When he was gone, Mekhi asked Noelle in a low voice, “Whom do you think is more suitable to be your husband, Mr. Hudson or Cyrus?”

“What do you mean by that?” Noelle stepped back in a mix of shock and disbelief.

“Cyrus and I are in love. Why would you even ask me this?”
Mekhi’s lips curled into a sinister smile.
“Why are you so nervous?
Well, Mr. Hudson did come to me yesterday and said that if you accept his hand in marriage, he will hand over 15% of his company shares to me. But I haven’t agreed to him yet, so there’s no need for you to get so worked up. I was just asking.”
But the damage was done. Noelle no longer trusted him.
“15% of company shares? That means nothing to me. If you dare to accept his proposal, I will sever all my ties with the Shaw family for good!” She was going to stand her ground when it came to this matter.
“If you’re looking to use your sister’s marriage to benefit your career, why don’t you ask Sally instead? I already have Cyrus.”
Mekhi clicked his tongue and shook his head helplessly, as if she was being an errant child who needed yet another scolding.
“The Simmons family might be better than the Hudson family, but Lucinda is the head of the family and the business. Even if Cyrus is determined to marry you, he cannot give us 15% of the Simmons Group’s shares.

He doesn’t have the authority to make such a decision.”
Noelle gaped at him in horror.
“Are those shares more important to you than my happiness? I don’t care if Cyrus can’t give us any company shares. Is this why you brought me to this party? To flaunt me to your peers like some commodity and see who would bid the highest?”
Mekhi gazed at Noelle with furrowed brows.
“What are you talking about? I only wish to assist you in selecting a better life partner.”
She gazed at him in disbelief.
“I’d rather be on my own, even if it means living in an orphanage for my entire life, than surrender my freedom and choice for a place in the Shaw family.”
Faced with her strong objection, Mekhi’s tone softened and he gently pulled her closer.
“Well, I was simply seeking your thoughts. There’s no need for such anger. If you’re not in favor, I won’t push.”
This clearly made her relieved and she resumed pleasant chatter with his friends.
With Nathan’s help, Lucinda successfully wrapped up a significant deal with their client, Horace. The contract signing was scheduled for the following day.
Nathan extended his hand, sealing the deal on Lucinda’s behalf.
Horace nodded graciously.
