Janet looked back at her husband, perplexed as to why he had such a strong prejudice against Noelle. She spun around and walked away.

In the living room, Quentin carefully went over the guest list. After Janet came over, he said, "I just need to add a few more names, and everything should be good. I'll have Martin prepare the list and addresses for you soon."

All of a sudden, he recalled what Noelle had once asked him, "Do your parents truly have no objections to our wedding?" In particular, she had placed a special emphasis on his father.

It seemed like her concerns were spot on. His father did have a prejudice against her. Quentin felt a little uneasy, so he went upstairs to find his father again.

Mark frowned when he saw him return. "What else do you want?"

Quentin looked at him and said, "Elle and I are already married, Dad. We're only having this wedding so that we don't have any regrets in our lives. Whether you approve or not doesn't matter."

He was almost out the door, b

    Since he was already at the office, Quentin took care of some work in his office. Then, he received a call from the team he had sent to Creekville. "Mr. Lowe, we took Ms. Cadwell's photo and asked around. Those two women are definitely Xyla Cadwell and her housekeeper."In an instant, all the guilt Quentin felt toward Xyla vanished. He told Martin, "Let's go to the hospital!"…Meanwhile, Ava rushed back to the hospital, and as soon as she walked into Xyla's ward, she couldn't help but share her night with Xyla. "Wade just can't hold a candle to Luke, Xy. He couldn't go again after one round and had to rely on Viagra. Luke, on the other hand, was truly something else…"Ava was all smiles as she reminisced about her time in that remote mountain village. Xyla snorted. "I can't believe you're still not over your wild ways at your age!"Ava retorted, "Oh, like you're any better? I wonder who was the one who had spent the whole night holed up in Eugene's room!"Xyla's expression harde

    "Quint's drunk, Noelle. Could you come pick him up?" Dennis glanced at Quentin, who was slumped over the table, intoxicated.Noelle's heart skipped a beat. "I'll be right there."…At a bar, Quentin held his drink with a weary grip, as if the alcohol was the only outlet for his pent-up frustration. "I don't know what to do about Xyla anymore, Dennis. My men went to that remote village with her picture and asked around, and those two women were her and Ava. "But she claims that after she was assaulted, she had nowhere to go, so she followed Eugene. It's been so long, and it happened in a remote village, so there's no way to investigate further. "What do you think I should do now? If I take her word and she's deceiving me, I'll look like a fool. But if she's telling the truth and I've wronged her, I'd be letting my savior down. I…" He felt very dejected. Dennis responded, "Honestly, I think it's all a lie. That woman's got more tricks up her sleeve than you can count. Hey, stop

    Noelle was aware that Xyla was once again playing on Quentin's heartstrings. Sadly, it always seemed to work without fail. "It's getting late. You should get some rest. We can talk about this tomorrow." All of a sudden, she felt a surge of compassion for the man in front of her. There was nothing wrong with his good-hearted nature; the real problem stemmed from Xyla's wickedness. Quentin took her advice and drifted off to sleep.…The next morning, she woke up and found him propped up on one elbow, his obsidian-like eyes staring at her unblinkingly. Noelle gasped. "What the hell are you doing?"Quentin grinned and looked especially charming on such a bright morning. "Nothing. I was just looking at you." He looked refreshed. He got out of bed. "Come with me to the cemetery later to visit Xyla's brother, Elle. I've been wanting to introduce you to him for a while now!"It seemed like he had completely forgotten about what he had said the night before—how he wished he hadn't b

    Noelle rolled her eyes at him before opening the car door and getting in. "I'm just saying, isn't it true that girls take after their dads and boys take after their moms?"Quentin thought about it for a moment and scowled. "This is getting more and more ridiculous!" Noelle made a face and ignored him.Janet called while the couple was on their way home. "Are you free right now, Elle? Come over and take a look at which of these pieces of jewelry goes best with your wedding gown!" Janet was at the top jewelry store in Dragfort at the moment.Noelle responded, "Mom, I have plenty of jewelry already. I can just pick one of them!""How could you just pick from any one of your old pieces, you silly girl? You need to wear new jewelry for your wedding! Hurry up, I'll be waiting!"Quentin, who was in the front seat, chuckled. "If Mom's paying, you might as well go along with it. You'd be silly not to."Janet overheard him on the phone and chided, "All you know is how to scheme against you

