Chapter 91
+25 BONUS
Sandra had a whole plan, and she even prepared a dance to further her personal agenda tonight. However, all of it went down the drain, and it was all because of Noelle.
Noelle wore a mask, and her appearance was completely different from her usual getup. However, Sandra recognized her at first glance.
At that moment, Sandra had the strong urge to make a dash at Noelle and tear off the latter’s mask or just give her a hard shove. However, she did nothing of the sort. After all, she would’ve destroyed the image she had painstakingly maintained all these years.
Sandra remained where she stood. She nearly ground her teeth to dust with how much gnashing she was doing. But aside from that, there was nothing else she could’ve done.
This moment suddenly took Sandra back to when she was 14 years old. It was the time when she heard that Noelle would rejoin the Swanson family.
For the last ten years, Sandra had reveled in all the attention and affection’she received in the Swanson family. She thought that was how life was going to go for the rest of time.
Then, Noelle came back, and she was Craig and Matilda’s biological daughter. Sandra was supposed to return everything she owned to Noelle. It was going to happen. The Swansons might even kick her out.
Naturally, Sandra wasn’t about to let all of that happen. So, she started treating Craig and Matilda better. She could also see the rift between Noelle and her parents. So, she clung to it tightly and did her best to drive a bigger wedge between them.
Sandra deliberately showed Noelle how intimate she was with Craig and Matilda. She also made herself look more thoughtful and affectionate in front of her parents.
Sandra had spent ten years together with Craig and Matilda. So, she knew them and their habits better than Noelle did. In the high society, the people their age were all her friends. She had completely replaced Noelle as the heiress of the Swanson family.
Be that as it may,
may, Beatrice straight up said that Hendrix would only get married to someone who carried the blood of the Swanson family when they talked about the arranged marriage.
That was when Sandra felt utterly powerless. It seemed like there was nothing she could do to change this fact, no matter how hard she tried.
The same feeling rose in her chest now. It was effortless and graceful for Noelle to grab the limelight and snatch away everything she ever wanted.
That was when Sandra realized that the things she managed to take away from Noelle were actually something the latter didn’t care about in the first place. However, she could never get anything she truly wanted.
Sandra glared at Noelle, and her gaze became increasingly hateful. She was boring holes in Noelle with her eyes.
With that said, Noelle didn’t seem to sense any of it. On the contrary, she was having a blast tonight. She was wearing a mask, which granted her peace of mind.
Ever since Noelle was caught in that particularly terrifying gaze when she was 12 years old, she had been hiding her body very carefully. But now, she didn’t need to worry about that.
After the dance ended, Brandon invited Noelle to another. This time, she didn’t turn him down. By now, the band was already playing another song. It was clearly more upbeat, and it had livened up the scene.

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. Hoping in these next few chapters we start to see Noelle and Rosie 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...
