The Cherished Wife by Chweety

Chapter 160 Chapter 160 Noelle's heart clenched sharply as she gripped the phone tighter. She closed her eyes, taking a moment to calm herself. “Mom, do you really not understand the reason why I haven't been going home?" "You..." Jade had not heard Noelle say a word until then. She had thought Noelle was still the sold pushover, easy for her to control. However, to her surprise, Noelle cut her off. “What the hell are you trying to say here?" Noelle said with a sad smile, "What do you think, Mom? You know exactly what I mean. Why did you call?" Noelle knew her mom well. Jade would not bother with her unless it was something big.

Jade snapped, “Cback home! Don't you forget, this is your home. Your grandpa treats you so well, you "I'm really busy right now!" Noelle cut in without hesitation. She would definitely visit Samuel because he had always been kind to her. However, he understood her and would not ask her to cback, so Jade's excuse was not going to work.

Jade said through clenched teeth, "Busy, always busy. What's keeping you so busy? You're just working for someone else. I'm warning you, if you don't cback today..." Noelle asked with a weary smile, "What will you do? Mom, I'm your daughter too. If you cared abouta little more, I wouldn't dread going home." Jade was furious at Noelle's words. "What are you trying to say? Is this my fault? Noelle, I'm warning you, if you don't cback today, you'll be sorry." Noelle's eyes narrowed as a thought flashed through her mind, and a wave of unease washed over her Sorry for what?" "That day, someone caught on camera all the embarrassing things you did with Mr. York. You'll regret it if you don't cback, so cback right now!" Jade smugly demanded.

"Mom, what could there possibly be betweenand Mr. York? I've never even met him." Noelle said, leaving Jade speechless.

"You..." "Or are you trying to say that you and father planned that whole incident? Mom, I'm your daughter too. Why did you do that?" Noelle's voice shook a little. Deep down, she kept telling herself not to get angry. Was this not something she already knew? Yet, she could not calm her heart.

"There's no reason. City Ring Corp. needs money, and Mr. York is willing to provide it. If you still think of yourself as my daughter, then cback. If not, I'll make this public. It's your choice!" Noelle's voice was a low growl, "Mom! Are you really going to do this?" Jade declared, "Yes, it's the only way. You know Simon is Mr. York, and the York family is way better off than our Shaw family, right? If you becSimon's, all that the York family has will be yours one day. I've arranged everything for you. You'll thankfor all this one day." "Thank you?" Noelle had had enough of Jade. She knew that whatever Jade was holding onto was not safe for her. Jade would do anything for Winter, and the thought of her giving it to Winter made Noelle's stomach turn.

After catching a glimpse of Xavier's face, she took a deep breath. “Xavier, this is the last tI'm going to say this-stop doing things that grossout." She reached out and peeled Xavier's fingers away one by one. "We really should keep our distance at work!" "Noelle!" Xavier watched Noelle walk away. Feeling frustrated, he punched the elevator door, startling the nearby employees. "Mr. Harris!" "What are you doing here?" Joseph's voice cfrom behind Xavier, making him panic. “Dad!" Joseph gave Xavier a fierce look. "How many times do I have to tell you to behave at the company? You're engaged to Winter, so leave Noelle alone!" Joseph was so disappointed with his son, wishing he could just shape up. "You need to know what you really want!" Xavier scowled. “But Dad, Noelle and I really love each other." He did not want to be with Winter. He just wanted her shares and the company. Even though he was attracted to Winter, he did not love her.

"Love? There's nothing in this world that can't be bought with money. Wait until you get your hands on the shares and then you'll see that I'm right," Joseph said with a hard stare at Xavier. "Just look at yourself, I'm warning you, if I catch you mixed up with Noelle again, you'll be sorry." Xavier mumbled, "I got it." "This is a crucial tfor the company. There's strouble at Collosus Group. Go find out what's happening." "Yes!" After Noelle got away from Xavier in the elevator, she was feeling all kinds of uncomfortable. When she saw Jade's non her ringing phone, her mood went from bad to worse.

She watched the phone light up and go dark over and over until finally, with a sigh, she picked up. Jade's voice cthrough sharp and clear, "What's with you? Why haven't you been answering?" Jade sounded really upset. Noelle knew all too well how Jade felt about her, but it still hurt. She just could not figure out why Jade was so nice to Winter but treated her like she was the enemy even though they were both her kids.

Noelle nibbled on her lip and let out a silent, sad chuckle. "I was busy at work and didn't hear the phone. Do you needfor something, Mom?" No matter how upset she was, Jade was the woman who had brought her into the world and cared for her. Noelle could not forget that, even if she was angry Jade just huffed. "Is your job more important than your own mother? It seems like you're not takingseriously anymore." Noelle mumbled, "That's not true, Mom. I was really working. Is there something you want?" Jade snapped, “Do I need a reason to call my daughter? Look at yourself. I'm your mom. You should be the one coming to me, not the other way around. You're acting too big for your boots!" Jade's words were sharp and mean, not at all how a mother should talk to her child.

No matter how much it hurt, Noelle could not talk back to Jade. She could only say, "Work's been really busy lately, I-" "Busy, busy, busy. That's all I hear. Your sister's a big star. Are you busier than her? You're being disrespectful. She always makes tto visitand calls to check on me. What about you? "You moved out, and now, you won't even chome.
