The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 748

"Isn't there a hospital nearby?" Hendrix asked, his impatience creeping into his voice. "A DNA test would settle this, wouldn't it?"

"Yes, that's right." Jerry finally remembered this option and immediately arranged for someone to take them to the hospital.

But Sid wasn't having it. "No way! You're all in on this! Don't think I don't see what's going on—you're just sucking up to this guy because he's rich. And when the results come back, you'll make sure they say whatever he wants!"

"Mr. Hodge, please watch what you're saying." Jerry's expression darkened. "Do you even realize where you are and what you're saying?"

"I—whatever! You're all in this together. We're leaving right now!"

With that, Sid grabbed Noelle's hand and was about to pull her away when Hendrix stood up.

"Let go of her hand," he said icily.

"This has nothing to do with you! I'm telling you. They might suck up to you, but I'm not afraid of you! You can—"

"Mr. Hodge, if you insist on leaving now, we can charge you with suspected human trafficking," Jerry walked over and interjected.

Sid's eyes widened in shock.

Just then, Noelle clutched his sleeve and said in a trembling voice, "I want to go home."

Noelle, who had been panicking, immediately brightened when she saw the newcomer. Then, she rushed forward without hesitation. "Mom!"

Irene Howell quickly shielded her, then glared at Sid. "Sid, what's going on here?"

Sid breathed a sigh of relief. Then, as he walked over, he said, "Mrs. Wallace, I'm so glad you're here! As you know, Nelly and I were supposed to register our marriage today. But now they're insisting there's an issue with her identity. And this guy is even claiming she's his wife!"

"Nonsense!" Irene spat on the ground, not caring that they were in a police station. "Are you all crazy? My daughter is a perfectly respectable young woman, so how dare you slander her like this?

"And what do you mean there's an issue with her identity? She is my daughter—no one gets to question that!"
