CHapter 224
The room fell into a deafening silence. The person seated next to Rainer clearly didn’t buy his
exnation.
“A good kid? You know precisely the kind of hardcore training she’s been through. On one hand,
you call Garrick a madman, but you weren’t exactly pulling your punches during training sessions,
were you?”
“It was all Noelia’s choice”
Rainer’s first lesson to Noe wasn’t about the zither; it was about taking a life!
When Noc first pulled the trigger, ending the lives of those who had taken the Fuller family’s
money and left her stranded on the outskirts, she changed!
Master Rainer had never seen such resilience in a child!
Tears filled her eyes, yet she told Rainer with utter determination, “I’ll give anything to be
stronger!”
She
was a miracle created by Pris Star. Without any drugs to enhance her brain, Pris Star had
nurtured an exceptional prodigy!
The training methods were indeed harsh, and initially, the new members of Pris Star didn’t
acknowledge this leader. But after witnessing the grueling training Noe endured, they joined in,
only to realize they couldn’t keep up!
Later, when Noe led them away from the original Pris Star, those members became her loyal
subordinates and partners.
The person next to Rainer scoffed again. “You had already decided to break away from your old ties
and conveniently ced your bets on that girl, just to ensure the current members of Pris Star
rallied behind her. All this, for one girl’s sake? You guys are so boring.”
Master Rainer didn’t find it boring in the slightest, his tone even carried a hint of pride. “What do
you know? You have no idea how formidable Noe is!”
She was their brightest apprentice. If she desired the moon and the stars, they would move heaven
and earth to obtain them. If they couldn’t, it wasn’t because her demands were too high; it was them
who failed her.
The person sitting beside Rainer was evidently at a loss for words against his oblivious affection.
What kind of magic did Noe possess?
The room quieted down once more.
In an adjacent private booth, Palmer leisurely watched the numbers flicker on the electronic screen.
“I need this information. Fiancée, bid higher for me, whatever the cost.”
*Alright
Palmer was after information on recent activities in a renowned economic development zone.
It seemed like a regr business tip, with not many people showing interest. However, one private
booth keptpeting with Noe’s
bids.
The price stopped at six million five hundred thousand.
Noe didn’t bid higher. “This information isn’t worth that much. Are you sure you want to keep
raising the stakes?”
“Your word isw.”
Noe was left speechless.
It was he who wanted to outsmart thepetitors from the Pock family, yet now it seemed she
was calling the shots?
Noe nced at him, her gaze light. “Did you leak this information?”
“How smart! My fiancée is indeed in tune with my thoughts.”
* No one knew Palmer better than the Pock family, but Palmer also knew the Pock family
better than anyone else!
He was aware of their interests and conveniently had the information they craved, so selling it was
no big deal.
Thend in the economic development zone was already in his possession anyway. He didn’t mind
shifting all the money from the Pock family’s pockets into his own.
Palmer was adept at such schemes and knew exactly how to drive them to bankruptcy. He didn’t
relish their sudden demise, but rather enjoyed watching them helplessly lose their fortunes! They
had hurt his mother for money; he wouldn’t hesitate to take theirs!
When Palmer had his fill of y, it would be time to close the.
Noemented without mincing words. “You’re quite ruthless.”
“Thank you for thepliment, my fiancée.”
The auction soon ended, and Palmer, once again, fitted Noe’s mask and took her hand, leading
her out of the room.

Master Rainer waved a dismissive hand. “It’s trash in and simple. I gave it away because of that!

“Gott
Master Rainer as brisk in his departure as he was in amval, left soon after giving his instructions.
At the grand entrance to Schnabel Manor, a car pulled up, and Noe unclipped her seat belt to
step out.
Palmer, however, showed no signs of leaving the vehicle.
“There’s a bit of a situation at thepany that needs my attention. You’ve had a long day. Get
some rest and sweet dreams,” he said, with a hint of concern.
Noe looked at him with a mix of amusement and exasperation. “I’m not convinced your body can
handle any more stress.”
Such a stubborn patient!
Palmer drew her hand towards him and kissed the back of it softly. “Then I’ll stay. Grandpa can
handle things for a day or two.”

The old man could take a little hassle without much trouble.
Seeing Noe’s frown of concern, a surge of joy filled him. Could it be a sign that she was starting
to care for him too?
Noe withdrew her hand. “Ttle by to change your dressing tomorrow.”
“Perfect III be waiting”
Noe turned and strode back to her room. Upon entering, she was greeted by an unexpected
sight–someone was on her bed!
