Chapter 302 Noelle couldnt quite remember how she left the hospital .
It was still summer in Coppersville , and the sun was shining brightly .
Yet , as its rays fell on her , she felt no warmth only the chill of cold sweat trickling down her back , making her teeth chatter uncontrollably .
The taxi soon pulled up to Nivis Villa .
Staring at the familiar yet estranged place before her , Noelle suddenly recalled Craigs words from earlier this was their only chance .
Craig might have been thinking about using that evidence to threaten Hendrix , forcing him into some sort of compromise .
But Noelles thoughts went far beyond that .
She understood Hendrix too well .
Even if he were pressured into a temporary concession , he would undoubtedly find a way to recover whatever losses hed suffered .
With someone like him , there was no room for mercy .
It was like facing a predator on the savannah .
Superficial wounds would only provoke his fury .
To truly win , she needed to find the right moment and strike a fatal blow .
Noelle stepped out of the car.
No matter what , she had lived here for two years .
She knew the layout of Nivis Villa better than anyone else .
Before long, she stood in front of Hendrixs study door .
He had told her that morning hed be very busy , which meant he wouldnt be back anytime soon .
While it wasnt certain that the files she needed would be here , for Noelle , this was an opportunity she couldnt afford to miss .
But she immediately became stumped at the sight of the passcode lock .
She tried Hendrixs birthday , then his phone passcode , and even shamelessly entered her own birthday .
Each time , the lock beeped with an error .
Noelle racked her brain , and after a moment , she decided to try another set of numbers one she thought was highly unlikely .
The door opened .
When the confirmation chime rang out , Noelle froze for a moment .
It was their wedding anniversary .
Hendrix , who had never celebrated it and had been reluctant even on their wedding day , had actually used that date as his passcode .
The thought was almost … laughable .
But Noelle didnt have the time or energy to dwell on it .

Once inside the study , she immediately began searching the desk .
She knew it was unlikely Hendrix would leave such critical documents lying around , but she wasnt about to overlook any possibility .
Thinking back , Hendrixs connection with Mondivera wast particularly deep .
She only knew about it because during one of their wild encounters in the study , she had accidentally glimpsed him tracking their stock trends .
But then , he had casually mentioned it to her .
As for what role he played in that fund or the daily fluctuations in capital , Noelle knew absolutely nothing .
After combing through the massive desk , she found nothing .
Finally , her gaze fell on his computer .
Unsurprisingly , it was password protected as well .
She tried several combinations , and in the end , the computer locked her out , displaying a message that verification via email was required to reset the password .

But Noelle didnt panic .
Instead , she calmly sat down in his chair and waited for his call .
As expected , a few minutes later , Hendrixs call came through .
Where are you ? His voice was normal , with no trace of urgency or alarm .
Nivis Villa , Noelle replied just as calmly .
In your study .
I needed to use your computer for something , but I couldnt figure out the password .
Hendrix suddenly laughed .
and was Noelle couldnt see his expression , so she had no way of knowing if he had already guessed her intentions and was mocking her for overestimating herself .
