The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 420
When Hendrix woke up, he was in the hospital. He blinked a few times, and as his consciousness slowly returned, he suddenly remembered something.Immediately, he tried to push himself up, but a sharp, tearing pain shot through his wound. He turned even paler in the face, yet he ignored the pain and turned to look for Noelle."Mr. Freeman!"Dan noticed his movements right away and rushed over without hesitation, forcibly pressing him back down."You just woke you, so don't move. Otherwise, your wound will tear open."Hendrix didn't care about any of that. He grabbed Dan's wrist in return and asked, "Where's Noelle? Where is she? Is she hurt?""Rest assured that Mrs. Freeman is fine. She wasn't injured at all," Dan replied quickly.At those words, Hendrix finally let out a breath of relief. But soon, he frowned again and looked toward the door.That look in his eyes—the message was clear.Dan immediately understood and quickly explained, "Mr. Freeman, Mrs. Freeman was here the w

Hendrix stiffened. He was even doubting if he had misheard something.When he looked up, he saw Noelle frowning at Dan as she asked, almost accusingly, "Didn't he just wake up not too long ago?""Yes, but the doctor has examined him, Mrs. Freeman. Mr. Freeman is…" Dan wanted to explain further, but his voice trailed off as he looked at Noelle. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Freeman."Noelle said nothing. She stepped forward and took the documents away from Hendrix's hands."I made you some soup," she said. "Get some rest after you've eaten it."Hendrix didn't respond.Noelle bit her lip, thinking he was angry because she had his things kept away. "You just woke up not too long ago. You need to rest."Still, Hendrix was silent.On the other end, Dan had quickly caught on. He swiftly kept the documents away and backed out of the room slowly, closing the door for them.Hendrix didn't pay much attention to him. He was still staring at Noelle.Noelle could feel the heat in his gaze. She didn't

They had clearly done more intimate things countless times before, yet at that moment, Noelle felt her wrist starting to feel uncomfortably warm.The moment Hendrix loosened his grip, she retracted her hand immediately.Hendrix said nothing. He was just waiting for her to feed him.Noelle had no choice but to comply.This time, he was very cooperative, finishing a bowl of soup quickly. Hendrix had no urgency to rest after that. He simply lay there, watching her.She ignored him and focused on packing up the food container. "I'll leave for now. Have a good rest."She turned around and left immediately, but Hendrix stopped her once more."What's the rush?" he asked. "Sit with me for a while."Noelle frowned as she gently retracted her hand. She didn't leave right away. After some hesitation, she sat by his side.Hendrix had braced himself for her rejection after pushing her limits quite substantially earlier, so he was surprised that Noelle chose to stay.She was sitting by h

Then, the figure turned around and asked, "You're awake?"As she drew closer, Hendrix's tender expression disappeared."I had such a fright! I've been summoned for shift work in the emergency department, and I've been so busy the past few days. I finally had some time to check my phone, and I saw the news about you. "I thought something bad had happened to you. Thank goodness you're okay." Olivia Garnet's eyes were red-rimmed as she spoke.Hendrix's frown was furrowed tight as he snapped coldly, "What are you doing here?""I came to visit you. When I saw that there's no one around, I thought of pouring myself a cup of water since I'm parched having just finished work. "I didn't expect you to be awake now. Do you want some water? I can pour you some too—"As Olivia spoke and was about to take a seat, Hendrix didn't hesitate at all before blurting it, "Get out."His cold, aloof attitude took Olivia by surprise."Do you not understand what I just said?" Hendrix's voice grew col

Noelle had been wandering outside for a while. When she returned, Beatrice had already come out.But she hadn't left. Instead, she was sitting by the door, clearly waiting for Noelle to come back.Noelle had no choice but to stop and face her.Beatrice smiled at her. "You're back?"Noelle nodded."It must have been exhausting for you to take care of Hendrix all this time," Beatrice continued. "He's not the type to sit still and do nothing. Even in this state, he's still working every day. You'll have to keep an eye on him for me."Noelle wanted to say that their relationship wasn't at that level yet, but since Beatrice had already asked her to do so, she could only nod stiffly."I understand, Mrs. Freeman.""Although your wedding was disrupted, I'm still glad that this situation helped you both see each other's true feelings."As she spoke, Beatrice reached out to take Noelle's hand. "Promise me you two will live happily ever after together, okay?"Her tone was solemn, and he

