GoodNovelChapter 776 Hendrix had been scanning Noelle from head to toe. But when he heard her words, he paused slightly and looked at her again. "You were worried about me?" "Yeah. They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" Noelle frowned. "I can testify for you. It was Sid who attacked first, and you were just protecting me." Hendrix studied her for a moment before suddenly laughing. "Of course they made it difficult for me. That bastard is still lying in the hospital, and he might even end up disabled. I've been bailed out for now, but I might still have to stand trial later. Who knows? I might even end up in prison." Noelle slowly turned pale in the face as his words slowly sank in.

Noelle, however, only frowned.
Just as she was about to ask what was so funny, Hendrix asked, "You're not going back tonight, are you?" "Huh?" The sudden shift in topic caught Noelle off guard. She blinked at him, momentarily stunned, unsure how to respond.
"It's late, and I haven't eaten yet. Chave dinner with me. Then, we'll find a hotel for the night." Hendrix made the decision decisively. After he said that, he pulled her forward.
Noelle instinctively tried to pull her hand free. But then, remembering something, she let it drop.
