"What time is your flight tomorrow? I'm pretty busy, so I might not be able to give you a ride to the airport," Seline asked Noelle, glancing at Dylan as she spoke.She couldn't make it more obvious what she was hinting at, so Dylan immediately said, "I'll take you and Rosie to the airport, Noelle. What time should I pick you up?"Noelle took a deep breath and said, "It's fine. We can just take a taxi.""Let me do it. After all, who knows when we'll see each other again?" Dylan said with a hint of resentment in his tone.Seline clicked her tongue. "He's right, Noelle. You made this decision so suddenly that we didn't even have time to process it."Noelle could only smile helplessly.Just then, Dylan suddenly remembered something and proceeded to hand over the shopping bag he was holding to Rosie. "This is for you."Rosie glanced at the delicate pink packaging, then looked at Noelle.Noelle immediately recognized the logo on the shopping bag. The gift was clearly too extravagant

Seline couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. Then, she asked, "Ms. Rhett, right? I've seen you online before.""Oh, is that so?" Angela finally turned her attention to Seline, smiling. "So, I take it you're actually a fan of mine?"Fan? As if Angela would ever be worthy enough to have Seline as a fan.Seline barely held back the urge to roll her eyes. "I'm not exactly a fan. It just so happened I saw you a few times. But now that I think about it, didn't you have a boyfriend before? Wasn't he your classmate or something?""Yes, but we've broken up," Angela admitted freely. "It's not a crime to date around, right? After all, who here doesn't have a past?"As she spoke, her gaze drifted toward Noelle. It was as if she was telling everyone present that Noelle was Hendrix's "past".Seline gritted her teeth, about to retort when Noelle gently tugged her hand. This caused her to frown.Meanwhile, Dylan raised his wine glass and said, "Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've

When Noelle stepped out of the restroom, she happened to hear Seline say, "Please stop drinking. It hurts me to see you like this. Ugh!"Seline was standing in front of the mirror, washing her hands while mimicking what Angela said to Hendrix. She had never liked Angela, but after tonight, her dislike had turned into outright disgust.Noelle glanced at her and said, "She hasn't done anything to you, so why do you hate her so much?""Why do I hate her?" Seline widened her eyes as if Noelle had asked the most bizarre question."Why should I not hate her? Did you see how fake she was acting? And wasn't she subtly taking digs at you? She was basically saying you and Hendrix are ancient history! It's ridiculous! I wasn't even talking about that long ago when she was out shopping and checking into hotels with that other guy."Is Hendrix out of his mind? How can he even stand to be with a woman like her, who has nothing going for her? Do you think he's doing this just to provoke you? Hon
The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 539
Angela answered with complete composure, staring straight into Seline's eyes.Seline, on the other hand, was shaking with anger, feeling as if Angela was outright insulting her intelligence.So, this was the same excuse she had given Hendrix back then? And more importantly, did he actually believe it?If that was the case, then Seline had truly misjudged Hendrix. It seemed he wasn't a lunatic—he was just a complete fool.Noelle quickly grabbed Seline's hand. Then, she smiled politely at Angela before turning to leave.But Angela called out from behind them. "Ms. Swanson, I have something else I'd like to say to you.""What could you possibly have to say to her?" Seline was the first to turn around. "Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to talk to us!""Ms. Swift, I was addressing Ms. Swanson, not you.""You!" Seline was thoroughly enraged and itching to charge up to Angela and grab her by the hair.Noelle quickly held her back. She then turned to Angela and said,

In the end, Noelle accepted the gift Dylan had given to Rosie. However, Rosie didn't like the diamond hairpin. After glancing at it a couple of times, she placed it in a drawer in her room."Aren't you going to take it with you?" Noelle asked her.Rosie shook her head."If you don't like it, should I return it to Mr. Pritchett later?""Okay," Rosie agreed without hesitation.Noelle found this strange. "I thought you liked Mr. Pritchett. So, how could you not like the gift he gave you?"At her words, Rosie's expression shifted slightly. Then, she said, "I do like Mr. Pritchett. I just don't like the gift he got me."Noelle narrowed her eyes.Rosie quickly turned her head to avoid meeting her gaze. "I still prefer plushies. Mom, can you tell Mr. Pritchett to get me a bunny plushie next time?"As Rosie's mother, Noelle could naturally sense that something was off. But she didn't press further, simply agreeing to Rosie's request.It had already been decided that Dylan would take

Noelle felt as though she were some kind of object, being fought over and placed wherever others pleased. After a brief pause, she walked straight up to Hendrix and reached for her suitcase.Hendrix noticed what she was doing and took this as her giving him an answer. He tensed up instantly and gripped the suitcase tighter.Noelle naturally felt the increased pressure from his hold, and she couldn't help but frown. Then, she looked at him and said, "Let go."Hendrix pressed his lips into a thin line, and the veins in his forearm started to bulge from how much force he was exerting.He stared at Noelle in disbelief. So, between him and Dylan, she had actually chosen the latter?Beatrice also witnessed what was happening. She immediately furrowed her brows as she stepped forward. "Noelle, why don't you just let—""Hendrix Freeman, I said let go!" Noelle didn't even wait for Beatrice to finish her sentence. She kept her eyes locked on Hendrix and repeated herself firmly.Hendrix me

The house in Stormridge hadn't been lived in for quite some time. After returning, Noelle spent several days cleaning before it was finally somewhat livable.Throughout the process, Rosie followed her around with a rag, buzzing about like a busy little bee. Just when Noelle thought their days would continue peacefully, an unexpected apology statement surfaced online.It was about the scandal involving her and Ebony from a few months ago. The person who had spread the rumors admitted that they had never actually seen Noelle harassing Ebony. They had simply been unhappy about Ebony working with Noelle and had chosen to fabricate the story to ruin her reputation.By now, most people online had already forgotten about the whole thing. But the entertainment industry was what it was—especially when it involved a celebrity with a massive following like Ebony.The moment the news broke, it immediately sparked widespread attention.Ebony also took to Twitter, stating that he and Noelle h
The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 543
"It's me," Noelle said."I know," Hendrix replied."Did you handle the situation with Ebony?"Though she phrased it as a question, her tone said otherwise.Hendrix paused on the other end before responding with a quiet, "Yes.""Thank you for your help, but let's end it right here. There's no need to blacklist him.""What's the matter? Are you feeling sorry for him?" Hendrix asked, a hint of mockery in his voice. "Why would you feel sorry for a man who threw you under the bus the moment things went wrong?"Noelle naturally understood his implication but simply replied calmly, "If he had spoken up for me back then, it would've only made things worse. Besides, we were just colleagues, so he had no obligation to defend me. And it's not like he was the only one who stood by and did nothing, right?"Hendrix was left momentarily speechless by her words.Noelle didn't wait for his response and continued, "Regardless, I still appreciate what you've done. As for the rest, let's just for

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
