The Cherished Wife

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 how he wants to allocate ownership of those shares, and neither of us has the right to interfere!”

“You b*tch!” Jade blustered. “How dare you speak to me that way! I am your mother!”

“Now you remember that you’re my mother?” Noelle scoffed at how ridiculous Jade was being. “I’m afraid it seems that you’ve never thought of me as your daughter! The same applies to you, Dad!”

“Noelle, how could you speak to Mom and Dad like this?” Winter asked disapprovingly. She walked over and tried to take Noelle’s hand, but Noelle managed to dodge it. Winter met Noelle’s eyes sheepishly. She had a few tricks that she used over and over again, but they were always effective.

The pitiful look on Winter’s face immediately made Julian and Jade’s hearts melt, and they both gave Noelle criticizing looks.

Julian was extremely displeased with the way Noelle had spoken to him. Was the gentle and docile demeanor she displayed in the past just an act? Were her true colors coming to light now that she had gained ownership of Sir Shaw’s shares?

“Noelle, what did your grandfather say to you?”

“He didn’t say much. All he said was that he experienced a relapse because someone deliberately made him lose his temper, and he told me not to worry!” Noelle replied, directing her gaze toward Julian and Jade as she spoke. “Mom, Dad, since you guys are living with Grandpa, I believe it’s your duty as his children to be more mindful of his health.”

“B*tch! Is that how you should talk to me?” Julian replied angrily. He had noticed Noelle’s accusatory tone.

He was her senior, but she was finding fault with him. Imagine what that did to his ego! “I want to know what your grandfather told you just now. You can tell me if you need money. I can give you more money. However, I won’t allow you to take ownership of the company’s stocks. How are you supposed to manage a company when you know nothing?”

Noelle smirked. “I’m sure that’s what your actual plan is!”

“What?”

Julian was stunned. I’m one of City Ring Corp.’s executives. It only makes sense that I would be concerned!”

Then why weren’t you concerned about Grandpa’s health when you’re his son? Grandpa woke up last night, but have you asked about his condition even once? No, you didn’t!” This was the actual reason Noelle was so disappointed in Julian. “Do you know why Grandpa wants me to own those shares instead of you? Are you sure you really don’t know his reasons?

“Why even bother talking to her? This is how that little brat has always acted. She’s infuriating!” Jade was much less patient than Julian was, and she was extremely annoyed at the way Noelle was acting. “Make her cough up those shares!”
