Chapter 1453

Author: Chweety
Surprise flashed in Charles's eyes, but he could not help laughing. He playfully pinched Noelle's nose and said with a hint of surrender, "You're something else, you know that?"

"So, is that a yes?"

"Yes!" Charles agreed, though he felt helpless. He could not bear to disappoint Noelle. "But you have to let me handle it, okay?"

"Awesome! As long as you save City Ring Corp., I'm behind you all the way!"

"Even if it means letting City Ring Corp change ownership?"

Noelle looked at Charles with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean?"

Charles lifted an eyebrow. "What if City Ring Corp. got a new owner?" He reached out and gently brushed Noelle's lips with his finger. "What would you do then?"

Noelle looked down. "You want to buy City Ring Corp.?"

"Well, it's not impossible. If things keep going like this, City Ring Corp. is going to be just an empty shell. If I buy it before that happens, it can be reborn under Collosus Group. But there's the issue with Grandpa..." Charles pul

    Charles grinned. "Go on!""Suzy blamed Winter for everything, so it was pretty clear that Suzy was the one behind it all. Suzy knew Winter better than anyone else, right?" Charles nodded in agreement. "I’m not responsible for the stuff that's been coming out lately." "You’re not?" Noelle was taken aback. "But you've got all this stuff. If it's not you... Could it be Suzy?" Noelle's brow furrowed in confusion. "What's Suzy really up to?"...Suzy showed up at the front door of a beachside villa, looking shiny and fancy. She rang the bell. The door swung open quickly. Winter peered around, making sure no one was following, before letting Suzy in. "What's the word on the street?" Winter asked, eyeing Suzy's flashy get-up and frowning. "Suzy, what have you been up to lately?" Suzy just laughed in response. She breezed past Winter, turned on the TV, and said, "If you're so curious, why not watch for yourself?” "No, don't turn it on!" Winter dashed over, grabbed the remote fro

    "No. It can't be true! It just can't!" Winter stumbled backward, feeling like the Suzy standing before her was a stranger, someone scary and unknown. "Suzy, you're kidding, right? You're still my best friend. You didn't do this to me. It was all Noelle's fault, wasn't it? She made you do it, right?"Winter reached out to grab Suzy's hand, shaking her arm hard. "Tell me you didn't do this, Suzy. It was all Noelle's fault, wasn't it? It was Noelle!""Winter, you're just too naive!" Suzy yanked her arm away, and watching Winter collapse to the ground, looking so lost, she felt a rush of satisfaction. "Noelle didn't make me do anything. I wanted to. You’re no better than Noelle. You two sisters can keep fighting, but why drag me into it? Why drag Annie into it?""No, Suzy, I never did. You've always been my best friend. You have to believe me. I was so sad about what happened to you, I...""You're joking, right? Are you sad? You've only ever used me and Annie like we were just tools fo

    "I’ll kill you, Suzy!”Winter's eyes filled with tears as she ran toward Suzy, but Suzy pushed her down to the ground. Looking down at Winter with no warmth in her eyes, she said, "You brought this on yourself, Winter. You have only yourself to blame."Suzy walked away with those words, leaving Winter sitting on the ground and staring blankly at the door. Even though it was summer, Winter felt a chill that made her tremble.Suzy approached a car and tapped on the window. "I've done what you asked me to do."The window rolled down to show a man wearing a silver mask. His eyes were unemotional as he looked at Suzy. "Having second thoughts?"Suzy held her fists tight but shook her head with determination. "No second thoughts. I just want you to promise that my parents will be taken care of and be safe and sound for the rest of their lives."The man smiled slightly, his long fingers lifting Suzy's chin. His eyes seemed to laugh, but there was no warmth in them. "You're tough, Suzy. Y

