Chapter 306 When Noelle woke up , Hendrix was already gone .
She wasnt surprised .
Dragging her stiff body out of bed , she began her morning routine .
There was no point in going to the company anymore .
It was only now that she realized he had already reached agreements with the other shareholders .
The small amount of stock she held didnt even grant her the right to resist .
Craig still held some influence , and while it might not be enough to completely stop Hendrixs acquisition , it could at least delay it .
If they could use that time wisely to expose Hendrix and Julios dealings , there was still chance for them to turn things around .
Noelle had already mapped out her plan on the way to the hospital .
But when she arrived , she was met with an unexpected scene Hendrix was already there , sitting inside .
When he saw her , he even smiled and casually greeted her .
Noelles hands clenched tightly at her side .
Just then , Hendrix spoke up , Its wonderful that youre here as well , Ms.
Swanson .
That saves us the trouble- lets discuss everything together .
These are the current cash flow figures for Elm Group , and as of this morning , the stock price has dropped to … His voice was steady and detached .
The vivid memories of last night their heated , tangled moments in bed were still fresh in Noelles mind .
But now , Hendrix , dressed impeccably in a sharp suit , was meticulously outlining his plans for acquiring Elm Group to her .
He was every inch the cold , ruthless businessman .
Noelle suddenly felt an urge to laugh , and so she did .
Then , she turned to Craig .
You agreed to this ? Craig didnt answer , but the defeated look on his face said it all .
In truth , Noelle knew that given Elm Groups current state , being acquired was already the best possible outcome .
If the companys internal financial issues were exposed , it would face an even worse situation .
In that case , a forced judicial auction would be the ultimate disaster .
Still , Noelle found it hard to accept .
She hadnt expected Hendrix to refuse her even this small window of time .
Was it because they had laid everything bare between them ast night ? So Noelle knew dealing with someone like Hendrix required a fatal blow .
Anything less , any misstep that tipped him off , would only lead to total defeat .
Yet , he wasnt willing to give her even the slightest chance .
The thought made Noelle let out a soft , bitter laugh .
I see , she said , then she turned to Craig .
Youve agreed , havent you ? Theres nothing left for me to say Perhaps because Noelle agreed so readily , Hendrix looked at her with a hint of surprise .
But he quickly recovered , letting out a light laugh .

He stood up and made his way to the door but suddenly stopped , as if something had just occurred to him .
Turning back to Noelle , he said , h , by the way , I dont have any engagements tonight , so wait for me , and well +25 BONUS Chapter 306 have dinner together .
Once again , he had seamlessly donned the mask of warmth and tenderness without missing a beat .
Noelle simply stared at him expressionlessly .
As if sensing what she was thinking , Hendrix quickly added , Weve sorted out Elm Groups bad debts , but there are still other matters between us that remain unresolved , arent there ? For instance … something about Dylan ? Noelle had been ready to retort , but the moment he mentioned the last part , it was as if all the anger she had been building up suddenly dissipated .
