"No! Don't!"

The moment Noelle mentioned calling the police, Jade immediately objected.

"Noelle, the Shaws raised you for so many years, and this is how you repay us? You're so heartless and ungrateful. You're really going to call the police? Isn't it enough that you've taken over City Ring Corp.? Now, you want to send Winter to prison too?"

"Shouldn't she go to prison? She killed Grandpa! She's a murderer! How does she not deserve it?" Noelle retorted, her voice sharp with anger.

She could not believe that Jade was still protecting Winter, even to the point of helping cover up her crimes.

Seeing that Noelle was serious about calling the police, Jade desperately grabbed Julian's hand. "Jule, look at what Noelle is doing! Say something! For the sake of your father, for all these years we've taken care of her, tell her to let Winter go!"

Julian, however, was too consumed by the images from the earlier video. He could not fathom how the people he trusted most had done such things. W

    "Alright, then!" Noelle finally relented. She knew she could not continue rejecting Grant's offer and nodded in agreement.Seeing this, Grant signaled Kresten, who promptly came forward with documents from his briefcase. "I'll leave the rest to Mr. Cook."Since Kent was present and so were all the shareholders, Grant used this moment to finalize the transfer of shares, ensuring Noelle's future position in City Ring Corp. was unshakable. It also served to prevent any future disputes over ownership.Kent understood the importance of this, so he immediately got to work.Kent's efficiency was remarkable, and he quickly prepared the transfer agreement. Grant officially transferred his shares to Noelle in front of everyone, leaving no room for doubt about her ownership.Once the matter was settled, Noelle glanced at Ronald, who promptly gathered the documents. "That's done. I believe today's meeting can now be considered concluded!""Yes, yes, a successful conclusion. But when will the

    "Mrs. Hoffman, well said!" Ronald could not help but applaud Noelle.Noelle merely curved her lips slightly. "Mr. Wells, please hand over all these pieces of evidence to the police. And remember to tell them that my grandfather's death wasn't an accident!""You wretched woman, Noelle! I'll fight you to the death!" Jade screamed."You're a curse! You won't stop until you destroy the Shaws completely, will you? You and your shameless mother are the same—both of you are nothing but disgraceful women!"Jade lunged at Noelle in an attempt to grab her, but Andrew stepped in and kicked her away. "Damn it! What's wrong with you, woman? How dare you lay a hand on Mrs. Hoffman!"Andrew was not like Ronald—he was a straightforward and rough man who was loyal to his boss. To him, Noelle, as Charles' wife, was his boss as well.Jade had repeatedly ignored their warnings and even dared to try and harm Noelle. Andrew was not going to tolerate it anymore.Jade was sent flying with the force of

    Noelle's lips twitched slightly. "He's impressive!"She meant it. She did not think Sean would place surveillance cameras everywhere. Did Sean not realize how costly it was to install cameras even in places that were not necessary, like hospital wards?Was it not an issue to install cameras inside patient rooms? Surely, that infringed on privacy, did it not?Still, Noelle kept these thoughts to herself. After all, without Sean's video, she would not have had concrete evidence to defend herself.Besides, it was thanks to these recordings that she realized Winter and Jade were far more terrifying than she had ever imagined.Noelle sighed softly. Standing beside her, Grant noticed the subtle change in her mood. "The dead can't be brought back, Noelle."Turning to look at Grant, Noelle murmured, "I can't shake the feeling that I bear some responsibility for Grandpa's death."Although it was not directly her doing, Winter's jealousy toward her led to Samuel being dragged into this me

    Ronald suddenly realized he had been staring at Noelle and quickly averted his gaze. "N-Nothing!" he stammered.He would not dare admit that he had been pondering the nature of Noelle and Grant's relationship. If Noelle found out, she might think he would report it to Charles—and truth be told, he had briefly considered it.Noelle gave Ronald a faint smile before redirecting her gaze. "Let's head back.""Mrs. Hoffman, do you want to return to the office or go home?""Home."After everything that had happened today, Noelle was not in the mood to go back to the office."In that case, I'll have Andrew take you home. I need to head over to the police station to deal with the follow-up matters."Noelle nodded, understanding that Ronald would handle the aftermath. "Andrew, take me home, please."...Inside City Ring Corp., after Noelle and Grant left, Julian's anger boiled over as he looked at Jade's despairing face.Between the issue of the company's shares and Samuel's death, J

