Chapter 279
Oriana escorted the Lambert family to the grand entrance of Serene Haven’s Phoenix Tower.
Phoenix Tower, the crown jewel of Serene Haven, stood majestically among the rest. Its presence was
highlighted by a massive dragon and phoenix fountain at its forefront, dazzling in gold and splendor.
Surrounding it were sculptures of the zodiac animals, each crafted in pure gold!
?
Oriana noticed Vincent’s awe–struck expression and couldn’t help butbel him a country bumpkin in
her mind- utterly unworldly, She figured Noe must be the same.
“These sculptures weremissioned by the Schnabel family to distinguish them from historical
artifacts. Made of gold, but really, they’re not worth much.”
Gold, yet not worth much?
Vincent’s understanding of the Schnabel family’s wealth was being constantly updated.
Phoenix Tower was enveloped in lush greenery, with every nt being an expensive specimen. Even
the weing pine at the entrance was a rare treasure wo
more than a million!
Just by looking, Vincent could tell how valuable the tree was. He once wanted to get a simr one for
the
Lambert Mansion, but no one would sell it to him.
Oriana hung around after delivering her guests, curious to watch the unfolding scene.
A car pulled up at the entrance, and Vincent excitedly proimed, “That must be Noe returning!”
The car door opened, revealing a pair of slender legs stepping onto the ground, followed by a cascade
of silky hair flowing down as the young girl leaned forward. Her face was a mix of cool detachment and
an indescribable allure. Despite her youth, she possessed a captivating charm, yet her expression was
icy, sending shivers down one’s spine.
Vincent had never seen Noe look so stunning! It seemed the Schnabel family must really cherish
their
daughter.
“Noe, oh! Daddy missed you so much!”

Noe frowned slightly. “Vincent? What are you doing here?”
“Noe, what kind of talk is that? Your mom and I just wanted to see you, that’s all!”
Vincent and Belinda’s appearance here was clearly driven by their discovery of Noe’s real identity,
envious of her status. It must have been Briony who contacted them, seeking to gain favor from the
Schnabel family.
Noe knew all too well what kind of people Vincent and Belinda were- greedy and shameless, with
eyes only for profit. Now aware of the Schnabel family’s status, they wouldn’t rest until they got a piece
of it.
ra emerged from the car, eyeing Vincent and Belinda.
“Noe, howe these trash still have the energy to show up? They’ve announced cutting ties with
you
in the papers, and now they’re Sti

Vincent’s face turned sour. “It was all a misunderstanding, Noe! The newspaper thing was the
housekeeper’s fault; your mom and I would never agree to such a thing!”
Oriana chimed in, supporting them. “Yeah, Noe, they are still your parents, after all. Being so

isn’t right.”
Noe nced at Oriana coldly. “Oh, you again, the brainless wonder. Seems like your brain’s made a
permanent home for your intestines. I thought it was just a one–time mistake, but now it’s clear your
head’s really just filled with guts.”
Oriana was speechless.
Noe’s words reminded Oriana of the humiliation she faced in front of everyone at college, all thanks
to
Noe!
“Noe, I’m only speaking the truth. Your parents are getting old; it’s you for years. You can’t treat them
like this!”

Noe crossed her arms, looking down her nose at Oriana. “Moral ckmail? Sorry, I’m fresh out of
morals. If you like these kinds of parents so much, they’re all yours.”
Without giving Oriana another nce, No
turned away.
ra added, “Allowing unauthorized entry into Serene Haven, I’ll have to speak with security about
this. This girl’s security awareness is shockinglyx.”
Past the fountain was strictly Phoenix Tower territory.
“Private property, trespassers not wee. Invading someone’s home, wonder how, many years that
gets you?”
Oriana panicked at ra’s words. She had always admired the view from afar, never having the
chance to step inside. Only because these two imed to be Noe’s foster parents did Oriana think to
guilt–trip Noe, hoping not to be prosecuted. Maybe even catch a glimpse of her idol, Stirling, within
the Schnabel family.
But hearing ra’s threat, Oriana quickly made her escape, leaving Vincent and Belinda stranded.
Despite seeing Phoenix Tower’s grandeur, Vincent and Belinda refused to leave!
Such a vast vi in the heart of Imperial City, all for Noe!
It would be quite reasonable for Noe to hand it over to them, right?
Their faces were etched with repulsive greed.
Palmer and Jacob were handling the Pock family’s affairs at the resort, so Noe and ra left first.
ra nced back at the persistent Lambert couple. “Noe, should we throw them out?”
“No need, let them in. It’s easier to deal with them indoors. I hate the thought of them sullying the
flowers Mother adores.” Noe’s expression was nk, but her eyes were cold as ice.
Last time around, Larson and Eamon’s move on Noe had Beckett spooked big time. In response,
Beckett got a squad of mercenaries as bodyguards in Serene Haven.
Vincent and Belinda had the guts to show up, so Noe figured she might as well roll out the red carpet
for them!
Following Noe into the grand entrance of the Schnabel Manor, Vincent and Belinda almost got
knocked off their feet by the sheer opulence!
Just one painting from the Schnabel collection could easily snap up a couple of the Lamberts‘ swanky

pads in Tranquility City.
The new nanny of the Schnabel family nced at Vincent and Belinda and eximed in surprise, “My,
what do we have here? A pair of street performers, perhaps? If you’re here for a nanny job interview,
those outfits won’t do. Don’t even think abouting inside!”
There was Vincent, still perched in his wheelchair, mud caking the wheels!
Belinda nearly fainted at the sight of the family’s wealth.

Beckett, now in his casual wear, came down with a coffee in hand, eyeing Vincent and Belinda at the
doorstep.
“Noe, how did they get in? Are they bothering you? Just say the word, and I’ll have them escorted
out.”.
Noe just shook her head gently. “It’s all right. Let them stand at the door.”
Catching Noe’s drift, Beckett didn’t press further but turned to summon Marcel.
Marcel, with a demeanor thatmanded respect, gave Vincent and Belinda a look that sent shivers
down their spine.
Seeing these two reminded him of their cruelty towards Noe and Harriet!
Had Vincent ensured a blissful life for Harriet and a worry–free old age, had he allowed Noe a happy
childhood and a chance to grow up well, the Schnabel family would have surelypensated the
Lambert family generously! But Vincent’s treatment of Harriet and Noe amounted to nothing short of
abuse!
Marcel let out a deep sigh, trying to contain his rage.
“Come over here, you two!” he called out to Noe and ra, worried they might get tainted by the
negative vibes radiating from Vincent and his wife.
“What brings you here?”
Vincent, with a sycophantic smile stered on his face, said, “We just missed Noe, thought we’d
drop by to see her.”
