"Where's Noelle?" Yitty glanced around but did not see her, so her gaze locked on Sean. "Sean, where is she?"Sean frowned. "Aunt Yitty, why are all of you here?" Though reluctant, he stood up and took a look at his family. What he saw nearly made him stumble as nearly the entire Smith family had shown up.Not only were Yisroel and Yitty present, but his parents, Hayes and Savannah, too. Hazel Smith, his third aunt who had been living abroad for years, was present as well.Sean massaged his forehead. "Grandpa, Mom, Dad, you all—""Enough of your nonsense! I'm asking you where she is!" Yisroel snapped at Sean and then raised his cane, aiming it at Harrison. "You ungrateful son! Didn't you say you were meeting my granddaughter? Where is she?"Harrison winced as the cane struck him, his face paling slightly. He stood up and said, "Dad, Noelle went to the restroom. She'll—"His gaze shifted to Charles. "Dad, this is Noelle's husband."Yisroel squinted as he turned his sharp gaze to

Sean really did not want to say it, but with such a massive group here, it was not just Noelle—anyone would be startled. If she saw this scene, she would probably want to run."Mrs. Hoffman, why are you standing outside?"The manager, who was carrying a tray of food, noticed Noelle standing at the doorway. Glancing inside, he was momentarily startled by the crowd. If someone did not know better, they might think a mob had come seeking revenge.Everyone in the private room turned their heads toward the door upon hearing voices outside."Noelle!" Yitty exclaimed."What? Is this Noelle? My biological granddaughter?" Yisroel rushed forward eagerly, carefully examining Noelle. He nodded repeatedly with a look of satisfaction on his face. "Ah, good, very good!"Noelle stood awkwardly in place, clutching Anna's hand. The grip tightened due to her nervousness, causing Anna to scrunch up her face."Aunt Noelle, it hurts!" Anna complained.Snapping out of her thoughts, Noelle immediately

After receiving Charles' approval, the manager quickly instructed the staff to prepare. The larger private room on the east side was ready in no time. The group moved en masse, with Charles carrying Anna in one arm and holding Noelle's hand with the other.They led the way, while the Smith family followed behind, whispering among themselves."Sean, you're familiar with this Charles, right? What's he like? Is he good to Noelle?" Yisroel asked.Sean could not help but roll his eyes. "He's good, very good." If Charles was not, would this meeting even have been arranged? Would he have gone to such lengths to advocate for Noelle?Still, since the question came from Yisroel, Sean answered more seriously, "Charles is incredibly devoted. Back when Noelle and I barely knew each other, whenever she faced difficulties, it was always Charles who stepped in to help."Yisroel nodded as he was visibly pleased. "Good, good. That's all I need to hear. I was worried this young man might be unfaithf

"Grandpa, why are you still carrying Grandma's pendant around with you?" Sean interjected when he noticed Noelle's awkwardness."You brat, what do you know? Your grandma didn't get to travel much when she was alive. Carrying this with me on my trips is like having her accompany me," Yisroel explained with a sentimental tone before turning back to Noelle, his expression softening."Noelle, just take it."Noelle swallowed hard. "Um… Sir Smith, there's no need for this!"Initially, she did not want to accept it, but she felt even more reluctant after Sean's comment. This was the Smith family's heirloom, something that surely carried great importance. It did not sit well with her that Yisroel would disregard his own children and grandchildren to give it to her.Hearing her refusal, Yisroel's face immediately fell. He looked at Noelle with a pitiful expression. "Do you think it's not valuable enough? Don't worry, this is just a small token for our first meeting. I have plenty more trea

Sean chuckled. "Charles, come outside and spar with me."Charles narrowed his eyes and glanced at Noelle. Seeing her give him a reassuring nod, he rose from his seat and scooped Anna into his arms.Once Charles and Sean stepped out, the expansive private room suddenly felt quiet and empty, leaving only Harrison and Noelle.All of Harrison's usual sternness seemed to dissolve in Noelle's presence. He shifted uneasily in his chair, and his posture betrayed his discomfort. "Noelle—""Mr. Smith," Noelle interrupted, her tone calm but firm. She pressed her lips together before continuing, "I understand what you wish to say. I'm glad the Smith family members seem to like me very much."Harrison nodded. There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "They really do like you.""But Mr. Smith, just because they like me doesn't mean I can casually call someone my grandparents, uncles, or aunts.""We're your family, Noelle," Harrison said earnestly.Noelle lifted her head, her gaze unwavering.

