Quentin eased his car to a stop next to the Volkswagen Sagitar. Then, he got out and tapped on the window. The silence that followed told him all he needed to know; Noelle was fast asleep.

There was a hotel in the rest area, and he wanted nothing more than to get Noelle inside. However, the car door was locked, and he couldn't open it. In the frigid northern night, the car would soon become a frozen tomb.

His heart was heavy with worry as he raised his hand again and pounded on the window. This time, he successfully roused her from sleep. Noelle lifted her head from the steering wheel, looking disoriented. Quentin called her phone again, and this time, she picked up.

"Elle, listen to me; you have to go to the hotel to rest! You'll freeze out here!" In the frigid northern night, Quentin stood tall and elegant in his black Gucci coat. Despite the biting temperatures, he remained impeccably poised and handsome.

Noelle could already feel the cold seeping into her body. Disregarding the

    Lorraine was dumbfounded. "Noelle, you can't even manage regular roads, and yet you drove all the way there?"Lorraine was on pins and needles. "Alright, give me your address, and I'll come to you!" Also, she had no idea what had happened to upset her so much. Lorraine had to see her in person to feel reassured.Noelle shared her location but immediately added: "Don't come over—it's the dead of the night!" Lorraine: "Don't worry about it. Just get some rest and save a bed for me." Then, she swiftly packed and headed out.When Noelle called Lorraine again, she was already on the highway. "Don't worry. I'm on my way. I'll definitely be there before sunrise!"With a friend like that, what more could anyone ask for? Noelle was moved to tears.There were only a few hours left until dawn, and Noelle fell into a fitful sleep. When she woke up, she was consumed with worry for Lorraine. She was afraid that something might have happened to her on the highway.Just then, a tall woman walk

    Quentin didn't even spare Laura a glance. "Do whatever you want."Laura set her tray down and pretended to trip over the chair, falling right into Quentin's arms. "Oh, dear!" she exclaimed, using the man for support as she slowly rose to her feet. She deliberately pressed her boobs against his chest and looked at him seductively.Quentin's face twisted in disgust. He seized her arm, yanked her up, and pushed her away. "Scram!" He had seen his fair share of shamelessness, but this was on a whole new level. Laura was sent sprawling on the ground, her face flushing a deep crimson. With so many eyes on her, she stomped her foot and huffed, "So what if you're rich? My brother-in-law is way richer than you! His family's the wealthiest in Dragfort!"Quentin had already gotten up, and when he heard Laura's outburst, he stopped in his tracks for a moment but chose not to engage. He made his way to the entrance of the restaurant, took off his coat, and dumped it in the trash can before he l

    Madison's expression remained as impassive as before as she walked past Chance, heading straight for the water cooler with a kettle in hand.Chance watched as her slender figure disappeared around the corner of the corridor. He returned to the ward, sat beside Fred's bed, and started checking the dosages on each medicine bottle. "Madison has already checked them," Fred said.Chance's arm stiffened. He looked up and said, "Grandpa, you're awake!"Fred responded, "I've been awake for some time now. It seems like all of you prefer your mistresses over your wives at home. None of you seem to cherish what you have!" He sighed, feeling as if he'd failed his grandchildren.Chance didn't respond. Instead, he said, "It's time for your medicine. Let me help you." He got up and went to the end of the bed. After raising the headboard, he poured a glass of water and helped Fred take his medication.After taking his medication, Fred asked, "Where's Quentin?"Chance had no idea where he was e

    After Noelle left, Lorraine went straight home. She opened the door and was just about to take off her shoes when someone covered her mouth from behind. The person dragged her toward the bed and forced her down onto it. The man took out a rope and secured her hands, then held her chin firmly, forcing her to turn her head. As soon as she saw Mark, Lorraine's pupils dilated. His gaze was cold and contemptuous as he asked lowly, "So, you lied to me, huh?"Her heart raced, but she forced herself to ask, "What are you talking about?" Mark sneered, "You told me you had an STD. What? Have you forgotten about that already? Do you need me to jog your memory?"He grasped her chin so tightly that it felt as though her bones might break. With her mouth hung open and her head tilted back, she looked at him in fright, but she couldn't say a word. Mark let go of her and started undoing his collar. Over an hour later, Lorraine lay on the bed, her body quivering and drenched in sweat as though

