Noelle shook her head. “I’m alright.” Charles looked at Noelle’s feet, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes when he saw the high heels she was wearing. “Let’s go!” “Where are we going?” Charles answered, "To get you some shoes! You have to speak up when you aren’t feeling well in the future, alright?” Noelle was stunned, and she blinked before saying, “It’s alright, I’m alright. I’ve got a lot of shoes at home. No need to buy any more!” She thought Charles was overreacting, but he did not give her any chance to object to his decision before he took her to the area of the shopping mall dedicated to selling shoes and into one of the shops. When the attendant caught sight of Charles and the expensive-looking suit he was wearing, she could not help but affix her gaze onto him. However, she hurriedly averted her gaze when Charles swept his stern gaze across her. Noelle pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows slightly. “See? She doesn’t know who you are, but your presence is

“Wow! They’re beautiful!” A tinkling voice interrupted the sales attendant. “I saw them during fashion week and heard that they’re the works of Cox. They looked so beautiful on Aubrey, and I wanted them the minute I laid my eyes on them. I didn’t know they were available for purchase in Brookville now!” Noelle froze when she heard that voice. Sure enough, Winter stepped into the store. She was followed by two other women who Noelle had met previously. They were all part of Winter’s posse and frequently caused her trouble. Noelle frowned and instinctively turned around to leave. However, Winter would not allow that to happen. She let out a cry of surprise, acting like she had just seen Noelle as she said, “Noelle! My goodness, are you shopping here as well, Noelle?” Winter walked over and put on a look of sisterly love on her face as she grasped Noelle’s hands. “Noelle, have you been very busy lately? Why haven’t you been visiting?” Noelle’s eyebrows rose so high they nearly d

Noelle sneered as she watched them collaborate, directly distorting the facts and confusing right from wrong. "You guys are good friends.""Of course, we're good friends. It's because we are good friends that we're standing up for Winter. You're Winter's sister, and we can't do anything to you, but one shouldn't be too ungrateful. "Don't forget that Winter saved you back then. Without her, you wouldn't be where you are now. And now, you want to steal Winter's boyfriend!"Noelle's lips trembled slightly. "Enough. You don't need to keep repeating this. You know the truth very well. You also know very well who stole whose boyfriend. Do you want to disgrace me by distorting the facts in front of everyone?"Noelle clenched her fists, taking a deep breath. "Just because I've been backing down doesn't mean I don't have a temper. Winter, I will say this one last time. From now on, you go your way, and I will go mine. We have nothing to do with each other."Noelle's peripheral vision caug

Winter's face stiffened, utterly surprised by Charles' response. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Shaw family and somewhat famous in the entertainment industry. She assumed anyone would grant her a bit of favor.She never expected Charles to outright say he did not know her, making it difficult for her to maintain her composure.Winter took a deep breath. After all, she was a lady of a prominent family and still managed to control her emotions. She smiled. "Mr. Hoffman, you must be very busy. There were too many people that day, so it's understandable you don't remember. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Winter Shaw, the daughter of City Ring Corp's Shaw family and Xavier Harris' fiancée."She thought Charles would surely recognize Xavier's name.Charles squinted his eyes and said, "I remember the Shaw family, but who's Xavier?" He curled his lips. "Ms. Shaw, are you here to buy shoes?"Winter's expression looked even more strained when she heard Charles say he did not

Noelle never expected Charles to be bored enough to join her in arguing with Winter. She had not seen Charles earlier and assumed he had left.At that moment, saying she was not happy would have been a lie. She felt good being treated so kindly by Charles.Their banter was almost enough to infuriate Winter. She could not believe Charles had approached because of Noelle, not her.Why did Noelle deserve to be remembered by a man like Charles?Both she and Noelle met Charles for the first time that day. At the birthday banquet, Charles had not even noticed Noelle. Why did he take the initiative to greet Noelle now?The more Winter thought about it, the angrier she became. She simply became a bystander as Noelle and Charles interacted. Charles had completely forgotten about her and was chatting enthusiastically with Noelle.In Winter's mind, Noelle was just unworthy.Annie and Suzy felt the same. At first, they thought the man looked impressive. After all, no woman could ignore a ha

Winter felt a bit resentful. Why did Charles remember Noelle yet remain indifferent to her?Ever since she was little, there had never been anything Winter wanted that she could not get. She stepped forward and walked to Charles' side as she said, "Mr. Hoffman, do you like these high heels too? These shoes are—""Wrap these shoes up," Charles interrupted her while turning to the sales attendant.The sales attendant immediately understood. "Yes, sir," she said. She then added, "Sir, is the size right?"Charles squinted, his long eyes falling on Noelle. As if sensing something, Noelle looked up at Charles.She pressed her lips together, feeling slightly nervous. She feared that Charles might say something shocking.Charles smiled slightly."Size seven," he continued while looking at Noelle. "But, Ms. Noelle, could you do me a favor?"Noelle felt a bit relieved and smiled. Holding the pair of flats she had just taken off, she said, "Of course, as long as you don't mind.""Let Ms.

