The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 416

"Mother." Noelle had reached her limit. She felt like her mother was being completely absurd, treating her as if she were some kind of disappointment. Every word dripped with scorn. Was she really that terrible?

"I didn't get kicked out of Frotconn; I left on my own terms," Noelle retorted, noticing a flicker of surprise on Jade's face, which gave her a sense of satisfaction. "I moved on because I got a better job. You know what they say, right? Aim high."

"You? Getting a better job?" Jade's skepticism was palpable.

"It's a pretty good one! I'm working in the project department at Collosus Group now." Noelle sat with a calm poise, catching the swift change in Jade's expression. "Collosus Group? Isn't that Charles's company? Xavier's uncle?"

"Xavier's uncle?" Noelle chuckled. "I've been with Collosus Group for quite a while, and I've never heard a peep about Charles having a nephew. A niece, sure, but she's just a little tyke, five or six years old!"

"You..." Jade's hand hit the dining table with a thud. "Are you kidding me? So you work at Collosus Group, big deal! Your sister just got signed as a new artist there. If you're saying Xavier isn't connected to Charles, then explain why Charles would sign your sister!"
