Chapter 31

C’mon, that was Jasper Schnabel! His secretary couldn’t even get a glimpse of him, let alone meet him. Meeting Jasper required proof of funds, and the poor were simply not worthy of his legal representation!

How on earth did Noella get in touch with him?

Vincent was gobsmacked!

Jasper, seething, said, “Mr. Lambert, even if you did take care of Noella in the past, you’re nothing to her now! Noella has her own family. Mrs. and Ms. Lambert aren’t her mom and sister, so watch your mouth!”

Vincent, choking up, “We raised her for eighteen years, and she turns her back on us over some tiny tiff? What’s the big deal about asking her to release my wife and daughter?”

And he’d been camping out there for days, just waiting for Noella!

Jasper couldn’t help but let out a snort. “Mr. Lambert sees kidnapping as only a ‘tiny tiff“?”

“Kidnapping? My wife was just worried sick about her, wanting to send her back to the boonies. out of the goodness of her heart. Mr. Schnabel, don’t say I didn’t warn you – Noella’s broke as a joke. Don’t let her con you out of your fees!”

Jasper was about to burst out laughing! He managed to keep his cool, turned to Noella with a gentle tone. “Noella, if I happen to do something ‘kind‘ in a bit, just pretend you didn’t see anything, okay?”

Noella nodded obediently. “Alright, but I still have some questions for him.”

Vincent eyed Noella warily, his tone frosty. “What do you wanna ask? If you’re thinking about crawling back to us, you can kiss that dream goodbye! I don’t need a heartless daughter like you! If you don’t help me get your mom and sister out, I’ll dig up your grandma’s grave, and she won’t be able to rest in peace!”

Noella felt a flicker of anger.

Old Mrs. Lambert was Vincent’s own mother, who had worked hard to raise him. How could he say such a thing?

She was the kindest soul in the Lambert family. When the Lambert couple were too busy to care for her, it was Old Mrs. Lambert who had raised her with love, rocking her in the wicker chair those were the warmest moments of her childhood.

When Noella was poisoned by the sweets Briony gave her, and the Lambert couple didn’t bother to check on her, it was Old Mrs. Lambert who, despite her age, carried Noella in search of doctors and took care of her herself!

And when Vincent was struggling to start his business, it was Old Mrs. Lambert who supported him with all her savings.
