StarNovelChapter 211 They had wanted to get that thirty million dollars from Simon by making her do something she did not want to, right? However, it did not work out, so... Noelle's hands balled into fists. "I always thought that if I just kept quiet, things would work out. But after today, I see it doesn't matter how much I back down. They'll never feel sorry. They'll just push harder!" Her grip was so tight that her knuckles turned white.
She was shaking, feeling hopeless about her family. She had always kept a distance from them, not because she could not stand up for herself, but because they never seemed to care.
Then, she felt a warm hand on hers. Charles was patting her hand gently. "What do you want to do?" Noelle bit her lip, her eyes showing her struggle. After a moment, she put her other hand on Charles's. "You said you'd help me, right?" Charles's eyes sparkled, and a smile spread across his face. "Yes." "I want to swap shares with you!" Charles's smile grew. "You can do whatever you want." He was her husband, after all, and he was on her side. "You're not even going to ask why?" Noelle was taken aback. "Aren't you scared..." "Why worry?" Charles asked with a shake of his head and a gentle laugh. "I've got your back, so just go for it." Noelle could not help but smile for real this time. She knew Charles cared about her, but she never imagined he would go so far. What had she done to deserve so much support from this amazing guy? Her hair was tousled from Charles's big hand, so she gently pushed his hand away, "Keep your eyes on the road!" she said, then paused and added, "I'm thinking about swapping shares with you for Royal Star Entertainment." "That'll be easy," Charles replied, his long fingers relaxed on the steering wheel. He took a deep breath. "Are you sure about this?" Noelle nodded. "I've given it a lot of thought. Grandpa gavethose shares so I'd have something solid for the future and I wouldn't be left with nothing. I know he means well, but owning shares can be a hassle." Charles understood what she meant. He knew Samuel's intentions.
"I don't really get how City Ring Corp. works, so having shares and being part of the company wouldn't make much sense for me. Plus, the other Shaws would just try to tripup It's a headache I don't need. It's better to pass it on to sit's pet else she explained, looking at Charles. "If I gave them to Joshua, he might not even want them. And since he's part of the Shaw family too, they'd treat him the sas me. I don't want to drag him into this mess!"
Charles understood. "Giving it to Joshua? You might as well give it to anyone off the street." He understood what Noelle meant. "I'll take great care of it!" "You're not just anyone to me!" Noelle insisted. "To the Shaw family, sure, you're an outsider. But you're not one to me. That's a big difference." A warm smile spread across
Charles's face. It was so rare for her Even to see things so clearly. Even if this meant a a little trouble with the Shaws for him, it did not seem like such a big deal anymore. "Yeah, I get it."
Back at Phoenix Tree Residence, Charles led Noelle to the study. She was confused until Xe pulled out a contract from the safe. Noelle's eyes widened. "You had this ready? Is it for me?" X
