Noelle took the phone with suspicion. After just one glance, her eyes widened in surprise. She read through it again, not quite believing it. "When did this happen?"It was no wonder Winter had not caused her any trouble today. She was dealing with her own mess."Just today," Rowena replied, shaking her head. "The entertainment industry is really wild. Scandals blow up in no time. Look, in just a few hours, Winter is plastered all over the front pages and is trending on Facebook and other platforms."Rowena sighed. "I didn't think Winter would get worse than we imagined.""Who leaked this?" Noelle asked, still shocked at the turn of events."I don't know. A lot of people on YouTube are talking about it. They say Winter offended a lot of people over roles and even sabotaged others. The entertainment world is so murky. Maybe it's one of those stars she wronged getting revenge," Rowena speculated, not really caring who was behind it as long as Winter got what was coming to her.Noel

With those online revelations, Winter found herself under a barrage of attacks from fans and keyboard warriors. Some expressed deep disappointment in her while others were furious because their own idols had been secretly sabotaged by her.Several producers and directors associated with Winter remained collectively silent. Reporters tried to reach them but were met with various excuses, pushing Winter further into the eye of the storm.The entertainment industry had always been a place where the ones at the top were praised and the ones at the bottom were trampled upon. In response to the scandal, Winter's management company launched an emergency public relations campaign, insisting that she had been framed and that the allegations were untrue.However, just a day after the PR statement was released, a small magazine leaked some risqué photos of Winter. In the photos, she appeared to be only 17 or 18. It was when she had just entered the entertainment industry.This release rendere

Winter threw herself into Jade's arms, feeling aggrieved. "I worked so hard to become a big star admired by everyone. I don't want my career to end here. Mom, please help me!"She clung to Jade's sleeve. "Mom, haven't you always been the best to me? You must have a way to help, right?"Jade frowned. What could she do? She had no power or influence. She only relied on the Shaw family. Yet now that this scandal had broken out, the other members of the Shaw family would definitely have their objections, making it difficult to resolve.Seeing Jade's hesitant expression, Winter felt even more disappointed. "Mom, do you not love me anymore? Are you just going to stand by and watch me be ruined like this?""Of course not! How could I not love you?" Jade hugged Winter, gently patting her shoulder. "You're my only daughter. Who else would I care for if not you? There's a way to solve this, but...""But what?" Winter urgently grasped Jade's hand while biting her lip. "Mom, you have a way,

Winter immediately perked up, but thinking about Charles' previous attitude toward her, she wilted again. "But that Charles guy is really annoying. He...""Do you want to make this right or not?" Jade said sternly. "If you still want to stay in the entertainment industry, you can't be so arrogant. Besides, if the Shaw family can get close to Charles, your father wouldn't need to rely on the York family."Jade thought about the last time when Noelle, that wretched woman, disappeared again for some reason. Although Simon did not say anything about pursuing it, the York family clearly stated they would not cooperate with the Shaw family anymore.With the York family saying that, who in Brookville would dare to take the initiative to work with the Shaw family?Recently, Julian was busy to the point of being overwhelmed, and Jade was extremely angry, blaming everything on Noelle. If it were not for Winter's sudden trouble, Jade would definitely have gone to find trouble with Noelle.Wi

Winter had a good treatment session and then called Xavier. Lately, Xavier had been overwhelmed with work, and Winter's recent scandal had negatively impacted the Harris family. Even though their family was small, the internal personnel were complicated. Xavier's father, Joseph, had managed to climb up with great difficulty. However, Winter's scandal had caused both him and his father to face criticism from the Hoffman family as well. Xavier felt embarrassed and could not easily counter the comparisons between himself and Charles, the head of the Hoffman family.Despite his exhaustion, Xavier followed his father's instructions to visit Winter. However, Winter had refused to see him. With his pride, Xavier decided to let it be.He had not expected Winter to call him today. Staring at the phone for a while, he finally answered. "Hello.""Xavier, are you busy?" Winter's voice sounded slightly cheerful. Xavier raised his eyebrows, feeling surprised. "Yes, I am busy. What's up?"Win

Winter nervously tugged at the corner of her mouth. "People can change, can't they? Don't you like the food I made?""I like it," Xavier replied, lowering his head to continue eating.Xavier knew exactly what kind of person Winter was. She was the type who never lifted a finger in the kitchen. The food tasted just like it was from a restaurant.He had eaten Noelle's cooking before. Although the food was simple, it had a homely taste, unlike these delicately prepared dishes. The moment Winter opened the lunch box, Xavier knew the truth. However, since Winter wanted to deceive him, he saw no need to expose her.Hearing Xavier's response, Winter let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "I'm glad you like it! You should eat more. You work so hard.""Okay." Xavier nodded. "Why did you have time to come over today? Feeling better?"Winter bit her lip, wringing her hands together. "Xavier, you love me, right?"Xavier's hand paused. His eyes darkened, but he still nodded. "Yes. What's with