    The man kept his gaze locked on Winter's eyes. "Because we share the same enemy!"...Suzy was dead. Her body was found at Winter's beach villa, and it was a terrible sight. She had been strangled, her face twisted in horror and swollen from the seawater. By the time she was pulled from the water, her body was puffed up and unrecognizable. She had a stab wound in her heart that seemed to have been inflicted after she died.Since the body was found near Winter's villa, Winter became the main suspect. However, when the police got there, Winter had already disappeared.The Shaw family's home was swarmed by police early in the morning. Julian and Jade were taken away for questioning, and just like that, the Shaw family was in total disarray. City Ring Corp. was in the news for running out of money, and the shareholders were just then realizing that Julian might have left the company empty.Everything happened so fast that it took everyone by surprise.In the old Hoffman family house,

    "You think I'm behind this?" "No!" Noelle shook her head. "I know it wasn't you, or you wouldn't have offered to help City Ring Corp. at least. I can't figure out who would do this. City Ring Corp. isn't a major company. It shouldn't have enemies, so why would someone target them?" "Maybe you should think about why City Ring Corp. ran into trouble just when I was about to step in," Charles said, softly patting Noelle's hand.Noelle's eyes widened in shock at Charles's words. "What do you mean?"A sinking feeling washed over Noelle. "Do you think someone's out to get you? But why mess with the Shaw family?"She could not make heads or tails of it. The idea that someone would go through the Shaw family just to get to Charles was mind-boggling. However, Charles seemed sure of it. Someone must be after him if they were bothering the Shaw family."Did you forget? Grandpa gave me all his shares in City Ring Corp. Only he knew about it. What if someone's making a big fuss over it?""

    Charles's brow creased as he gently took Noelle's hand. "Noelle, please calm down and listen to me!""Charlie, I don't want to hear it!""Noelle, Grandpa is gone. We have to accept that, okay?" Charles's hands rested on Noelle's shoulders. "Noelle, I'm still here for you.""Charlie, Grandpa was just fine a couple of days ago. He was okay. W-why did he have to go?" Noelle's voice trembled with disbelief. She could not accept that Samuel, the kind old man who had been there for her all her life and had cared for her through her toughest times, was gone. She had promised to introduce her babies to Samuel one day."Noelle, we can't bring people back once they're gone. You need to understand that not everyone can stay with us forever, okay? Grandpa may have left, but his love remains with us, Noelle!""Charlie!" Noelle wrapped her arms around Charles's waist, her voice filled with sorrow. "W-why did this happen?"Eventually, Noelle went to the hospital with Charles, but it was too lat

    Jade yanked Noelle's hand and shoved her towards the door. "If you don't leave, I'm calling the cops. Are you going or not?""Noelle," Charles said, catching her hand and giving a gentle shake of his head.Noelle wanted to go back inside, but Charles stopped her. "Noelle, she's right. You're not part of the Shaw family anymore. You don't belong there.""But Grandpa..." Noelle started as the doctor finished, waiting for the family to sign the papers so they could take Samuel away. She could not bring herself to believe that Samuel was really gone.She stood at the door, watching, until Julian and Jade carried Samuel's body away. That was when she could not hold back her tears any longer.Charles was right beside her, watching her cry and feeling helpless.After a while, Noelle cried herself to sleep. Charles gently picked her up and carried her to Sean's office.Sean quickly opened the door to a small resting room for Noelle to lie down.Charles laid Noelle on the bed, tucked he

    "Someone's messed with the cameras. They've got to be an expert to wreck the surveillance so fast and without a trace. They came ready. Sean, we need those cameras up and running ASAP!" Charles's eyebrows were knotted tight, a sign he was really worried."Of course, but you should watch your back too. My brother mentioned that things are shaky in Cascade City and Capiton. The stock market might take a big hit soon."Charles's eyes gave a quick flash. "Hmm.""You haven't actually made enemies, have you?"Charles looked up sharply, his icy gaze landing on Sean. "If I've made enemies, you're probably in the mix too!"Sean lifted an eyebrow, trying to seem tough. "Don't try to spook me. I'm not scared that easily."Charles did not say more, but Sean could tell things were probably more twisted than they thought. "Fine, I'll get someone on camera.""Make it fast. You've got two days." Charles fiddled with his cufflinks, then stopped as if a thought had struck him and stared at Sean.

