Chapter 221

Samuel sounded startled again as he asked, “Royal Star Entertainment?” Samuel was not in the entertainment industry, but he had heard of Charles’ name. Charles was involved in plenty of industries, so he was not unfamiliar with Royal Star Entertainment. However, he had never imagined Charles would go to this extent for Noelle. Finally, Samuel felt the stress that had been weighing him down recently lifting off his shoulders. He patted Noelle’s hand as he smiled in relief. “Alright, my dear child. I always knew you’d be able to find someone who treated you much better than that detestable man before.” “I did, Grandpa. He’s really good to me,” Noelle said as she smiled shyly. “Grandpa, once you’re all better, shall I arrange a meeting so you guys can get to know each other officially?” “Of course!” Samuel was delighted to hear his granddaughter willingly offering to introduce his grandson-in-law to him. He suddenly felt like there was nothing wrong with his health anymore, and he

Chapter 222

Noelle continued talking to Samuel, but he soon fell asleep because of his frail health. She pulled a blanket over him and gazed at him for a while before taking her purse and leaving the room. Both Julian and Jade were still outside when she left the room. Upon seeing her, Jade hurried over and asked, “What did your grandfather tell you? Did you talk to him about the shares?” Jade grabbed Noelle by the arm and shook it violently. “Come on! Say something. Has he agreed to transfer ownership of the stocks to your sister?” “Let me go!” If Noelle had harbored any hope for Jade to eventually start treating her better, she could admit now that she had been a blind fool. Jade’s intentions were obvious. She could not care less about Noelle or about Grandpa’s health. All she wanted was the shares. “Grandpa is still unwell, yet all you care about are those shares and not his health.” Noelle gritted her teeth. “I’ve already told you that I won’t help you with that. It’s up to Grandpa h

Chapter 223

Noelle began laughing all of a sudden. She gazed coldly at Jade as she said, “You guys should just give up. I’ll never let you guys have ownership over these shares!” “Does that mean you really do own them now?” Winter caught the point Noelle was trying to make, and a sinister look settled across her features as her hatred intensified. She had not expected that old geezer to actually give Noelle, that b*tch, ownership over those shares. How could that be allowed? If Noelle owned shares in City Ring Corp., it would mean she had a voice within the organization. If that were the case, Noelle would take away everything that rightfully belonged to her.Winter glanced at Xavier, who had remained silent all this while, as she gritted her teeth and curled her hands into fists. However, she soon drew in a deep breath and smiled as she turned to Noelle and said, “Noelle, I don’t think you have much use for those shares anyway, right? How about I buy them from you? What do you think?”

Chapter 224

Noelle gritted her teeth and glanced at the arm Julian was gripping before she looked up. "What do you think, Dad?” “Did you really give them to Joshua? Have you gone mad? Your grandfather adopted him as a child, and he’s not even an actual Shaw! How could you transfer ownership of those shares to an outsider? Do you know just how many shares your grandfather owns? If you’ve really given them to Joshua, City Ring Corp. will have to undergo an entire structural change!” “I don’t think it’s that serious!” Noelle chuckled, placing a hand on Julian’s before shoving it away with great force. “Uncle Joshua has lived with Grandpa for many years, and Grandpa is genuinely fond of him. He’s long treated Uncle Joshua like a member of the Shaw family! Dad, are you denying that he’s part of the family when not even Grandpa is doing that?” “What do you know? At the end of the day, he’s not related to the family by blood. Your grandfather might be nice to him, but who knows what’s actually goin

Chapter 225

“Noelle, wait!” Noelle was already at the hospital’s main entrance when Xavier’s voice rang out from behind her. She paused and watched as he made his way toward her. Xavier hurried over to stand before Noelle. He smiled at her. "Noelle, was everything you said true?” Noelle narrowed her eyes and gave Xavier a wary look. “What are you referring to?” Based on the look in Xavier’s eyes, she had already figured out what he was talking about. Sure enough, he asked, “Did Grandpa Shaw really give those shares to you? You were lying when you said you’d given ownership of them to someone else, weren’t you?” Noelle’s eyes remained narrowed as she burst into laughter. “Do you think I was lying or telling the truth?” She chose to answer his question with another question, and that visibly stunned Xavier. He frowned, seemingly displeased by her attitude. “I asked you first.” Noelle pursed her lips, a sudden wave of annoyance toward Xavier washing over her. She wondered how she had such

