The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 299
Hendrix didn't have eyes on the back of his head, so this time, the pillow hit its mark. But he didn't even pause, nor did he turn to look at her. He simply walked out as if nothing had happened.Noelle suddenly felt everything was… pointless. In front of him, she couldn't change a single thing.It was like the pillow she'd thrown. She had hurled with all the fury she could muster, but ultimately, it didn't hurt him. All it did was make her seem even more foolish.…Noelle ended up going to the hospital. On the way, she saw the statement Dylan had released.He hadn't outright announced that their wedding was off. Instead, he said it was being postponed. As for how long the postponement would last, the statement didn't specify.But most people understood that "postponed" was just a polite way of saying canceled. Over time, as the delay dragged on and people eventually forgot about it, the wedding would quietly fade away without ever being officially called off.Noelle stared at t

The caregiver clearly hadn't encountered anything like this before. What made it worse was that Craig had only just woken up—not long ago, he'd been at death's door.Everyone knew he couldn't afford to get too worked up. But seeing his furious state now, the caregiver didn't even dare to calm him down.However, Noelle remained calm. After enduring the burning pain on her lower leg, she continued walking toward him.Craig clearly hadn't expected her to shamelessly approach despite everything. He grabbed the cup in his hand, ready to throw it at her again. But before he could, Noelle firmly pressed his hand down. Then, she turned to the caregiver and said, "Leave us for now."The caregiver, already feeling out of place, let out a sigh of relief at Noelle's words and promptly left the room.Noelle turned to look at Craig. "So, I take it you've heard about the situation at the company?""What do you think? I knew it! I just knew it! What kind of person is Hendrix? The moment he hande
The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 301
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.Still, Noelle couldn't help but think back to the time when he had humbled himself before her. It was precisely because of his attitude back then that Noelle had been lulled into the illusion that she could treat him however she wanted and that she could even exact some sort of petty revenge on him.Now, she understood—it had all been an act.This realization didn't shock Noelle, not in the slightest. What was laughable, however, was the unexpected sadness she felt in this moment.But it wasn't deep, unbearable pain. It was more like a shallow cut across he

Noelle couldn't quite remember how she left the hospital.It was still summer in Coppersville, and the sun was shining brightly. Yet, as its rays fell on her, she felt no warmth—only the chill of cold sweat trickling down her back, making her teeth chatter uncontrollably.The taxi soon pulled up to Nivis Villa.Staring at the familiar yet estranged place before her, Noelle suddenly recalled Craig's words from earlier—this was their only chance.Craig might have been thinking about using that evidence to threaten Hendrix, forcing him into some sort of compromise. But Noelle's thoughts went far beyond that. She understood Hendrix too well.Even if he were pressured into a temporary concession, he would undoubtedly find a way to recover whatever losses he'd suffered. With someone like him, there was no room for mercy.It was like facing a predator on the savannah. Superficial wounds would only provoke his fury. To truly win, she needed to find the right moment and strike a fatal blo
The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 303
Perhaps out of guilt or nerves, Noelle found herself frowning when Hendrix didn't respond for a while. Just as she was about to ask again, he casually gave her the verification code and the password. He didn't even bother to ask what she needed the computer for.She froze for a moment, but she didn't dwell on it. After a curt acknowledgment, she promptly hung up the call. Then, she quickly entered the number he had given her. The password was unfamiliar to her, and she had no idea what it signified, but she didn't ask, either.The computer unlocked quickly. And there, staring back at her from the desktop, was the wallpaper of their wedding photo.Noelle was momentarily stunned, but then, she thought about his dealing with Julio and the way he always presented himself with such calculated tenderness. The contrast struck her as utterly laughable. So, before even attempting to locate the files she was after, she took a moment to replace his wallpaper.Now, staring at one of the system

