Charles just smiled a little, not looking convinced."Mr. Shaw, you probably know the situation better than I do. If City Ring Corp. can really do it, I wouldn't say no," Charles said, tapping the table. "Let's talk business. I hope you understand!"Julian felt too embarrassed to reply after being talked down to by someone younger. However, Jade could not stay quiet. "Noelle's still part of my Shaw family, and you're her husband and our son-in-law. What's wrong with helping your father-in-law?"Charles's face turned stormy. It was obvious that Jade had really made him mad."Mrs. Shaw, are you trying to make a deal with me or are you trying to sell your daughter out? If you want a deal, I might consider talking to you. But remember, you only get one shot. If you blow it, the Shaw family won't get another chance, and that includes your daughter!""Are you threatening me?" Jade's hands balled into fists. "You act like you care about Noelle, but you won't even spend a dime for her sak

"And what do you propose we do?" Samuel asked sharply. "Don't think I'm unaware of your little schemes. I've told you, Noelle is my girl, so you’d better not be plotting anything against her, understood?""But Dad, you can't just say that. Noelle's name is still under our family in the registry. As long as we don't agree, Harrison or the Smith family can't just snatch her away no matter how strong they are, right? We've taken care of her all this time, and we deserve some credit for that!" Jade could not hold back. "Look at the Smiths and the Hoffmans. They're loaded, and we...""Are you really concerned about Noelle, or is it just about what you stand to gain?" Samuel challenged. "I'm not the type to profit from my granddaughter. This matter is not up for debate. I called you here to ask you to hand over the family registry book."Jade could not believe her ears. "Dad, are you out of your mind? You're really going to let Noelle change her last name without getting anything for it?

"Do you still doubt my capabilities, Mr. Shaw?" Charles asked with a cold laugh. "If I was able to marry Nelly without your knowledge, I can certainly manage without your household registry."With a composed demeanor, he tugged the blanket over Noelle, ensuring she was snugly covered. Only then did he rise and step onto the balcony as his gaze drifted to the scene below.Maxwell was seated with Harrison, engaged in a game of chess. Harrison had arrived early, likely for the sole purpose of discussing the name change.Harrison noticed Charles on the balcony and gave him a nod, acknowledging his presence. Charles inclined his head slightly in return before redirecting his focus.Tapping the balcony railing with his fingers, he said, "I won't keep chatting with you now, Mr. Shaw.""Hey, wait—" Julian tried to respond, but Charles efficiently ended the call without another word."What's going on?" Jade asked as she approached, noticing Julian's sour expression. "Did Noelle give you a

Noelle was carried downstairs by Charles, much to her protest. She insisted on walking down herself, but Charles simply refused.Covering her face with a hand, she could not help but mutter to herself, feeling as though she was being treated like an invalid. Charles sighed and gave Noelle's hand a gentle tug. "Alright, I'll let you down in a bit."Harrison and Maxwell happened to walk in from the yard, just in time to see the two of them bickering.Harrison's face lit up with amusement. "Noelle!"The smile on Noelle's face froze for a moment, but she quickly forced it back, curving her lips slightly. "You're here?"Although she did not call him "Dad", the gesture was already a significant step forward for Harrison. He nodded, smiling warmly. "I came to check on you and discuss the household registry with Charlie."Noelle's expression stiffened. "Is it really necessary to change it?"She glanced hesitantly between Harrison and Charles."It's not mandatory," Harrison said quickly

Winter ended the call with a cold snort.Standing nearby, Suzy glanced at Winter, whose face was twisted in malice. Suzy pressed her lips together before asking, "Did you just say Noelle was…"Winter sneered, "Yeah, you want to see? I still have the photos!"Suzy's expression darkened at Winter's words. Winter might choose to self-destruct, but that did not mean Suzy was willing to join her.Especially after learning more about Winter's schemes, Suzy could not help but be amazed at how well Winter had kept up her facade all these years. If not for recent events exposing Winter's true nature, Suzy might never have known how deeply Winter had plotted against Noelle."No, I don't need to see them," Suzy said, shaking her head. "But are you really going to meet Noelle? Are you sure she'll hand over the shares? I doubt it. Those City Ring Corp. shares are no small matter.""Hmph, she wouldn't dare refuse me. If she does, I'll release these photos and ruin her completely!" Winter gritt