    Noelle was taken aback. "This is way too expensive, Lorraine! There is no way I'm getting this!" She tried to take the necklace Lorraine had placed around her neck off.However, Janet interjected, "We're definitely getting this! Ms. Summer has excellent taste. This jewelry set suits you perfectly!"Janet didn't have a daughter of her own, and Noelle was her one and only daughter-in-law, so she was more than happy to spend on her. Lorraine felt both envious and sad.And just like that, Janet spent almost 200 million dollars in a single morning. As it was already noon, Janet turned to Lorraine and asked, "Why don't you join us for lunch, Ms. Summer?"Lorraine readily agreed. "Sure!" So, the three of them headed to a nearby restaurant. Noelle accompanied Janet to the restroom, leaving Lorraine alone outside the private dining room. As fate would have it, she ran into Mark, who was there to meet a client. Mark frowned, but he couldn't help but stop in his tracks and ask, "You're

    Mark walked over and calmly took a seat beside Janet. "What a coincidence!"Under the table, Janet took his hand, and he gently held hers. "I went to pick out some jewelry for Elle this morning and ran into Ms. Summer. So, we decided to grab lunch together. Do you remember Ms. Summer, Mark?" Janet asked."Of course, I remember. You're making it sound as if I'm too old to remember anything," he chuckled."It's good to see you, Mr. Lowe." Suppressing the unease in her heart, Lorraine beamed.Mark met her gaze with a warm smile. "Yes, it's good to see you too, Ms. Summer."Janet suddenly recalled something amusing and said, "Guess what? I noticed that Ms. Summer has the same wallpaper on her phone as Mr. Walsh! Women all over the world are into roses, it seems."Mark's palms were starting to get a little sweaty. Suppressing his murderous intent, he told Janet, "If you like roses as well, I'll send you one every day."He paused before continuing, "I have a client to attend to, so I'

    Quentin had no choice but to let go of Noelle. "Then, let me at least touch you."Noelle blushed and slapped him. "You perv!"The sound of a sharp slap pierced through the air. Both Quentin and Noelle froze for a moment. He seized her hand, which had just slapped him, and demanded. "Caress my face, got it? If you don't, you'll see what happens!"Noelle had no choice but to caress his face. "Happy now, big guy?"Quentin grinned before pretending to be annoyed and spitting out, "Fine, you can go."Noelle headed off to study. Just then, his phone rang. It was sitting on the bedside table, and he immediately noticed the familiar name. "Xyla."His forehead creased. At some point, he had developed an inexplicable aversion to her name, though he couldn't quite recall when it had first begun. He didn't want to hear this name, and he didn't want to answer her call either. But his sense of responsibility compelled him to answer his phone. Xyla sounded calm as she said, "I've decided no

    "Elle, please don't press any further. I'm doing this for your own good! Now, take your things and go!" Lorraine walked over to the bed and lay down.Noelle couldn't leave her in such a state. She followed her and insisted, "No way! You're coming with me to the hospital!"Noelle had known Lorraine for three years, and she had never seen her this battered and bruised. What's more, there were probably more injuries that she couldn't see. She helped Lorraine up. "Come on, we're going!"Lorraine was also at her limit. It was evident that those men had done serious damage to her body; she was in immense pain, and she was bleeding nonstop. So, she nodded. And so, Noelle took Lorraine to Dragfort Hospital. Lorraine was struggling to walk; she looked like she was about to pass out after taking a couple of steps. Noelle had a tough time helping her into the examination room.It was at that precise moment that she spotted Quentin's tall, slender figure standing outside the emergency room i

