"Someone's messed with the cameras. They've got to be an expert to wreck the surveillance so fast and without a trace. They came ready. Sean, we need those cameras up and running ASAP!" Charles's eyebrows were knotted tight, a sign he was really worried."Of course, but you should watch your back too. My brother mentioned that things are shaky in Cascade City and Capiton. The stock market might take a big hit soon."Charles's eyes gave a quick flash. "Hmm.""You haven't actually made enemies, have you?"Charles looked up sharply, his icy gaze landing on Sean. "If I've made enemies, you're probably in the mix too!"Sean lifted an eyebrow, trying to seem tough. "Don't try to spook me. I'm not scared that easily."Charles did not say more, but Sean could tell things were probably more twisted than they thought. "Fine, I'll get someone on camera.""Make it fast. You've got two days." Charles fiddled with his cufflinks, then stopped as if a thought had struck him and stared at Sean.

Chapter 1462

Noelle had barely slept for the past few days because of Samuel.She kept telling herself that Samuel was just sleeping and would still be there when she woke up. Every time she awoke to find the room empty, Noelle felt an emptiness in her heart too.A sound came from outside the window. Charles rolled it down and saw Eli standing in the rain with an umbrella. "Ms. Noelle, are you free tomorrow?""Yes, what's up?" Noelle asked, a bit surprised to see Eli. "Thanks for all your hard work, Mr. Thompson!"Eli let out a long sigh. "I hope it's not too much trouble. Tomorrow, a lawyer will come to the Shaw family to read the will that your Grandpa wrote before he passed away."Noelle blinked in surprise. "When did Grandpa write a will? I had no idea.""It was written quite some time ago. It mentions you, Noelle, so you should come to the Shaw family's house tomorrow!" Eli explained as the rain outside seemed to pour down even harder.Through the sheets of rain, Noelle saw Eli and sudd

"That can't be true!" Jade cut off Eli. "She's a Smith, not a Shaw. She doesn't deserve anything from the old man's estate. Get her out of here now!""Wait a moment!"A steady voice broke through the tension. A man with a briefcase and old-fashioned glasses walked in from the entrance. "Hello, everyone. I'm Sir Shaw’s attorney. He asked me to prepare his will, and we're to follow his instructions for the estate after his passing!""My name is Kent Cook.""Mr. Cook, please, take a seat!" Julian quickly moved Jade aside and gestured for Kent to sit. "Mr. Cook, when can we go over my father's will?""Has everyone arrived? Once we're all here, we can get started," Mr. Cook said, scanning the room. "The will mentions five people: Julian and Jade Shaw, their daughter Winter, the old man's chosen granddaughter Noelle, and his godson Joshua.""That can't be right. Noelle and Joshua aren't part of our Shaw family. Why would they be in the will? And with Joshua missing, we can't go on with

How could she not recognize him?However, why was Grant claiming to be Joshua? He had said before that he was not Joshua, so what was going on? Why had he suddenly shown up there? What was he after?If Grant really was Joshua, why would he want to be Samuel's godson in the Shaw family when he came from the wealthy Anderson family?Noelle's head was buzzing with questions. She had so many things she wanted to ask, but she knew this was not the right time or place. She just nodded and said with a bright smile, "Uncle Joshua, it's been ages! I've missed you so much!"Grant gave a sly grin. "I was starting to think you'd forgotten me, Noelle!" He gave her a look that seemed to say more than his words, then turned to Julian and Jade with a nod. "Hey, Julian, Jade!"Julian's face turned sour the moment he saw Grant, and Jade did not look too happy either.Julian had thought he was finally free of his biggest rival when Joshua left. He had had a few years to relax, but Joshua was back n

"What did you just say?" Jade and Julian shot up from their seats, staring at Kent with wide eyes. "Could there be a mistake?""There’s no mistake," Kent assured them. "Sir Shaw made this will a year ago. He decided every part of this asset split himself, and he was in his right mind when he did it!""This can't be right!" Jade was adamant. "How could the old man give all the shares to people who aren't even Shaws? We're his real family, his own flesh and blood."Jade was in shock. She could not fathom that Samuel would make such a will. Even if Samuel was very fond of Noelle, it just did not make sense for him to give her everything."It's definitely you. You did something, didn't you?" Jade pointed all her fingers at Noelle. "You must've whispered something to Grandpa, and that's why he made this crazy will that doesn't make any sense." She and Julian were left with just a big house, and Winter only got $750,000."Mrs. Shaw, please stop talking nonsense and attacking my work," K

