Samuel paused, then broke into a smile. "You mentioned that last time!" He remembered Noelle telling him about the Royal Star Entertainment shares. "What I meant was...""Grandpa, don't worry. Charles is really good to me," Noelle told Samuel, signaling that she was okay. "He's not like Xavier. He's got everything he needs, and he definitely doesn't need any shares in City Ring Corp.!"Samuel's eyes twinkled, and he nodded. "I get it," he said. City Ring Corp. was tiny compared to the giant Collosus Group, and Samuel knew that well. "All I want is for you to be happy, Noelle. Sure, money and shares are just material items, but sometimes, they're pretty important!"Noelle nodded back. "I know what you mean—you want me to be safe and sound in the future! Charles told me that even though he has the shares, he won't use them. They're basically still mine." She grinned. "Actually, I got a better deal. I traded shares with him for Royal Star Entertainment, and he even gave me his shares.

Xavier saw them too, and his face turned pale.Noelle squinted her eyes. While Xavier was not looking, she dashed away and hopped into her car, leaving him coughing in a cloud of exhaust.Xavier tried to follow, but the sight of the flashing cameras made him clench his teeth in frustration, and he walked away quickly. The photographers, realizing they had been spotted, scrambled off.Meanwhile, Winter was studying a script when a package arrived for her. The downstairs servant brought it up, and she opened it, puzzled. However, her confusion turned to fury when she saw the photos inside.She grabbed the photos and tore them to shreds. "Noelle... You snake!"Winter shook with anger. "Xavier is mine, all mine!"Noelle felt she was still being followed, so she called Charles. She was still feeling sick from her encounter with Xavier, and her voice was sharp with irritation.Charles was in a meeting when he heard Noelle's special ringtone. His eyes narrowed for a moment.The other

"Mom!" Winter, on the verge of tears, clung to Jade. "What do I do? Xavier still loves Noelle..."Jade's eyes were icy. She despised Noelle deeply too. "You're overthinking it. You're engaged to Xavier. Why worry about Noelle?""But it's just an engagement, not a marriage. You know how Xavier is..." Winter's grip tightened in frustration. "I don't care. He has to be mine!"Even though she initially got close to Xavier to steal him from Noelle, she fell for him after spending so much time together. She was so happy with Xavier, and if Noelle was not in the way, Xavier would have surely fallen for her too."Mom, can you help me, please?" Winter put all her hope in Jade. "Noelle isn't with Xavier anymore, so why does she keep hanging on to him?"Jade saw the photo on the ground, her face turning stormy and fierce. The face from her memories and Noelle's face merged in her mind, and Jade clenched her teeth. "Winter, don't worry. I won't let you go through what I did back then. That wo

"In the end, isn’t it all about the shares Winter has? " Xavier glared at his dad, Joseph. "Why can't anyone see why I'm with Winter? Don't you get it, Dad?" Xavier was upset. "Noelle and I were great together. We...""Enough!" Joseph cut him off. "You're being so ungrateful. Can't you see that I'm doing this for you? Marry Winter and get her shares. Someday, you’ll get the whole City Ring Corp. and the Shaw family. What's Noelle got to offer? If she was capable, would I care if you two were together?""Noelle..." Xavier tried to say something but stopped. He remembered Noelle's harsh words from earlier and felt like he had been slapped.He thought back to his school days when he was free-spirited and full of life, a star student with so much drive. However, working life had trapped him, making him overthink every move.Today, he really felt Noelle's scorn.Xavier's hands balled into fists, his veins popping out.He thought about Noelle saying she would sell her shares to anyone

Noelle's smile turned playful. "Sure, but you'd only have one customer—me!"Charles chuckled and playfully tapped Noelle's nose. "You're such a tease!"Noelle blinked and stretched her neck, trying to reach Charles's face with her hand, but she was too far away. She pouted. "Come down a little!"Charles gave her a look, holding her wriggling hand still. "Settle down. Your hair isn't dry yet!""Hey, duck down a bit!" she exclaimed, trying to get up, but Charles gently pushed her back down. "No more playing around!" He did lower his head, though, and Noelle was delighted. She playfully rubbed and pinched Charles's smiling face, noticing his eyes seemed to sparkle even more.Noelle raised an eyebrow when she saw the look on Charles's face and quickly let go. "Come on, don't be lazy. Dry my hair already!"Charles gave her a soft look and then tenderly held Noelle's face, planting a kiss on the tip of her nose. Noelle giggled, feeling ticklish, and tried to push him away, but Charles
