The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 571

During this period, rumors about Dylan and Noelle had been circulating within their social circle. Dylan was the rising star in the business world, while Noelle was Hendrix's ex-wife. The fact that these two were together naturally attracted a lot of attention, even without any deliberate embellishment.

However, both of them had kept a low profile. In fact, it was rare for anyone in their social circle to spot them together, leading many to wonder if the rumors were even true.

That was, until now.

What made it even more noteworthy was that today was the day of Ophelia's memorial service, and yet, Dylan and Noelle actually showed up together. What were they trying to signal?

The atmosphere, which had never been particularly quiet to begin with, suddenly became lively.

All eyes turned to Hendrix, as if everyone was eager to rush up to him and scrutinize his expression closely.

Noelle, however, seemed oblivious to the gazes fixed on her. She simply lowered her head to pay her respect to Ophelia before walking up to Hendrix with Dylan in tow.