"Don't worry about it, Noelle. I don't need these things!" Grant said as he softly tapped Noelle on the head. "Dad gave them to you for a reason, so you should hold on to them.""A reason?" Jade laughed icily, cutting off Grant. "Joshua, remember how you promised Jule you'd never come back or take anything from the Shaw family?""I kept my promise. Have you seen me around the Shaw house in the past few years? I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Dad. I never wanted the shares he left me. I've already given them to Noelle. Is that a problem for you?""It sure is," Jade said, glaring at Noelle. "Didn't you hear? She's not a Shaw. Her last name is Smith, and she’s Harrison's daughter. Why should a Smith take anything from us?"Noelle's brow creased. "What are you getting at, Mrs. Shaw?""Give back what belongs to the Shaw family!""You want the shares I have?" Noelle asked, one eyebrow arched."That's right. I want all of it back, everything the old man gave you!" Jade's eyes blaze

"Mrs. Shaw, do you really think I'm scared?" Noelle said indifferently, looking at Jade and Julian."Mr. Shaw, Mrs. Shaw might be confused right now, but you wouldn't be, right?"Julian frowned at Noelle, but Jade pulled his hand hard. "Jule, are you still going to be wishy-washy? Noelle is here to make us pay. She won't be happy until she's destroyed our family!"Julian scowled. "Noelle, just give us the shares. Your mom and I will remember we were family once and let you go. If you won't...""What if I won't?" Noelle's eyes turned icy as she stared back at Julian and Jade. "Grandpa gave this to me, and I'm not giving it to you!""Then don't blame us for not being nice."Jade gave a look to the thugs, and they started to rush over.However, they had barely taken a few steps when another group of skilled people at the door stopped them in their tracks.The mess was quickly sorted out, and Andrew gave a cool look to the guy on the ground before coming over. "Ma'am, are you okay?

Thinking back on those times, Noelle felt like it was all a dream. "So, you really are Joshua. Why didn't you admit it right away?""Admit what?"Grant looked at Noelle with a calm smile. "There was no need to!""Why not? You're my Uncle Joshua!" Noelle blurted out, but then she hesitated and gave him a wry smile. "No, you're Grant, not Joshua. I'm just a little confused. If you're part of the Anderson family, why did you come to the Shaw family?"Grant squinted, his steady and deep gaze resting on Noelle. "Do you really want to know?"Noelle shook her head, then nodded. "Yes."She did not believe it was just by chance. Grant definitely had secrets she did not know about.Grant gave Noelle a long look. "To repay a big favor!""A big favor?" Noelle was puzzled. "What favor? How did it make you travel all the way from Capiton to Brookville, after leaving home for so many years?"Grant gave Noelle a helpless smile. "A favor that saved a life. It involves your real mom!"Noelle's

"But this was Grandpa's life's work." Noelle knew it was like throwing money into a pit. The shares looked nice, but they were actually in red. If Charles stepped in now, he would be taking a loss.Julian and the others did not see it that way. They still thought the shares could be worth a fortune!Grant gave a small smile. "Noelle, you're just too nice!"However, Noelle just gave a wry smile in return. "It's not about being nice. It's about doing the right thing. Grandpa has always been there for me, and I can't just sit back and do nothing when City Ring Corp. is in trouble!"Grant's brow creased with worry. "Do you realize how shaky the stock market in Zyphonia has been lately? It's not just Capiton and Cascade City that are affected. Brookville is buzzing too. It could cause a huge stir, you know?"Noelle looked at Grant, surprised, and then her forehead wrinkled in concern. "Why are you telling me all this?""The things happening lately aren't just random. You need to be ca

Charles gave a nod, silently agreeing. However, Noelle could tell Charles was not too thrilled about it. She quirked an eyebrow and asked, "The York family? Which York family are we talking about?"Charles looked at Noelle, his gaze intense. With just a quick lift of his eyebrow, Noelle had her answer. "Simon’s family?""Exactly," Charles replied. "In all of Brookville, there's only one York family worth mentioning."Noelle pursed her lips in surprise. "I thought the Hoffmans and the Yorks didn't really know each other!" She had been with Charles for quite a while, and he had never brought up the Yorks. If Jade had not been so keen on setting her up with Simon, Noelle would not have given the York family a second thought.Nancy chuckled at that. "No wonder you're out of the loop, Noelle. We're not exactly close with the Yorks ourselves. It's just some old family stuff and a distant relation, but it's nothing for you to worry about."Noelle nodded, figuring the connection was not a