Joseph made the final decision for them. "Are you feeling better now, Winter?""Yes, thank you, Mr. Harris!" Hearing Joseph's assurance, Winter felt completely at ease. "Mr. Harris, I'll head back now and not disturb your and Xavier's work."Winter carried her bag and walked out cheerfully. Xavier's expression, however, was dark. "Dad, what are you thinking? You want me to beg Charles? You know what he's like, he...""Do you have a better solution?" Joseph looked at Xavier with disappointment. "I'm doing this for you. If you had Charles' abilities, would I be letting you marry an idiot? Don't forget, she holds 15% of the Shaw family shares. Once you marry her, those will be yours."Xavier growled, "Dad, I don't need them!""How can you say that?" Joseph's voice turned cold. "This is settled. You'll go to Charles. We're also associated with the Hoffman family, so he won't ignore us."…In the CEO's office on the 27th floor of the Collosus Group building, Charles paused his writin

Xavier immediately tried to establish a familial connection with Charles, attempting to close the distance between them. Even if Charles was displeased, he would not outright reject someone with such a familial tie in front of him.Charles knew exactly what Xavier was aiming for. However, Xavier was a proud person. If he was not in need, he would not have called him 'Uncle' so willingly.Charles raised an eyebrow and gestured for Xavier to sit. "What would you like to drink?""Black coffee," Xavier replied, having already learned about Charles' preferences. He knew that Charles had a fondness for simple beverages, especially coffee. Charles raised an eyebrow in response. "Ms. Coleman, two cups of coffee, please."While it was true that Charles liked coffee, he was not particularly fond of drinking it early in the morning. Clearly, Xavier had not done his homework thoroughly enough.Charles tidied up his desk and then stood up, walking over to a nearby seat next to Xavier.He cr

Bran's innocent comment had everyone laughing. "Oh, Bran, they just haven't opened their eyes yet. When they grow up, they'll be as cute as you!""Really?" Bran asked, tilting their head, "Okay then!"Liliana had been quiet the whole time, just watching the babies in the incubator.She had not really wanted to come, since the Hoffmans and the Smiths were not exactly her biggest fans. However, she wanted to see those babies, to see the little ones who belonged to Charles and Noelle.Today, both families were filled with joy, and nobody paid much attention to Liliana. Even if they were not fond of her, they would not send her away on such a happy day.Liliana gazed at the two little babies in the warm nursery, and her eyes quickly filled with tears. She placed her hands gently on the glass, a small smile spreading across her face as she whispered to herself, "They are so beautiful."Clarisse watched Liliana and felt a mix of emotions stirring within her.She did not feel very clos

Yves gave a gentle smile and stroked Seth's hair. "Are you having a good time?""Yes!" Seth bobbed his head enthusiastically. "Bran and Bobby are really nice!" Seth had clearly made friends, and Yves' smile grew wider. However, then he turned to Kelly. "Would you like to visit the hospital?"Kelly's eyes lifted. "Is that okay?" She had been worried about Noelle's safety, but she knew that her presence might not help and might even be a hindrance. Besides, the kids needed someone to watch over them, so she had been trying to stay calm.When Yves made the offer, Kelly wanted to go. "How's Noelle doing?""Charles just called. The mom and babies are all doing great!" Yves told Kelly with a big smile, looking really happy. "It's a boy and a girl, but they came a bit early. They're still in their cozy incubators for now.""And how's Noelle?" Kelly asked quickly."She's fine too, just getting some rest," Yves replied, softly touching Kelly's forehead. Kelly blinked in surprise, looking

"Winter mailed the package. I thought Mrs. Hoffman would open it, but she didn't!" The maid's face showed a flicker of disappointment. "Winter promised the item would surely frighten Mrs. Hoffman, so...""So, you tried to scare her?" Yves thought that Winter must really hate Noelle, especially since she was pregnant.Yves squinted and asked, "What happened next?""When Winter heard that it didn't work, she met with me and handed me a lamp. She said it was from Mr. Baker and told me to light it while Mrs. Hoffman was fast asleep. She said that it would go unnoticed!"After she spoke, the maid fell to the ground, too much in pain to stand. The guard service member, seeing that, stabbed her thigh with a knife, "Ahh..."The maid screamed again, but the guard service member quickly covered her mouth.The pain had nearly knocked her out, but then she was wide awake again, "I've told you everything I know, I don't know anything else, I really don't.""How do you two keep in touch?"