Harrison's face briefly showed a flicker of disappointment, but he managed a smile and said, "Alright, I won't pressure you. If you change your mind and decide to acknowledge me one day, you're always welcome to come to the Smiths.""Mr. Smith!" Noelle suddenly called out. "I'm your daughter, and Kelly is the daughter of Flynn Anderson from Capiton. Am I correct?"Harrison froze at her words, his entire body stiffening.He clenched his fists tightly. Noelle could feel the tense hostility emanating from him though he remained composed, keeping his emotions in check."I don't know the exact nature of your past relationship with Shirley, nor do I wish to know how things might unfold between you two in the future," Noelle said evenly. "But let me make one thing clear. Even if I someday decide to acknowledge you, I'll never acknowledge her."Noelle stood up. "It's getting late. You should head back."With that, she left. She joined Charles and Anna, who were waiting for her at the doo

Yisroel, having just stepped off the plane, immediately heard about the situation from his daughter-in-law. He ordered his people to find out where Harrison was dining without delay and rushed over as soon as he got the address. "Just look at you! At your age, you're still running around doing God knows what! You're completely irresponsible!""Dad!" Harrison frowned. "What have I done that's irresponsible?""How dare you ask me this? You left for Capiton 25 years ago. What exactly have you been up to there?" Yisroel's frustration flared as he glared at Harrison."Don't think I'm clueless about your antics. I just didn't want to waste my energy dealing with you. Let me make this clear—Noelle must be acknowledged and brought back into the Smith family. That's non-negotiable. As for that woman, Shirley, she'll never be accepted by us—ever!"Yisroel's tone was resolute and left no room for debate. "If you insist on clinging to that woman, don't blame me for casting you out and cutting

The other members of the Smith family frowned at the sight of Harrison's expression. "Harrison!"Harrison, however, kept his gaze fixed on Shirley. "You chose to be with me back then. You said it was for life, Madison!"Shirley's heart clenched painfully. She did not dare look into Harrison's eyes. Clenching her fists tightly, she turned her head away and bit down hard on her lower lip."Look me in the eye, Madison. I don't believe it—I don't believe you've forgotten.""Ha, what's so hard to believe?" Shirley closed her eyes briefly as if recalling something. When she looked up again, her eyes were devoid of any sorrow, replaced by a cold indifference as she stared at Harrison."Don't you remember? That Madison is dead—murdered. And one of the killers was you. The person standing here now is just an empty shell. I'm Shirley now, just Shirley."Shirley stepped closer to Harrison, her gaze unwavering. Raising a trembling hand, she gently touched Harrison's strong, resolute face—the

This wedding was nothing short of spectacular. Every moment was meticulously recorded by a dedicated team, with cameras set up throughout the venue to capture every detail of the ceremony from all angles.Charles and Noelle barely had a moment to rest as they moved from table to table, toasting guests with endless glasses of wine. The atmosphere remained lively and joyous deep into the night. It was not until the early hours of the morning that Noelle finally helped Charles to a private lounge on the second floor of the hotel.Though many had stepped in to shield them from excessive drinking, there was no avoiding the celebratory nature of the occasion. The alcohol had inevitably taken its toll. After settling Charles onto the couch, Noelle fetched some honey water and a warm towel before returning to his side.Charles lay slightly on his side, propping his chin up with one hand. Noelle sat beside him and handed him the towel, but he did not reach for it.Sighing, she called soft

Sean clicked his tongue, shaking his head in amusement. "Charles, your body is here, but your heart is clearly somewhere else."Then, as if making an even bigger discovery, he gestured toward a spot not far away. "Oh, I say, Charles, this is a real crisis. See that?"With the enthusiasm of someone who thrived on drama, Sean pointed at Noelle and Grant. "I don't know, man. That guy doesn't look like he's here with good intentions."Charles raised an eyebrow, his gaze darkening as it settled on Noelle and Grant. He gripped his glass a little tighter, but his eyes refused to move away from them. Still, his words were dismissive. "He's just another big brother-in-law. That's all.""Yeah, right. Just admit it—he's a strong rival."The second Sean finished speaking, he felt an icy stare pierce through him. Charles' glare was sharp enough to cut. "Hmm? What did you just say?""Nothing!" Sean swallowed hard, instantly backtracking. Dear god, a jealous man was terrifying!"You think he's

Grant's eyes carried too many emotions—too many things unspoken. Noelle could not fully understand, but she could sense that there was something significant behind his words.The diary in her hands had to hold something important that was possibly related to the past she had forgotten. Perhaps they were the lost pieces of her memory that she had always assumed were not crucial.She had assumed so because otherwise, she would have recalled them after all these years. Besides, they had not seemed to affect her life in any meaningful way.Over time, she had gradually let go of the idea of remembering.Yet now, with Grant handing her this diary, an unsettling feeling crept over her as if she had forgotten something incredibly important—something she could not afford to lose.Holding the diary tightly, Noelle felt a strange mix of emotions that she could not quite describe.She hesitated before murmuring, "Thank you."In the end, she did not ask Grant where he had gotten the diary.

