"What brings you here, Ms. Fisher?" Hendrix asked, cutting through the small talk.
Jean knew she wasn't in a position to exchange pleasantries with him. Thus, she didn't beat around the bush. "Mr. Freeman, as you know, all of my family's assets have been confiscated, and my parents are no longer in this world.
"So, it makes no difference whether I'm in or out of prison. I have no one in this city and no place to turn to. I can't even support myself. But I heard you've been dealing with something troublesome lately—so I came to ask. If I can help you solve it, would you be willing to pay me?"
Hendrix slowly narrowed his eyes and chuckled softly. "Continue."
"I know why you've been putting so much pressure on Dylan. It's all because of Noelle, isn't it? But what you probably don't realize is that Dylan doesn't care as much about power and status as you think.
"Yet, ironically, that's the only leverage you have over him right now. But honestly, breaking him and Noelle apart doesn't have to be this complicated."
Hendrix fell silent.
"If you give me a chance, I promise I can destroy their relationship. Once that happens, Noelle will naturally return to you. What do you think?"
Jean laid out her intention simply. It was as if she were presenting a simple either-or choice.
Hendrix couldn't help but laugh. "What do you mean? What are you planning to do?"
"What I do is none of your concern. You just need to tell me if you'll agree to my terms. I'm not asking for much—just 50 million dollars. I know how much you're worth. To you, that amount is just a drop in the ocean, but it could get you the woman you love. So, isn't this a deal we're making?"

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...
