Chapter 811

"At the time, Hendrix actually had no reason to target you and Mr. Swift," Noelle said.Marla froze for a moment. "W-what?""Isn't that true?" Noelle looked at her with genuine confusion in her eyes. "The only reason Hendrix dragged you and Mr. Swift into this was because you helped Dylan.""If you truly wanted me to live well, as you claim, you would never have let him take me away like that. That's why Hendrix came after you. And when you realized I was still alive, this was the outcome."Marla had no rebuttal."I already found out about what happened to Seline, and I'm grateful she saved Rosie. If possible, I'd gladly take her place in caring for you both. But ultimately, Rosie and I owe Seline, not you or Mr. Swift. In fact, the connection is faint at best."The moment you became Dylan's accomplice, whatever shred of obligation I owed toward you and Mr. Swift was paid in full. As for your current situation, I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do."Marla had arrived brimming

When Hendrix returned, Noelle was still engrossed in the files on her computer—so much so she didn't even notice he had come back."What are you looking at?" Hendrix whispered into her ear.Startled, she instinctively moved to block the screen before turning to ask, "How do you walk without making any sound?"Hendrix glanced at her computer screen. There was nothing scandalous—just some of her past work, things he had already seen.He had even bought all of her published works. For a while, anyone entering his office would spot, amid stacks of documents, a few brightly colored comic books on his desk.The covers featured intimate poses between a man and a woman. Normally, this wouldn't be noteworthy, but paired with Hendrix's image, the contrast was jarring.He knew what people whispered behind his back, but he simply ignored them.Now, with just one look at her screen, he could pinpoint exactly where the story had progressed. Oh, the male lead was about to kneel in the rain to

Noelle quickly added, "But don't worry. I'm not hurt or anything. It was just a slap."By the end of the sentence, she started to lose confidence, so her voice unconsciously dropped a few notches.Hendrix let out a cold laugh. "Just a slap? And you think that's not serious? What would qualify as serious to you? Beating you until you're paralyzed? This is our home. You expect me to just let it slide when someone barges in and hits you?"With each word, his anger seemed to escalate. He pressed his lips into a tight line before he abruptly turned to leave.Noelle quickly grabbed him. "What are you going to do?""Let go.""Don't act impulsively. You're scaring me like this."Her words made Hendrix freeze mid-step. As if afraid he'd still leave, Noelle clung tightly to his waist and looked up at him.Even though Hendrix didn't say anything, he did seem to be much calmer.After a pause, Noelle added, "Besides, I didn't take it lying down.""You hit her back?""Well, no. But I argu

Chapter 814

Marla returned to the hospital. She had intended to tell Dylan what happened at Roselle Court, but when she arrived at the ward, he was gone.She asked the nurse, but even the nurse didn't know. Thus, she called Dylan. The phone rang, but no one answered.Marla couldn't help but frown. She glanced at Marshall lying in the hospital bed. The emotions she had kept under control until now surged as she took in his sleeping face and graying temples. Tears began to fall uncontrollably."Honey, what should we do now?" she asked.Of course, Marshall couldn't answer.Marla's eyes reddened further. She covered her face with her hands as tears dripped down one by one.Just then, her phone rang. Seeing the number, she quickly wiped her face and composed herself before answering."Hello?""Bad news, Mrs. Swift." The voice on the other end was frantic. "Mr. Stein has run off with the company's funds."Marla listened, but she gave no reaction or reply.The caller waited anxiously for her re

Chapter 815

Dylan was like deadly poison to the Swifts. He had deliberately lured Marla away at that time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let him go so easily.After all, Marshall was already in a coma. So, all she could do was cling tightly to Dylan and refuse to let go.But…Marla opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, yet words failed her completely at this moment.Then, a sharp alarm blared from the machine beside the bed.She immediately whipped around. She wasn't the only one who heard it. The doctors outside did, too. They rushed in instantly and pushed her aside as they began emergency resuscitation.Marla stood frozen, phone still in hand, staring blankly at Marshall on the bed. He had an oxygen mask over his face.Just days ago, he had smiled and told her that once he was free of his responsibilities, he would take her traveling around the world. He knew she had never truly moved on, so he wanted to help her in this way.All these years, no matter how willful she had

