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

How could she not recognize him?However, why was Grant claiming to be Joshua? He had said before that he was not Joshua, so what was going on? Why had he suddenly shown up there? What was he after?If Grant really was Joshua, why would he want to be Samuel's godson in the Shaw family when he came from the wealthy Anderson family?Noelle's head was buzzing with questions. She had so many things she wanted to ask, but she knew this was not the right time or place. She just nodded and said with a bright smile, "Uncle Joshua, it's been ages! I've missed you so much!"Grant gave a sly grin. "I was starting to think you'd forgotten me, Noelle!" He gave her a look that seemed to say more than his words, then turned to Julian and Jade with a nod. "Hey, Julian, Jade!"Julian's face turned sour the moment he saw Grant, and Jade did not look too happy either.Julian had thought he was finally free of his biggest rival when Joshua left. He had had a few years to relax, but Joshua was back n

"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.

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

When it was Noelle's turn, she spoke her vows in a voice that trembled ever so slightly, but her words were strong. "Charles, you are my home," she said. "From the moment we met, I knew I'd found someone who would be my partner for the rest of my life. I promise to love you, to support you, and to share my life with you in all its highs and lows."It was beautiful, simple, and perfect. Charles could feel his heart swelling again, but then it was full of certainty. That was it. That was the moment he had been waiting for.The officiant smiled and nodded, glancing at Charles. "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Charles, you may kiss your bride."The church erupted in applause as Charles leaned in to kiss Noelle, his heart beating faster than ever. The kiss was soft but full of meaning, a promise of everything to come. When they pulled away, he could not help but laugh with happiness, and Noelle joined in, her face flushed with joy.They turned to face

She appeared at the doorway, standing tall in her flowing white gown, the lace sparkling in the light. Her veil covered most of her face, but her eyes, the ones he had fallen in love with all those years ago, gleamed at him from beneath it. For a brief moment, it felt like time had stopped. She looked like an angel, and as she started her slow walk down the aisle, Charles could not help but feel his heart swell with love and pride.At her side, Kelly smiled at her, holding Noelle's bouquet carefully. Kelly, always the organized one, was keeping it together despite the emotion of the moment. However, just as they reached the halfway point, Kelly's heel caught on the edge of a pew, and she stumbled slightly. There was a collective gasp, followed by a nervous giggle from the crowd. Kelly straightened herself quickly, her face turning a little pink, but she winked at Noelle and whispered, "Just making sure everyone is paying attention." Noelle stifled a laugh, her cheeks flushing wi

Outside the church, Noelle and her bridesmaids stood together, while inside, Charles eagerly awaited her, clutching a bouquet of roses.Tania stood with Rowena and Teresa, their laughter and chatter creating a joyful buzz. Meanwhile, Noelle's heart was racing, but she stayed cool as a cucumber, took a deep breath, and braced herself for the biggest moment of her life."Hey, have you guys heard that funny wedding joke that's going around?" Tania piped up suddenly. Everyone turned to look at her, eager to hear the joke. "So, there was this bride who asked her bridesmaid, 'Can I go without shoes today?' The bridesmaid was surprised and asked, 'Why would you go without shoes?' The bride giggled and said, 'Because I don't want my own steps to be too loud!'" Tania chuckled, and everyone laughed along.The church doors swung open, and Noelle's dad held her hand, guiding her slowly down the long aisle toward Charles, who stood waiti

On the wedding day, Noelle's heart raced with excitement. She slipped into her beautiful wedding dress and stood looking at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a white gown and could hardly believe that moment was real. She looked so beautiful and full of hope that she almost forgot how nervous and thrilled she felt."You look so beautiful, Noelle! Like a princess," Linda said from behind her. Noelle turned and saw her bridesmaids smiling at her. She smiled back, feeling thankful and a little nervous."Thanks, everyone. I can't believe how perfect today is," Noelle said, her voice full of emotion. She looked at the ring in her hand, feeling so happy and excited.She walked over to the bed, picked up her phone, and called Charles. When he answered, she heard his deep voice say, "Honey, I can't wait to see you." Noelle felt a warm glow inside and smiled. "I feel the same, Charles. I love you."After she ended the call, she stood in front of the mirror once more, gazing at her wedd

Kelly and Noelle were sisters and looked almost the same, both incredibly beautiful. Liliana was like a finely carved statue of beauty, and then there were Linda and Eloise. One was sweet and charming, while the other was cool and aloof, like a regal ice queen.Tania blinked her eyes, "Aren't they lovely? I chose the bridesmaids' dresses." She let out a sigh, "I had hoped to be a bridesmaid too, such a shame!"Their happy chatter filled the house, and Noelle felt like the luckiest girl in the world. She turned to Kelly, her best bridesmaid, her eyes shining with thanks. "Kelly, I'm so grateful you're always here for me," Noelle said softly. Kelly grinned and gave her a gentle shoulder pat, "You don't have to thank me, Noelle. You're my sister and seeing you so happy with the right guy is all I could wish for."Linda, touched by their words, had teary eyes like she was the bride too. She dashed from the kitchen, lifted a cup, and laughed, "I feel like I've turned into your wedding pl

"Yeah." Charles chuckled, planting a kiss on the corner of Noelle's eye. "All of this is yours, feel free to touch all you want!"Noelle's cheeks flushed bright red, and she tried to pull her hands back, but Charles gently held onto them. "What's wrong? I don't let anyone else touch me!""You're such a tease!" Noelle's face turned even redder, "Ever since we got married, you've just gotten cheekier and cheekier.""Yeah, I'm all yours," Charles said as he cradled Noelle's face in his hands, their eyes locked in a gaze.Just like that, time stood still.
