GoodNovelChapter 657 Noelle offered no response to what he said, as she thought Hendrix was still lying to her.
Seemingly aware of what she was thinking, Hendrix quickly added, "Jean went to see you before, right?" Noelle hadn't expected him to bring up Jean. Her previously sharp gaze softened as she asked, "What do you mean?" "You've probably already guessed it. I was the one who helped Jean fake the foreign investor she told Dylan about." At his words, Noelle finally remembered the matter.

Hendrix couldn't help but frown at her expression and reaction. He then pinched her cheek lightly and said in a voice tinged with dissatisfaction, "I'm not done talking yet." Not wanting to hurt her, he didn't use much force when he pinched her. But Noelle still found it annoying, so she swatted his hand away with a loud smack.
Hendrix, however, only smiled wider at her reaction.
Noelle found him strange but didn't want to delve into it, so she urged him to continue.

Dylan pinned everything he did to Mr. Fisher on me. And since Jean really loved Dylan before, he only had to sweet-talk her a little for her to believe him. But that's not all I wanted to tell you." Noelle had been about to ask him about Brian's case. After all, whether it was Hendrix or Dylan who was responsible, she suddenly felt the need for a real answer. But Hendrix changed the subject before she could speak.
She stared at him in confusion. "What else is there?" "Jean's dead," Hendrix replied.
Noelle had becparticularly sensitive to the topic of death after what happened with Seline. Her hand, which had been about to push him away, instead tightened around his. She looked him straight in the eyes and asked, "What did you just say?"
"She died abroad. They say she contracted a severe infectious disease and passed away after a few days in the hospital," Hendrix said, his warm, dry hand firmly holding hers. "And the two of them-Dylan and Jean-got married abroad.
