Jace was telling the truth, but Milo still looked at him suspiciously. "Really?""What else? But Father, someone just made a good point. Isn't Janet supposedly cured? Why did she suddenly have another episode?"Milo's expression remained grim. "How would I know? Let's wait for the doctor."The doctor arrived quickly but could not determine what had caused Janet's sudden outburst. "Based on her condition, as long as she isn't provoked, she shouldn't relapse. Did anyone agitate her?""No. She just lost control around 6:00 am," Jace replied, eyeing the doctor. "Are you sure there's nothing wrong?""Nothing at all." The doctor, who had years of experience, genuinely could not find any abnormalities. "What about the medication I prescribed?""Here." Milo handed over the bottle that had been placed on the nightstand. The doctor examined it briefly. "The medicine is fine. The real question is—has she been taking it regularly?""Of course. She takes it every day," Milo said firmly, frow

Charles could not help but laugh. "Alright. We'll decide together after the doctor checks on you. How about that?""No!" Noelle tightened her grip on his hand. "Charlie, I had a dream… I feel like I've been asleep for so long. Don't go!""Alright, I won't go!" Charles' voice sounded choked with emotion as he held Noelle's hand tightly. "I won't leave, not ever!"He immediately picked up his phone and called Sean. "Come over right now! Nelly is awake!"Within a minute, the news of Noelle waking up had already spread to everyone. Sean arrived quickly, bringing Margaret along.After a thorough check-up, Sean finally said, "She's fine now. Just make sure she gets plenty of rest and proper care."Both he and Margaret let out a breath of relief.Linda soon arrived with Saxon. After examining Noelle, Saxon handed Charles a small bottle of medicine. "Once she finishes this, the toxins in her body should be completely eliminated.""Thank you." Charles took the medicine, opened it, and g

The shocking news spread like wildfire. Milo, the head of the Baker Group, had an illicit relationship with his adopted daughter, Janet, four years ago.Not only had they engaged in a secret affair, but they had also given birth to a child, only to cruelly abandon it.The scandal did not stop there. People quickly dug up an old case from years ago when Janet accused Charles of assaulting her.With the two incidents placed side by side, the public began speculating that the real perpetrator back then was not Charles, but Milo.Though this was only a theory, sometimes speculation carried more weight than the truth. The explosive news did not just shake Capiton, even Brookville was in an uproar.…Noelle had been brought back to Phoenix Tree Residence to recover. Under everyone's careful care, she was already in good health. Her daily routine now mostly consisted of eating, drinking, and occasionally exercising.Since her pregnancy had caused her weight to skyrocket, she was now ac

"Diamond?" Noelle's eyes sparkled. "Kelly, how about we call the boy Ice and the girl Glitter? What do you think?"She held her son's tiny hand. "Ice. That's your name now. You're Mommy's little diamond!"Just as she finished speaking, the baby girl in Liliana's arms suddenly let out a loud cry. Her voice was strong and clear, making Noelle turn toward her in concern. "What's wrong?"Liliana chuckled. "She's probably jealous!"Noelle was momentarily stunned before she found herself laughing too. "She's already learning to be jealous at this age?"Even as she spoke, she reached out to take her daughter from Liliana's arms. "Glitter, Mommy's little darling. Are you upset because I called your brother first?"As soon as Noelle held her, Glitter immediately stopped crying. She blinked up at her mother, her bright eyes twinkling like tiny gems.Noelle's heart melted. "Babies grow so fast. They change every day!"She had not even been out of the hospital for long, yet the twins alrea

Noelle let out a startled yelp and instinctively wrapped her arms around Charles' neck. "What are you doing? You nearly scared me to death!"Charles only chuckled, his lips curling into a faint smile. He held her waist and gave it a gentle squeeze. "How could I ever bear to do that?"Noelle huffed, "Smooth talker!"Though she pretended to be annoyed, a blush still crept onto her cheeks. "I was asking you something serious. Was it really you?""Yeah."Charles did not deny it. "What about it?"Noelle shook her head. "I just didn't expect you to go after the Bakers so suddenly."She had thought that because Clarisse was part of the Bakers, Charles might show some restraint toward Milo. But clearly, he had not.Charles remained silent for a moment before speaking. "You might be willing to let them go, but they refuse to let themselves go. That's not my fault."His tone was cold, devoid of any emotion. The moment Noelle heard it, she knew that either Milo or Janet must have pushed

"The boy is named Ice, like a diamond. The girl is Glitter, which shines brightly. Do you like it?" Noelle's eyes sparkled as they fixed intently on Charles.A soft light appeared in Charles' deep gaze. It slowly turned more intense as he looked at Noelle. He reached out, tilted her chin, and leaned in closer, his eyes locking on her flushed, rosy cheeks. "Mhm… I like them."Just like Noelle herself, always so glittery and radiant, as dazzling as a diamond."I think they sound great too!" Noelle beamed, reaching up to touch Charles' face. "Then what do you think their full names should be?""I've already thought of them.""Really?" Noelle was surprised. "That fast?""Yes."Before she could react, Charles lifted her into his arms. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck, her legs clinging to his waist. "Charlie, am I too heavy?""Not at all. You're light."Though she had gained some weight since giving birth, Charles thought it was perfect. She was softer now, mor

"I'm not crying!" Noelle sniffled, then lifted her chin defiantly at Charles, trying to prove her point. "See? I'm not crying.""Alright, you're not crying," Charles sighed. "So, we're going with these names?""What about Grandpa, Mom, and Dad?" Noelle did not mind, but she worried that the Hoffman family might have something to say about it.Charles, however, was unconcerned. "They're our kids, not theirs.""Pfft, if you say that, you'll break their hearts!" Everyone in the Hoffman family had been eagerly waiting for these two babies."It's fine. I already asked Grandpa, and he has no objections." Of course, Charles had not really asked—he had simply informed Maxwell. However, Maxwell had not made a fuss. To him, it did not matter what surname the children took. In the end, they were still Hoffmans.…In Capiton, the scandal involving Milo and Janet had sent shockwaves through the city. The child had been taken back to the Baker residence, and a DNA test confirmed that he was

Clarisse knew that even though Charles had forgiven her for what she had done in the past, it did not mean he would forgive Milo or the Bakers—let alone spare them.However, the Bakers were still her family. She could not just stand by and watch them be completely destroyed. "Charlie, I…"From the moment she arrived, her hesitation was obvious. Charles immediately knew she had something to say. Handing the babies over to the nanny, he instructed, "Take the twins to rest."Once the children were gone, Charles turned to Clarisse with an ice-cold expression. "I already know what you want to say. But I advise you not to say it because if you do, I won't even show you mercy.""Charlie!" Clarisse's face paled as she clenched her fists. "Does it have to be this way? He's still your uncle.""Is that so?" Charles narrowed his eyes. "It seems you don't know the full story yet.""What are you talking about?" Clarisse looked at him in confusion."Do you think Nelly gave birth early because

"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
