"Thank you," Noelle said as she took the invoice from the mover. While confirming and signing the document, she added, "I was going to ask my husband to grab you guys some energy drinks when he got back, but he couldn't make it back in time. Here. Take this cash and get some yourselves.""You're too kind, but we can't possibly take this." The movers initially refused but eventually relented.After they left, Noelle immediately placed a pair of men's shoes by the door and hung a few men's clothes on the balcony."Mommy, are we going to live here from now on?" Rosie asked."That's right, sweetheart.""What about our old apartment?""I gave it back to the landlord. This is our new home now.""Then, will I still get to see Marco and the rest of my friends?""Of course. This place is close to our old place, and you'll also get to see them when you go to kindergarten."Hearing this, Rosie finally nodded in relief.Noelle had spent the whole day unpacking and didn't have time to coo

As soon as the door opened, Noelle was hit by a strong smell of alcohol coming off Hendrix. She immediately frowned and tightened her grip on the doorknob, bracing herself against the doorframe."What do you want?" she asked.It was already very late at night.There were three other families living on this floor besides Noelle, and the last thing she wanted was to put on a scene for the neighbors. So, she kept her voice low.Just moments ago, Hendrix had been banging on her door, demanding she let him in. But now that she had actually opened it, he stood there in silence, staring at her.After a brief moment of eye contact, Noelle looked away. "If there's nothing else, please leave."She moved to close the door, but the next moment, Hendrix pressed his hand against it."Do you really hate seeing me that much?" His head was lowered, his voice raspy. "I just moved in, and you couldn't wait to move out? Noelle, are you really that heartless? Won't you even give me the slightest cha

Instead, Seline apologized to Noelle about Dylan."I didn't have all the facts before, and I ended up meddling in your relationship. Honestly, I never expected Dylan to be that kind of person!"Seline frowned as she spoke, but she noticed Noelle was looking at her intently. That gaze made Seline's frown deepen.Then, she asked cautiously, "You don't blame me, do you?""Why would I blame you?" Noelle found it amusing. "This has nothing to do with you.""But I was the one who pushed you into it—""I'm an adult. If I can't even think for myself on a basic level, does that mean I should blame someone every time I make the wrong decision?"Noelle let out a sigh before continuing, "Besides, I also thought Dylan was a good fit at the time. But the truth is, we just weren't compatible.""Not compatible? He's the one who doesn't deserve you!" Seline immediately retorted. "And you know what? Lately, people in the circle have been talking—saying that the woman who dumped Hendrix ended up

Stormridge did get snow, but due to its geography and climate, it was only light snow—nothing like the heavy snowfall and snowman-building conditions Rosie had been dreaming of.Last year, Seline had offered to take Rosie abroad to see real snow, but she was still too young then, so Noelle had declined without much thought.But this time was different. Now that Rosie was older and had her own opinions, the moment Seline brought it up, Rosie immediately agreed. Then, as if suddenly remembering Noelle's say in the matter, she turned to look at her with big, sad puppy eyes."Mommy, we're going, right?"With her looking like that, even if Noelle wanted to refuse, she couldn't bring herself to say no. In the end, she just nodded and said, "Okay. We'll go.""Yes!" Rosie cheered, practically bouncing in excitement before turning to Seline to ask about the departure date. She even brought out her piggy bank, insisting she wanted to buy her own gloves and hat.Seline had originally planne

Noelle simply smiled.Meanwhile, the little boy had already taken Rosie's hand and was leading her over. "Mommy, I want to take Rosie Posie to go see some sparrows.""You little rascal, always coming up with random ideas! Where are you even going to find sparrows now?""They're there! I saw them yesterday!""No, you didn't. You were seeing things.""They're really there! I'll prove it to you right now!"The two of them started arguing, and it ended with the woman dragging her son back to the hotel by the ear.Noelle couldn't help but laugh at the mother and son. Then, she turned to Rosie and asked, "Did you have enough fun? Should we head back now?"Rosie shook her head. "I want to wait a little longer.""What are you waiting for?""Seline said she'd take me skiing today."Noelle glanced at the time. "At this hour, she probably won't be back. Let's go back to the hotel for a nap first.""No. I want to wait here. Seline's been promising for days."Rosie's stubbornness kicke

Noelle still couldn't shake her unease. But there was nothing she could do by following after them now, so she stayed where she was, watching them. Only when Seline and Rosie had become a speck in the distance did she finally enter the café.There weren't many tourists around, so the café was nearly empty of customers.Noelle chose a seat by the window. From time to time, she would either glance at the time or look up at the sky, which was still dark and overcast.The sense of foreboding Noelle was feeling grew stronger. She silently blamed herself for letting Rosie have her way. Once they got back, no matter how much Rosie begged or cried, she was taking her back to the hotel.Just as she was thinking that, a loud boom suddenly echoed from the distance. The thunderous sound made Noelle's hand tremble.Everyone in the café heard it, too, and they quickly stopped whatever they were doing and rushed outside.Noelle instantly turned pale in the face as she bolted out after them.Th

