    ?


    Peter said he knew nothing about such feelings, but he knew better than anyone he had waited a year-no, ten years-and he had endured it all. Charles reached out and patted Peter''s shoulder. "In that case, hurry up and get the West City project done for me. After that, whatever you do with Lennon Group is none of my business."


    Peter smiled faintly. He brushed Charles'' hand off his shoulder and stood up. The two equally formidable men faced each other, neither losing ground.


    "You''ve got it all nned out, haven''t you? The West City project won''t be finished in a year or two. Are you trying to dy Tania''s return?" Charles narrowed his eyes. "Or maybe you''ve got a better n? Do you even know where Tania is now?"


    Peter pressed his lips together. "Charles, if you ever fall into my hands, I''ll make sure you experience what this feels like!" Charles smirked. "We''ll see when that dayes." He then asked, "How''s the investigation I asked you to dost time?"


    Peter raised an eyebrow, his skeptical gaze fixed on Charles. "Are you that eager to know Noelle''s background?"


    "It''s not about wanting to know; it''s about cutting her ties with the Shaw family." Without doing so, his rtionship with Noelle would never run smoothly.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    The Shaw family was like a ticking time bomb. Although they did not pose much of a threat, desperate people could be unpredictable. Their attitude toward Noelle was peculiar, and there were too many secrets surrounding her.


    The Hoffmans were not easy to deal with either. Apart from risse''s strong opposition, Maxwell would also be against it. Hence, Charles needed to sever Noelle''s connections with the Shaw family as soon as possible.


    This was why Charles agreed to Noelle''s request to keep their rtionship private for the time being. Once their rtionship went public, both the Hoffmans and the Bakers would set their sights on Noelle.

    Even though Charles could protect her, he was not sure of her thoughts or the unpredictable elements in y. Charles never did anything he was not confident about. Until these hidden threats were dealt with, he agreed it was best not to make their rtionship known. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

    "Noelle likely isn''t Jade''s daughter, and as for whether she''s Julian''s daughter, I still need to verify that. It''s tricky because Noelle is already in her 20s. If she really isn''t Jade''s or the Shaw family''s child, we''d have to investigate from over 20 years ago. Content belongs to

    "But something is definitely off. Both Sebastian and Samuel treat Noelle as if they owe her something."


    Charles frowned. He had noticed

    that too. If Sebastian and Samuel were unaware of Noelle''s true background, their behavior would seem normal, but then the rest of the Shaw family''s actions would not make sense. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org


    If the two did know, then it was their behavior that was peculiar.


    "I found out that apart from Samuel transferring his shares to Noelle, Sebastian has also arranged to leave all his assets, including real estate, to Noelle. But this will only happen after his death.


    "Don''t you find that odd? Jade is Sebastian''s daughter, and Winter is his granddaughter, so why does Sebastian''s will and estate nning exclude both of them and only mention Noelle?"


    Peter shared the findings from his recent investigation with Charles, who was deep in thought.


    "What else?" Charles asked.


    "What else?"
