Eli breathed a sigh of relief at Charles' words. "As expected, Mr. Charles. You've thought of everything."Charles nodded and helped Noelle sit down to rest. Meanwhile, Jade's sharp eyes remained fixed on Noelle, filled with undisguised malice.After receiving Charles' call, Sean immediately summoned a team of doctors who promptly entered the operating room. Sean's arrival acted as a calming presence for Noelle, easing some of her tension."Charles, come over for a moment," Sean said, beckoning Charles aside. Noelle was left to sit alone. She remained motionless, and her eyes were glued to the door of the operating room.Deep down, Noelle was scared. The love she had received growing up had largely come from Sebastian and Samuel. To her, they were the closest family she had ever known.Noelle had never seriously contemplated the inevitability of aging or death before. However, today's events forced her to confront these realities.She was growing older, and so was Samuel—a truth

Noelle froze, her gaze settling on Winter, who sat in a daze. Her eyes darkened with thought."Why are you staring at Winter? What are you plotting now? Trying to scheme against us again?" Jade accused. Her prejudice against Noelle was clear in her sharp words.Noelle's expression remained cold as she replied, "Madam Shaw, your words are truly amusing. What schemes could I possibly have against you? However, this does remind me of something. "Earlier today, Winter approached me in private, also asking for the shares. I told her I had sold them. Winter got furious and stormed off, isn't that right?"Hearing her name, Winter abruptly lifted her head and shot to her feet. Her bloodshot eyes locked onto Noelle's with a furious glare."Noelle, you wretch! Why are you here? It was you, wasn't it? You did this on purpose! You deliberately told me that Grandpa knew you sold the shares to provoke me into confronting him. You made me argue with him! You pushed me to upset him! What's your

Jade and Winter were completely terrified, and even Julian realized the gravity of the situation. "Uh… Mr. Hoffman, um… Charlie…"Charles cast a sharp glare in Julian's direction, and Julian immediately fell silent."Heh," Sean interjected as he arrived, glancing at the Shaws before shifting his gaze to Noelle and Charles. "I wasn't even gone for long, Charles, and yet your wife has already been bullied!"Sean's tone carried a hint of mockery, making his comment sting even more. His words were like pouring gasoline on a fire.Jade could practically feel the flames of fury emanating from Charles. She scrambled to her feet, clutching Julian's shirt. "Jule, please explain it to Mr. Hoffman! I didn't… I didn't mean to!""It was clear as day that you did it intentionally!" Sean raised an eyebrow, clearly enjoying the chaos."Forget that she's Charles' wife now. Let's talk about the fact that she's now Noelle Smith, the Smith family's treasured daughter. Ms. Winter, do you think the Sm

"You…" Jade and Winter were completely caught off guard by the mention of surveillance footage.Their faces turned pale instantly. "I…"Just then, the doors to the operating room opened, and the lead surgeon stepped out, addressing Sean, "Dr. Smith!"Sean nodded. "How's Sir Shaw?""We've managed to save him for now, but Sir Shaw previously suffered a stroke. This time, the surge in blood pressure caused him to have a heart attack. The situation was triggered by extreme emotional stress. Given his age and declining health, the outlook is not optimistic even though we've saved his life.""What do you mean by that, doctor?" Noelle asked, picking up on the doctor's grave tone. Her brows furrowed tightly. "What exactly do you mean?"The doctor glanced at Noelle, then at Sean. Only after Sean gave a slight nod did the doctor continue, "The patient's heart is severely weakened. Although he was resuscitated, the combination of the heart attack and a second stroke means he'll likely be be

Winter and Jade were trembling with rage, but there was absolutely nothing they could do against Noelle.They knew very well that Noelle's boldness came from the Hoffmans and the Smiths backing her. Unfortunately for them, they were no match for either family."Jule, what do we do now?" Jade asked, her voice filled with panic."Do what?" Julian was on the verge of losing his temper with Jade and Winter. These two foolish women! They were so shortsighted.Julian could see clearly that while Charles and Sean were formidable, they did not act recklessly. The key lay with Noelle. As long as it did not involve Noelle, they could turn a blind eye or even offer small benefits. However, they would never let anyone who hurt her go unpunished if it involved Noelle.Originally, the Shaws had the advantage of having raised Noelle. If they had played that card well, they could have ensured the Shaws thrived under the Hoffmans' and the Smiths' protection. Now, however, everything was ruined.C

Outside the private room on the prestigious Golden Floor of The Majestic Lounge, Andrew stood guard. Inside, a woman sat nervously while clutching an item in her hands.Every so often, she glanced toward the door, but as soon as her eyes landed on Andrew's stern face, she recoiled again.Andrew's gaze fixed on Suzy, and he let out a cold snort upon seeing her cautious demeanor.Charles had just stepped out of the car when Ronald approached him immediately. "Mr. Hoffman!"Charles nodded, holding his suit jacket casually in one hand as he strode forward. "Where is she?""She's in the private room. She said she has something to hand to you personally."Charles' eyes narrowed slightly. "Hmm."Ronald led the way until they reached the elevator. He then stepped aside, allowing Charles to take the lead."Mr. Hoffman!" Having spotted Charles, Andrew quickly opened the door.The moment Charles stepped inside, Suzy sprang up from the couch. "Mr. Hoffman!"Suzy was deeply intimidated by

Charles' long fingers lifted the edge of the folder as he casually skimmed through the records inside.The contents detailed Winter's past activities, including underhanded dealings in the entertainment industry—tactics used to sabotage others, evidence of her schemes against competitors, and a thorough log of places she had frequented in the past year.It documented every detail, down to what Winter had done in those places.Charles closed the thick stack of documents and shifted his gaze to the DVD resting beside them.Ronald quickly inserted the DVD into the player, and the screen flickered to life. The footage contained extensive material about Winter—videos of her visits to Elysian Swallow Garden, scenes from her personal life, and even a heated confrontation at the Shaw residence.The last segment showed Winter arguing fiercely with Samuel before he collapsed. The video captured Winter's panicked reaction, with Julian and Jade also appearing in the frame.Charles narrowed h

The next day, Winter had an audition during the day, and Suzy informed her that evening she had arranged a meeting with some investors.Initially, Winter did not want to attend, but she realized she had likely already offended Charles. With Royal Star likely cutting her off from resources, Winter could not afford to lose any potential support. Hence, she reluctantly agreed to the evening event.However, once Winter changed into her outfit and got into the car, she realized something was wrong when they arrived at Elysian Swallow Garden. "Suzy, didn't you say this was just a simple dinner? Why are we here?"Elysian Swallow Garden was nothing short of a nightmare for Winter.Suzy glanced at Winter with a troubled expression. "I didn't have a choice. The investors tonight include Mr. Lambert and Mr. Wallace. You know how they are—they love places like this. I also heard they have some… unusual entertainment here, so…""I'm not going in!" Winter's face turned pale. "Do you even reme

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