    "Sorry, but if I ever get married, it definitely won't be to either of you."Noelle had originally come to visit Christian, but now she didn't feel like staying anymore. She was beyond frustrated.Christian's sharp, dangerous eyes narrowed in an instant, brimming with hostility as he locked his gaze on Noelle. Quentin's handsome face darkened as well, his mood turning stormy.Noelle spun around and walked out."We'll see about that," Quentin muttered, getting up to leave as well.As he passed by the clinic where Noelle worked, he cast a glance in that direction before heading out.Near the end of the workday, Russ called. "Ms. Xanthos, Mr. Xanthos has arranged for you to meet a boxing champion. Are you free now? I can take you to meet him."Noelle couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and bitterness. She had lived 24 years, and only now did he care about whether she had any self-defense skills. Isn't it a little late for that?Still, she went.After one session, she was dr

    Noelle quietly closed the door behind her. Leonard glanced over, saw it was her, and put away his phone. "He just fell asleep. Ms. Xanthos, you should head home and rest. I'll keep watch tonight," he said softly.Noelle shook her head. "He took the knife for me. How could I go home? I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway. I'd rather stay here and keep an eye on him."She sat down on the couch, her gaze heavy with concern as she looked at Christian sleeping.Leonard nodded. "Alright, you stay here. I'll step out for a bit," he said before leaving the room.Noelle nodded.Christian's phone, sitting on the nightstand, pinged with a WhatsApp notification.Noelle walked over, picked up the phone, and saw a message from someone with the nickname "The Blomming Fifties.""What a flashy name," she thought with a faint smirk.But for some reason, curiosity tugged at her—she suddenly felt a strong urge to peek into Christian's private world as if she might uncover something hidden beneath t

    Noelle remained silent.In Dragfort, ever since Quentin had learned early that morning about Christian taking a knife for Noelle, he had locked himself in his office. It had been three hours now.The morning executive meeting was canceled, and his client appointments were rescheduled. Senior staff members who needed his signature on documents stood hesitating at the door, feeling the oppressive atmosphere even from outside the office.Department heads waiting to give their reports also lingered at the door, too intimidated to enter.In the end, they all turned their pleading eyes toward Martin.But even Martin was hesitant to go in.After all, he had witnessed the weight of Quentin's emotions—shock, frustration, and a deep sense of defeat—that had cast a heavy, oppressive mood over the office.Martin made a call to Dennis, knowing only he could possibly get through to Quentin now."Mr. Jackman, you need to come over," Martin said quietly, making sure to step into a quieter co

    Even though Christian was in obvious pain, he forced himself not to make a sound.Such a stubborn fool.The door knocked twice, and Leonard walked in. Seeing Noelle, he greeted her, "Ms. Xanthos."Noelle's eyes were red, but she didn't respond.Christian opened his eyes slightly and said, "Don't tell anyone I'm injured."Leonard nodded."Tell them I'm on a business trip," Christian added.Leonard raised an eyebrow, "Bro, with a wound like that, how long do you think this 'trip' will last before people catch on?"Christian shot him a cold glare, and Leonard quickly relented, "Okay, okay, I get it. I'll handle it."Christian closed his eyes again, waves of pain crashing over him like a relentless tide.Suddenly, he opened his eyes once more. "Silly girl."Noelle paused, her tear-filled eyes looking at him.A smile tugged at the corner of Christian's mouth. "Get out for a bit. You look terrible."Noelle's lips twitched as her damp lashes fluttered, and a surge of unexplainabl

    Just as the man raised the knife for a second strike, the security team arrived and swiftly pinned him down.Noelle heard a low grunt behind her, followed by Christian's pained chuckle. "Good thing it wasn't him."Noelle's heart clenched as she turned to see Christian, clutching his shoulder, slumped against her legs.He was wearing a beige coat, now stained with a large patch of blood around his shoulder.Christian was rushed to emergency surgery, but Noelle remained frozen in her chair, her mind replaying his words, "Good thing it wasn't him."Who wasn't it? Quentin?Why did he say that? Why did he act this way?The image of Christian's blood-soaked coat lingered in her mind. The wound—how deep was it?Noelle sat there, numb and lost in thought for an unknown period, until Michael appeared.He glanced at her through the doorway, but without a word, he continued walking past.A little while later, Kara gently patted her shoulder. "They've moved him to a room. You should go s