Olivia clearly hadn't been trained for situations like this. When the man touched her, her expression immediately changed.She immediately snapped her head around to glare at him. "What are you doing?"The man had only meant to touch her casually. For him, such behavior was second nature. But Olivia's reaction caught him off guard.He quickly chuckled coldly and said, "What are you talking about? What did I do?""I'm asking you what you did! You touched me just now! Everyone saw it!" Olivia replied through gritted teeth.Hendrix had been talking to someone beside him, and it wasn't until Olivia's shrill voice rang out that he looked up.Olivia just happened to sweep her gaze over him at that moment, but she quickly looked away. Her eyes became slightly reddened the next instant."I didn't touch you." The man's smirk deepened. "You're new here, aren't you?""So what if I am? I'll have you know there are surveillance cameras in this room. All I have to do is check the footage to

As soon as Olivia finished speaking, Hendrix paused for a moment before asking, "Why should I help you?""I… You.. As a member of high society, and as a man, isn't it only right for you to help a woman when you see her being humiliated and treated unfairly?" Olivia sounded full of righteous anger.Hendrix smiled, but his gaze remained cold. "Sorry. I don't have that kind of mindset, nor will I ever do something like that.""You! I guess I shouldn't be surprised since you men are all the same! You're all in this together!" Olivia said through gritted teeth.Hendrix couldn't be bothered with her. Just as he was about to turn and leave, Olivia suddenly rushed forward and grabbed his arm.Her action made Hendrix's expression change instantly. Without even needing to think about it, he pushed her hand away.His voice turned extremely icy. "Get lost!"Olivia had been furious at first, but when she saw the disgust in his gaze, she froze in place. Then, she suddenly felt a wave of indes

Noelle knew that Hendrix was doing this to prove her innocence.When they entered the private dining room, she wasn't surprised to see that it was filled entirely with men.Noelle had rarely been seen in public lately. In the past, she would occasionally accompany Hendrix to public events, but she didn't even attend those now.In fact, the last time she had appeared in public was at their own wedding. But the wedding was disrupted midway, so no one had had the chance to speak with her.Now that they saw her, they immediately began offering toasts with smiles on their faces."My wife has been wanting to chat with you. She's hosting a tea party at home for two days—you should join if you have time.""I heard you enjoy painting, right? I saw a piece at an auction recently."Noelle hated dealing with situations like this. Back when she worked at Elm Group, she had no choice but to put up with it. But now, she didn't want to entertain a single word.Fortunately, Hendrix noticed her

Erwin still showed signs of dissatisfaction. It seemed he was saying something, but Noelle could no longer hear him. She didn't look back either, instead turning her gaze to the other people at the party.The loud music continued, and the excitement and energy of the crowd remained high. But Noelle knew that this wasn't the usual celebration. This, in fact, was just Hendrix's way of making her adapt and accept the situation.Though she had known this for some time, the realization still made Noelle uncomfortable. Then, she suddenly remembered something Dylan had told her a few days ago about her past with Hendrix.Even though she knew Dylan's words weren't necessarily true, that didn't mean everything he said was a lie. How much of the past he mentioned was real, and how much was false?Noelle actually thought her life was fine now. She was willing to accept her past choices and believed in Hendrix's feelings for her. At least, this was what she thought sometimes.But at other tim

Dylan didn't dare to stay there. He immediately drove back to his place.He wanted to take Noelle with him and leave. Even if she didn't have her passport, it didn't matter. After all, there were definitely people looking for him right now.But no matter what, he was going to protect her. Even if they had to roam the world, it didn't matter. As long as they were together, it was fine. Even if it was just a shabby house, as long as there was a light on, that would be their home.However, when Dylan returned to the apartment, he found Noelle nowhere in sight. Gone also were all her things. The desk and floor were spotless, as if nothing had ever existed there.Dylan remained standing where he was. It took him several minutes to finally process what he was seeing. Then, he couldn't help but laugh. It was as if he had just heard the biggest joke—he laughed so hard that his whole body shook.Of course, how could he have thought she would be waiting for him here? How could she possibly

"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

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

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

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 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
