Chapter 329 No , Noelle rejected without hesitation .
Why should I agree to this ? See ? You know it .
She doesnt love me , Hendrix replied .
I just dont want to make a pointless bet with you .
If youre really that confident , why not take me up on the bet ? After all , in your eyes , youre guaranteed to win .
You could get me to do something for you .
Doesnt that sound like a pretty good deal for you ? Noelle still wanted to refuse , but when she met his gaze , she suddenly hesitated .
Maybe it was because the Hendrix of that night reminded her of her past self .
And that was when she thought about what Beatrice would feel a biological child , whose relationship with her wasnt exactly close , compared to someone with no blood relation to her who appeared so obedient .
Noelle bit her lips and asked , If you win , what will you ask me to do ? Hendrix just chuckled and said , You dont have any faith i yourself , huh ? Forget it .
Noelle regretted her hesitation , turning away .
I dont want to know , and I wont bet with you .
Hendrix didnt respond to her words .
Instead , he pulled out his phone and dialed Beatrices number .
Noelle watched his actions clearly , about to tell him she hadnt agreed to any bet when Hendrix glanced at her .
Her mouth immediately shut .
Soon , Beatrices voice came through the speakerphone , Hello ? Its me , Hendrix said .
Mm hmm .

Was tonights situation all part of your plan ? Hendrix slowly released his grip on the steering wheel , originally planning to light a cigarette , but quickly thought of something .
His hand dropped back down .
He continued , You knew I wouldnt show up if you simply told me it was a family dinner , so you tricked Noelle into coming first , then informed me , right ? Youre overthinking it , Beatrice responded , her voice carrying a hint of sarcasm .
Noelle came on her own .
I didnt expect that you two wouldnt even be in contact .
Hendrix didnt mind her tone , continuing , Hinm , maybe I was overthinking it .
But when it comes to Nathans return , you cant tell me you didnt know , right ? Acting without consulting me first .
Thats quite interesting , isnt it ? Beatrice fell silent .
Her silence clearly indicated she was tacitly acknowledging what Hendrix had said .
Hendrix turned his gaze toward Noelle , who was frowning deeply .
He knew well enough that with just this exchange , Noelle wouldnt admit shed lost .
So , after closing his eyes for a moment , he asked again , Why ? Im your son .
Hendrix himself would never have asked such a question .
Because it was meaningless .
If Beatrice truly cared about their bond , she wouldnt have done what she did.
But since she did , what could asking for the reason possibly change ? +25 BONUS Chapter 329 Hendrix , I just want you to understand th … everything in this world goes the way you want it to .
And , you have everything you have today not because youre so smart or capable , but because … Because I was born into the Freeman family , Hendrix interrupted her and laughed .
Ive heard that line a thousand times since I was a child .
Anyway , thank you for your guidance , both then and now , Mom .
With that , Hendrix hung up the phone .
