Chapter 431

Noelle bit her lip. "When Winter found out that Xavier was somewhat related to you, she was already trying to take advantage of it. If they find out about our marriage, won't they keep pestering us?"Maybe you don't mind, but I do. I don't want anything to interfere with our relationship."She clasped Charles' hand tightly, as if afraid he might misunderstand. He then interlocked their fingers. "You have to trust me, trust in us, and most importantly, trust yourself. How could I be ashamed of someone as outstanding as you?"Charles smiled when he heard her explanation, his lips curling slightly. He glanced down at their tightly interlaced fingers, and there was amusement glinting in his eyes.He was not truly angry; he just did not like the idea of sneaking around. However, as he listened to Noelle, he realized she genuinely wanted to protect their relationship from unnecessary complications.Seeing that Charles' expression had softened, Noelle breathed a sigh of relief. "I've alr

Dinner was prepared by Charles that night. Since Noelle had been very busy lately, especially after starting to learn under Brian, she found herself constantly short on time.In contrast, Charles seemed much more relaxed, almost as if he had all the time in the world. It would make anyone who did not know better think he was just idling his days away.Noelle worked for over an hour before glancing at the time and finally heading downstairs. Charles had just emerged from the kitchen when he saw her massaging her neck as she descended the stairs.He waved her over and said, "Come on, wash your hands and let's eat!""It smells so good!" Noelle exclaimed as she caught a whiff of the food.As she got closer and saw the spread, she remarked, "This is a lot! Can the two of us even finish all this?" There was clearly enough food for several people. However, Charles simply glanced at her and said, "You've gotten too thin, especially with how busy you've been lately."Noelle pouted. "It'

As Noelle thought about it, she pondered for a moment. "What was Winter doing at your garden house?"Teresa replied, "What else? She just met up with a few people from her old clique. It seems they're planning a birthday party and will be inviting old classmates."Since she's busy with filming and can't handle everything herself, she's getting some friends to help organize it. Don't you think she's getting a bit carried away?"Noelle smirked. "Probably." Only Noelle knew that Winter had always been like this.This time, Winter likely wanted to throw a big party for another reason. It was because she had married Xavier.Noelle could almost picture Winter inviting her just to take the opportunity to humiliate her as she would not miss such a chance.Noelle was engrossed in chatting with Rowena and Teresa. As she turned over in bed, she noticed Charles sitting at the foot of the bed, though she was not sure when he had gotten there.His legs were casually positioned, with one hand

Chapter 434

Noelle's suspicions were confirmed—Winter indeed would not miss any chance to humiliate her.While Noelle was out with Brian on an inspection, she received a call from Winter. Winter mentioned that her birthday was coming up in a few days and that Noelle, as her only sister, was expected to attend.In the past, Noelle might have attended the event out of consideration for the family and Winter's reputation. However, the current Noelle was different. Even if she decided to go, she would not allow Winter to bully her like before.After hanging up the phone, Noelle's expression remained calm. Brian noticed her silence and assumed something was wrong. "Noelle?"Noelle snapped out of her thoughts. She tucked her phone into her bag and opened her notebook to continue working with Brian. However, it was clear that her focus had waned compared to earlier. "You seem off. Is something wrong?"Noelle shook her head. "Nothing major. By the way, you mentioned earlier that the higher-ups want t

The wind outside was strong, and Noelle was dressed rather lightly. When she heard Xavier's words that were carried over by the wind, she almost thought she had misheard. "You're looking for me?"Xavier nodded as he glanced at Noelle. She seemed thinner than he remembered, which made him a bit concerned. "You've lost a lot of weight."Hearing this, Noelle frowned. "If you have something to say, just say it."She glanced around impatiently, adding, "It's work hours."Xavier's face stiffened slightly, his expression becoming somewhat awkward. "Noelle, do we really have to be like this?""And what do you suggest we do, dearest brother-in-law?" Noelle narrowed her eyes with a cold smile playing on her lips. "If you don't have anything important to say, I'll be heading back.""Noelle!" Xavier called out and sighed slightly. "I know you're still angry with us, but what's done is done."He regretted it deeply, but he understood that things between them could never go back to the way th

