The sway and slide of love novel

Chapter 156 Noelle .

Noelle paused mid stride when she heard a crisp voice calling out from behind her .

But then , she quickly pretended she hadnt heard anything and continued on her way .

Seeing this , Sandra rushed up and grabbed Noelles hand just as she was about to get into the elevator .

Noelle , why are you ignoring me ? Is this where you live now ? Why do you put yourself through all this suffering ? If you need- Let go , Noelle ordered , her face devoid of any emotion .

Standing there , Sandra locked eyes with Noelle for a second before breaking out into a smile .

Noelle, dont be like this .

Do you know what the situation at home is right now ? Mom has fallen ill , and things in the company arent that great , either .

Its all because- Werent you the one who set all of this up ? asked Noelle , cutting in mid sentence .

L Sandra wanted to defend herself , but Noelle continued to say , Do you remember the talk we had in the car that night ? Well , I had secretly recorded everything you said .

W What ? uttered Sandra , stunned .

Even though the Swansons dont care whether I live or die how do you think theyll react when they find out the daughter theyve nurtured so carefully for years turned out to be this evil ? Sandras face grew even paler .

Her lips trembled , as if trying to form words , but after a long silence , she still couldnt find her voice .

Noelle , however , had no interest in her struggles .

Are you letting go or not ? she asked impatiently .

Sandra snapped back to her senses and blurted out , Youre lying , arent you , Noelle ? Because if you really did have those recordings , you would have used them already .

Youre just trying to trick me ! I didnt play it for the Swansons because I couldnt be bothered to stoop to your level .

But if you keep pestering me , dont expect me to show mercy .

Those words drained all the color from Sandras face .

Her grip on Noelles hand gradually loosened until she finally let go .

Just as Noelle turned to leave , Sandra suddenly said , But its true that Mom is sick , and its serious .

The doctor said she might have less than six months to live .

Are you really not going to see her ? Six months ? Noelle turned to look at her .

What nonsense are you spouting ? Sandra smirked .

So , you really dont know , huh ? Figures .

Moms always been so strong willed , so shed never let you know .

But regardless , shes still the woman who gave birth to you .

Can you really live with yourself if you dont visit her ? Noelle didnt respond , but her hands hanging by her side slowly balled into fists .

Shes at the hospital right now , Sandra added softly .

You should spare some time to visit her .

Im sure shed be happy to see you .

With that , Sandra turned around and walked away .

But she didnt go far .

After leaving the apartment building where Noelle lived , she returned to the taxi shed been using and stared silently out the window .

Miss , are we leaving or not ? asked the driver impatiently Shut up ! Sandra snapped , her irritation spilling over .

Before the driver could say another word , she tossed two bills into the front seat .

The driver pocketed the cash without a word , his earlier annoyance vanishing instantly .

Sandra continued to fix her gaze on the scenery outside the window .

It was nearly 8:00 pm by now .

After spending over an hour waiting by the roadside , the tension coiled tightly in her chest began to ease bit by bit .

She had been right all along Yvonne was just spouting nonsense .