Before the woman could finish speaking, her husband yanked her arm sharply. Only then did she realize what she'd said and quickly cover her mouth."There I go again, always saying the wrong thing. Don't worry. I'm sure Rosie and the others will be fine."Noelle couldn't hear anything else the woman said after that. All she knew was that time was slipping away, bit by bit.The people trapped at the ski area had to know that their loved ones were anxiously waiting for their news. If they were safe, they would have reached out as soon as possible.But there was only radio silence from them.Even now, Seline's phone was still turned off. The cold, automated voice on the other end of the line made Noelle feel as though she were falling into an endless abyss. She didn't know how she was still standing, how she hadn't collapsed from the sheer weight of fear.The avalanche finally came to an end, and the rescue team arrived. It wasn't until the staff anxiously explained the situation tha

Noelle didn't know where she was. All she could see was the vast expanse of white. She didn't know what this place was or why she was here.Then, she heard Rosie's voice. "Mommy, I'm here. Come find me."The cheerful voice snapped Noelle out of her confusion. Right… She needed to find Rosie. But where was she?They had played hide-and-seek many times before. But Rosie never had much patience and would often peek out from her hiding spot to check on Noelle.Noelle always spotted her immediately. But to play along, she would pretend not to see her, spinning around exaggeratedly while asking, "Where's my little Rosie?"Every time, Rosie would giggle with delight, and when Noelle finally found her, she would laugh and say, "Oh, Mommy, you're so silly! You couldn't even find me!"But this time, Noelle truly couldn't find her. She kept calling Rosie's name.She could still hear Rosie's voice. "Mommy, come find me! Hurry!""Where are you? Rosie, come out, okay? Don't scare me like thi

Dylan had been wrong all along.Money and power—none of that had ever been what he was truly meant to chase. Because no one could stay at the center of power forever, and no one could possess those things for all time. What he should have been chasing was just that one light. That one light that would stay on for him late into the night. But now, he knew it was all too late.As he closed his eyes, Dylan suddenly thought of his mother, Leah. He remembered how, as a child, he had longed for a new set of paintbrushes. He had asked his parents for them many times. He even wanted to use his own Christmas money to buy them. But they refused.They believed it was wasteful. It didn't align with the frugal and disciplined lifestyle they lived by. So in the end, Dylan stole the set of paintbrushes from the stationery store.Because he came from a prestigious scholarly family and always kept a refined, gentlemanly image in public, the store owner never suspected a thing.But his parents fo

"Are you crazy? Noelle, let go of the wheel!" Dylan struggled to regain control of the car, but Noelle held onto the steering wheel tightly, refusing to let go.The car didn't slow down. On the contrary, it raced forward at an even faster pace.How long did this go on? Maybe it lasted only dozens of seconds. But for Dylan, it felt like the blink of an eye. Because the next moment, he saw the oncoming car.That car was speeding as well.Dylan didn't even have time to grab his gun. Just as he was about to slam on the brakes, the two cars collided at high speed. There was a deafening crash as the cars were thrown into the air, then slammed back down.Dylan's eyes widened. But in that instant, his first instinct was to turn and look at Noelle. Her eyes were already closed. She looked as if she had been prepared to face death all along. She must have known what he intended to do, and she also knew he didn't actually want to die.The only reason he took her away was so he could use her

Erwin was just about to repeat his question when a voice came from behind."Excuse me, but I think I know where your wife is."Hendrix spun around immediately.Standing behind them was a woman with long hair and big eyes. "I saw her just now in the backyard. Someone was taking her away. If I'm not mistaken, I think it was Mr. Pritchett from Morphy Fund?"At the mention of Dylan, Hendrix's expression turned dark as thunder. He charged up to the woman. "Where did they go?""I'm not sure. But I did take down his license plate number. Do you need it?""Where is it?" Hendrix barked.The woman held out her hand. "I'll give it to you for 1,000 dollars."Hendrix didn't carry cash with him. But he shoved his bank card into her hand without hesitation. "The license plate number!"The woman looked at the card, a little dissatisfied. But considering Hendrix's status, she figured he likely wouldn't care about such a small amount of money. Thus, in the end, she still showed Hendrix the phot

"Erwin!"The voice came just as Erwin stood on the terrace, smoking a cigarette in frustration.Although they had technically won the battle and he had earned a great deal from it, he felt, strangely enough, not the slightest trace of satisfaction. Maybe it was because Hendrix had forced him into the game. Or maybe, by now, winning and losing simply didn't stir anything in him anymore.At the beginning, Erwin had been somewhat excited. He had thought Dylan would be a difficult opponent—someone who could cause serious trouble, maybe even defeat them entirely. That would have been interesting. But instead, everything had gone far too smoothly. There had been no twists and no turns. Just a clean finish. It was boring, to say the least.And the current victory party? Equally so.Hendrix had insisted Noelle attend the party, saying she had flawlessly completed her part of the plan and that this victory was also hers. So, the party had turned out very wholesome, or rather, dull.Erwi
The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 857
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
