The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 619
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

"Prepare myself? Why would I need to prepare myself? What are you talking about?" Noelle asked. "Oh, right. I should give Seline a call. She should be with Rosie—she'll definitely know where Rosie is. Rosie might seem well-behaved most of the time, but don't let that fool you. She can actually be quite mischievous."Right after she learned to walk, she loved hiding in all kinds of places around the house. Once, she hid under the bed without me knowing, and I couldn't find her even after searching for a long time. In the end, I had to call the police to find her."But good thing she's well-behaved. She knew she had scared me that time, so she never made me worry like that again. "Her health was never great. She often got sick as a child, and when she had a fever, she wouldn't want anyone but me. So, I had no choice but to hold her through the night."I simply held her like that. She was so small in my arms. Even though I was exhausted, I felt so fulfilled because I knew she was m

Noelle knew Hendrix all too well. So the moment she saw the doctor, she knew exactly what he was planning to do. She immediately took a few steps back.By then, Hendrix had already stepped forward. Noelle's pupils widened slightly, and without a second thought, she tried to push past him to rush outside.But she couldn't even break free from Hendrix's grip, let alone with so many people around. Thus, she was quickly pinned down on the bed, and the doctor prepared to inject her with a sedative."Let me go! Hendrix, let me go! What does it matter to you what I do? Let go of me!" Noelle began to struggle fiercely, her voice sharp as if it could pierce through anything.But their movements didn't falter, and the doctor plunged the needle into her arm without any hesitation."You bastard! Hendrix Freeman, you are a total bastard! I need to find Rosie. I just want to find my daughter—what right do you have to stop me? I hate you! I hate you!"Tears streamed down Noelle's face, but her

Noelle had used all her strength. In the past, even if she had lashed out at Hendrix, she had never used full force because of her feelings for him.But this time, she had put every ounce of her strength into it. Hendrix's cheek quickly turned red, but she didn't even spare him another glance.As she pushed him aside and tried to keep moving forward, Hendrix said, "They've found them."Hearing this, Noelle stopped in her tracks. Then, she slowly turned around and asked, "You're not lying to me, are you?""No.""Then, where are they? Is Rosie okay? Where is she?" Hendrix immediately rushed up to Hendrix, her words tumbling out incoherently. "Why hasn't she come to see me? Is she mad at me for not looking for her? Or did you hide her away?""She's in the hospital," Hendrix replied. "When the avalanche happened, they hid in a cave. They survived, but the entrance was mostly buried. So, it took the rescue team a long time to find them. She's still in the ICU under observation."Hend
The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 624
"The avalanche caused many deaths and disappearances," Hendrix explained, as if he knew what Noelle was wondering. "Right now, there's no one left at the ski resort to interview. So, the reporters had no choice but to camp outside the hospital to get the latest updates."A jolt went through Noelle. "So, someone has died?""Yeah. The avalanche struck too suddenly, and the ski resort wasn't prepared with proper emergency measures, which led to many tourists being caught in it. Most of them are still missing as we speak."As Hendrix spoke, he drove the car into the underground parking garage.Noelle had been anxious the entire way. But now that they were actually at the hospital, she suddenly felt like retreating. Maybe it was because of the grim reality Hendrix had just described, or maybe it was the memory of the dream she'd had earlier.She couldn't stop trembling, but her legs seemed to move on their own, carrying her forward. Soon, she reached the ICU with Hendrix following clos

Hendrix pulled Noelle closer to him. "Mrs. Swift, I think you might be losing your mind."Hendrix remained expressionless, but the sharp, icy air radiating from him sent an involuntary shiver through everyone present.Marshall also whispered to Marla, "Stop talking.""Why should I stop? What, are you scared of him, too, now? Hendrix Freeman, others might fear you, but I don't! What else do I have to be afraid of when Seline is already in this state?"Hendrix didn't even glance at her again. He just gave Marshall a cold look before pulling Noelle away.Noelle's mind was completely blank. She didn't know what to do or say, only letting herself be dragged along by Hendrix like a puppet.Then, she saw Rosie inside the room. There was a time when she had also watched her like this in a hospital room. It was right after Rosie had her surgery.Back then, seeing the numbers on the monitors had filled her with joy and hope for a new life. But now, all that echoed in Noelle's mind were th

Noelle still remembered the first time she met Seline in Dynalis.At the time, she was traveling alone, and Seline was studying abroad there. The two had met online. Seline acted as her local guide, taking her to many places.During that period, Noelle had been trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and sadness. And Seline threw herself into being the best guide she could be, never prying or offering empty comfort.At first, Noelle thought Seline was just a hardworking international student trying to make ends meet. Later, she found out that Seline was actually the scioness of the Swift family.Despite being raised in privilege, Seline never had the spoiled attitude of a rich girl. On the contrary, she was loyal, passionate, and kind.When Rosie was born, Seline once asked Noelle what kind of person she hoped Rosie would become. Noelle looked at her and said she hoped Rosie could grow up to be like her.Seline had been humbled and surprised by the response at the time, but it was truly

"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
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 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
