Noelle seemed very solemn, but Brandon merely chuckled. I guess you're right. I'm sorry. That was inconsiderate.

of me."

He was very sincere when he apologized, and she looked a little pushy in comparison.

Noelle also realized it. So, she apologized and said, "I got worked up just now,"

"It's fine. Your reputation is at stake, after all. It's only understandable that you reacted like that. It's my bad to begin with."

The elevator door slid open as Brandon spoke. He was absolutely right when he said that the view on the balcony was wonderful up here. The distant neon lights flickered gently, and the blowing wind lifted Noelle's spirits.

Brandon glanced at Noelle's reaction and confirmed that she was happy with this spot before he continued, " Actually, I'm quite against the idea of Maxwell and Sandra being together.

"Maxwell is my younger brother. Although I wasn't willing to accept that fact, blood is thicker than water. As far as I'm concerned, Sandra isn't a good choice for a wife."

What Brandon said took Noelle by surprise. After all, she had thought that everyone in their circle loved Sandra. Otherwise, her arrival back then wouldn't have been met with this much rejection.

Needless to say, Sandra had done a lot of stuff to ensure it happened. After all, not everyone could keep up a pretense for this long.

"Sandra is too much of a scheming lady. The Quinlan family is complicated enough as it is. If she marries into the family, she's going to stir up some trouble. That's something I didn't want to see at all.

"I'm sorry, Noelle. I know Sandra is your younger sister, but I don't mean to badmouth her. Actually, I'm just discussing it with you."

Brandon gave Noelle an apologetic look and added, "I hope you don't mind."noveldrama

Noelle shook her head. Truth be told, it even felt like she had gotten herself an ally after she heard what Brandon said. What made her feel more bizarre was that Brandon actually told her all of this.

"I've read your comic, and I was hooked. I'll ask my men to pay you the highest possible price for the rights. If you have the time, I hope you'll participate in the scriptwriting."

Noelle shook her head. "I don't know how to do that."

"It's okay. There's a dedicated development studio at Quinlan Group. You're a smart lady. I'm sure you'll be doing wonderfully once you spend some time learning what you need to learn over there," Brandon said solemnly.

She was so bold and straightforward that Brandon couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. However, he quickly smiled. again and asked, "What's the matter? Do I have to have some agendas to be making this offer?"

"It'd be best if you don't have any, but it's not going to do you any good, even if you do have one." Noelle turned her gaze away and said, "I'm not connected to the Swanson family anymore anyway. So, I'm probably of no use to you, Mr. Quinlan.

"The view here is splendid. Perhaps you should've invited a better person to appreciate it with you, though. I'll be taking my leave now. Farewell."

Then, Noelle turned around decisively.

However, at the next moment, Brandon spoke up again, "How do you know that you don't have something that I want?"

By the time Noelle returned to Serene Street, she noticed that the Maserati was parked by the road. Fortunately, it was very late into the night. So, it didn't draw any attention to itself.

Noelle hesitated for a while before walking over and approaching it. There wasn't anyone in the backseats, but Levi was leaning on the steering wheel and sleeping