The sales attendant looked at Winter in disbelief when she heard this. "Miss, what you said isn't quite right. Mr. Hoffman saw these shoes first, and you haven't paid yet, so it's only fair I give them to Mr. Hoffman. "Besides, no matter who you are, everyone is a customer to me. Should I give you special treatment just because you're someone important?""You..." Winter was at a loss for words after being blocked by the assistant's response. As the eldest daughter of the Shaw family, she was used to people granting her wishes. Her fans treated her like a treasure, yet this small-time sales attendant dared to speak to her like this. "Get your store manager… No, get your general manager here! I can't believe I have to take this nonsense just to buy a pair of shoes!"Winter was truly furious, almost to the point of losing her temper. Annie and Suzy were about to say something when the sales attendant replied while smiling in anger, "Alright. I'll get our manager right away. Please w

"Yes."Charles' attention was drawn to Noelle's feet. He found them unusually attractive.Though not a foot fetishist, he genuinely liked Noelle's feet. He smiled slightly. "They do look very nice!"He had thought these shoes would suit Noelle earlier, but seeing them on her was even more astonishing. "Ms. Shaw, they look great on you!"Noelle blushed slightly. "Well, I'm glad you like them," she said, sitting down to remove the shoes.At that moment, the manager arrived after being called in by the sales attendant. He wondered who could be causing such trouble that it required his intervention. As soon as he entered and saw Charles, his eyes widened in surprise.Especially when he saw Charles crouching down to help a woman take off her shoes. It revealed a rare gentle side of him.The manager was quite frightened, never expecting Charles to be there personally. "Mr. Charles, what brings you here?"Mr. Charles Hoffman?Annie and Suzy exchanged looks. They had speculated about

Liliana's arm throbbed where Sean had grabbed it, but she bit her lip, refusing to give in. "I didn't do it on purpose. I had no idea she invited you.""Oh, you didn't know? Isn't she supposed to be your best friend?" Sean's voice was edged with sarcasm. "Or maybe this was your plan all along?""I didn't!" Liliana felt a tightness in her chest at his accusation.She pulled her arm free from his grasp, her face twisted with both anger and shame. "I truly didn't know.""Who knows what the truth is?" Sean said with a light laugh, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Tania doesn't know about us, and you think you're in the dark too? What if Tania found out who you really are? Would she...""Don't."Liliana's voice was loud and full of panic. "Please don't tell Tania." Deep down, she was being selfish. She did not want Tania to find out about her secrets.When she first became friends with Tania, all she wanted was a simple friendship. She did not want Tania to know about her embarrassi

The next few moments dragged on painfully for Liliana. She would have bolted if Tania, her best friend, had not been there.She felt that neither Sean nor Peter wanted to see her around.She did not want to be near them either.Peter was a mystery she did not dare to unravel, and as for Sean...Liliana snuck a peek at Sean when no one was looking. It had been over a month since she had last seen him, and despite herself, she was thrilled.She tried to bury her feelings in work every day, but she knew how hard it was to forget Sean completely.They had promised not to meet again, yet there they were. He could not possibly think she planned this encounter, could he?As Liliana watched Sean and lost herself in thought, she noticed him suddenly glance her way. She quickly turned away, dodging his gaze.Liliana felt like she was a thief caught red-handed when she unexpectedly ran into Sean.Upon laying eyes on Liliana, Sean could not quite figure out what he was feeling.They had

Tania's lips quivered, as if she wanted to say more, but seeing Liliana so determined, she held back.However, as Tania paid, she leaned in and whispered something to the cashier, then scribbled down an address. "Make sure it gets here, okay?"Tania settled the bill, grabbed the shopping bags, and linked arms with Liliana as they headed out. "Liliana, you're joining me for dinner tonight!"No backing out this time. You've canceled on me too many times already.""Okay, fine!"Liliana had no idea that Tania's dinner invitation also included Peter. If she had known, she would have stayed far away. When Liliana returned from the restroom, she found not just Tania and Peter, but also Sean sitting there. Her first instinct was to turn around and leave.She was about to do just that, her foot already inching backward, when Tania caught sight of her. "Liliana, where are you off to? We're right here!"Frozen in place, Liliana could not seem to move a muscle.Standing with her back to th

