Noel was dumbfounded.
He wanted to speak several times, but Cecilia kept throwing money at him, preventing him from opening his mouth.
His head was spinning, completely bewildered.
Noel reached out to remove the bills that had been thrown at his face.
But Cecilia had thrown too many, and he couldn’t catch up.
He felt a series of impacts on his face, and the edges of the coins kept scraping against his skin, leaving a small trail
of lines.
“Cecilia!”
Noel was starting to get angry. Even with the best manners, one couldn’t withstand this barrage of coins hitting
their face.
“What are you doing?!”
Sue’s humiliation was one thing, but the way Cecilia treated him… It was as if she wasn’t sincere in wanting to meet
him to talk!
“What am I doing?” Cecilia raised an eyebrow and mockingly smiled. “I’m doing what I want to do!”

The entire corridor looked like it was raining pink petals as the paper notes flew around Noel.
In the eyes of others, this scene was shocking.
But to Noel, it was incomprehensible.
“You like money, so I’m just throwing money at you!” Cecilia asked him. “What? You’re willing to accept my mom’s
money, but not mine? Or do you think the amount I’m tossing at you is too little, and you want me to throw more?”
As soon as she finished speaking…
Bang!
Another thick bundle of bills rushed toward Noel. If he hadn’t closed his eyes quickly, his eyes might have been
poked out by them!
But now, he had regained his composure.
He might as well not have reacted; now, he just felt a profound sense of desolation.
Noel looked at the girl he had first fallen in love with—at Cecilia, who was now looking down on him from above.
He found the current scene rather amusing.
“Did your mom tell you that I took that money?”
1.5 million…
Fulcher Inc. had been doing well in recent years, and Julian had been generous to him. Although his salary was just
a typical executive’s salary, Julian had given him shares, and the annual dividends from Fulcher Inc. were far more
than that amount.
Taking that 1.5 million from Sue was practically meaningless to him.
Even if it had meaning, he had no reason to accept that money.
Noel’s eyes briefly showed a hint of hurt. “Cecilia, do you think I have no dignity?”
Cecilia was momentarily puzzled.
She didn’t understand what Noel meant by his words. “Dignity?”
Was he really talking about dignity after taking the money?!
She smirked and retorted, “Are you saying you didn’t take the money?”
How dare he talk about dignity after taking the money!
When she went out shopping today, Sue had given her some money. She thought it would cheer Cecilia up if she
bought something nice.
Back then, Cecilia had even called Sue old-fashioned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn this day and age, Sue was still handing her cash. It was heavy in her purse, making it tiring to carry.
Sue had said with authority, “You’re the daughter of the Jarvises. It’s okay if you don’t spend the money. If someone
makes you unhappy, just throw money at them!”
At the time, Cecilia had laughed. “Look at you, acting all lavish! It’s so different from your usual reserved self.”
Why would she throw money at someone?
Originally, she brought it along in her bag to put her mom’s mind at ease, so her mom wouldn’t worry about her.
However, she hadn’t expected Sue’s words to be so accurate.
Just as her mother said, if someone made her unhappy, just throw money at them!
Right now, she couldn’t stand Noel.
Not only did she want to use the money, but she also wanted to take her platinum bag and smack him on the head
with it, leaving him battered and bruised.
However, she still had her decorum. Doing something like throwing money at someone in front of everyone was
already pushing Cecilia to her limit.
Still, it felt satisfying.
She looked at Noel’s expression.
It turned out he had his pride too; he knew what it meant to be embarrassed!
