Chapter 309 Noelle maintained a calm facade , but as she completed the final stroke of her signature , the pens tip unintentionally tore through the paper .
She didnt bother to fix it .
Instead , she tossed the signed document at Hendrix .
As for Hendrixs reaction ? She didnt bother to check .
After ossing the document onto his lap , she turned and reached for the door .
But before she could step out , Hendrixs voice came from behind , Where are you going ? Let me drive you .

Oh , and since the agreement is signed , lets take care of the marriage registration tomorrow .
Ill pick you up in the morning , okay ? Noelle didnt respond , nor did she reject him .
Instead , she decisively closed the car door with a loud thud .
The car fell into silence once more .
Hendrix gripped the steering wheel , his eyes lingering on Noelles retreating figure for a moment before he finally picked up the document she had thrown at him .
There were two copies , and Noelle had signed her name on both .
Though she hadnt taken the copy meant for her .
Maybe she forgot , or maybe … she simply didnt want to see it .
Either way , it didnt matter .
She had agreed , and that was all that mattered .
Hendrix glanced at the documents for a moment before carefully putting them away .
He then started the car and drove back to Freeman Manor .
It wasnt particularly late , so both Ophelia and Beatrice were still awake .
Since the incident last time , their relationship had plummeted to an all time low .
Ophelia resented Beatrice for tarnishing the familys reputation , while Beatrice had stopped caring entirely about Ophelias opinions .
Though they lived under the same roof the two barely exchanged a word with each other anymore .
Hendrixs sudden return that evening took both women by surprise .
Ophelia slammed down the cutlery she was holding onto the table .
Oh , so you still know the way back ? Do you have any idea how many calls I had people make to you ? Sorry , Grandma .
Things have been very busy lately , and I didnt want to disturb your rest by coming back too late .
Please forgive me .
His attitude in admitting fault was impeccable .
Looking at him , Ophelia was momentarily at a loss for words .
In the end , she simply pursed her lips .
Hendrix calmly took a seat at the dining table .
Its a good thing that both of you are here , because I have an announcement to make .
Ophelia shot a look at Beatrice , who appeared just as puzzled , before asking , What is it ? Im getting married , Hendrix said with a faint smile .
Were going to register the marriage tomorrow .
His tone was steady , but the news landed like a bombshell , leaving both Ophelia and Beatrice wide eyed in shock .
Beatrice frowned deeply , while Ophelia was quicker to reac Why are you suddenly getting married ? Which familys daughter is it ? Is it the one I mentioned to you before- Chapter 309 +25 BONUS Its not , Hendrix interrupted .
It is a bit rushed , but thats not an issue .
Were all familiar with each other , so theres no need to repeat unnecessary formalities .
Ill bring her home for dinner tomorrow .
Familiar … Ophelia repeated .
Suddenly , something clicked , and she drew in a sharp breath .
You mean Yes , its Noelle .
What kind of joke is this ? Ophelia slammed her hand down on the table , her chest heaving with her cheeks quivered as her fury mounted .
anger .
The flesh Hendrix , youve been riding high for far too long that youve forgotten what your last name is ! Let me make this clear .
I object to this marriage ! I will never allow her to step foot in this house again !
