Noelle glanced back and saw Winter holding her hand. “Noelle, can we please talk?”

Noelle pulled her hand away, feeling a bit annoyed. “There’s nothing to talk about. I can’t stay with Grandpa tonight, so I’m heading home. I’ll visit Grandpa tomorrow!”

Noelle tried to leave, but Jade wouldn’t have it. “Noelle, stop right there!”

Noelle hesitated, then kept walking without looking back. Jade, who was in a huff, yanked Noelle’s hand so hard she nearly stumbled. Noelle braced herself against the wall and looked at her with a frown. “What do you want now?”

“We’re going to clear this up today, or you’re not going anywhere!” Jade was fuming. Feeling ignored by Noelle, she remembered the upsetting things Samuel had said that evening again. Her anger flared up. Spill it! Did you trick Grandpa into giving you City Ring Corp.’s shares?”

Noelle squinted her eyes. “Trick?” She thought Jade was being ridiculous. “What are you trying to say, Mom?”

“What do you think I’m trying to say? Grandpa’s old, yet you’re taking advantage of him? Don’t play dumb with me. You’re not close to us, so you sucked up to Grandpa for his shares, right?”

“So, you really think I’ve only been pretending to care about Grandpa to get his shares?” Noelle was shocked to hear those words from Jade. “I thought you didn’t like me because I did something wrong. But now, it’s clear that it’s not me who’s in the wrong–it’s you. I care about Grandpa grandfather, not because of his shares.”

“Fine. If that’s how it is, give up the shares,” Jade challenged, not buying Noelle’s words. “Give them to your sister, then I’ll believe you. I’ll start treating you better, too!”

Noelle let out a bitter laugh. She felt so sad. She never imagined she would have to use such tactics to get even a little bit of motherly love.

Biting her lip, Noelle struggled to stay calm. She looked up at Julian and Xavier, who had been quiet the whole time. They were looking at her with the same expression, and Noelle realized just how much she had failed.

“You all seem to want the shares so badly, so just wait for Grandpa to wake up. He can give them to whoever he wan

and I won’t complain about his decision. But for now, I won’t give anything to you, be it shares or anything else!”

“You little brat!” Jade tried to hit Noelle but was pushed away hard.

“Everyone has their limits. I’m sure even you know that, Mother. I have some patience, but it’s not endless. It’s been wearing thin over the years, and once it’s gone, it’ll be gone for good!”

Noelle’s voice was as frigid as ice, just like Charles‘. She was surrounded by an icy aura, her eyes clear yet frosty.

She squeezed her fists tight, then released them. “You people better behave!”

Noelle walked away with firm steps, her demeanor so different from when she first arrived at the hospital. Her heart, which was once warm with affection for Julian and Jade, now felt frigid. She had nearly erased