Noelle fell into a noticeable silence when she heard Hendrix's words. It was only after a long moment that she finally looked at him.But Hendrix didn't meet her gaze. Instead, he casually picked up his phone and began instructing someone to deliver dinner."What do you want to eat?" he asked, turning back to her with a bright smile.But Noelle simply sat there, expressionless, staring at him in silence.Hendrix narrowed his eyes slightly.Noelle suddenly smiled. "Anything's fine, though something light would be good."With that, she stood up and started walking away.Watching her retreating figure, Hendrix spoke again, "If there's something you're looking for, you can just ask me for it."As expected, Noelle had already guessed it from what he said earlier about the surveillance cameras. But when he asked so directly, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks, and she was clenching her hands so hard that even her knuckles began to ache.Then, slowly turning around, she replied
The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 305
"Yes," Noelle replied without hesitation."But even if you don't trust me, it doesn't change anything. After all, you'll never get the evidence you're looking for.""True." Noelle nodded. "But at the very least, I can make your life a lot less comfortable."With that, she placed the used napkin on the table, then picked up the glass of water in front of her and without a second thought, splashed it right in Hendrix's face.Water dripped down from his hair, trailing off the tips of his strands and clinging to his lashes like tiny droplets.Hendrix remained motionless, sitting there under the light, his face looking almost pale.Noelle didn't spare him a single glance. She turned on her heels and started walking away, but Hendrix quickly grabbed her hand. In one swift motion, he pulled her back and forced her onto his lap, holding her firmly in place."Is that it?" Hendrix smiled and looked at her. "This is your idea of making me uncomfortable? Isn't that a bit childish?"Noelle
The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 306
When Noelle woke up, Hendrix was already gone. She wasn't surprised. Dragging her stiff body out of bed, she began her morning routine.There was no point in going to the company anymore. It was only now that she realized he had already reached agreements with the other shareholders. The small amount of stock she held didn't even grant her the right to resist.Craig still held some influence, and while it might not be enough to completely stop Hendrix's acquisition, it could at least delay it. If they could use that time wisely to expose Hendrix and Julio's dealings, there was still a chance for them to turn things around.Noelle had already mapped out her plan on the way to the hospital. But when she arrived, she was met with an unexpected scene—Hendrix was already there, sitting inside.When he saw her, he even smiled and casually greeted her.Noelle's hands clenched tightly at her side.Just then, Hendrix spoke up, "It's wonderful that you're here as well, Ms. Swanson. That sa

"I'm damned for ever believing your words! Now, just die!" George didn't give Dylan another chance to speak. He pulled the trigger, aiming to shoot a bullet through Dylan's forehead.In that instant, Dylan finally understood. This time, Hendrix didn't intend to leave him alive.If the goal had only been to swallow up Morphy Fund and make Dylan lose everything, the matter would have ended there. However, it seemed that Hendrix must have said something to George, which led him to believe that Dylan and Hendrix were working together—that Dylan had betrayed Morphy Fund.At this point, George had no way out. So, it wouldn't be surprising if he shot Dylan in the head. What Hendrix wanted was for him to die.Dylan didn't know what he was thinking at that moment. By the time he reacted, he had already grabbed the gun's barrel and twisted it violently. The bullet scraped past his head.Without hesitation, George moved to pull the trigger again when Dylan, still holding onto his wrist, forc
The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 854
Dylan still remembered the victory party at the villa a few days ago. At that time, George had pushed him in front of everyone. He had enjoyed all the praise and recognition while sipping glass after glass of champagne.He knew that no matter how much doubt and skepticism there had been about him in the past, it all vanished that night. That was also why George had thrown him a victory party at the very first stage.After all, only by telling everyone about his achievements would they believe in him and entrust him with their funds. But they probably didn't expect the final result to be like this.Actually, when Fuer Fund continued to add to their position after reaching the peak, George had already warned Dylan that there might be some issues. But the market was unpredictable—a moment's decision or a few seconds of hesitation could lead to failure.Thus, Dylan didn't wait. He thought Hendrix was also gambling. So, he disregarded the risk and pushed all the funds in. He wanted Hend
The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 853
Noelle's expression changed at that moment. It took her a while to find her voice to ask, "Is that what really happened?""Hendrix definitely hasn't told you all these, right?" Dylan smirked. "It's because he's too afraid to mention them. So, tell me. How could someone like him possibly deserve a happy life? "Don't worry. I'll make sure to take him down this time. Once I get your passport, you can go whenever you want."When he finished speaking, there was sincerity and seriousness in his eyes as he looked at Noelle. He really hoped she would stay. Of course, he wanted victory. But if he could have her by his side when he achieved it, that would be even better.Although once he reached the top, anyone could stay by his side. But the person he wanted most was Noelle."Thank you," Noelle said in the end.That wasn't the answer Dylan was most satisfied with. But he knew he couldn't afford to rush things just yet. For now, it was enough that Noelle was on his side."Alright, go to
The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 852
As Dylan spoke, his teeth clenched tighter. It was unclear whether he was trying to convince Noelle or himself.Noelle remained silent, quietly watching him.After staring at her for a while, Dylan suddenly laughed. "So, do you know why we were celebrating tonight?"Noelle shook her head."Because we stole Fuer Fund's opportunity! It's all thanks to the plan you sent me before. Now, no matter what Fuer Fund does next, we'll know about it. "George is really happy, too. He used to doubt my abilities, worried that I'd drag down his fund, but you should've seen how he treated me tonight."Not just him, but the whole industry now recognizes me. I've finally established myself here!"Dylan's voice grew more excited as he spoke.Noelle, however, remained calm.The only sign of change was when she heard that he succeeded because of the plan she had given him—her brow slightly lifted. But it was just for a moment.She quickly regained her calm and nodded.Her reaction made Dylan fro
The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 851
George didn't care about being cautious. He was too excited. He had clashed with Fuer Fund a few times before, but when faced with absolute power, he had barely gotten any scraps from the table.Now, to be able to seize such a large slice of the pie from Fuer Fund and force them to back off, how could George not be thrilled?Thus, the drinks kept coming, one after another.Even if Dylan hadn't planned on getting drunk, it was hard to refuse the goodwill of so many people. In the end, he was thoroughly drunk.When he returned to the apartment, his steps were unsteady. Seeing the light still on inside, he paused for a moment. Then, he suddenly remembered he didn't live alone anymore. Noelle also lived with him now.Though Dylan was well aware, and his rational mind reminded him repeatedly that he had essentially kept her here as a hostage. If Hendrix made any further moves, he would have no choice but to kill her.But when he saw the light she had left on for him, Dylan couldn't he
The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 850
The plan Hendrix had given Dylan was, of course, real. Though he had been tempted to lace it with a trap and watch him walk right into it, he knew better—Dylan wasn't that stupid.More importantly, what Hendrix truly wanted wasn't just to bait Dylan into a trap. Even if Dylan didn't trust the plan, it didn't matter. Their team would still move forward with the plan. But if he did trust it, all the better.Fuer Fund wouldn't tolerate anyone messing with their slice of the pie. And what Hendrix wanted was to drag Erwin and the rest of them into the game.Dylan might have found himself a solid backer, but this wasn't Coppersville. Taking him down alone wouldn't be easy. But what if Fuer Fund collapsed with Hendrix? That would change everything, and that was Hendrix's real goal.Thus, Hendrix didn't even panic when Erwin called him out on it. He simply raised an eyebrow."If this gets out, do you still think you'll have a place in this business?" Erwin slammed his hand on the desk. "O

