The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 809

"But didn't Noelle lose her memories?" Marla asked.

"Who knows if she's truly forgotten or just pretending? But that doesn't matter because even if she has, the fact remains that Seline died saving Rosie, no?"

"That's true."

"Yet, she's now working with Hendrix to take you and Mr. Swift down. Don't you think it's wrong of her to do that?"

Marla didn't respond.

"So, will you talk to her?" Dylan pressed.

Marla frowned at him.

"It's chaotic outside now. The shareholders are screaming for Mr. Swift to take responsibility, but how could you bear to drag him into this mess when he's still lying unconscious?"

His words snapped Marla out of her daze. "You're right."

"Don't worry. I'll take care of Mr. Swift. Right now, the priority is stopping Hendrix as soon as possible."

Marla glanced at Dylan, then at the man lying in bed—Marshall still hadn't woken up.

The doctor said Marshall was out of danger, but no one could say when he would regain consciousness. Honestly speaking, Marla didn't want to leave. But Dylan wasn't wrong—stopping Hendrix now was the most urgent matter.

There was no way to compete with him in the business world anymore. The only option left was exactly as Dylan said—to go through Noelle and ask her to persuade him.

There was another thing Dylan was right about—Seline was already dead, yet Noelle was letting Hendrix target the Swifts like this? What else could that be if not a betrayal?

She continued through gritted teeth, "I know there's no raising her from the dead, but is this how you treat us after everything she's done for you?"

Marla was all worked up.

Noelle stood quietly, meeting her gaze for a long moment before saying, "I'm sorry, but I don't involve myself in business matters."

"That's your excuse?" Marla let out a cold laugh. "So, you're saying it doesn't matter what Hendrix does to us? Whether we live or die means nothing to you?"

"I've already asked him before, and he said no one would die over—"

Before she could finish, Marla slapped her across the face. It all happened so fast that Noelle didn't even have time to dodge.

"Bitch!" Marla spat.
