"No way!" Noelle quickly gestured with her hands. "That's not me!"She hesitated. "Well, do you think it's me?"Sean quirked an eyebrow. "If it’s not you, then who would it be?" The answer hit him almost instantly—Kelly. That woman.How had he overlooked it? Kelly and Noelle shared such a striking resemblance, so she looked a lot like Shirley too. “Did you go to that press conference yesterday about the scandal that’s all over the news?"Noelle nodded quickly, and just like that, everything clicked for Sean.That explained the late-night call from Charles. Even though Kelly was the one in the spotlight, Noelle must have had her doubts, prompting Charles to reach out to him.Putting two and two together, Sean got straight to the point. "Are you trying to figure out how you're connected to this Shirley? Or are you curious about your connection to Kelly, Grant, and the Andersons?"Noelle had harbored all these suspicions, but Sean's candidness still made her cheeks warm with embarr

"What?""Uncle had a fiancée back in the day.""Who?""Get this! It was Noelle's mom, Jade.""What?" A flicker of shock crossed Charles's narrow eyes. "You're telling me Uncle Harrison was engaged to Jade?""Yeah," Sean said, taking a sip of water and pausing momentarily. "I mean, it's wild how small our world is, right?" He was just as shocked when he first heard. "Jade is the last person you'd picture as a high-society debutante. But my aunt really thought she would be perfect for the part. Back in the day, Jade and my aunt were really close. I guess Jade wasn't as fiery back then! My aunt mentioned that Jade had a bit of a crush on my Uncle Harrison. But something went down, and Uncle Harrison took off to Capiton while Jade got married, as we know.”Charles squinted, caught off guard by the backstory. "What happened next?" He leaned in, eager for the rest of the story."There's not much to tell. Uncle Harrison never really came back after heading to Capiton. Word is that he s

"Don't worry. I'm on it. The Canfield family's after my project, and Yankel's gonna have to cough up something big in return.""Good, just hurry it up. Bobby's sickness isn't waiting for anyone." Sean's heart ached at the thought of Bobby in the hospital bed and Liliana's daily distress. "You don't want Liliana to go through another ordeal, do you? The nightmare from three years ago still haunts her. Bobby can't afford a crisis right now.""I've got it under control. Anything else?" Charles's tone was dismissive, clearly signaling the end of the conversation.Sean rubbed his nose, a bit miffed. "Don't get too comfy kicking people to the curb once they’re done helping you!"Charles's laugh was icy, his eyes glinting with a dare. "Oh, it can get even more satisfying. Do you want to give it a shot?"Grinding his teeth in frustration, Sean balled his fists and gave Charles a defiant wave. "You’re playing hardball, Charles. Just remember this when you come begging for a favor.""Isn't

Brian's expression turned odd, and he shifted uncomfortably under Noelle's steady gaze. "It's nothing, really. It's just that I've been trying to reach her, and she seems to be busy all the time. Or maybe she hasn't seen my messages?"Noelle's face lit up with realization. She figured that Teresa and Brian had not been in touch lately, and that was probably why Brian was on the lookout for her. Noelle's eyes twinkled with mischief, convinced that the pair must have good chemistry. She pretended to mull it over for a bit before saying with a touch of hesitation. "Well, it's not really a big deal. Teresa just went to some social event not too long ago, so she probably made a couple of new friends, you know?""A social event? New friends?"Brian zeroed in on those words, narrowing his eyes at Noelle. "Ms. Saunders went to some kind of social event?" He looked totally shocked, as if he could not wrap his head around the idea of Teresa going on what sounded like blind dates.Noelle ca

Brian had been away on a business trip just a few days ago. He was planning to pick up some gifts to bring home, so he reached out to Teresa to get some ideas, but she never got back to him.Brian tried contacting Teresa when he was back in town again, but his messages might as well have vanished into thin air. That was why he was testing the waters today, but he had not expected Noelle to hit him with such a bombshell.Teresa was seeing someone? Seriously? How had he missed that?He begrudgingly guessed it made sense, considering Teresa’s radio silence."If there's nothing else, Mr. Parker, I'm going to head out.""Sure."Brian nodded, his mind elsewhere. He only breathed a sigh of relief once Noelle walked out. He stared at his phone, wrestling with whether to call Teresa and congratulate her.Did he really want to congratulate her?Noelle left the project department with a grin she could barely contain. She wanted to burst out laughing, but this was the office, after all. Sh

"Well, that's not a given. Brian's always been the master of self-control. Maybe he's just not used to the situation yet. But if he figures out you're playing him, I bet...""Why overthink it?" Noelle brushed off Charles’ concern with a wave of her hand. "When it comes to love, someone's gotta make the first move. You've got to take a leap of faith, right? Did you forget how we got together? If you hadn't made your move, none of our amazing stories would've happened, would it?"Charles's gaze intensified. "You're right, as always!"Noelle's eyes crinkled with a mischievous glint, her playful look sending a tingle through Charles. He gently tousled her hair and let out a wistful sigh. "Here's to hoping your friend gets her happily ever after!""That's the spirit!""Yep!" Charles agreed with a nod. "It's time for Brian to step out of the shadows. Maybe your friend is the fresh start he needs!"Noelle's thoughts drifted back to a past conversation with Charles. He had mentioned that

