"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.

Noelle had barely slept for the past few days because of Samuel.She kept telling herself that Samuel was just sleeping and would still be there when she woke up. Every time she awoke to find the room empty, Noelle felt an emptiness in her heart too.A sound came from outside the window. Charles rolled it down and saw Eli standing in the rain with an umbrella. "Ms. Noelle, are you free tomorrow?""Yes, what's up?" Noelle asked, a bit surprised to see Eli. "Thanks for all your hard work, Mr. Thompson!"Eli let out a long sigh. "I hope it's not too much trouble. Tomorrow, a lawyer will come to the Shaw family to read the will that your Grandpa wrote before he passed away."Noelle blinked in surprise. "When did Grandpa write a will? I had no idea.""It was written quite some time ago. It mentions you, Noelle, so you should come to the Shaw family's house tomorrow!" Eli explained as the rain outside seemed to pour down even harder.Through the sheets of rain, Noelle saw Eli and sudd

"That can't be true!" Jade cut off Eli. "She's a Smith, not a Shaw. She doesn't deserve anything from the old man's estate. Get her out of here now!""Wait a moment!"A steady voice broke through the tension. A man with a briefcase and old-fashioned glasses walked in from the entrance. "Hello, everyone. I'm Sir Shaw’s attorney. He asked me to prepare his will, and we're to follow his instructions for the estate after his passing!""My name is Kent Cook.""Mr. Cook, please, take a seat!" Julian quickly moved Jade aside and gestured for Kent to sit. "Mr. Cook, when can we go over my father's will?""Has everyone arrived? Once we're all here, we can get started," Mr. Cook said, scanning the room. "The will mentions five people: Julian and Jade Shaw, their daughter Winter, the old man's chosen granddaughter Noelle, and his godson Joshua.""That can't be right. Noelle and Joshua aren't part of our Shaw family. Why would they be in the will? And with Joshua missing, we can't go on with

"Sean, stop messing around. Let go of me first," Liliana tugged at Sean's arm, realizing how tightly he was holding her. "You're choking me."Only then did Sean loosen his grip slightly, though he still did not let her go. His forehead rested against hers, and he panted softly. "Liliana, do you remember what you said to me in the fire?"Liliana's face turned red, and she awkwardly turned her head away. "N-No, I don't remember. What did I say? I don't think I—mmph..."Before she could finish, Sean kissed her, swallowing the rest of her words with that one stubborn kiss.Liliana raised her hands and smacked Sean on the shoulder, trying to push him away. "Sea—mmph, what are you doing? Let me go..."She shoved him hard, and Sean stumbled back, clutching his chest. Liliana's face went pale, and she rushed over. "Sean, what's wrong? Are you okay? Did I hurt you somewhere?"Nonetheless, Sean took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her again. That feeling of holding her tightly

Noelle raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say that."Then, she added, "That knot in Liliana's heart can only be undone by Sean."What happened back then had always been a shadow between the two of them. Noelle had noticed it these past few days. Though Liliana stubbornly claimed she no longer cared, she clutched her phone every single day, obviously waiting for a call.Liliana's social circle was small. Noelle and the others knew everyone she knew. Who else could she be waiting for but Sean?Charles furrowed his brows. "If Liliana can't have the best, then she's better off with nothing."Noelle could not help but laugh. "Alright, alright. I know you're still holding a grudge against Hayes and Savannah."Honestly, Noelle shared the sentiment. "Savannah really crossed a line with how she handled everything."Charles reached out and gently pinched Noelle's knuckles. "That's not what I meant."Noelle chuckled, exasperated. "I know."Outside, the sound of a car engine drew their attentio

Sean shoved Hayes away. "Dad, if you're just like Mom and trying to stop me from being with Liliana, then don't even bother. If I can't marry Liliana in this lifetime, I won't marry anyone else."With that, Sean lay down decisively. Hayes frowned. "Sean, this isn't about what we want anymore. It's about Liliana and Charles now."Truthfully, Hayes did not have many opinions about Sean and Liliana's relationship. He was always too busy with the company to pay attention to such things. Even the events from four years ago were only now becoming clearer to him."If you insist on marrying her, I won't stop you. But from what I can see, the problem lies with Liliana and Charles."Sean's gaze sharpened as he clenched his fists. "That's impossible. Liliana already forgave me back when the fire happened. She promised that if we both made it out, she'd marry me."Hayes sighed. "Your mother… She misunderstood Liliana and said some harsh things. Just rest for now. Once you're better, we'll go

Sean spat out a mouthful of blood. One hand gripped the bedsheet tightly, his gaze turning darker than ever."What do you mean by that? What do you mean she doesn't want to marry me? She promised me. She said that as long as I was willing to walk out of that fire with her, she'd be with me. You're lying to me, aren't you? Tell me you're lying to me."Sean's bloodshot eyes locked on Savannah's. "Tell me."Savannah was momentarily stunned by the sheer force of Sean's gaze. This was the first time she ever felt fear in front of her own son. "Sean, I…""Where's Liliana?" Sean demanded."Sean," Hayes called out as he pushed open the door and stepped in. "That's no way to speak to your mother.""Then how should I speak to her?" Sean's voice turned icy."Did you know it was Joanna who drugged me nine years ago? And while I was under the influence, I forced myself on Liliana? I misunderstood her, and as a result, she had to hide in the countryside for years."Four years ago, it was me

