《The Sway and Slide of Love》全部章節：第 191 章 - 第 200 章

Hendrix could hardly believe it when he first heard Dan say that Noelle had been arrested. In fact, he even thought it was absurd.In his memory, Noelle had always been far more rational than most people. Moreover, the very idea of her being involved in a stabbing incident seemed utterly ridiculous.But there was no denying it when he got into the car and read the detailed news article on his tablet. As soon as he saw the victim's name, William Kaplan, he no longer felt the slightest bit surprised at Noelle's surprise.The police had learned from the surveillance footage that it was William who had followed Noelle, and he was carrying another weapon that the authorities had found on the scene.Later, they discovered signs of strangulation on Noelle's neck. When she turned herself in, both her clothes and hair were a mess. All the evidence pointed to her acting in self-defense.Even so, with William now unconscious from excessive blood loss, a part of the responsibility still reste

"In any case, you should think about your adoptive mother, who's still in the hospital."That was the last thing Hendrix said to Noelle before leaving.Noelle couldn't help but feel that he had misunderstood something. Perhaps it was because she appeared too calm, and he thought she had already resigned herself to the worst possible outcome. Did he even think she might consider ending her life?If that was what he thought, then he was truly overthinking. What Noelle simply wanted was peace and quiet. And if she did end her life, it would only mean that Craig got what he wanted. After all, wasn't it his ultimate plan for her to be gone?The mere thought of the vile, horrifying things they had done to Noelle made her tremble uncontrollably. She had never imagined that the people so desperate to see her dead would one day turn out to be her own biological parents.Sitting on the bed, Noelle closed her eyes tightly. They were dry now, utterly parched. There wasn't a single tear left t

The first official day back to work was eight days after Christmas. Hendrix clearly remembered that this day was supposed to be the first trial for Noelle's case. However, not long after, he received word that the trial had been canceled.Moreover, Noelle and William had already signed a memorandum of understanding. Hendrix couldn't believe it. The harm William had caused to Noelle wasn't just the recent knife attack but also the countless trauma in her childhood.Hendrix even thought that if he had been there at the time, he might have truly killed William—no matter how rational he usually was. So, he didn't think Noelle's retaliation was excessive in the slightest. A person like William deserved to go to hell.Yet, Hendrix was told that Noelle had made peace with William? He simply refused to believe it. In fact, his first thought was that Craig must have threatened her with something. But what weakness could she have left?He couldn't figure it out. After all, Cynthia was still

The night after Hendrix visited Noelle, she suddenly heard a commotion from the room next door. When she got out of bed, she learned that something had happened to Matilda. Her condition had been unstable since the evening, and now, it had taken a sharp turn for the worse.Craig had already arrived, whereas Sandra was nowhere to be seen. When he saw Noelle sitting outside the emergency room, he immediately rushed over and grabbed her shoulders."How is she?"Noelle shook her head. "The doctors are still trying to save her.""How could this happen? She was fine when I left! Did you say something to her that caused her to be upset?"Craig's emotions were boiling over, and his first reaction was to find someone to take his frustration out on.Noelle simply looked at him calmly. "Aren't there cameras in the room? Why don't you check for yourself?"Her calm response left Craig at a loss for words.Soon, the door to the emergency room opened, and Craig immediately rushed forward."T

Despite the rushed nature of the wedding, all the important guests were still invited. Noelle, as the bride's family, stood at the entrance with Craig.She wore a champagne-colored gown, and her long hair was neatly styled up, exposing her slender neck. Her makeup was subtle, enhancing her natural beauty and giving her an exquisitely refined appearance.Although her outfit was modest enough, it was inevitable that people would still gossip about her due to the recent events. They naturally didn't say anything in front of Noelle, but the odd glances directed toward her still cut her like a knife.However, Noelle had anticipated this would happen before arriving, so she didn't react at all. Instead, she continued to greet everyone with a smile. It was at this moment that Ruth appeared.She was dressed quite extravagantly, wearing a pale, moon-white gown, seemingly unconcerned about clashing with the bride's wedding dress. Her makeup was strikingly bold, so much so that before anyone
