Chapter 259 Chapter 259 Noelle's face grimaced as she touched her slapped cheek, but she went to help Samuel. "Grandpa, you should be resting. Lethelp you back to bed." Samuel waved his hand and gently patted Noelle's hand. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I've been feeling better for quite stime!" he assured her. Then, he turned to Jade with a stern look. "I gave those shares to Noelle. They're hers now, and she can do what she wants with them. If you want to talk about outsiders, you should consider how you're disgracing the family now, not Noelle." "Dad, how can you say that?” Jade gasped in shock. “You know we would never give away City Ring Corp.'s shares to strangers!" "Is that so?" Samuel scoffed. "It seems tolike that's exactly what you're planning to do. Don't think I don't know what's going on just because I'm old. You're not fooling me." His sharp gaze made Jade uneasy, but she quickly replied, "Julian, Winter, and I are all Shaw family members. Our shares would never go to outsiders. Noelle won't even say who she gave her shares to, Dad..." "That's enough!" Samuel cut her off. "If you have so much free time, you should focus on taking care of Winter. Make sure she doesn't embarrass us. Leave Noelle's business toand her grandfather. It seems you're too busy to care for both your children anyway." "Dad..." “I need to rest now, so you should head back,” Samuel said, clearly done with Jade. He turned and walked into the hospital room with Noelle, leaving Jade alone at the door, her fists clenched and her teeth gritted in anger. She could not believe that Samuel, the stubborn old man, was so nice to Noelle. She also could not believe that Noelle managed to charm both Samuel and Sebastian so easily.
Once Noelle helped Samuel sit down, she opened the thermos and smiled warmly. "Grandpa, you won't have to worry about these things from now on!" "I don't need to worry about you?" Samuel did not agree. He looked at the bruise on Noelle's cheek and said tenderly, "Silly girl, why didn't you dodge when she hit you?" Noelle's eyes twinkled with a mix of emotions as she tried to smile, but it hurt her cheek, making her wince. "Grandpa, you know my mom. If I had dodged, she would've just tried again. And I really didn't see it coming!" It seemed Noelle was used to this kind of treatment. "Grandpa, you're not fully recovered yet. Why are you out of bed?" "If I hadn't checked on you, would you have been able to handle your mom so quickly?" Samuel said, getting upset at the thought of Jade. He took the soup bowl from Noelle, sighed, and said, "I know you've been treated unfairly. Your mom..." "Let's not talk about her, Grandpa," Noelle said, trying to change the subject. "Try the soup I made you this morning, okay?" Samuel looked at Noelle, shook his head with a smile, and took a sniff of the soup. "It smells 1/2
delicious. Noelle, your cooking just m keeps getting better."
"Grandpa, if you like it, have smore!" Noelle said as she pulled up a little stool to sit down. I bought chicken just for you, and Charles said it smells great.”
Samuel smiled with his eyes, clearly happy. "Charles really lookout for you, doesn't he?" ☐ X
