Chapter 366


    The hall was bustling with guests. It seemed like everyone had made it.


    All eyes were on Noelle as she helped Samuel settle into a quiet corner, with Charles and


    Sebastian taking seats nearby. The unppable Charles naturally became the center of attention,


    and by


    association, so did Noelle.


    Everyone was whispering about the girl who was helping Samuel. Some knew her and started


    whispering among themselves that Charles was sitting with Samuel and Sebastian. It looked like


    the two old men wanted to introduce her to Charles.


    Winter and Xavier walked up to them just in time to catch the whispers. They both gripped their


    sses tighter, looking upset.


    “Grandpa, Granddad, you made it!” Winter said, beaming as she took Xavier’s hand. “Noelle, you’re


    here too!”


    Samuel and Sebastian just nodded and did not say much. Winter stood next to Noelle, smiling wide.


    “I’m so d you coulde, Noelle.” Then she looked at Charles. “And Charles is here too!”


    Noelle gave a tiny shiver, almost losing herposure. She nced at Winter, then at Charles.


    Winter was trying to chat with Charles, all smiles, but Charles did not even look at her. Winter felt


    awkward, and Xavier did too.


    Xavier could not take his eyes off Noelle and Charles. He had overheard the whispers earlier, but


    he refused to believe them. The idea that the Shaw family patriarch would concoct such a scheme


    seemed unbelievable. Charles was the kind of man who did not like others poking their noses into


    his business. However, his current demeanor left Xavier feeling unsure.


    “Charles, you’re here too!” Xavier said as he took a ss and filled it with wine for Charles. “I’m so


    d you could make it to my wedding.”

    Charles gave him a small smile and looked at him. “Congrattions on your wedding!” he said,


    which was a rare response from him. Then he tapped the table with his long fingers. “I need to drive


    later, so I’ll pass on more wine. Ronald!”


    At Charles’s words, Ronald hurried over. “Mr. Hoffman!


    With a discreet nce, Charles signaled Ronald, who quickly pulled a document envelope from his


    briefcase and handed it to Xavier. “This is Mr. Hoffman’s wedding gift to Mr. Harris and Ms. Shaw!”


    Xavier and Winter looked at each other before epting the envelope. “Thank you, Charles!”


    Charles gave them a slight nod. “Today’s your big day, so go mingle with your guests. Don’t worry


    about me. I’ll catch up with Sir Shaw and Sir Jones.” With that, Charles did not look Xavier’s way


    again.


    Xavier knew he was being brushed off, and he could not hide his disappointment. He nced at


    Noelle, hoping for her attention, but she did not even look his way, which made him even more


    upset. Still, with all the guests around, he kept his cool.


    “Well, Winter and I will go say hi to everyone. Sorry if we’ve been a bit rude.”


    Winter stood by Noelle, feeling a little annoyed. It was her wedding, but she felt like she was not the

    of the show for some reason. Noelle should be sad, right? Why did she seem just fine?


    “Noelle, it’s my wedding day. Don’t you have any blessings for me?”


    Noelle looked up, still holding her cup. Winter’s question made her pause, a sh of surprise in her


    eyes. Then she smiled and said, “Of course I have blessings for you on your special day.”
