NovelEnglishChapter 229 Chapter 229 "What do you plan on doing?" Charles asked, a slight frown creeping across his face. "Do you need my help?" "Not yet," Noelle said as she shook her head. She did not want to sit back and do nothing while Charles took care of everything for her.
"I've already told them that I won't pose a threat to them as long as they don't do anything funny with the shares they now hold. If they try getting up to any funny business, I'll use the power I hold from the shares currently own to assert dominance over them!" Charles pursed his lips together as Noelle gazed at him nervously. "What's wrong? Have I said something wrong?" "No, no. You're doing things right." He just did not want Noelle to get involved so soon. The Shaw family did not pose a massive threat, but at the end of the day, they were Noelle's parents, and he wanted to delay the ruthless treatment for as long as possible.

You'll need to ensure you have a massive advantage over them if that's what you plan on doing. Do you understand what I'm getting at?" Noelle's heart sank. "I'm sure you know that I'm reluctant to get involved, but I understand everything you're talking about. These are all the shares I own for now, though." Samuel had given her plenty. The 15% he had given her previously and another 25% he had given her on yet another occasion meant Noelle owned a total of 40% of the company's shares.
That was a greater sum than anyone else in the Shaw family. "Are you saying I should buy off shares from someone else?" It was only today that Noelle learned that the agreement Samuel had asked her to sign previously was a fake and the one that cafter was the real one. She had not taken a close look back then and only learned that her grandfather had left all his shares to her when they spoke in the ward earlier.
No wonder her parents were so flustered.
Even Noelle, who was not well-versed in this area, understood what ownership of 40% of a company's shares meant.
"I'll take care of this. You don't have to worry," Charles said as he got up to clear the table.
Noelle hurriedly followed suit. "I'll do it!" However, Charles placed a hand on Noelle's and shook his head slightly. "Go take a seat. I'll clean up!” Noelle removed her hands but followed Charles into the kitchen and gazed at him. "I always thought that since you were from a rich family, you wouldn't do all these chores." Charles paused. "Then, what did you think I'd do?" Noelle gave it sthought before answering, “Eating and drinking to your heart's content and just 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 229 having a jolly good time!"

Noelle gazed at the slight smile on Charles' face and caught sight of the loneliness in his eyes. Walking over, she leaned her head against his back before wrapping her arms around his waist and hugging him tightly. “Thank you, Charles!"
"Oh?" Charles could smell the fragrance emanating from her as well as hear the loneliness in her tone! The sudden embrace had him spreading his arms open so that she could hug him as she liked. "Why are you thanking me?" "Thank you for givinga home." It was only now that Noelle finally felt like she and Charles were a couple and a family of their own.
Though she had parents and a sister, she rarely felt any warmth or familial love from them. No one, other than her maternal and paternal grandfathers, was this nice to her.
