GoodNovelChapter 569 Noelle pursed her lips and finally took the document. "Thank you." After speaking, she glanced at Rosie.
Rosie immediately caught on and said, "Thank you, Great-Grandma." Ophelia didn't say anything more. She just leaned back on her bed and looked at Rosie.
Noelle didn't have much to say to her, and Rosie was still a little afraid of Ophelia, so they didn't stay long.

A frown immediately appeared on her face when she saw him.
Hendrix, however, looked calm. When his gaze fell on Noelle, it first swept over the folder in her hand.
After hesitating for a moment, Noelle handed the folder to him. "Mrs. Freeman Senior gavethese shares, but they're of no use to me. You can have them back." Hendrix smirked and said, "She didn't give them to me. Are you sure you don't want it?" "Yeah, I don't want them." "Then, give it back to her," he said coldly. It was clear he had no intention of taking the folder from her.
Thus, Noelle had no choice but to withdraw her hand.

But just then, Hendrix suddenly asked, "What did my grandma say to you?" The unexpected question made Noelle stop in her tracks.
"Nothing important," she replied without turning around. "If you're worried, you can check the surveillance footage." Hendrix fell silent.

But as soon as he stepped inside, Grant, who had been tending to Ophelia, stumbled toward him. When he saw Hendrix, he clung tightly to his arm as if his life depended on it.
