No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 471

Noelle knew exactly why Blake was so desperate to work with her. It was not about morality, redemption, or even regret. In truth, he just could not bear the thought of losing his company to Xenia.

It was funny how it only hurt when the knife landed on him.

Blake exhaled sharply. "What's your condition?"

Noelle replied, "It's simple. Transfer all your company shares to me."

Blake's head snapped up. He exclaimed in disbelief, "Noelle, are you crazy? If I hand over my shares, then everything I'm fighting for will have been for nothing!"

Noelle arched a brow. "Didn't you just say you'd do anything to make up for what you did? That as long as I didn't press charges, you'd agree to whatever I wanted?"

Blake's jaw tightened. For once, he had nothing to say. "The company is something I built with my own hands."

"I know that. But you can always take Donovan's shares instead. You'll still be a top star, and your public image won't take a hit. Any way you look at it, you're the one profiting," Noelle reasoned.

Blake scoffed. "You've really gotten greedy, haven't you?"

Noelle stepped closer, her voice calm but piercing. "Greedy? If I hadn't written those scripts for you, would your company even exist today? I earned this."

There was a time when she just wanted to escape the Liddells. However, she was not stupid anymore. If something belonged to her, she was not going to hesitate to take it.

She turned away and continued, "If you're not interested, forget it."

"Then you'll get nothing," Blake said through gritted teeth.

Noelle argued. "At least I won't lose my reputation. I'll still have options. You, on the other hand? You won't get another chance."
