The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 211

They had wanted to get that thirty million dollars from Simon by making her do something she did not want to, right? However, it did not work out, so...

Noelle's hands balled into fists. "I always thought that if I just kept quiet, things would work out. But after today, I see it doesn't matter how much I back down. They'll never feel sorry. They'll just push harder!" Her grip was so tight that her knuckles turned white.

She was shaking, feeling hopeless about her family. She had always kept a distance from them, not because she could not stand up for herself, but because they never seemed to care.

Then, she felt a warm hand on hers. Charles was patting her hand gently. "What do you want to do?"

Noelle bit her lip, her eyes showing her struggle. After a moment, she put her other hand on Charles's. "You said you'd help me, right?"

Charles's eyes sparkled, and a smile spread across his face. "Yes."

"I want to swap shares with you!"

Charles's smile grew. "You can do whatever you want." He was her husband, after all, and he was on her side.

"You're not even going to ask why?" Noelle was taken aback. "Aren't you scared..."

"Why worry?" Charles asked with a shake of his head and a gentle laugh. "I've got your back, so just go for it."
