A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 399

Noel was attending the charity ball too, but as board chairwoman of Sachs

Enterprises.

Sachs Enterprises would never make the list of the Stuarts’ grandest annual charity

ball, and it was Jessica who personally extended an invitation to Noel. Jessica said

that since they were partners, she should give Noel more opportunities if it was within

her abilities.

Sachs’s family estate. However, Noel was no pushover. She grew up watching Sue,

and knew very well what Sue was scheming-once Sue earned Noel’s favor, she would