    "Fine, Julian, very well! You'll regret treating me like this today!" Jade screamed.Having been thrown out of the Shaw residence and left homeless, Jade had no choice but to seek out Winter. Winter, however, had been in hiding due to the recent events.No one knew her whereabouts, not even the police who were actively searching for her. At that moment, Winter was holed up in an abandoned warehouse in the southern part of the city.Across from her sat a man dressed in a black suit, which gave him an air of darkness, like a specter of the night. His face was hidden behind an intricately crafted silver mask.Winter could not see his face but could make out his sharp eyes and chiseled jawline, enough to imagine that he must be strikingly handsome.She had been in that warehouse for several days, with nowhere else to go. Someone delivered food to her daily, and while she was restless, she knew she could not leave yet. Normally, the visitors were minor lackeys, but today, a more signif

    Jethro tossed an object to Winter, who stared at him in confusion. "What's this?""Take it. Find the right moment to meet Noelle. The instructions on how to use it are included. Remember, there's only one of these—don't lose it."After saying this, Jethro handed Winter a small communication device. "And don't use this casually, understand?"He grabbed Winter's chin, forcing her to look up at him. "Did you get that?"Winter was momentarily stunned, her wide eyes fixed on Jethro. His piercing gaze seemed to hold secrets, making it impossible for her to look away.She swallowed hard while nodding. "I understand."Jethro smiled in satisfaction and nodded. "Good. Right now, it's not safe for you to go out. And don't go looking for Xavier again, got it?"Though Jethro's tone was calm, his words carried an implicit warning. Winter's pupils contracted slightly, and her hands clenched into fists. "I understand."He knew she had gone out before and even knew she had met Xavier.Jethro a

    Even though Charles held the shares of City Ring Corp., it was Noelle who really had to run the show.Today, Ronald came from City Ring Corp. with some numbers for Noelle. "Mrs. Hoffman," he said, "Mr. Hoffman thinks that City Ring Corp. has taken a big hit. It's not going to be easy to get out of this mess quickly. We've got to deal with the projects from last year right away. Collosus Group will just have to put up some cash to cover the holes for everything else."Ronald explained while keeping an eye on Noelle. She was so engrossed with the reports that she did not even notice Ronald standing there. He waited quietly until she looked up.Noelle flipped through a few pages, her forehead wrinkling a bit. She glanced up at Ronald. "Mr. Wells, this... Mr. Wells, please sit down!"You can sit, you know!" she added, realizing he had been on his feet the whole time."That's okay, Mrs. Hoffman. I'm fine with standing!" Ronald said with a light smile. "Is something wrong?""No, nothin

    "Okay!" Noelle shut her folder. "You've been working so hard lately, Mr. Wells. You should be with Charles now!" Ronald had been so busy with tasks at both City Ring Corp. and Collosus Group recently."Mrs. Hoffman, you must be kidding. I work for Mr. Hoffman, so it's my job to do these things. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way!"Ronald quickly gathered his things and got up to leave.Noelle rubbed her forehead, feeling tired. Clarisse, who was coming down the stairs, noticed and said, "Feeling worn out? You're pregnant now, so you shouldn't worry about the company. Let Charles handle it."Over time, Clarisse and Noelle had grown to get along much better.Clarisse had come to see that Noelle, her daughter-in-law, was not as troublesome as she had thought. In fact, Noelle had been a big help with rekindling the emotional bond between her and her son, Charles.When Noelle saw Clarisse coming down, she stood up to straighten some scattered papers on the desk. Clarisse quick

    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!"

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.