"Alright!" Charles took the glass from Bob's hand and downed it in one go.Standing beside him, Noelle opened her mouth slightly and reached out to tug at Charles' arm. "Charlie… Take it easy!"With so many guests around, Charles had already had quite a bit to drink. If they kept pushing more onto him, how would he handle it?Noelle looked at him with concern, but Charles simply smiled and gently patted the back of her hand. "I'm fine.""Oh, wow, are you showing off your love for each other right in front of us? Are you trying to make us single folks suffer?"Simon chimed in, fueling the lively atmosphere. He had always been the laid-back type, and now, paired with Sean, the two seemed to hit it off instantly. They were like long-lost partners in crime. They exchanged a knowing glance, clearly set on making Charles drink more.Noelle wanted to say something, but seeing the calm look Charles gave her, she hesitated and eventually let them have their fun.With that, Charles was dr

Charles opened the gift box, revealing a pair of crystal flats. Noelle was surprised, but before she could react, Charles had already removed her heels and was carefully helping her into the new shoes.Gasps of astonishment rippled through the crowd, and Noelle could not help but feel a little embarrassed. However, Charles remained completely focused, his movements gentle and precise as he secured the flats on her feet before helping her stand again.The moment Noelle stood up, she immediately felt much more comfortable. However, a new problem arose.Her wedding gown had been tailored for the height of her heels, and now, with the flats, she had suddenly lost nearly three inches. It caused the hem of her dress to drag awkwardly on the floor. It looked far from elegant.Noelle shot a troubled look at Charles. Without hesitation, he crouched down once more. With a few effortless movements, he gathered the outer layers of her gown, tying them into a casual knot at the side.Noelle's

"Grandpa, Granddad!" Noelle called out, holding Charles's hand as they approached. Sebastian waved them over, "Noelle, come to my side!" Holding Charles's hand, Noelle walked up to Sebastian and let go to hug his arm, "Granddad!""There's my sweet girl!" Sebastian's eyes twinkled with joy as he looked at Noelle and Charles.Charles's lips were always tipped with a gentle smile, and he joined Noelle, saying, "Granddad!""Yes, wonderful!"Finally, the big day came—a wedding with a beautiful ceremony.Sebastian was really proud of Charles, his star student. Then, Noelle married Charles, and Sebastian felt a huge relief, as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.Sebastian felt a little sad thinking about Noelle getting married for real. He pulled a small box from his pocket and said, "Your grandma got this from her family when she was alive. Now, I want you to have it!""No, I can't take this!" Noelle said quickly when she heard it was from her grandma.However, Sebastian sh

"Wow, I can't believe that just happened!""Look at that! Charles is actually so considerate and gentle—it’s hard to believe!”Charles slipped the crystal shoes onto Noelle's feet and then scooped her up in his arms. With that, the noisy crowd made their way out of the place.Outside the place, a line of fancy cars waited. People climbed in, and they all set off for the hotel.As the luxury cars rolled away from the Smith residence, reporters followed, eager to capture every moment of the spectacle.Even though the Hoffmans and the Smiths had told the press to stay out of certain areas, they could not stop them from snapping pictures on the public streets. So, the day's big moments ended up all over the internet.In front of the hotel run by the Nexus Group, car after car pulled up and parked. The whole street had been cleared out just for today's wedding party.Charles, looking sharp in his white suit, stepped out of the car and turned his back to the door. A pretty figure in w

The church was alive with love and happiness, the air buzzing with laughter, congratulations, and heartfelt connections. For a moment, Charles stood still, holding Noelle’s hand, soaking in the overwhelming joy that surrounded them. It wasn’t just the ceremony that made the day special—it was the people they loved, the memories they’d shared, and the future they were about to build together.As the crowd slowly began to disperse, the newlyweds, still smiling and basking in the glow of their love, made their way out of the church, ready to begin the rest of their lives together.Just then, the bridesmaids—Kelly, Liliana and Linda—and the groomsmen—Sean, Peter, and the others—emerged from the church. They were all smiling, but especially Sean, who had his usual carefree, playful attitude. He walked up behind Charles as if he were about to give him a friendly shove.However, before Sean could do anything else, it was obvious that Charles was not pleased with him at all. With a quick mo

Meanwhile, Charles caught sight of his mother, Clarisse and father, Mateo, both of them beaming with pride. Clarisse's eyes were bright with tears as she dabbed at them with a tissue, while Mateo's face was etched with a quiet, proud smile."Charles!" Clarisse called out, her voice thick with emotion. She was barely holding it together, and her hands trembled as she waved him over for a hug. Charles went to her, his heart swelling, and pulled her into his arms. "I'm so proud of you," she whispered, and the emotion in her voice made his chest tighten. He pulled back, giving her a soft smile, and then hugged Mateo, who patted him on the back."Don't you go breaking her heart, Charles," Mateo said with a wink, making everyone nearby laugh. It was a comment Charles had heard many times before, but today, it carried a deeper, more heartfelt meaning.He turned to Noelle, and she smiled at him, her eyes crinkling at the corners in that way he loved. Her parents were waiting for her, and