    Emmie smiled and placed a few more ravioli on Noelle's plate. "Then eat a little more. It's your mom's first time cooking, and once you're in the Utopia States, you won't have this."It wasn't like she had never cooked before—she had made instant noodles when she was alone.Noelle ate a small bowl of ravioli without pausing, her stomach now full and round. Her eyes welled up with tears, though whether it was from happiness or something else, no one could tell.After dinner, Noelle stayed for a bit before leaving.Emmie watched Noelle's car disappear down the driveway before finally going upstairs.Michael, leaning back on the bed, heard her soft footsteps approaching and lifted his eyelids.The bedroom was dark, and when Emmie stepped in, her gaze met Michael's dark, piercing eyes. She paused at the doorway, and he continued watching her."Lia must be blind. She couldn't tell if it was you or the driver," Emmie said coldly, walking straight to the other side of the bed and pulli

    Emmie was at a loss for words.Michael said, "Your daughter's leaving for the Utopia States soon. You should take this time to spend with her."Emmie's breath hitched. "Elle agreed?"Michael nodded. "Yes."It was the best way for Noelle to get away from those two men and focus on her own growth.After a night's rest, Noelle felt much better the next morning. Emmie called her, inviting her to Gentle Glades after work.What Noelle didn't expect was to see Michael there as well.He was lounging on the couch in casual clothes, flipping through a medical journal. Emmie, wearing an apron, seemed to be busy in the kitchen. When Noelle walked in, Emmie immediately came out."Elle!" Emmie's gentle face was filled with warmth as she took Noelle's hand.Noelle felt a bit disoriented.In her memory, Emmie's life was filled with books and work, never with the kitchen. And Michael—she hadn't seen him so relaxed and calm, casually reading a magazine on the couch, in over a decade.It felt

    Michael couldn't forget the look Elijah had given him that day—a mocking smile, full of meaning. Elijah slowly pulled back, revealing Emmie's curled-up body underneath him.Without a word, Michael opened his phone and pulled up a social media app. He tossed the phone to Emmie. "Take a look for yourself."Emmie looked down and saw a video posted by Elijah just minutes earlier. It was of her feeding him. She watched in disbelief, then replayed it. The account was undeniably Elijah's."Scroll down. There's more," Michael's voice drifted from the couch.Emmie's fingers moved down the screen, her peripheral vision catching a glimpse of Michael sitting with his legs crossed, taking a sip of coffee handed to him by the housekeeper.Further down, she found a photo posted by Elijah a month ago, showing her preparing his medicine. The footage seemed to be taken from security cameras.But none of these posts had appeared on her social media feed.She had never seen them on her phone.Mich

  • Sorry, We're Divorced   Chapter 608

    Quentin didn't deny it.Noelle's chest tightened as she remembered that day in Ocean City when Christian had said Gillian deserved to be slapped. Now, it all made sense.At the time, she had sarcastically asked him if he would treat her the same way once he got tired of her.His response had been, "Do you think I'm tired of her, and that's why I did it?"Now she understood. Christian had known all along that it was Quentin who had called Gillian to Ocean City.A wave of frustration swelled in Noelle's chest. Her fingers clenched tightly as the memory of Christian's sweet words clashed with the thought of him being with Gillian. Bitterness gnawed at her.Just then, the door opened again, and a strong, steady figure entered. His gaze swept silently over the two men in the room before he walked straight to the bed."Elle?""Clement!" At the sight of him, Noelle's eyes brimmed with tears."Let's go home," Clement said as he turned and carefully lifted her onto his back. Noelle res