    "Yeah. Bobby is Yankel's son, so he has to go back to the Canfield family eventually," Liliana said. As she looked up, her eyes caught a glimpse of the person in the driver's seat ahead, and she gasped. "It's you—""Liliana?" Noelle heard a voice crackling through the phone, then nothing but silence."Liliana?"Noelle jumped to her feet and tried calling Liliana back, but no one answered. She dashed downstairs, only to be stopped by Charles. "What's the matter? You look so worried.""It's Liliana. Something's happened to her," Noelle explained, clutching her phone. "I was just talking to her. It sounded like she met someone or something happened. All I heard was Liliana saying, ‘It's you,' some choppy bits of conversation, and then nothing. When I called back, nobody picked up."Noelle was not just being paranoid. She had been through enough to have a keen sense for these things.Charles's brow furrowed as he tried calling Liliana but got no response."Where was Liliana when she

    Yankel was taken aback by Liliana's words. He looked at her, his face full of wonder and questions. Liliana did not know what to say, so she just coughed a little and asked, "You don't think I'm being unreasonable, do you, Mr. Canfield?"Yankel shook his head. He had never thought that. He knew Liliana loved Bobby a lot and thought it would be hard for her to give him up. That was why he was so surprised when she offered to let Bobby go back to him. "I didn't mean it like that," he said."Actually..." Liliana paused, then shared the story of how she first met Samara and how they ended up depending on each other. "You could tell that even after Samara had to leave, she still loved you a lot. She even risked her life to have your baby. I know she loved you because she asked me to take care of Bobby when she was very sick. She even worried that Bobby might be too much for me and told me to find you, so you could raise him."Liliana let out a sigh. "I guess I've been selfish. I treated

    Casey sat in the front seat, watching Liliana and Bobby together. Surprise flickered in his eyes, but it was mostly happiness. "Ms. Liliana, it looks like the little guy is really fond of you."Liliana did not say yes or no, but Bobby chimed in, "I love Mommy the most! I love Mommy the most!"Casey could not help but smile. "Yep, the little guy loves you the most, Ms. Liliana." He glanced at Liliana, trying to read her face. "Ms. Liliana, have you ever thought that since you and the little guy are so close, maybe you and...""Casey, I don't see Mr. Canfield that way," Liliana said calmly.Casey blushed a little, realizing he had stepped out of line. "Sorry, I spoke out of turn." He stayed quiet for the rest of the drive.When they reached the Canfield house, Liliana stepped out with Bobby in her arms, and Casey led the way. "Ms. Liliana, it's just Mr. Canfield at home today." He meant to tell her not to worry. Even if the Canfield family did not like Bobby, they would not do anyth

    Liliana did not have any special feelings for Yankel. It was all about Bobby. She could tell Yankel really cared for Bobby. "He's Bobby's real dad. I can't keep them apart."Noelle chuckled. "Okay, okay, I was just teasing. Look at you, getting all worked up over nothing!"Noelle leaned in closer, her gaze making Liliana a little uncomfortable. "Noelle, what are you...""Liliana, what are you going to do now?" Noelle asked, her eyes full of concern. "I know Sean is my brother, but I really don't mind, especially after everything that happened..." She trailed off. She was not sure of all the details, but she knew Liliana had loved Sean with all her heart. Sean, however, had been as unfeeling as a log and had even hurt Liliana deeply.After leaving with a heart full of hurt, it was no surprise that Liliana could not forgive Sean, let alone get back together with him. Noelle felt the same. She would not get back with Sean if she were in Liliana's shoes.Noelle knew she should suppo

    Charles dropped Liliana off at Phoenix Tree Residence and headed straight back to the office. On the way, he called Sean, "I've made sure she's safe and sound."Sean massaged his forehead and replied, "Hmm."Charles could not resist a little joke. "Haven't figured it out yet?""Liliana just can’t forget what happened years ago." Sean wore a sad smile. "It's my fault too. If only I had gotten there sooner back then, or if I had understood my own feelings earlier, none of this would have happened." He thought his child might have been older than Peter's by now.However, Sean kept those words to himself. He knew that child was a secret he could not talk about, a pain too deep for words to convey.The two were quiet for a moment until Charles broke the silence. "Liliana's giving all the love she had for that child to Bobby now. You've noticed, haven't you?""Yeah." How could he not? That was why Sean felt so bad about it and why he wanted to do right by Bobby to make up for the baby

