After taking another sip of wine, Hendrix turned to Marshall. "Mr. Swift, you didn't invite us here today just to exchange pleasantries, did you?"
His words made Marshall pause. He then slowly pressed his lips together.
"I'm well aware of Amity Group's current situation," Hendrix continued. "We all know survival of the fittest is the law in the world of business. But have you ever considered whether your business partners are truly reliable?"
Dylan's expression darkened instantly. But then, he quickly scoffed and said, "Mr. Freeman, are you trying to drive a wedge between me and Mr. Swift?"
"Drive a wedge?" Hendrix's smile deepened. "You flatter yourself too much. After everything you've done, do I really need to do that?"
Dylan clenched his fists.
Just as he was about to retort, Hendrix shifted his attention back to Marshall. "Mr. Swift, you must be confused at what I'm talking about right now, but tomorrow's headlines will make it clear. The Amity Group shares you've acquired aren't as valuable as you thought.
"Two months ago, I began transferring part of Amity Group's industrial operations. After all, you know how it is—when a company's been around too long, certain veterans start seeing themselves as irreplaceable, all while collecting a paycheck for doing nothing and leeching off the company.
"Naturally, I can't allow them to drag an empire like Amity Group down. So, I've registered a new company and shifted the core operations there."
After a pause, he smiled and continued, "But not all of them, of course. The leftovers… Well, I'll leave those for you and Mr. Pritchett to manage."
His explanation was concise, but the weight behind those words couldn't be conveyed in just a few sentences.
Not bothering to waste his breath on Marshall, Hendrix simply tossed a document onto the table in front of him.
"See for yourself. The person you trust completely has long sensed something was off. Recently, he's already started cashing in his shares.
"Even Dyno Corporation, the company you personally helped build, has already been gutted from the inside. Oh, and he's already booked a one-way ticket to flee to Novaterra."
After Hendrix finished speaking, Marshall stood frozen in place. He didn't even have the strength to pick up the document. He simply stared at Dylan in disbelief while trembling violently.
"Hendrix Freeman!" Dylan shot up to his feet and rushed forward to grab Hendrix's collar. But the latter's reflexes were lightning-fast—he lifted his leg and kicked Dylan in the abdomen.

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...
