The Cherished Wife

Chapter 155



Julian's brows creased with worry. "What about Noelle?"

"She has never repaid us with anything. It's only fair she helps the Shaw family now," Jade's biting words floated to Winter, who was surprised but kept listening.

Julian was getting upset. "You've lost it! I told you we're not talking about this again. Do you want the whole world to find out?"

Jade shrugged. "Why worry? I'm over it, and it's not even your problem."

She added with a scowl, "We never should've brought that troublemaker home. Look how Dad's acting now."

Julian cut her off, "That's enough! I need to think this over."

"What's there to think about? Don't forget about the Yorks..."

"Enough. I've got to figure out how to bring Noelle back home!" Julian glared at Jade. "I know you don't like her, but do you think I do? Dad's no fool, and he knows what's going on."

Jade stopped talking, though she was clearly upset. She could not help but take her anger out on Noelle.
