Chapter 531 Hendrix's grip on Noelle's arm was tight-so tight that it felt like he was about to crush her bones.

"Later, Seline told me that you were planning to get married through a matchmaking arrangement and that you knew about Rosie's condition but chose to ignore it—"

"That was a misunderstanding!" Hendrix interrupted her. "When I met Seline back then, I thought she was talking about your work on set. That's why I didn't—"