Chapter 226

Noelle turned away without hesitating and drove off. She had never imagined Xavier would go this far and pull such disgusting moves. How dare he come buttering her up now that he knew she was a shareholder of City Ring Corp? Did he really think she was an idiot he could summon as he pleased?She had not reached the point where she had that little self-respect!Winter stood in a corner and watched the exchange between Xavier and Noelle. Her hands were gripping the wall tightly as she gritted her teeth and glared at Noelle until she finally left. For a moment, Winter wished to herself that the wall in her grasp was actually Noelle so that she could strangle her to death. Why? Why were both her paternal and maternal grandfathers so nice to that bitch? Her paternal grandfather had even transferred ownership of his shares to Noelle! As for Xavier… Well, she had always known he had only gotten together with her because he had his eyes set on the shares she owned. However, she did

Chapter 227

What did Noelle have that would make them equals? She was nothing more than a mere employee at Frotconn. “Oh, that’s right, Xavier,” Winter said as she chewed on her lip. “Given how tense my relationship with Noelle is, do you think it’ll bring any harm to Frotconn if she continues working there?” An odd look appeared on Xavier’s face. He had not even considered this problem. However, it seemed tough to have Noelle fired from Frotconn when she had not done anything wrong. “What are you thinking about, Xavier?” Winter asked as she shook Xavier’s shoulder lightly. “Do you think I’m being too harsh on Noelle?” “No, don’t overthink things!” Xavier began thinking about what Winter had just brought up. An ugly look settled across his features when he realized Frotconn seemed to be experiencing a decline in orders recently. “You’re right. I must discuss this with my father. Given how much Noelle hates me, I don’t think it would be good for Frotconn if she continues working there!”

Chapter 228

Noelle saw Charles standing in front of the closet with a look that signaled he was deep in thought. She bit down on her lip as she walked over hesitantly. “I… I was thinking that since we’ve… So, I decided to bring your clothes over. Are you mad?” Noelle snuck a careful look at Charles’ face, observing the changes in his expression. She was worried Charles might get mad at what she had done. Charles grinned, a warm and fuzzy feeling washing over him as he gazed at Noelle. He reached out to ruffle her hair before he pulled her into his arms. “Silly girl, why would I be mad? I’m absolutely delighted!”He had not expected her to have that sort of self-awareness and had never imagined she would be this proactive. How could he get mad at that?Upon hearing what Charles said, Noelle relaxed and rested her head against his chest. “Why are you back home this early today?” “I missed you!” His low voice rang out as he reached up to ruffle Noelle’s soft hair. There was a sparkle in the d

Chapter 229

“What do you plan on doing?” Charles asked, a slight frown creeping across his face. “Do you need my help?” “Not yet,” Noelle said as she shook her head. She did not want to sit back and do nothing while Charles took care of everything for her. “I’ve already told them that I won’t pose a threat to them as long as they don’t do anything funny with the shares they now hold. If they try getting up to any funny business, I’ll use the power I hold from the shares I currently own to assert dominance over them!” Charles pursed his lips together as Noelle gazed at him nervously. “What’s wrong? Have I said something wrong?” “No, no. You’re doing things right.” He just did not want Noelle to get involved so soon. The Shaw family did not pose a massive threat, but at the end of the day, they were Noelle’s parents, and he wanted to delay the ruthless treatment for as long as possible. “But the shares you own now aren’t enough for you to assert dominance over them yet. It'll merely allo

Chapter 230

Noelle nestled herself against Charles’ back as if she were a kitten. “I’ll take good care of you, and I’ll always be on your side!” Charles grinned. There was a warm and loving look in the depths of his eyes that Noelle could not see. “Alright. I’ll always be on your side too. But, Mrs. Hoffman, I don’t think I’ll be able to finish washing these dishes by tonight if you continue hugging me!” Charles said teasingly with a grin on his face. Noelle immediately let go of him and jumped away from him upon hearing that. She maintained a distance between them. A blush crept across her face as she said, “Alright, go ahead and clean up, then. I’ll go watch some TV!” Noelle hurried into the living room. Charles grinned when he turned and saw her escaping the kitchen. Noelle’s heart was racing. It was her first time making the first move, and she was still in disbelief. After all, she had never been the one to make the first move in the years she and Charles had known each other.As f
