The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33 

Noelle was no fool. She knew she was not exactly the family favorite, but she had not expected them to stoop this low. Her dad, who was usually so compor, was showing his true colors at Grandpa’s birthday, of all places. It was a real eyeopener for Noelle

Grandpa, how about I hang out with you for a bit?Noelle flashed a smile. Check it out. We’ve got a full house today, all here to party for you.She gently took Samuel’s hand, ready 

to head off

Julian was fuming his face red and his mustache practically bristling. With the crowd watching, however, he bit his tongue

Then, out of nowhere, the crowd started buzzing and a wave of gasps rolled through the room. Noelle peeked through the sea of people and spotted someone making an entrance at the door the Shaw family had been keeping an eye on. The guy was tall and striking, walking with a confidence that said keep your distance, completely stealing the spotlight from Noelle and her grandpa 

Dressed to the nines in a sleek black suit that made him look even sharper, he strode in confidently with a nononsense guy on his heels. He was carrying a fancy gift box and heading straight for Noelle. The crowd could not stop whispering. Isn’t that the hotshot from the Hoffman family?” 

Hey, that’s Mr. Hoffman, right?” 

Wow, the Shaw family must be a big deal to get Mr. Hoffman to show up.” 

If you ask me, it’s not about the Shaw family’s reputation at all. It’s totally because of the Hoffman family connections.” 

Winter’s gaze was locked on the guy who was shining like a star in the middle of the crowd. She could not look away. Then, turning to Xavier with a puzzled frown, she asked, Hey Xavier, when did your family start hanging out with celebrities? Who is this Mr. Hoffman guy?

Xavier bit his lip, glancing at his dad with mixed feelings. He had to admit that Charles showing up was a big win for his family. He managed a small grin and said, That’s Charles Hoffman.” 

No way, he was that Charles? One of the Four Young Masters of Brookville