Charles furrowed his brows slightly and rubbed his temples. "With such a grand display at the entrance of Collosus Group, do you think I wouldn't find out?"Noelle pressed her lips together. "Don't be like that." She could tell Charles was upset. "You know there's nothing between us. He just came by to deliver an invitation.""An invitation?" Charles frowned. "What kind of invitation? Are they celebrating something again? Planning to get married a second time?" His tone was filled with displeasure and disdain.Noelle understood that if it were not for her, Charles probably would not even acknowledge Xavier's existence. In Charles' mind, he was not worth his attention.However, hearing Charles' comment, Noelle could not help but burst into laughter. She still had the invitation Xavier had handed her. "You actually guessed right."Winter had given this to her, likely to remind her that she was now married to Xavier.It was just that sometimes, Winter's thinking seemed off. She woul

"Alright!" Winter watched as Annie helped to greet the guests, then cast a cold glance in her direction.Suzy walked over and whispered, "Simon is here too. Are you sure you want to go through with this? It's Simon we're talking about. If he decides to pursue this, it could get messy!"Winter scoffed. "What are you afraid of? I've done my homework. Simon's not that high up in the York family's hierarchy; he has an older brother overshadowing him. He can't cause too much trouble. Besides, isn't this what he enjoys? I'm actually doing him a favor."Winter smiled, taking Suzy's hand. "You don't need to do anything, just keep an eye on Simon.""Mr. York, you're here!" Winter then hurried over to greet Simon as he approached. The other guests made way for him as he walked by.While some of Winter's old classmates might not know Simon, the young socialites certainly did. Simon was infamous in their circles for his wild lifestyle.Simon approached Winter with his alluring eyes. His gaze

Chapter 438

Noelle arrived alone at the party.Winter had not invited Rowena or Teresa this time, so Noelle had already guessed that Winter had something special planned for her. It was likely to embarrass her in front of everyone.She figured that would be the extent of Winter's little gift as it was probably the most someone like Winter could come up with.When Noelle arrived at Winter's birthday party, most of the guests were already there.Winter spotted Noelle from a distance. She was dressed in a camel-colored coat over a light-colored dress, looking quite striking.Winter's eyes darkened with envy, but she reminded herself that Noelle would be crying soon enough, and that thought brightened her mood. She walked over, taking Noelle's hand in a show of sisterly affection. "Noelle, you're finally here! I thought you weren't going to come today.""How could I not?" Noelle calmly pulled her hand away from Winter's with a serene expression. She reached into her bag and took out a gift box

Chapter 439

Winter had once subtly hinted to Xavier that she wanted him to take the Heart of the Ocean necklace back, but Xavier always refused no matter how much she tried.Winter indeed wanted that necklace, but not in this way. Noelle's actions were clearly a way to humiliate her, to declare war, and to remind her that Xavier had once loved Noelle deeply.Was Noelle implying that no matter how hard Winter fought, she was only taking something Noelle had discarded?No one could see the turmoil in Winter's heart at that moment. She hated Noelle intensely, and she hated her current attitude even more.Despite Winter's reaction, Noelle kept her smile. "Of course, you're my only sister. I didn't give you a proper wedding gift when you got married, so I thought I'd make it up to you on your birthday."Noelle leaned closer, placing the Heart of the Ocean into Winter's hand. "I've worn it before, but I think this necklace suits you better, which is why I'm giving it to you. Aren't you happy, Winte

Winter had once truly liked that necklace, but now, seeing it only made her feel a deep sense of irritation.At this moment, Annie pushed the door open and stepped inside. Winter turned around impatiently, ready to snap. "Who told you to come in… Annie?"Annie glanced at the necklace lying on the floor. When Winter was not looking, her gaze darkened briefly. Then, she bent down to pick up the necklace, smiling as she said, "I don't see why you're so upset. Xavier is your husband now. This just proves that Noelle is nothing more than a defeated opponent. What's a necklace compared to that?"Xavier belongs entirely to you now. I imagine Noelle is just bitter, so she's using this necklace to try to provoke you. But think about it. Besides trying to upset you, what else can she do?"Winter cast a suspicious glance at Annie, feeling that she had been acting a bit strange lately. Annie, who used to be quick-tempered, was not usually the type to say something so calculated. Nevertheless
