Chapter 284
Noelle’s words were soon proven true.
The day after the project was handed over to Julio, Amity Group notified them that work would resume.
Although Noelle’s responsibilities had been transferred to Julio, she was still the general manager of the subsidiary, so some processes still had to go through her.
Two days later, Julio claimed that there were still some unclear aspects of the handover. Since Noelle was on leave preparing for her wedding, he decided to take Oliver from her side.
Noelle didn’t object. After all, this was the company’s project, and if anything went wrong, she would be held accountable.
Oliver was soon reassigned.
A week later, when it was only two more days until Noelle and Dylan’s wedding, she received a call from Oliver in the middle of the night.
“Ms. Swanson, shit has gone down. I can’t get in touch with Mr. Garcia!”
Noelle was shocked and was now wide awake from her sleep. Her mind was still in a mess. “What?”
“Mr. Garcia is missing!” Oliver’s voice was urgent. “We haven’t been able to contact him since this afternoon. We’ve checked his home, and his family says they haven’t heard from him, either. And along with him, the company fund is missing. It’s about 50 million dollars!”
Noelle finally came to her senses. “What do you mean? Julie ran off with the money?”
“From what it looks like… yes.”
“Have you reported it to the police?”
“Not yet. We’re still not sure…”
“Whether you’re sure or not, if we can’t reach him and the money’s gone, you have to report it to the police. Immediately!” Noelle said without hesitation.
“Anyone in his position would have taken more than just the visible funds. Get in touch with the finance department and start asset and debt reconciliation right now!”
As she spoke, Noelle got up from the bed, putting on her coat as she walked out.
Although she had been staying in Coppersville recently, she hadn’t returned to the Swanson residence, instead opting to stay in a hotel. But tonight, she had no choice but to go back.
To her surprise, Craig hadn’t slept, either. The study and living room were both brightly lit.
When Noelle entered the room, she happened to see the documents Craig had thrown around on the floor. The sight made her heart skip a beat.
She slowly turned her gaze to the person in front of her.
Craig had been sitting there with his hand on his forehead, and only when he felt Noelle’s stare did he slowly lift his head.
Then, he said, “You’re back.”
Noelle didn’t reply.

“You found out?” Craig asked.
Noelle bit her lips. “The company… What’s the situation now?”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Sway and Slide of Love
Like how the story is progressing now but why is the author only releasing 3 chapters at a time? this is torture😩😩...
Woah chapters 41-45 is intense!! Good to see Noelle’s character who has come across as mostly detached actually express emotion....
I find Noelle’s character so frustrating, she comes across lacking any true emotion. The chapters where Rosie was missing was probably the most where we have seen some strong outward emotion shown. Dreading these next few chapters if she is going to do something drastic to “go find Seline” The author has taken us on a rollercoaster with these characters. The novel feels like it is at a stage now where they can come full circle....
A good change of pace and story in the last 10 chapters. Good to see the shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win over Noelle and Rosie. Hope we start to see them warm up to him. Please no crazy twist where he loses them again. Have enjoyed this story and looking forward to its wrap up👨👩👧...
A good change of pace in the last 10 chapters. Also nice to see a shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win Noelle and Rosie over. Hoping in these next few chapters we start to see Noelle and Rosie warm up to him. Please no crazy twist where he loses them again. Have enjoyed this story and looking forward to its wrap up 👨👩👧...
I have been in love with this novel but I don’t know how much patience I have to wait until the to finish line. Dear Author, can you atleast give us some idea about how long is this going to be or if there’s any turning point coming soon. And it would be great if you could upload at least 10 chapters at once. 5 chapters is making me more impatience with the anticipation of the further story of novel🙈...
I really hope there is a turning point in this story where Noelle starts to show some interest in Hendrix...
