinks , and uses methods that are exactly respectable .
As some people have said , Im like a socialite .
Noelle wasnt expecting an answer from him anyway , so she turned away .
You can leave now , She had planned to walk away , but before she could take a step , Hendrix grabbed her hand .
Quit smoking , he said .
The Noelle you wanted no , the Noelle youre looking for is gone .
So , youre bound to lose in this deal .
The climate in Vinton City was a bit milder compared to Coppersville .
At this moment , the morning breeze still carried a hint of chill .
After Noelle finished speaking , she found her fingertips trembling involuntarily .
Hendrix remained silent .
he said .
The sudden statement caught Noelle off guard .
Then , she smiled and said , What difference would it make if I quit ? Do you think quitting will make me turn back into the person I once was ? Besides , I cant even think of 1 anything good about the old Noelle ? She was dull and boring , no ? And useless , too .
She was a total pushover whom others could easily manipulate .
