Chapter 97 Noelles tears started to fall uncontrollably .
Jerk , she muttered through clenched teeth , her voice trembling .
Hendrix , who had been ready to bite her neck just moments ago , froze when he heard her words .
Then , he lifted his gaze .
Noelles lipstick was smudged , her eyeliner smeared from the tears that rolled down her cheeks , and her hair was a mess .
She looked utterly disheveled .
Yet , Hendrixs heart skipped a beat when he saw the tears glistening on her lashes .
His movements slowed .
Instead of continuing , he cupped the back of her head gently and kissed her .
This kiss was much softer and tender .
Noelle didnt resist the way she had earlier .
In reality , Hendrix couldnt bear to see her in pain , either .
But now , as her resistance eased , Hendrix found himself regaining his composure .
Just as he was about to speak , hoping to reason with her , Noelle suddenly bit down hard on his lip .
Mr.
Freeman .
It had been a day , yet Dan still couldnt stop glancing at Hendrixs lips whenever they spoke .
Of course , the handprint on Hendrixs cheek was also noticeable .
But it was nothing compared to the bloodied scab on his lip .
The slap on its own might lead people to believe that it was about some sort of family disagreement .
However , the wound on his lips told a different story .
The only explanation was that these marks were left by a woman .
Hendrix had been divorced for almost two months .
The woman who left those marks was a complete mystery .
What is it ? Hendrixs deep voice broke Dans train of thought .

Snapping back to attention , Dan replied , Its Mrs.
Freeman .
Shes here .
What does she want ? Hendrix asked sharply .
Said shes here to drop something off .
Shes waiting in the lounge , Dan explained .
I dont have time to see her .
Tell her- Whats keeping you so busy that you dont even have time to see me ? a cold , familiar voice interrupted him .
Hendrix furrowed his brows .
Dan quickly turned to face Beatrice , Mrs.
Freeman , Mr.
Freeman is- What happened to your face ? Beatrice cut him off , her sharp eyes instantly zeroing in on Hendrixs injuries .
Her expression darkened .
Are you dating someone ? No , Hendrix answered flatly .
Then , whats with the injuries ? 1/2 sapter Ran into something , he replied without hesitation , his tone brisk and dismissive .
Beatrice frowned , and she turned her attention to Dan , who immediately dropped his gaze .
What do you need ? Hendrixs tone grew impatient .
Beatrice pressed her lips together before responding , This is Ms.
Wrights number .
You should call her in the next couple of days .
Also , I got you tickets to a concert .
You should take her with you if things work out .
It took Hendrix a moment to catch her meaning .
He looked up at her , frowning .
Im not ready to think about that right now .
This isnt up to you , Beatrice shot back .
Dont forget that youre the heir to Amity Group , and your grandmother has been waiting for a great grandchild for years .
She paused , her tone sharpening .
She still holds 15 % of Amity Groups shares .
Shell never hand them over until you have a child .
Will you really be okay with those shares ending up in someone elses hands ? Hendrixs expression shifted at her words .
His gaze darkened as it locked onto hers .
What are you trying to say ? Beatrices face remained emotionless .
Do you really think youre the only heir in the Freeman family ?
