Chapter 27
Noe once thought her parents were just some down–on–their–luck farmers, but turned out they’ve
been topping the Harmonia Country rich list for over a decade as super tycoons!
It’s just that Marcel yed it super low–key. But darn it, the four Schnabel sons and ra were just too
brilliant, shining like a dazzling pearl on Harmonia’s map.
The Pocks were also one of the top three big shots around.
Palmer suddenly got jittery, his voice trembling without even realizing, “What if you marry into one of
those wealthy families?”
Noe frowned without thinking. Not about marrying into wealth, she hadn’t even considered marriage
at all!
Seeing her frown, Palmer’s heart sank, and he gripped the steering wheel tight.
Noe asked coolly. “What’s it to you?”
He’s not from some fancy family. So Why’s he asking?
Palmer zoned out, sighed, and his smile carried a hint of self–mockery. “You’re right, it’s none of my
business.”
He still got this darn engagement hanging over him, not in any position to say such things to her until it
was called off!
Even if he wanted to take things further, he had to wait till he was free. That was the least respect he
owed Noe!
Noe thought maybe she had been too harsh and stung Palmer a bit.
After all, he still needed to drive an Uber to make ends meet, so his family must have been struggling.
Samest name as Pock, but that kind of wealth was out of his league for life.
She had been too cruel!
“I–didn’t mean it like that. You just focus on your job, work hard, make money. Don’t be jealous of the
rich. Their life might not be your cup of tea.”
“You’re right.”
A big grin spread across Palmer’s face! He chuckled lowly, his voice maic and filled with allure,
echoing in the tight space of the car, making Noe’s heart skip a beat.
Palmer pulled up outside the Schnabelplex and leaned over to unfasten Noe’s seat belt.
“You live here?”
“Yeah, for now.”
Per Beckett’s n, she wouldn’t be there much longer. The transfer of the prime property in

Chapter 27
Serene Haven was moving at Beckett’s breakneck pace, soon to be in Noe’s name.
Noe got out of the car.
Palmer waved and said, “Goodnight.”
He seemed to be smiling, sending a tremor through Noe’s chest. She didn’t look back. hurrying into
theplex.
Palmer waited until she disappeared before turning around and driving toward his ce in Serene
Haven.
Yvonne was sneakily hiding behind some bushes at the gate, trying to make her presence felt to the
Schnabel parents, but instead, she caught Noe getting out of that guy’s car from earlier.
Even the Schnabels‘ grocery nanny would turn her nose up at that car! It couldn’t even get through the
Schnabels‘ gate and had to park outside. Poor Noe had to walk back to her. building, quite a stretch
away!
This guy must have been poor!
Yvonne captured the whole process of Noe getting out of the car, even that sweet smile when she
got out.
All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
This guy must be Noe’s boyfriend!
Country bumpkin to the core, her taste in men just as shabby – even into an Uber driver. How could
she darepete with me?
Yvonne was in high spirits as she walked through the Schnabel gate. She burst into ra’s room and
said, “ra, I think I saw Noe’s boyfriend!”
ra wasn’t in the mood to talk to Yvonne. “It’s middle of the night. Don’t go nuts. You’re just in time to
exin why you messed with myptop and then med Noe for it?”
Yvonne had almost forgotten about theptop data issue!
“It was an ident, ra. I know how important your data is, and I’d never touch it! Believe me, I really
got it wrong. I just wanted to help you clean your desk since you haven’t been home for months!”
ra frowned, trying to read the truth behind that heavily made–up face.
Yvonne quickly tried to lighten the mood, afraid ra wouldsh out. “Look, ra. Noe got out of this
car both day and night, and she was smiling at the driver! Must be her boyfriend!”
Yvonne was so sure, and ra took a look at the video on her phone.
In the video, Noe got into a car, andter she got out at theplex, smiling at the driver.
Could this really be Noe’s boyfriend?!
ra grabbed the phone and watched it repeatedly.

Chapter 27
Yvonne was triumphant! Now let’s see how Noe gets out of this one!
After watching several times. ra held her face and giggled like a lovesick fool. “Noe’s so cute even
when she’s taking a cab!”
Yvonne couldn’t believe it. Had ra lost it? How did she see cuteness in that short clip?
“ra, if Noe has a boyfriend, what about the engagement with the Pocks? She seems to like this
guy. We can’t break them up!”
ra just smiled.
This idiot, all she was thinking about was the Pock engagement!
Did she really think she, a brainless, petnt fool, was a match for a family like the Pocks?
ra ditched the engagement because she wasn’t into guys, had zero interest in the Pock family,
and just wanted to focus on her research. She had a taste of the high life with the Schnabels and got
the cream of the crop when it came to education.
And let’s not forget, all that engagement belonged to Noe!
ra pocketed her phone and gave Yvonne the cold shoulder. “Yvonne, even if Noe didn’t want that
stuff, it’s not your ce to covet it. Whether it’s the Pock or the Schnabel family. they’ve got zilch to
do with you. You better stay in yourne and quit daydreaming.”
Yvonne felt a burning sting on her face! They were both adopted, so why the heck was ra warning
her?
ra must want to snag Palmer for herself, that’s why she’s spewing this stuff!
No way! The Pock and the Schnabel fortunes were hers for the taking!
Yvonne glowered at ra’s icy back and ground her teeth before sneakily dialing Ashlyn’s number.
“Grandma, I totally saw Noe romancing some broke dude. Why won’t ra believe me?” Ashlyn
chuckled with an air of mystery. “Silly girl, your proof ain’t packing a punch. If ra doesn’t buy it, take
it to the masses. They’re making a big to–do about Noe’s birthday party. right? Drop the bomb then
and let her face–nt in high society. Let’s see how the Schnabels protect her then!”
For swanky families like the Schnabels, reputation is everything.
Ashlyn coaxed, “If they find out Noe’s been mixing with a penniless guy, think Palmer would give her
a second nce? He’ll see who the perfect match is soon enough, and if Palmer gives you the nod,
you’ll be the legit Schnabel heiress!”
Ashlyn wasn’t sweating it. Palmer wouldn’t pick a wild child who didn’t know the first thing about
decorum to be the Pock family’s future matriarch.
Yvonne was all revved up! “Grandma, I’ve got my game n!”
