The woman immediately caught on to what Hendrix was saying. "I see. You're that bitch's friend, aren't you?"

Hendrix was still on the phone with his lawyer, but he immediately fell silent when he heard what she said. He turned to look at her.

The woman chuckled coldly before saying, "Wait, no. I should say you're her backup, right? She's really something, alright. Managing to string along so many men at once.

"I knew it! All that talk about her being some sort of talented female comic artist is all just a hype! I bet she's got plenty of men like you propping her up in secret, doesn't she?"

As she spoke, she glanced up and down at Hendrix.

She came somewhat from a well-off family, and over the years, her experience as a dedicated fan had naturally exposed her to plenty of high-end items. So, with just one glance, she could tell the clothes and watch on Hendrix were worth a fortune.

That only reinforced her earlier assumption.noveldrama

"You must be Noelle's sugar daddy, right? Do you know she's flirting with my favorite celebrity every day

on set? Oh, and she has a bastard kid, too. Wonder who the baby daddy is. Don't you think it's a waste to be spending money on a woman like her?"

The woman kept rambling, but Hendrix's expression remained unchanged.

As she got more excited, she even tried to convince Hendrix to join her in blacklisting Noelle and completely destroying her.

But by then, Hendrix's lawyer had arrived.

"I'll leave you to deal with her," Hendrix said as he removed the memory card from the woman's camera. Displeased, the woman was about to confront him, but the lawyer stopped her.

"Hello, I'm Mr. Freeman's attorney. If you have any issues with him, please speak with me instead."

...

In the end, Hendrix never stepped into the set.

After returning to the hotel, the first thing he did was open the memory card and go through the photos one by one.

Most of them were of Noelle working seriously. And the more he looked at the photos, the more absurd the woman's words seemed.

What a joke! As if Noelle would ever be interested in that overly groomed and gaudy man.

She had attended countless

business dinners with Hendrix in the past and had seen how those in the entertainment industry groveled before them. So, how could she possibly like someone like that?

But Hendrix's certainty wavered when he reached the last few photos.

They showed Noelle following the man into his trailer. Since the photos had timestamps on them, Hendrix was able to determine that Noelle stayed in the trailer for a full hour.

And judging from the photos, the man's staff members were all waiting outside.

What could a woman and a man be doing inside for an entire hour?

Hendrix didn't know. But at that moment, fragments of the dream he had began flashing through his mind.

It seemed ridiculous, but suddenly,

he realized that the face of the stranger in his dream had

overlapped with the face of the man in the photo.

The discovery made Hendrix bolt upright with his fists clenched and his jaw tightened.

But soon, he slowly uncurled his hands.

What the hell was he doing? He had a new life, and now, she did, too. All of this was perfectly normal.

So, it was understandable that she would have a new boyfriend.

Since he had already removed himself from her life, he didn't even have the right to question her anymore.
