The Cherished Wife

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? NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

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?”

“Buy them?” Noelle laughed. “How much money do you have to do that?”

“I…” Winter gritted her teeth. “I’ve spent some time working in the entertainment industry and have quite a bit of savings. How much are you asking for?”

Noelle gave Winter a mocking look, marveling at how innocent she could be at times. “Since you’re such a fan of the entertainment industry, why don’t you continue in that line of work? Who knows?

Perhaps you might win an Oscar or an Emmy in the future! I don’t think you would have any idea how to do business either!”

An ugly look immediately appeared on Winter’s face. She could no longer keep the smile on her face and wished desperately that she could strangle Noelle. “Noelle, what are you talking about? If there’s anything I don’t know, I can just learn. You don’t even like doing business, so there’s no point in you having ownership over those shares. You might even end up getting scammed in the future!”

“I might not be the one who ends up getting scammed!” Noelle said bemusedly. She imitated Charles and smiled a smile that did not reach her eyes. “Everything I’ve said remains true. I won’t give you ownership over the shares no matter how much money you offer me!”

Noelle swept a cold gaze over them. “Grandpa is asleep now. I’m leaving.”

“You can’t leave!” Jade stood in Noelle’s way. “You aren’t going anywhere until we get everything sorted out!”

Jade was determined to stop Noelle from leaving because she could not accept the way things had progressed. Noelle could not have ownership over these shares. What would happen to her darling Winter if that happened?

Julian walked over. “Be a good girl, Noelle. I’ll give you anything you want, other than those shares!”

“Hah!” Noelle scoffed. “So, you’re resorting to threatening me now?” She curled her hands into fists and

drew in a deep breath. “Threats won’t work either. I won’t hand those shares over to you!”

She had expected that the Shaws would not just sit back and watch, but she did not expect them to take things to such an extent.

Noelle smiled slightly. “Oh, I forgot to tell you guys that although Grandpa has given me ownership over the shares, I’ve already transferred to someone else!”

“What did you say?” Julian exclaimed as he gave Noelle a look of disbelief. “You transferred ownership over the shares to someone else? When did that happen? Who did you give them to?” Julian reached out to grab Noelle’s arm, a bone–chilling look in his eyes. “Did you give them to Joshua?”

Noelle was startled by the fury on Julian’s face. It was her first time seeing Julian this agitated.

Julian was much stronger than Jade, and he tightened his grip on Noelle’s arm when she said nothing. “ Answer me, Noelle. Did you give your uncle the right to own those shares?”
