Chapter 295
Rowena could not take it anymore and glared at Winter. She was about to say something when Noelle took the wedding invitation over from Winter. She opened it and glanced at the contents.
"The third of next month is a great date!" Noelle closed the invitation. "We're sisters, after all. Of course, I'll be at your wedding."
There was no sign of a hurt expression on Noelle's face. She took things in her stride and this surprised Winter slightly.
Winter had thought that Noelle would at least look slightly forlorn. Did she underestimate Noelle or was Noelle just forcing herself to be calm?
She stared at Noelle, trying to find any hint of unhappy feelings from Noelle. However, Winter ended up being disappointed.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Noelle had been reacting normally so far since accepting the invitation.
"I'm happy that you're able to come. We're sisters, after all. And you and Xavier used to be..." Winter bit her lip a little sadly at this point. "You and Xavier used to be good friends. You must be happy that we're getting married, right?"
Noelle smiled. Even her eyes were twinkling when she looked at Winter. She did not look as sad as Winter expected. All Noelle did was look back at Winter while wondering how long Winter would keep this up. Winter was disappointed with Noelle's reaction.
Many of their classmates were attending this reunion, and Winter was a huge celebrity. Everyone's focus was on her, and they looked at each other when they saw the interaction between both sisters.
The look on Winter's face froze. She felt like her attacks were going nowhere, and it felt frustrating. Winter bit her lip. "Are you still mad at me, Noelle?"
"Why should I be mad at you?" Noelle took things one at a time. "You didn't do anything bad to me. In fact, I'd like to congratulate you on your upcoming wedding and your successful career."
"That's right!" Winter felt awkward and she glanced at Annie and Suzy. That was when Annie stepped up." Winter is getting married and has a great career. I bet none of you are aware that Winter just signed with Royal Star Entertainment, which is a company under Collosus Group."
"Royal Star Entertainment?" Everyone started to discuss this. "That's a huge company. Theard that the Royal Star's A-lister, Mona Quentin, was molded by Royal Star. What a great achievement, Winter!"
"That's right. Isn't the owner of Royal Star someone called Mr. Hoffman?" "Winter, isn't your husband related to him?"
Everyone's reaction cheered Winter up. She was happy that the focus was on her. She raised her chin proudly and looked at Noelle in delight. You remember Mr.
Hoffman, don't you, Noelle,
the
one who came to our house during Grandpa's birthday. He's Xavier's uncle!"
"Really?" Noelle smiled. She looked at how Winter was being gleeful and she smiled along with Winter and said, "That would mean the president of Collosus Group is your uncle."
"That's right!" Winter replied while glancing shyly at everyone. It dawned on everybody else that there was someone powerful behind Winter.
Noelle mimicked Charles, and the look in her eyes was much more thoughtful than before. All she did was raise an eyebrow. She did not react as everyone else did.
"I thought your husband was the president of Collosus Group," Noelle said. The look on Winter's face changed when she heard that. However, she smiled almost instantly.
"No, he's not. That should not be the way, Noelle. Collosus Group's Charles Hoffman is Xavier's senior. That means he's your senior as well. How can you say something like that?"