    Noelle told Madison, "If you have something to attend to, you can go. I'll take care of Grandpa."Madison nodded. "Alright, I'll head out then. Goodbye, Grandpa."Fred responded gently, "Goodbye." He found Madison dull and much preferred Noelle's company.…Madison drove to Restaurant Blanc, and when she noticed Chance's car at the entrance, she froze. Was he here as well? After a moment's hesitation, she walked inside to look for her father.Inside the private dining room, Jaxon was barely containing his anger as he waited for Madison. His wife, Talia Knight, who was sitting beside him, tried to console him, "Calm down. We'll figure out what to do when our daughter gets here."Madison pushed open the door and walked in. "Mom, Dad," she called out. Then, she greeted her brother and sister-in-law as well.Jaxon looked at her with utter disappointment. "Don't you realize that they're walking all over you?" It pained him to see his daughter living such a miserable life.Madison bi

    Lydia was caught off guard, her eyes wide with disbelief. She didn't want to leave, but she knew she had to. After getting into the car, she glared at Madison's profile, as if she wanted to stab her with a dozen invisible daggers.After the Murphies left, Jaxon turned to Madison. "Maddie, don't forget that you're Chance's lawfully wedded wife. No matter what, carry yourself with grace and dignity!" With that, he left.Madison didn't spare Chance a glance either; she turned and got into her car. Chance watched as the Audi drove away before he turned and left. When he returned to the villa, he found Madison watering the flowers. Clad in a misty blue sweater and trousers, her dark hair framed her peaceful countenance. She didn't seem to notice him as she carefully and lovingly watered the flowers whose names eluded him. After watering, she pruned and trimmed the leaves.When he walked past her, she didn't say a word, behaving as though he was invisible. Chance went to the study to fi

    After walking out of the hospital building, Noelle said, "Please don't follow me, Mr. Lowe. You're not welcome at my place!" Then, she headed over to her Volkswagen Sagitar, which was parked nearby.Quentin hesitated for a moment but still decided to follow her. "Elle!" He walked up to her and reached out to close her car door. He then pulled her into his arms and leaned down to kiss her.The next thing he knew, she raised her hand and delivered a stinging slap to his face. The crisp sound made his body go rigid. "Have some respect, Mr. Lowe!" Noelle snarled, her striking eyes devoid of any warmth.Quentin stood rooted to his spot as he watched her turn away and get into her car. The Volkswagen Sagitar slowly pulled out of the parking lot and left without a word.Right then, a soft chuckle broke the silence. Quentin frowned and glanced over, spotting Gabriel not far from his car. "He must've just gotten out of his car and witnessed the scene where Noelle slapped me," he surmised. T

    Noelle recalled how Lorraine had been gang-raped before and felt a tight knot of worry in her chest. Worried that something might have happened to Lorraine, she rushed upstairs and knocked on the door. "Lorraine?"Meanwhile, in the house, Lorraine was sprawled on the bed, her whole body aching from the wounds, and she could tell that her nether regions had torn again.Mark, who hadn't been intimate with her for a while and was enraged by the fake medical report, had come close to torturing her this time. Even though he had left over an hour ago, she was still lying in bed, unable to move a muscle.Lorraine didn't want Noelle to know she was hurt, so she decided to ignore her calls and not answer the door, hoping that Noelle would assume she wasn't home and leave.However, instead of the outcome she desired, Noelle called out loudly from outside, "Lorraine, are you in there? Why aren't you answering the door? Is everything okay?"Lorraine held it together. She couldn't let Noelle k

    "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

    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
