StarNovelChapter 163 Rowena was always blunt and did not like beating about the bush. When she heard what Noelle said, she got really upset. "And your husband? What does he think?" Noelle bit her lip. "He knows about it and said he'd take care of it. But just a day later, my mom showed up. I bet he doesn't even know yet! I tried calling him, but he was busy and didn't pick up.

"Got it, I'll be there. And hey, make sure to call your husband again. He needs to know about this. It's important." Rowena had never met Charles, but she knew from Noelle that he was a good man.

"You should go and find out what she's really after. I'l cwith you," he suggested firmly.
Noelle quickly refused, "No, that's okay. I couldn't get through to you earlier, so Lasked Rowena for help. She's a reporter, and she's agreed to go with me."
