Chapter 225 Happy Now?
Viola, now a socialite from a prominent family in Kingstowne, could have saved Kain Group if she had stepped in.
Jasper begged her once, but her attitude was chilling.
She acted as if she were afraid of getting dirty, avoiding him.
“Kain Group? Why should I care?” Viola sneered. “I’m the Guzmans‘ heiress now. I cut ties with you a long time ago.”
The sun beat down like a furnace. Sweat streamed down Jasper’s face, soaking his fancy suit and blooming dark stains.
Just as his legs were about to give out, Melrose Manor’s gates creaked open.
Noelle stood on the steps, looking at him coolly.
Jasper actually smiled. “Noey, happy now?”
She frowned, surprised he said that.
He looked at Noelle gently and said softly, “Feel better? Satisfied? If you’re happy, that’s what counts.”

“Jasper, what are you even acting like?” Noelle stood on the steps, looking down at him. “Trying to be the ‘good brother‘? Think that’ll make me let go of Kain Group?”
He was under the blazing sun, sweat soaking his shirt, but he still stared up at Noelle stubbornly.
His eyes were firm but gentle. “I just came to see you.
“Noey, I’m leaving. Kain Group is yours now. We should’ve done this from the start. I trust you’ll run it better than I ever could.
“I’m a mess right now. I hope that when I come back and see you again, I’ll be a brother worth looking up to.”
Right now, he was too weak and in a bad state. He wanted to sharpen himself, get stronger, make it up to Noelle, and be someone she could count on.
Jasper held her gaze for a long second, then didn’t linger. He turned and walked away.
He disappeared from Riverdale,
No one knew where he went. His phone stopped working. He was gone.
Kain Group ended up with Noelle. She renamed it “Genesis Group” and aimed straight for the entertainment industry.
Gresham caught AIDS, ran out of money, and debt collectors were after him. Desperate, he came to beg Noelle for help.
He said no matter what, he’d raised her. He was her father. She couldn’t just leave him to suffer
Noelle didn’t kick him out. She asked, “You really want me to take care of you?”
“Yes! Yes! My sweet girl! You’ve got a heart of gold! Just take me in, please!”
“Fine.” Noelle agreed.

She had him placed in the basement at Melrose Manor and said, “You’ve got a nasty disease. Everyone here thinks it’s disgusting. So, for now, the basement is all you get.”
Gresham nodded quickly. A roof over his head was enough.
But when they led him down, he froze.
It was dark and damp. There was only a rickety plank bed and no window.
“How am I supposed to live here?!”
“Can’t live here? Back at the Kains‘ estate, I was shoved in the basement, remember? If I survived that, so can you. Don’t like it? You
can leave.” Noelle’s voice was cold.
With nowhere else to go, Gresham had no choice but to stay.
Noelle arranged for someone to bring him one meal a day, but it was rotten.
Finally, Gresham snapped.
When the servant set another stinking plate at the door, he leaped up and shouted toward the stairs, “Noelle! I’m your father! How can you treat me like this?!”
Noelle descended the steps slowly, with Sebastian at her side.
“My father?” She raised an eyebrow. “When you locked me in that basement to starve and freeze, did you even remember that?”
Gresham stuttered, “T–that was the past! I know I was wrong!”
