Hendrix had already planned this even before their fallout. He had likely intended all along to use this opportunity to swallow Elm Group entirely. None of this had anything to do with Noelle. Forcing her to bow her head and beg him now was just a bonus to him.

Noelle's thoughts had never been clearer or more rational than in this moment. She wasn't particularly surprised After all, Hendrix had always been that kind of person.

Now, she understood it had all been an act.
