The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 155

Julian's brows creased with worry. "What about Noelle?"

"She has never repaid us with anything. It's only fair she helps the Shaw family now," Jade's biting words floated to Winter, who was surprised but kept listening.

Julian was getting upset. "You've lost it! I told you we're not talking about this again. Do you want the whole world to find out?"

Jade shrugged. "Why worry? I'm over it, and it's not even your problem."

She added with a scowl, "We never should've brought that troublemaker home. Look how Dad's acting now."

Julian cut her off, "That's enough! I need to think this over."

"What's there to think about? Don't forget about the Yorks..."

"Enough. I've got to figure out how to bring Noelle back home!" Julian glared at Jade. "I know you don't like her, but do you think I do? Dad's no fool, and he knows what's going on."

Jade stopped talking, though she was clearly upset. She could not help but take her anger out on Noelle.

Winter lingered outside the door, listening. She did not catch the news she was hoping for, but she pieced together that Noelle was someone important and her parents were not fans of her.

Her dad had even agreed to send Noelle off to Simon. Hence, all Winter could do was wait.

...

Noelle was worried even though Charles had said he would handle things. She could not focus at work and was lost in her thoughts until Ava had to call her name a few times.
