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 well? Am I not good enough, or are you not satisfied with me?"
At that, Marcel's eyes widened in disbelief. He grabbed Noella's hand. "Who dares to say my granddaughter isn't good enough? I'll teach them a lesson!"
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.