Seeing Joanna in a new light, her friend still tried to be supportive. "Joanna, don't listen to that lady's wild stories. You and Mr. Smith are the perfect pair. You’re both so smart and good-looking. Everyone at the hospital is jealous of you guys! I bet she doesn't even know Mr. Smith, and she probably doesn't have a rich boyfriend either!"As she spoke, Joanna's friend watched her closely. She saw Joanna's worry fade away after her words. Joanna replied with a hint of frustration, "I don't know why she said that. I wasn’t even in the same faculty as her, but we were involved in a school event together once. We were in a competition together back then. I never thought she cared about it that much!"Joanna mentioned the school beauty contest she and Tania were in, suggesting there might be some old rivalry between them.Joanna's friend knew exactly what was happening. She was getting to see all the drama for free but did not want to call Joanna out. After all, they were coworkers a

"Look, you’re my junior.” Joanna had not expected Tania to say something like that in front of her friend. It was impossible for her to maintain her dignity at this point.What would her friend think if she owned up to it? If she denied it, what was Tania going to do?Tania watched Joanna's face turn beet red, a smile playing on her lips the whole time.Truth be told, Tania did not have beef with Joanna. However, she was Peter's girlfriend, and she knew Sean, so she could not stand watching Joanna strut around, lying and using Sean's good name."Look, Joanna, I'm not trying to be mean or anything. I just think your friend isn’t really thinking about how you feel, you know? You say you're single, yet she's out here telling everyone you're taken. How's that going to help you find a real boyfriend, right?"Joanna's nails were digging into her skin, but she did not even notice. She was drowning in embarrassment, and it was all Tania's fault."I don't know what I did to make you mad,

Joanna looked a bit upset. She was used to being the star everywhere she went, with everyone always fussing over her.However, Tania and Liliana did not seem to notice her at all.Tania slipped out of her dress and had it neatly packaged. She strolled over to a quiet corner and began flipping through a magazine.Meanwhile, Joanna and her friend were browsing through racks of clothes, chatting about which ones were the prettiest. Joanna's friend could not stop mentioning Sean, insisting that Joanna would look stunning in certain outfits and that Sean would surely be impressed.Tania watched Joanna with a smirk and called out, "Hey, Joanna!"Joanna and her friend paused and turned to Tania. "What's going on?" Joanna asked."Oh, nothing, really. I’m just curious—Joanna, are you and Mr. Smith together now?" Tania asked with feigned innocence. "I thought Sean turned you down before!""You...""Turned her down? Don't make things up. Our Joanna and Mr. Smith are very much an item!" Jo

The woman with Joanna gushed, "You're so lucky! Your boyfriend Sean is so handsome and rich, and your future mother-in-law adores you too!""Please, you're making me blush. Sean and I aren't even official yet." Joanna laughed off the compliment."It's only a matter of time. Everyone at the hospital knows you two are an item. And your future mother-in-law is so generous, showering you with gifts. You wouldn't believe how many people are green with envy!""You're making it sound too good to be true!"As Liliana overheard Joanna and the woman's conversation about Sean, she felt like a creep for eavesdropping.Yes, Sean had been with Joanna for a while. Where did that leave Liliana?She had been with Sean, which explained why he was so cold that day. He must have really disliked her, or else it would not have made sense.Liliana squeezed her hands together, trying hard not to eavesdrop on Joanna and the other woman's chat. However, their words floated to her ears, every single one c

She signed the contract and decided to give Liliana some time off, hoping it would help her shake off the blues from that unhappy evening.Ever since Liliana came back from Cascade City, she had been quiet. Her life was work, work, and nothing but work.

Adalee had just stepped out of her room when she ran into Sean. Sean's face was stormy as he walked past, not even noticing Adalee."Mister..." Adalee called, but Sean did not even look back.Adalee's brows knitted together in worry. She rushed to Liliana's door and called, "Liliana? Liliana?"Adalee did not hear Liliana answer, so she knocked again. "Liliana, are you in there?"After Sean left, Liliana could not stop the tears from coming. However, she did not let herself cry loudly. It was just a quiet, steady sob.When she heard the knock at the door, Liliana quickly stopped crying.She bit her lip, hurried to put on her clothes, and dried her eyes.Adalee waited outside, not leaving before she heard from Liliana. Liliana had no choice but to open the door.As soon as Adalee saw her, she noticed her red, puffy eyes and the marks on her face and neck.
