Chapter 281
Noella had long stopped caring about the days gone by. Finding out that Harriet was actually her biological grandmother made Vincent and Belinda seem like a joke to her.
But what Vincent did was unforgivable. Despite being taken in by his grandmother, he mistreated her!
Noella patted Marcel on the shoulder. “Grandpa, look at me now. Am I not doing enough, or are you not satisfied with me?”

well? Am I not good
At that, Marcel’s eyes widened in disbelief. He grabbed Noella’s hand. “Who to say my granddaughter isn’t good enough? I’ll teach them a lesson!”

hand. ctually.
Beckett smiled at Noella warmly. “Indeed, Noella, you’re doing great. Actually, before you came back, I was all set on how to discipline you.”
It turned out Noella did everything so well that even Beckett was surprised!
Elara raised an eyebrow. “Yeah, Noella, you have no idea. Me and the other brothers were all raised by
Beckett. He sure knows how to raise kids.”
Beckett always believed that even if Noella wasn’t up to par after coming back from the Lambert family, who were as poor as church mice, he was confident he could teach her well!
Noella chuckled. “Since I’m doing good enough, then why have you all been crying every time you see me? If you’re satisfied, how about showing me a smile instead?”
The warmth and affection Noella received from the Schnabel family was something she had never experienced before. As the new leader of Polaris Star, she wasn’t lacking in praise and recognition from
all walks of life.
“Actually, before coming back, I told my mentors that if the Schnabel family was anything like the Lambert family, I’d just take a look and leave. But now, I really hope I can live here with everyone!
The old timers at Polaris Star felt pity for Noella’s past with the Lambert family but knew she couldn’t let go of Harriet and didn’t try to persuade her otherwise.
Marcel, filled with contentment and affection, proclaimed, “Alright, from now on, let’s all smile for Noella!”
“I’ll give Xavier a call. I’ll send a few more men over to him.”
Marcel’s tone shifted, showing just how much he cherished his granddaughter and how much he despised the Lambert family! He stormed into his study, and soon, loud arguing could be heard coming from the
room.
“Xavier, listen here, the two that were sent over were mean to Harriet! How mean? Not feeding her, does that count as mean?”
“I’ve sent you some videos, have a look, and you’ll understand!”
“What? You’re asking about those two kids? Two for the price of one! Deal with them!”
“I’m not wasting words! Do as you please with them!”
Marcel’s intention was clear; he wanted to send Briony and Yvonne straight to Lockhart Prison as well!
Elara was surprised. “Those two, with their delicate skins, probably would cry for ages with just one punch, right?”
She doubted whether Briony and Yvonne could survive three days in a place like Lockhart Prison.
Noella said indifferently, “It’s no longer our concern. They brought it upon themselves.”
If Vincent and Belinda hadn’t caused a scene, maybe they could have served their time in peace.
Elara sighed. “Ah, now they’ll realize that serving time in Harmonia Country’s prisons is much safer.”
They could have served their time in peace, but no, they had to mess up. Now, they were up for a luxury prison meal!
Noella glanced at her phone as Xavier’s message of eagerness popped up.
[Girl, how do you want them dealt with? I am listening! Feed them to the sharks or bury them in the desert as fertilizer?]
[Dig up everything they know. The rest is up to you.]
Whether these people were alive or dead, Noella had no interest in knowing. She only wanted to find out if Vincent and Belinda knew more details, especially since Belinda was the one who took Noella from the orphanage!
Yvonne must have done some unsightly things in the Schnabel family over the years too. All this, the Schnabel family had a right to know!
In Serene Haven, within the outermost circle of single–story apartments, Oriana paced her room, worried and scared. She feared the Schnabel family might sue her, given she couldn’t afford to mess with their legal team.
It was all Noella’s fault for being so heartless, even to her own foster parents. The Schnabel family surely didn’t know her true colors!
Upon hearing from friends that Stirling was on a break, Oriana lit up with an idea. This meant Stirling might be home, and they now lived in the same community!
Thrilled at the thought of possibly bumping into her idol just by stepping outside, Oriana quickly dolled herself up and left her apartment. She dared not get too close to the Schnabel family’s yard, settling for a hidden spot to wait.
A sleek silver car slowly entered the Phoenix Tower’s exclusive parking lane. The Schnabel family preferred to alight at the entrance and have the driver park the car underground..
Stirling, with his long strides, stepped out of the car, his agent by his side advising, “Even though you’re on a break, be mindful of your safety. And get that hair dyed back before your next gig!”
Taking advantage of the break, Stirling had dyed his hair silver–white, adding a rebellious charm to his look. Rocking a face that could pull off any hairstyle, each vacation Stirling took was an opportunity to experiment with a new, often outrageous, do.
And yet, his fans ate it up, utterly enchanted by Stirling’s unconventional charm!
“Don’t worry about it. The next gig is with my family’s company; they wouldn’t dare criticize me.” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
His agent took a deep breath. Even after years of managing Stirling, she was still occasionally floored by

Stirling’s family background- If he didn’t hustle, he’d simply inherit his family’s empire.
“Fine, do as you wish. Just make sure you’re back to normal before we start filming. And be careful around the neighborhood; we don’t want any overzealous fans stalking you.”
Stirling’s gaze landed on a figure lurking nearby. Dressed in a loud, colorful outfit and hiding under a hat, they were crouched by the bushes.
“Did you summon them or what? That person over there is either about to relieve themselves in public or they’re a hardcore fan.”
Stirling was too familiar with that look on Oriana’s face!
As soon as their gazes met, Oriana couldn’t contain her excitement and hurried over from the bushes.
“Stirling! I’m a huge fan, and I also go to school with your sister Noella.”
Knowing the fan was Noella’s classmate softened Stirling’s initial reaction, and he relaxed the defensive stance he was about to take. Had Oriana spoken a moment later, she would’ve been pinned down by the Schnabel family’s bodyguards!
Still cautious, Stirling took a step back. “What do you want?”
“Stirling, I really adore you! You mean everything to me; do you understand my feelings?”
Hearing this passionate confession, Stirling stepped back again, only for a cold, teasing voice to follow.
Noella leaned over her balcony, resting her chin in her hands as she watched Oriana.
“Stirling is your everything?”
Elara chimed in, “Wow, I didn’t get a good look before, but this kid looks kinda shocking.”
