A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 399

Chapter 399

Noel was attending the charity ball too, but as board chairwoman of Sachs Enterprises.

Sachs Enterprises would never make the list of the Stuarts' grandest annual charity ball, and it was Jessica who personally extended an invitation to Noel. Jessica said that since they were partners, she should give Noel more opportunities if it was within her abilities.

Noel was beside herself with joy, and went out of her way to brag in front of her family. After all, she was no longer staying at the family's mansion, having bought herself another that was much grander than theirs.

Still, Sue met her in private. She appeared to be happy for Noel, saying that she and Noel could finally hold their own in the Sachs family. She also added that Plum had been kept miserably in house arrest at the mansion by Simon himself.

Despite all her fawning, it was clear Sue wanted to win Noel over and take a cut of the Sachs's family estate. However, Noel was no pushover. She grew up watching Sue, and knew very well what Sue was scheming-once Sue earned Noel’s favor, she would slowly siphon off the shares on Sachs Enterprises that Noel owned until everything was returned to Sonny Sachs.

Noel naturally didn't humor Sue, and had the latter thrown out even as she promptly dropped all disguises, screaming and cursing Noel.

No one would take even a single percentage of her shares!

Naturally, Noel had worked hard on her dress and makeup as she strutted along the red carpet of the Stuarts' charity ball, intent on stealing the spotlight and flaunting herself in that prestigious event.

What she didn't expect, however, was that none of the journalists were calling out to her despite her deliberately slow pace-or looking at her, for that matter. She definitely made headlines and caused an uproar in business when she took control over Sachs Enterprises, but since then, she hadn’t received not even one interview.

Though she had already thought about what to say when she made the public appearance she looked forward to, no one even looked her way.

She walked very slowly, even posing a little to draw attention-even so, everyone was summarily refusing to interview her.

Just as she wondered if Rocktown's journalists were harder to please, the journalists flocking at the other end were suddenly bursting with excitement.

Noel turned to find Patrick and Cordy alighting from a black Rolls Royce, instantly becoming the focus of the red carpet as everyone turned towards them. In fact, the journalists were all so eager that Noel thought she was imagining it.
