Chapter 677 Then, Ruth realized that from her seat, she could still see Noelle and Hendrix.

As one of the most prominent figures in Coppersville, Hendrix was naturally seated in the front row. But it seemed he wasn't interested in what was being showcased on stage at the moment.

When Ruth looked over, she noticed Hendrix turning to gaze at Noelle. After a pause, he reached out and gently tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. It was a simple, ordinary gesture. But then, he suddenly pulled the strand back out. And then, he started repeating the action.

If Ruth hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that Hendrix was capable of such behavior. Shocked by the sight, she was about to point it out to the person next to her when Noelle swatted Hendrix's hand away. Then, Noelle turned and glared at him. Hendrix, however, didn't seem upset. Instead, he smiled and whispered something into her ear.

Naturally, Ruth wasn't able to hear what they were saying from such a distance. But she smiled and said to the woman beside her, "Look at them. They're such a loving couple. I'm starting to think it's not that Noelle doesn't like going out, but that Mr. Freeman prefers to keep her all to himself." Seated beside Ruth was a woman around her age. She wasn't a local of Coppersville, and her husband was merely middle-tier in their social circle. Just a short while ago, she had been exceptionally eager to please Ruth. But now, as Ruth's words fell, the woman didn't even offer a reply.

Ruth's smile faltered, her voice fading bit by bit. But refusing to give up, she tried to get her attention again. "Mrs. Galvan?" Ashley Humphrey still didn't reply. Instead, she turned to someone on her other side and said something that elicited a laugh from both women.

Ruth didn't know what they were laughing about, but she could clearly feel their gazes falling on her. Paired with their laughter, those looks sent a stab into her heart, causing her blood to turn cold in an instant.

She opened her mouth to say something, but before the words could leave her lips, she forced them eat back down her throat. Because ee that moment, she realized one thing no matter what she said, they wouldn't respond to her.

To them, she was now a living, breathing joke. Just like Hendrix earlier, they couldn't be bothered to spare her a single word.

Ruth couldn't help but ball her hands into tight fists. It was then that she noticed someone in front of her standing up. Like grabbing onto a lifeline, she immediately followed.

"What do you think you're doing?" a cold voice suddenly cfrom 'm behind her. Ruth hatted abruptly and immediately turned around to find Hendrix frowning and looking at her with a guarded expression. Ruth's heart skipped a beat under his piercing gaze. She hadn't expected Hendrix to be so protective, to the point even following Noelle to the restroom.

After a moment, she finally found her voice. "I-I was just going to the restroom." Hendrix narrowed his eyes but said nothing.

Ruth, as if throwing caution to the wind, stepped closer to Hendrix. "Mr. Freeman, can you give my husband a chance with the Galaxy Project? He's handled similar projects before, so he's more than capable. Please consider it as doinga favor for old time's sake." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
