“Noelle, wait!”

Noelle was already at the hospital’s main entrance when Xavier’s voice rang out from behind her.

She paused and watched as he made his way toward her.

Xavier hurried over to stand before Noelle. He smiled at her. “Noelle, was everything you saidtrue?”

Noelle narrowed her eyes and gave Xavier a wary look. “What are you referring to?” Based on thelook in Xavier’s eyes, she had already figured out what he was talking about. Sure enough, heasked, “Did Grandpa Shaw really give those shares to you? You were lying when you said you’dgiven ownership of them to someone else, weren’t you?”

Noelle’s eyes remained narrowed as she burst into laughter. “Do you think I was lying or telling thetruth?” She chose to answer his question with another question, and that visibly stunned Xavier. Hefrowned, seemingly displeased by her attitude. “I asked you first.”

Noelle pursed her lips, a sudden wave of annoyance toward Xavier washing over her. Shewondered how she had such bad taste in the past to fall for a man like him.

“I don’t think it’s any of your business who owns those shares, Mr. Harrison!” Noelle said sternly.“After all, you’re not part of the Shaw family.”

“How is it none of my business?!” Xavier asked, flustered. “We… You and I…”

“You and I?” Noelle scoffed. “You and I have nothing to do with each other, which means that youhave no right to ask about those shares and whether I own them or not!”

“Noelle!” Xavier frowned. “How could you say that?! Have you forgotten how happy you were andhow much you loved me when we were together? Have your feelings changed after so little timehas passed?”

“Have my feelings changed? Xavier Harrison, have you no shame?” Noelle was truly offended byXavier’s words and actions. “Which one of us was the first to betray the relationship? You betrayedme by getting with my sister, so don’t forget that you wronged me first. Don’t accuse me of notbeing loyal to the relationship. Yes, I used to have feelings for you, but that’s all in the past. Did youthink I’d have so little respect for myself that I’d willingly let you insult me? I’m not that lowly!”

Noelle gritted her teeth. “What are you trying to say? If there’s nothing else you want to talk about,I’ve got other matters to attend to and no time to waste with you!” As she turned to walk away,Xavier grabbed her hand and forcefully stopped her from leaving. “Noelle, do things between usreally have to end this way?”

“I’m sure you know that Winter and I don’t love each other. You’re the one I’m in love with, and Ionly got together with her because she…”

“That’s enough!” Noelle wrestled herself free of Xavier’s grasp, a cold look in her eyes. She hadlong since

that he could do or say that would change her impression of given up on Xavier, and there was

Charles. “Your relationship with Winter has nothing to do with me.”

“How could it have nothing to do with you, Noelle? You’re the one I’m in love with. If you had…”

“What about me?” Noelle scoffed. “Are you going to tell me that if I’d gained ownership of City RingCorp’s

shares earlier, you would’ve never got together with Winter?” Noelle gritted her teeth. “You’redespicable, Xavier Harrison. Don’t destroy what little goodwill I have left toward you now.”

Noelle gave Xavier one last look. “Since you’re with Winter now, you should stop causing so muchtrouble. Don’t think that I’m an easy target for you to pick on. I won’t hold back if you guys cross myboundaries!”
