Chapter 170



Rowena had never met anyone as calm as Charles. His wife was the one in danger, yet he did not seem the least bit rattled.

However, then Rowena paused to think about Charles. He was always so sure of himself, so she did not doubt him.

Rowena bit her lip. She did not really think Charles was praising her, but she thanked him anyway because it was the polite thing to do.

"Aren't you worried about Noelle being all alone with them? The Shaws aren't exactly nice to her. But Noelle can't seem to let them go. Otherwise, they would have never been able to bully her."

Rowena was shocked. "You... That's too harsh for Noelle."
