Dylan's chest heaved violently as he waited for those numbers to rebound. After all, that was how it had been for the past few days. But this time, they did no such thing.
Soon, the trading session ended, and the stock market closed.
Dylan clenched his teeth, then immediately stood up and called Caleb.
He hadn't originally planned to enter the market. At first, it was just to humor Caleb. But he quickly realized that Caleb wasn't just boasting.
Later, he learned that Caleb was actually a partner in a certain fund over there. Compared to the steady, long-term projects in the country, the thrill of watching those numbers fluctuate was completely different.
The feeling of effortlessly climbing to the top of the pyramid was simply too addictive.
Caleb soon handed him a second proposal—one share, one billion dollars. For ordinary people, this amount might not be achievable even over several generations. But for Dylan at this moment, it was nothing.
More importantly, Dylan knew that Hendrix also had a partner over there. The fund Caleb was part of happened to be a direct competitor to Hendrix's. This suited Dylan perfectly. Not only did he want to surpass Hendrix in Coppersville but also in the stock market.
The next step was to make Hendrix lose everything! Dylan had already planned it all out. He had even thought about what he would do at the victory celebration.
But now? Everything was completely wiped away right in front of Dylan, leaving nothing behind.
Caleb didn't answer the phone. When he heard the cold, automated voice, he felt his heart sink bit by bit. But he still refused to believe it. How was this possible? Had he been scammed? No, that couldn't be.

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...