    Yankel and Xenia got divorced. On the day Yankel left the hospital, Liliana watched as Xenia desperately clung to Yankel's hand, but Yankel would not even give her a second look.Xenia was also holding onto Lawrence's hand, begging Yankel over and over to look at Lawrence, but Yankel just would not. Finally, Xenia started hitting Lawrence's face like crazy. Yankel finally stopped walking.Yankel grabbed Xenia's hand, his face showing no emotion. "Are you out of your mind? Lawrence is just a kid." He was just a little younger than Bobby.Xenia burst into laughter at that, but then she broke down crying. "So what if he's a kid? He still can't make you stay? Yankel, you know how I've treated you all these years, don't you?"Yankel, where's your heart?"Yankel stared indifferently at Xenia, then took Lawrence away and handed him to an assistant. "Take Lawrence to Elvis.""Yankel, you'll get what's coming to you! Yankel, Lawrence is your son, not Elvis's! You..."Yankel ordered some

    Liliana's cheeks turned pink as she nodded, even though she was not really cold. "Uh-huh!"Sean finished tending to the wound, put the medicine box away, and looked over to see Liliana sitting up straight like an elementary school student. A warm feeling washed over him."Do you want to stay here with Bobby, or should I take you home?""No way. I'll stay with Bobby!" After everything that happened tonight, Liliana was too worried to leave Bobby alone in the hospital room. Who knew what could happen during the night?Sean's expression darkened a bit. "Don't worry. Nothing like this will happen again." After all, Bobby was in his hospital, and he was responsible for the boy's safety.Liliana shook her head. "No. It's not your fault."Xenia was out to hurt someone, and she would take any chance she got, no matter where Bobby was. You could never be too careful, and who would have guessed Xenia would go after a child?Liliana had no idea what might have happened if Liliana had not n

    Liliana gave Sean a stern look. "It's time for Bobby to go to bed.""But Mom, I'm not tired yet!" Bobby said, tilting his head and blinking his big, adorable eyes, which almost made Liliana melt."It's bedtime, no matter what. It's really late," Liliana insisted. She tucked Bobby into bed. After he fell asleep, she turned around to find Sean still there. She frowned. "Why are you still here?"Sean's smile faded as he walked over with big steps and grabbed Liliana's wrist. Ignoring her wishes, he started to lead her outside.Liliana was upset by Sean's actions and tried to pull away, but Sean held on tight. He even warned her, "If you want to wake everyone up, go ahead and yell."Feeling trapped, Liliana glared at Sean and whispered angrily, "What do you want?"Sean did not answer. He just kept walking and pulling her along.Liliana had no choice but to follow. At least Sean was considerate enough to slow down for her shorter steps.Sean took Liliana to his office, opened the do

    Liliana blushed and rolled her eyes at Bobby.Sean chuckled. "That's because I'm a grown-up.""I'm a grown-up too!" Bobby declared, standing tall and puffing out his chest with pride. "Right, Mr. Smith?""Sure, you’re a big boy now," Sean agreed, playfully tapping Bobby's nose.Liliana's brow furrowed with concern. "Mr. Smith, it's getting late. Bobby needs to go to bed."She reached to take Bobby from Sean, but Sean was quicker and gently held her hand. His eyes briefly showed some worry as he noticed the scratches on her hand. "I should have done more than just kick her."Liliana's cheeks warmed as she pulled her hand away, a bit flustered. "I'm okay, and you did kick her, remember? She even coughed up a lot of blood!"Liliana thought the kick must have been super strong. Although she was not the one who was kicked, the pain looked so bad that she winced.Sean saw her reaction and let out a small laugh. "Don't worry. I never hit women, and I definitely would never hit you."