"What's our next move, sir?"Ellis had been with Harrison for a long time, yet he still found it hard to predict his boss's thoughts, let alone make any assumptions about his desires.Ellis had long realized that Shirley was the only person who could ever shake Harrison's composure. At the same time, she always seemed to rub him the wrong way. Despite that, Harrison's dedication to her was unwavering.Harrison declared with a glint of mischief and malice in his eyes, "I can't see Grant keeping someone's loyalty for a lifetime. Start a rumor that Shirley's going to a movie premiere in a few days!"Ellis hesitated, looking at Harrison with concern. "Sir, with Shirley's health being the way it is, she can't possibly attend any event!"Getting Shirley on her feet was hard enough, much less getting her out the door!Harrison's gaze, sharp as ice, landed on Ellis. "That's not your concern. Just handle it. By the way, doesn't Kelly have a kid with her?""Yes. Rumor has it that he’s an

"Harrison, you’re a complete monster!" Shirley's voice was weak from a day without food. Her head was spinning, and her vision was swimming. She had been so loud before, but she was drained of energy now.However, she refused to face defeat in front of Harrison.Shirley pushed herself up from the floor. Her frame was so frail that it seemed like a strong breeze could whisk her away.After sitting for so long, she stumbled as she tried to stand, nearly collapsing back to the ground.Bracing herself against the wall, Shirley's defiant gaze met Harrison's. "Do you really think you can keep me locked up forever?"Harrison chuckled calmly. "Shirley, you've been at this game for years, but you haven’t improved at all!" He reached out, gripping her chin firmly and forcing her to meet his eyes.Shirley stood tall, her pride and defiance shining through. She would not show any sign of weakness in front of Harrison. "It just has to work," she declared."Work?" Harrison gave her a look lik

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Kelly hurried into the room. "Are you alright?"A clear and crisp voice echoed above her. Noelle was initially startled, and she looked up to see that it was Kelly.The sight of Kelly replaced her pain with surprise. "You…" Why was she here?Before Noelle could finish her sentence, she bent over again, clearly in discomfort."What's wrong? Are you having an episode?""An episode?" Noelle looked up at Kelly, confused. "What episode?""I'm just experiencing fetal movement. The babies have been very active lately," Noelle explained, studying Kelly's face. The concern on Kelly's face quickly turned to surprise."Why are you here?"Noelle could not fathom why Kelly would visit. To her, there was not any connection between them—at least not one Kelly was aware of. Kelly's presence was baffling.However, she could not ignore the strange way Kelly looked at her. "I'm having twins, so my belly looks bigger than usual. These past few days, the babi

Grant's gaze flickered briefly, almost imperceptibly, before he avoided Kelly's question altogether. "It's getting late. I'll have Kresten drive you there."His words made it clear that he was not willing to answer. Knowing Grant's temperament, Kelly understood that pushing further would yield no results. She did not press the issue. "Then please watch over Seth for me. I'll be back soon."When Kelly went downstairs, she saw Kresten already waiting for her. Kresten quickly stepped forward and opened the car door. "Ms. Anderson, please get in."Kelly nodded and got into the car. As soon as she settled, she began to feel a twinge of regret. But deep down, she knew she could not turn back now.She wanted to see Noelle—the sister she had unknowingly been separated from for more than 20 years, someone who shared the same fate as her.The thought of having a sister was entirely new to Kelly. It was an odd and unfamiliar feeling. Memories of their past interactions flooded her mind. No

Seth nodded, tilting his head as he looked at Kelly. "Mommy, you cried."Though young, Seth was incredibly perceptive. Noticing Kelly's red eyes, his small, soft hand reached out to gently rub her cheek.He even leaned closer and blew softly on her face. "Don't cry, Mommy!""I didn't cry, not at all," Kelly said while patting Seth's back gently.There was an apologetic look on her face. "I just forgot to make dinner for you tonight.""Then, Mommy, let's eat out! Seth has money—lots and lots of money. Seth will treat Mommy to some meat!"Seth's sweet, innocent words made Kelly's eyes redden again, but she smiled and nodded. "Alright, Seth. Change your clothes. I'll take you out for dinner, okay?"Later that evening, Kelly sat holding Seth while watching TV, but her mind could not stop drifting back to Noelle's face.Grant's words replayed in her head: she and Noelle were full-blooded sisters, sharing both parents.Kelly looked down at Seth, her thoughts in turmoil. She could

