Chapter 300
The caregiver clearly hadn’t encountered anything like this before. What made it worse was that Craig had only just woken up–not long ago, he’d been at death’s door.
Everyone knew he couldn’t afford to get too worked up. But seeing his furious state now, the caregiver didn’t even dare to calm him down.
However, Noelle remained calm. After enduring the burning pain on her lower leg, she continued walking toward him.
Craig clearly hadn’t expected her to shamelessly approach despite everything. He grabbed the cup in his hand, ready to throw it at her again. But before he could, Noelle firmly pressed his hand down. Then, she turned to the caregiver and said, “Leave us for now.”
The caregiver, already feeling out of place, let out a sigh of relief at Noelle’s words and promptly left the room.
Noelle turned to look at Craig. “So, I take it you’ve heard about the situation at the company?
“What do you think? I knew it! I just knew it! What kind of person is Hendrix? The moment he handed the Continental Reach project to you, it was all a setup! Was this something the two of you planned together? Just to bring the company to this day”
“Elm Group’s downfall isn’t because of the Continental Reach project,” Noelle interrupted, her voice calm and steady. “The ones you should be blaming are Julio Garcia and yourself.”
Hearing this, Craig became momentarily stunned.
“What did you just say?” His voice dropped, and he began to form a rebuttal, but Noelle didn’t give him a chance,
“Isn’t it true? If Julio hadn’t embezzled such a huge amount of money and broken the entire funding chain, would Elm Group be in this position today? And you your blind trust in him makes you just as responsible. Look at the mess now–shareholder rights in shambles, bad debts piling up.
“Isn’t all of this the result of your years of negligence? While you were busy ingratiating yourself with others and offering me as a bargaining chip to secure benefits, did you ever stop to think that you would end up like this one day?” Noelle delivered her words in one unbroken breath.
Craig was dumbfounded, but he quickly burst into laughter
“So, you’ve finally found your chance, haven’t you? How long have you been holding these words in? How I run my company is none of your business! And as for Julio, do you really not know why he suddenly ran off with the money?
“If it weren’t for Hendrix setting him up, taking him to those parties, and introducing him to those fund players, would he have fallen in with them? This whole thing was Hendrix’s plan from the very start!”
This part, Noelle hadn’t known, but she wasn’t surprised in the slightest.
Julio had been with the company for many years, and even curing his time as the general manager in Vinton City, he’d never caused any major issues. For him to suddenly create such a massive problem, something significant must have changed in his personal life.
The mention of fund players likely referred to the group from Mondivera’s Haven Street. Back when Noelle and Hedrix were still married, she had been aware of his connections with those people.
She had never pried into it, though. While that crowd was kown for their wild lifestyles, Hendrix had always been rational and measured in his dealings with them. So at the time, she hadn’t felt any need to worry.

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.

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...