"Marshall has passed away."When Hendrix told Noelle this, she froze for a brief moment.Then, she looked at him with confusion, as if seriously trying to recall who he was talking about."He's Seline's father," Hendrix informed her.At these words, Noelle's eyes widened slightly.Only after a while did she ask in disbelief, "How? Didn't you say—""The hospital said he suffered a sudden heart attack while he was in a coma. The doctors actually responded very quickly, and his condition wasn't even critical. They think he didn't make it because maybe, deep down, he didn't want to live anymore."Hendrix's voice was very calm, yet the words still sent a jolt through Noelle.It took her a while before she found her voice again. "What about Dylan? Has he been found?"Hendrix shook his head. "The police are already preparing to issue a warrant for his arrest. Under this circumstance, it's even more unlikely he'll show himself.""Then, what about Mrs. Swift?" Noelle asked with a frow

"Seeing Mr. Swift off is just something I need to do for my own peace of mind."Noelle's voice was slow and soft, like a whisper drifting by Hendrix's ear.He lowered his eyes, watching her for a moment before finally relenting. "Fine. I'll go with you."But even Hendrix hadn't expected that the funeral wouldn't go as planned. Or rather, it never even began.Because when everyone arrived at the funeral home, they discovered the host family was absent. There was only one person left in the Swift family now—Marla. But even by noon, she hadn't shown up.Eventually, someone came forward with the news that the funeral had been canceled, as the only remaining family member had been taken to the hospital and could no longer preside over it.The arrangements would be fully handled by the funeral home, and everything would be kept simple.Noelle was among the crowd at the time. At first, she thought Marla had fallen ill from grief. But a few days later, she learned the truth—Marla had be

Chapter 818

After Erwin hung up the phone and returned, he found that Hendrix had already opened the door. Not only that, but he was also in the process of contacting the captain to prepare a speedboat for him."Where are you going?" Erwin asked."Home.""This is a victory party. Everyone's here, and you're leaving early?"Hendrix glanced at the people on the yacht. They had drunk quite a bit by now and were getting a little wild. This scene wasn't unfamiliar to Hendrix.But whereas he could at least tolerate it as a bystander before, now, he couldn't even stand to stay a minute longer."It's enough that you're here," he answered Erwin curtly."How is that the same?" Erwin blocked his way, refusing to let him leave. "We barely get together like this. Everyone even moved the party here to accommodate you. What more do you want?""I'll cover the expenses.""That won't do, either. Do you think I'm desperate for that little bit of money?" Erwin rejected without hesitation.Hendrix ignored hi

If it had been any other time, Erwin might have thought that Hendrix was simply being stubborn. But at that moment, Hendrix's gaze was deadly serious. There wasn't even a hint of evasion.Erwin stared at him for a while before chuckling coldly. "You're that confident, huh? But she's just a delicate woman.""It has nothing to do with whether she's delicate or not. All I know is she will come.""And what if she doesn't?""I will transfer all my shares to you."Hendrix's response stunned Erwin once again.His lips parted slightly, but it took him a moment to find his voice. "Are you serious?""Of course."Erwin studied him for a beat before suddenly laughing. "You're not just using this as an excuse to leave, are you?""Didn't you say it was a bet?" Hendrix countered. "If I win, what will you give me?"Erwin hadn't expected him to ask that. But honestly, this bet seemed like a guaranteed win for him.He knew why Hendrix liked Noelle. After all, men tend to like demure and beaut

Chapter 820

It was the dead of winter. The howling sea winds tangled Noelle's hair, her slender figure appearing even more fragile against the night's desolation. Frowning, she studied the figure before her with wariness and unfamiliarity. Erwin had originally planned to have someone put on an act for Noelle—just as he had told Hendrix earlier—to test her. But Hendrix had outright rejected the idea."I know she would risk everything for me, but I don't want her to. And I especially don't want her to later find out it was just a farce. What we have doesn't need to be proven like this."Hendrix had spoken with absolute certainty, yet that only made Erwin want to punch him more. He knew that the real reason Hendrix said that was to show off. Because the crux of his words lay in that first line—he knew Noelle would risk everything for him.So, where did this unshakeable confidence and boldness come from?Only seeing Noelle in front of him now did Erwin realize Hendrix's confidence wasn't due to