"Are you sure it's a virus?" Kelly asked, her voice trembling slightly."Yes," Grant replied with a firm nod, his sharp eyes fixed on her.He could see the disbelief and shock in Kelly's gaze, along with traces of guilt and unease.However, Kelly suddenly laughed, and she turned her head to face Grant. "Noelle has a virus, so she should go see a doctor. Why are you coming to me? Ha! It's ridiculous that Charles still wants to get me involved when his wife is sick. Why?""Kelly, this virus is extremely rare," Grant explained, his tone steady. "Sean currently doesn't have a clear treatment, but he mentioned one potential solution."Kelly's eyes flickered slightly, betraying a crack in her facade. "If there's a solution, then try it.""Sean believes we need to extract active enzymes from the blood of her closest relatives. Harrison and Shirley should already be at the hospital."Kelly froze again, her lips pressing into a thin line."Oh," she replied, feigning calm, though her emo

Grant noticed Kelly's reluctance to look at the documents and frowned slightly before speaking in an indifferent tone. "You don't have to look at it if you don't want to. After all, it's your decision whether to accept it or not."He placed the file on the table, his tone calm and detached, as though this matter had nothing to do with him.However, Kelly was far from calm. She glared at him, her voice trembling with suppressed anger. "If that's the case, why did you bring it here? Why did you agree? Why…"Her voice grew louder as she yelled at Grant, her emotions spiraling out of control. The noise startled Seth, who was sleeping in the other room.Hearing Seth's cries, Kelly immediately pushed past Grant and rushed into the room to scoop him into her arms. "Seth, don't cry. Mommy's here!""Mommy!" Seth clung tightly to her, his little hands grasping at her clothes."Yes, Mommy's here," Kelly murmured, cradling him as she gently patted his back. She hummed a soothing tune into hi

Kelly's feelings toward Grant were complicated. Growing up, her impression of him was not strong, and they certainly could not be described as having a close sibling bond.Later, Grant left the Andersons, disappearing to places unknown. When he finally returned, Kelly did not stay in Capiton for long before coming to Brookville.After that came the incident that changed everything, ultimately sending her abroad."Aren't you going to invite me in?" Grant glanced inside.Kelly frowned slightly. Although she seemed reluctant, she did not refuse and stepped aside to make way. "Come in. But I don't have much here, so I'm afraid I might not be the best host.""No problem."Grant noticed how much colder Kelly's demeanor had become. As he stepped into the modest apartment, he casually observed its simple layout.It was hard to reconcile this Kelly, living in such a sparse place, with the pampered young woman who once never lifted a finger.Feeling somewhat uneasy, Kelly closed the door

Kelly had been spending the past few days with Seth, whose health had improved significantly. After the recent incident, Kelly stayed in Brookville for a while, using the time to reflect deeply. One of the reasons she had not left Brookville was because of Seth's biological father.It had been almost four years. Not too long, yet not short either.Kelly thought she had let it go, but the DNA report comparing Seth with Maxwell made her hesitate once again.She always knew Seth was not Charles' child. She was fully aware of who the father was, yet his true identity remained a mystery.During those months four years ago, that man had stayed by her side, sharing a deeply unforgettable time with her. It was so unforgettable that she had pushed aside questions about his identity or purpose, choosing instead to immerse herself in the moment with him.Yet she was nothing more than a pawn for him to use against the Hoffmans in the end.Strangely, Charles had been absent from Brookville du

Grant's expression turned ice-cold in an instant. "What are you planning to do?""Kelly is Noelle's biological sister. Sean said only enzymes extracted from close relatives' blood might save Noelle. Whether it works or not, I have to try," Charles replied. His gaze was intense in a way Grant had never seen before.Grant had not expected to ever witness such an expression on Charles' face. He frowned deeply but eventually nodded. "I'll try, but she still doesn't know she's part of the Smith family.""You didn't tell her?" Charles was visibly surprised. He had assumed Grant would have already told Kelly the truth.Now, hearing that Kelly had no idea about her connection to Noelle or the Smith family, Charles was taken aback."I'll bring her over as soon as I can. Give me some time.""Fine, but don't take too long. Nelly can't wait," Charles said firmly. He understood that revealing the truth to Kelly and convincing her to help Noelle would not be easy. However, since Grant had ag

Sean emerged with a somber expression. "Margaret has confirmed that there's a fresh needle mark on Noelle's arm. That shadow from earlier must have injected something into her, which likely triggered her immediate symptoms."Charles clenched his fists, the sound of his knuckles cracking filling the tense air. "What's the plan?""Before the virus spreads too deeply, we could try using blood from Noelle's close relatives to extract certain components that might counteract it," Sean explained.Charles narrowed his eyes. "Be clearer. What are you suggesting?""This idea isn't fully tested. I only came across it in medical literature, and there's no guarantee it will work. If the virus hasn't invaded her bone marrow, we might still have a chance."Charles' expression eased slightly, but a hint of apprehension lingered. He glanced at Sean, who hesitated before continuing. "We need to call in Uncle Harrison and Shirley. Ideally, we should also bring Kelly here.""Fine!"Harrison arrive
