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.

Noel was beside herself with joy, and went out of her way to brag in front of her family.

After all, she was no longer staying at the family’s mansion, having bought herself

another that was much grander than theirs.

Still, Sue met her in private. She appeared to be happy for Noel, saying that she and

Noel could finally hold their own in the Sachs family. She also added that Plum had

been kept miserably in house arrest at the mansion by Simon himself.

Despite all her fawning, it was clear Sue wanted to win Noel over and take a cut of the

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

siphon off the shares on Sachs Enterprises that Noel owned until