"Stay at your place?" Noelle asked."Yeah," Dylan said with a smile. "Hendrix already has another woman now, doesn't he? But don't worry. Unless it's something you're willing to do, I'll never touch you.""Alright."Dylan had planned to say more but was caught off guard by how readily Noelle agreed. Her response made even him freeze for a second. Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly."Do you need me to do anything else?" Noelle asked.She looked completely sincere and serious, like they were truly on the same side now.But Dylan still held on to a shred of suspicion. Regardless, Noelle was in his hands for the time being. If all of this really was an act, and she was lying to him, then she shouldn't blame him for what came next.With that thought, Dylan smiled slightly and gently took Noelle's hand. "Alright. I'll have someone make arrangements right away."Just as he finished speaking, his partner George called to inform him that Hendrix's side had already started moving."Tha

Dylan took Noelle out of the hospital. She truly wasn't feeling well. After Dylan drove for a while, her complexion turned even paler.In the end, Dylan had no choice but to take her to another hospital. While the doctor reported her condition to him, Dylan's gaze slowly fell on the person lying in the hospital bed.Noelle had fallen into a sleep. Her face was still pale, and her brows were tightly furrowed. She looked so fragile and delicate. But at that moment, Dylan couldn't be sure if she was scheming something.Ultimately, he didn't do anything. He just quietly sat by her side. He didn't know how much time had passed before Noelle finally woke up.When she saw him, she seemed momentarily startled. Then, a flicker of disappointment passed clearly through her eyes.Noticing this, Dylan narrowed his eyes slightly but said nothing."Thank you," Noelle said softly.Dylan looked at her without responding."Can I see my phone?" she asked.He handed it to her in silence.Noelle
The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 847
Dylan's gaze darkened. Just as he was about to step forward, someone else beat him to it.Hendrix crouched down in front of Noelle. "What happened?"Seeing this, Dylan almost laughed. He knew things wouldn't be that simple. With how devoted Hendrix had been to Noelle before, how could he possibly fall out of love so quickly?As expected, this was just a show the two of them had put on for Dylan. With that though, he didn't linger. He turned and was about to leave when he heard Noelle's voice."Let go of me!"Her voice wasn't loud in the noisy hospital, but Dylan heard it clearly. He immediately turned his head.Hendrix was holding onto her other hand, seemingly trying to take her away.But Noelle kept struggling. "Let go of me!""Noelle Swanson!""You already have another woman, so why do you still care about me?" Noelle gritted her teeth and glared at him. "Let me tell you—I don't want anything you gave me! And I don't want to see you right now, either!"As she spoke, she tr
