StarNovelChapter 258 Chapter 258 Samuel had been in the hospital for a week. Noelle visited him whenever she had the chance. Ever since Samuel learned about Noelle's marriage, he could not wait to meet her husband. The anticipation seemed to speed up his recovery.
Noelle had not been back to Frotconn since. She spent her days either at Phoenix Tree Residence or by Samuel's side in the hospital. One day, she ran into Jade in the hospital. Jade was already fuming at the sight of Noelle, especially angry that she had not been able to find Noelle at her hrecently. It made her itch with frustration. Jade stood in front of the ward's door, her arms crossed. She did not let Noelle inside.
Noelle tried to step around her, but Jade caught her arm. "Hey! Don't you know how to greet your own mother?" Noelle's eyebrows pinched together as she looked at her arm in Jade's grip. It hurt a little, and she pulled away. "Mom!" she said, her voice strong and clear. Anyone listening could tell Noelle was not happy with Jade. Jade was angry, her teeth clenched. "Is this how you're going to act?" "If you don't need anything, I'm going in. I made soup for Grandpa, and he's waiting for me!" Noelle tried to move past Jade again, but she would not budge. "Hold it right there. Tellwhat happened the other day. Did you really give Grandpa's shares away?" "Wasn't I clear enough back then?"

"Are you threatening me?” Jade snapped. “You don't even own any part of City Ring Corp. How could you give those shares away? Who did you give them to?" Jade was fuming. "How much did he pay you? Tellso I can get those shares back!" "No way!" Noelle's voice turned icy. "Mom, I used to wonder if I did something wrong. I wondered why you favored Winter over me. But now, I see it's not me, it's you. Grandpa owned those shares, and he can do what he wants with them. He gave them to me, so now I can do whatever I want too. They're not yours, so why can't you let it go?"
"You little brat!" Jade slapped Noelle hard across the face. "Is that now you want to talk to me?"
"I think you're the brat here!" The hospital room door burst open, and Samuel stormed qux glaring at Jade. "You dare hit Noelle right in front of me? What would you do if I weren't here, huh?"
"Dad, I..." Jade was caught off guard, not expecting Samuel to wake up and see her fighting with Noelle. "Bad you don't understand. Noelle gave away all the shares you gave her. Isn't that betrayal? Those shares are the empire you built, and it's a big deal if City Ring Corp.'s shares end up with strangers!" "Hmph!" Samuel snorted, his icy eyes sweeping over Jade before he waved Noelle over.
