Chapter 290
Noelle’s expression changed as she heard Hendrix’s words, and she turned to look at him.
Her expression made Hendrix feel like something was stabbing into his heart. It seemed like he was right.
That contractual relationship seemed more than that now. Noelle had fallen for Dylan. If not, what could explain the look in her eyes now?
Noelle didn’t even react this way when he brought up her and Elm Group.
The dull pain quickly spread across Hendrix’s chest, accompanied by a familiar metallic taste. His Adam’s apple bobbed a few times, and after taking several deep breaths, be finally managed to suppress the feeling and said, “It seems like you really care about him.”
“Hendrix, this is between us. Can you stop being so despicable and dragging innocent people into this mess?”
“Innocent?” Hendrix chuckled. “It seems like you really don’t know much about your fiancé. Do you know what he’s been doing behind your back?”
Before Noelle could respond, Hendrix handed her a file. “Take a look.”
Noelle glanced down at it but didn’t make a move.
Hendrix smiled. “If you don’t want to look, that’s fine. I’ve already organized it. I’ll just pass it on to the prosecutor’s office. But I wonder. If Dylan finds out you could have stopped it but didn’t, would he be angry at you?
Noelle finally opened the file. When she saw the transaction records, photos, and chat logs on the paper, her face grew even paler. She suddenly looked at Hendrix. “What is this?”
“What’s the matter? You don’t understand?” Hendrix smiled slightly.
“Let me explain it to you. Simply put, Mr. York, the painter you’ve always admired, has had his paintings circulated in unusual ways in the market, even abroad. The transactions here are evidence, and your ‘innocent‘ fiancé has been playing the role of the middleman in all of this.
“Their business isn’t just domestic. As you can see, there are accounts abroad as well. This means that he and his grandfather have been helping certain people move assets and launder money…”
“Enough!” Noelle interrupted him. Her voice was trembling, and her face was as pale as a ghost.
Hendrix didn’t continue speaking but narrowed his eyes, watching her.
“How do I know what you’re saying is true?”
“You don’t have to believe me,” Hendrix replied with a faint smile. “After all, verifying these things isn’t your job. Professional matters should be left to professionals, right?
Noelle fell silent.
Hendrix leaned back, his eyes fixed on her reaction.
“If it’s true, what are you planning to do? Are you really going to report Dylan?”

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👨👩👧...

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...
