Chapter 1318
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Noel was dumbfounded.
He wanted to speak several times, but Cecilia kept throwing money at him, preventing him from opening his mouth.
His head was spinning, completely bewildered.
Noel reached out to remove the bills that had been thrown at his face.
But Cecilia had thrown too many, and he couldnât catch up.
He felt a series of impacts on his face, and the edges of the coins kept scraping against his skin, leaving a small trail of lines.
âCecilia!â
Noel was starting to get angry. Even with the best manners, one couldnât withstand this barrage of coins hitting their face.
âWhat are you doing?!â
Sueâs humiliation was one thing, but the way Cecilia treated him⦠It was as if she wasnât sincere in wanting to meet him to talk!
âWhat am I doing?â Cecilia raised an eyebrow and mockingly smiled. âIâm doing what I want to do!â
She looked at Noel, all the while continuing to toss more money.
The entire corridor looked like it was raining pink petals as the paper notes flew around Noel.
In the eyes of others, this scene was shocking.
But to Noel, it was incomprehensible.
âYou like money, so Iâm just throwing money at you!â Cecilia asked him. âWhat? Youâre willing to accept my momâs money, but not mine? Or do you think the amount Iâm tossing at you is too little, and you want me to throw more?â
As soon as she finished speakingâ¦
Bang!
Another thick bundle of bills rushed toward Noel. If he hadnât closed his eyes quickly, his eyes might have been poked out by them!
But now, he had regained his composure.
He might as well not have reacted; now, he just felt a profound sense of desolation.
Noel looked at the girl he had first fallen in love withâat Cecilia, who was now looking down on him from above.
He found the current scene rather amusing.
âDid your mom tell you that I took that money?â
1.5 millionâ¦
Fulcher Inc. had been doing well in recent years, and Julian had been generous to him. Although his salary was just a typical executiveâs salary, Julian had given him shares, and the annual dividends from Fulcher Inc. were far more than that amount.
Taking that 1.5 million from Sue was practically meaningless to him.
Even if it had meaning, he had no reason to accept that money.
Noelâs eyes briefly showed a hint of hurt. âCecilia, do you think I have no dignity?â
Cecilia was momentarily puzzled.
She didnât understand what Noel meant by his words. âDignity?â
Was he really talking about dignity after taking the money?!Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join &

She smirked and retorted, âAre you saying you didnât take the money?â
How dare he talk about dignity after taking the money!
When she went out shopping today, Sue had given her some money. She thought it would cheer Cecilia up if she bought something nice.
Back then, Cecilia had even called Sue old-fashioned.
In this day and age, Sue was still handing her cash. It was heavy in her purse, making it tiring to carry.
Sue had said with authority, âYouâre the daughter of the Jarvises. Itâs okay if you donât spend the money. If someone makes you unhappy, just throw money at them!â
At the time, Cecilia had laughed. âLook at you, acting all lavish! Itâs so different from your usual reserved self.â
Why would she throw money at someone?
Originally, she brought it along in her bag to put her momâs mind at ease, so her mom wouldnât worry about her.
However, she hadnât expected Sueâs words to be so accurate.
Just as her mother said, if someone made her unhappy, just throw money at them!
Right now, she couldnât stand Noel.
Not only did she want to use the money, but she also wanted to take her platinum bag and smack him on the head with it, leaving him battered and bruised.
However, she still had her decorum. Doing something like throwing money at someone in front of everyone was already pushing Cecilia to her limit.
Still, it felt satisfying.
She looked at Noelâs expression.
It turned out he had his pride too; he knew what it meant to be embarrassed!