The operating room door swung open, and Liliana spun around. She saw Saxon step out. Not caring about anyone else’s opinions, she grabbed his hand. "Mr. Holt, how's Sean?"Saxon looked down at their hands, noting how soft and warm hers was. He met her eyes and nodded. "The patient is out of danger now. He should wake up by tomorrow."Hearing that, Liliana let out a sigh of relief and then suddenly fainted."Liliana!"Charles rushed over and wrapped Liliana in a tight hug, but his eyes quickly darted to Hayes and Savannah. "Now that Sean is safe, Sean's fate is no longer Liliana's concern, nor ours," he declared, speaking for the Hoffman family.With those words, Charles carried Liliana away. Saxon was tugged along by Linda. "Saxon, you should check on her. The young lady seemed off to me. She's been hiding her pain. Besides the wound on her shoulder, I think she breathed in a lot of smoke."Saxon's eyes shimmered for a moment. "Yeah, I'm aware."Liliana had been pushing through

"Charles, you…""Stop it!" Hayes was taken aback by Savannah suddenly slapping Liliana. He did not particularly like or dislike Liliana, but she was part of the Hoffman family, and their family commanded much respect. Besides, Noelle was still Charles's wife, and they had to be careful about their actions.Hayes turned to Charles. "I'm sorry, my wife acted without thinking. But what in the world happened today?"Hayes had been told that his son was hurt, but he did not know the details. When he arrived and saw Liliana was there and injured too, Hayes and Savannah could not help but think that Liliana must be connected to Sean's injury.Charles gave a sharp look. "It was Joanna's doing.""Joanna? No, that can't be!" Savannah was shocked to hear the name Joanna, and she quickly objected, "Joanna is such a sweet girl, she couldn't possibly...""Oh, sweet indeed!"Liliana, who had been silent until then, finally spoke. She narrowed her eyes and stood up, ignoring the pain from her w

"Liliana!""Get up quickly!" Liliana used all her strength to pull Sean up from the ground. "Can you walk?""Uh-huh!" Sean had been hit by a falling piece of wood on his leg when he tried to push Liliana out earlier. That was why he could not get out in time and could only hear Liliana's loud calls from outside.He had wished so badly for Liliana to leave quickly, but she had come back for him.Sean bit down hard and pushed himself up.Even if it was hard to walk, he had to try because Liliana wanted him to stand.Liliana slung Sean's arm over her shoulder, noticing his injury. Her eyes were red with tears. "Sean, hang in there. If we both make it out today, I'll forgive you. You can ask me to do anything.""Really?" Sean's eyes sparkled, and he smiled. "Liliana, I don't want you to do anything." In his heart, he added, ‘I just want you to marry me.’"The fire is licking at our heels, and you two are still dawdling," came Charles's icy voice from up ahead. In a flash, he was be

"Sean, where are you? Didn't you just say you love me?" she cried out. "How can you leave me like this, saying you love me and then j-j-just giving up? What am I supposed to do now?"Sean, you took our child from me. How could you think I'd just forgive you? If you don't make this right, I swear I'll never forgive you," Liliana yelled outside, her voice filled with madness. Inside, the plant was engulfed in flames. Shaking from head to toe, Liliana's screams slowly turned into a whisper. She clenched her hands tight, staring blankly at the fire. "If you're gone, what's left for me here?""Liliana!"Charles rushed over and saw Liliana moving toward the flames. He grabbed her and pulled her back. "What are you doing?"Liliana looked up, dazed, and saw Charles. She quickly stood up and grabbed his hand. "Charles, please. I'm begging you. Help me save Sean, please!"Charles's brow creased as he looked at the fiery red inferno, his fingers tensing. "Liliana, the fire's too big. Sean mi

Liliana shoved Sean aside and covered him with her body, taking a knife stab from Joanna. "Ugh..."Pain whitened Liliana's face, and blood dripped onto Sean's face. Reacting quickly, Sean rolled over, picked Liliana up in his arms, and seized Joanna's neck, twisting it hard until it cracked. Joanna's eyes bulged in disbelief as she stared at Sean."You..."She had not thought Sean would actually snap her neck. Her eyes were wide open, one hand clutching a knife, and the other holding a lighter.With her last breath, she tossed the lighter.A loud bang followed, and flames started to spread from that spot.Sean's eyes darkened as he carried Liliana and dashed for the exit. However, how could he outrun the swift spread of the fire while burdened with Liliana's weight?Liliana's eyes widened as she saw the flames creeping up behind them. She pushed Sean, urging him, "Go now, or it'll be too late!"However, Sean's eyes turned a deep red with emotion. "Liliana, I won't let go of you
