Chapter 280 "Pfft!" Noelle could not help but laugh. "Do you think Grandpa will buy that?" Noelle gave Charles a once- over before adding, "You don't seem like the kind to pester someone!" Charles raised an eyebrow as he reached out to tap her on the nose. "That might not necessarily be the case!" Noelle smacked his hand out of the way. "Hmph, then I'll say that tomorrow, and we'll see whether Grandpa believes you or not." After giving it sthought, Noelle realized it truly was the only explanation they could give.

Since Charles brought that up, Noelle was reminded of something that had happened. "I wasn't expecting your predictions to be so accurate." "Oh?" Charles led Noelle into their bedroom and began taking off his jacket. When he heard what Noelle said, he put his jacket down and motioned for her to continue.
She bit down on her lip as she picked up his jacket so that she could hang it up. "I went to the garden house today because Teresa wantedto take a look at the account statements, and she mentioned that my mother and Winter were at the garden house as well!" "What were they doing at the garden house?" Charles asked, his eyebrows furrowing together. "Were they there to cause you trouble?" Noelle shook her head. "They don't know I own the garden house." Charles nodded. "Now that you mention it, that's true! Then, why were they there?" "They were there to talk to Xavier's mom about his and Winter's wedding!" Noelle replied, and when she noticed that Charles merely nodded in response without showing any signs of surprise, she asked, "You had guessed it already, hadn't you?" She was not surprised when Charles nodded. "You know as well the plan that Joseph is hatching, and there's no way he would let this opportunity slip through his fingers," Charles said as he gave Noelle a long, meaningful look.
Noelle nodded. There was a stunned look on her face as she asked, "So, Xavier went to kick up that fuss at my apartment previously because of his marriage to Winter as well?" She bit down on her lip, and after giving it sthought, she added, “His attitude towardchanged after learning that Grandpa transferred ownership of the stocks to me. He said sreally weird stuff as well!" "He wanted to get back with you? Did he say that his relationship with Winter was all for show, and he only did it for the shares she owned?" Charles asked softly, his voice tinged with disdain.
Noelle was not at all surprised that Charles knew that. After all, given how smart he was, it would not be difficult for him to arrive at those answers.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes, that's what he said. But I just don't understand why he thinks I would forgive him after he lied toand betrayed me. I'm not stupid!" Charles scoffed. "That's true, you're not stupid. He's the one who's an idiot." It was not difficult to discern the disdain Charles held toward Xavier. He truly had no respect for him.
Noelle knew the sort of ploy Xavier was trying to hatch, and Charles had an even better understanding of it Perhaps Xavier genuinely once had feelings for Noelle, but since he had abandoned her once because of material belongings, there was no way he was trying to get back with her now because of true love.
She chuckled. "Let's not talk about him anymore. But the fact that hel and Winter are getting married might be beneficial for me!"
Noelle was no longer the old version of herself. She would not cry over the fact that Xavier and Winter werd getting hari getting married. Now, she was only thinking about how Xavier would stop bothering her all the tbecause he was marrying Winter. Meanwhile, she could not care less about the going-ons of his relationship with Winter.
"I'm glad that's the way you're viewing it!" Charles ruffled Noelle's long hair. "Shall we go out for dinner today?" X