"Mr. Yves Hoffman, I swear it wasn't me!"The woman was so terrified of Yves that she trembled all over. She could not bring herself to look at him, and his powerful presence left her feeling lost. She hung her head low. "Mr. Yves Hoffman, it wasn't me. I swear it wasn't me! I'm just a lowly servant, I don't know anything about this!"However, the more she denied it, the sharper Yves's gaze became, pinning her down so she did not dare look up.She felt a sharp sense of fear, but it was not as bad as the kind that Charles could make her feel."So it wasn't you?" Yves said with a smirk. "Maybe you don't realize what I'm capable of." He gestured to one of his guard service members."Yes, Mr. Yves Hoffman!"Since Charles had left Yves in charge, all of the guard service members guards in the Phoenix Tree Residence heeded his command.One guard stepped forward, and as he reached the woman, she started to shake like a leaf. "Yves, who do you think you are to do this to me... ah..."S

After the baby was born, Margaret carefully placed the twins in their warmers. Then, dragging her tired feet, she stepped out to find Charles.Charles stood up when he heard her, "How did it go?""The babies are safe, a boy and a girl. Congratulations, Mr. Hoffman," Margaret said, a smile of relief spreading across her face. "However, they were born early, so they need to stay warm for now. Is that okay?""I want to know about my wife. How is she?" Charles cut in, his concern for Noelle evident in his voice."Um... there's a gentleman still in there operating on Mrs. Hoffman," Margaret really wanted to ask who that man was, but after seeing the look on Charles's face, she did not dare to ask.After Margaret left, Charles glued his eyes to the operating room door.An hour later, Saxon emerged from the operating room. He was sweating, but otherwise, he looked fine. Charles got up and hurried over, "How's my wife?""The poison's out, but she breathed it in for quite a while, so she

"What's that smell in the room?"Charles and Yves both caught a whiff of something unusual, a scent so light that Charles could not place it. His eyes darted to an aromatherapy lamp on the nightstand, narrowing slightly. "What's that?""The SN virus!" Saxon's gaze locked onto the lamp. "They were smart to use it in the lamp, lighting it when people are most vulnerable.""However, doesn't the SN spread through cuts?" Linda mentioned that just the other day."That's only at first. She didn't finish her research, so she wouldn't know. I can't believe they got their hands on it. Who did you cross?" Saxon moved to check Noelle's pulse, his forehead creasing. "We need to get to the hospital, now.""Okay!"Charles hurriedly took Noelle and Saxon to Sean's hospital. With Sean and Linda away, Saxon was their only hope.Saxon was a bit of an oddball, helping people only when he felt like it.Charles stole a glance at Saxon, who was resting with his eyes closed, and let out a relieved bre

"Mommy!" Seth saw Kelly and ran to her, hugging her legs. "Mommy, you were gone so long! Daddy and I were waiting for you!"Kelly was surprised and glanced at Yves. Their eyes met, and she felt a little embarrassed.Yves looked away, nodding at Charles.Charles had been about to go downstairs when he suddenly felt something strange. He turned and hurried back up."Come out!"He did not see anyone, buthe had felt a presence he had not noticed before.Charles had always been on his toes, so when he felt something was off, he quickly made his way to the second-floor hallway. To his surprise, it was deserted.Squinting his eyes, Charles pulled a military knife from his side and tiptoed toward the bedroom. As soon as he nudged the door open, a shadow darted at him, and they tumbled into a scuffle.Whoever this person had been, they had slipped past the Phoenix Tree Residence's tight security without a sound—a clear sign they were no amateur. Charles did not know who he was up agains

Charles quirked an eyebrow. "What do you want to talk about?""We can't afford to keep Janet around, she's trouble. You might ignore her because of the Bakers, but she won't stop stirring up problems. Now that Noelle's pregnant, we can't risk it!" Kelly's eyes were locked on Charles, searching for a hint in his expression.However, Charles simply observed her, his hand on his chin, his eyes filled with curiosity.Sensing his intense gaze, Kelly grew uneasy. She always felt this way in Charles' presence, as if she harbored a secret."Well, if there's nothing else, I'll head out."Charles lifted an eyebrow. "What's going on with you and Yves?"At his question, Kelly tensed up. "I...""I'm thinking of inviting him to join the Collosus Group, so I'm counting on you to help with this!" Charles finished. Kelly turned around, surprised, and looked at him in disbelief. "I don't get what you mean!" Even though they had cleared up the current issue, Kelly did not think Charles would welco

"Not getting it? Then think harder!" Charles ended the call, a cigarette hanging unlit from his fingers. He had not smoked in ages, especially since he began dating Noelle. However, today, the old craving hit him, and he found himself reaching for a smoke.A knock on the door pulled Charles from his thoughts. He looked up, surprised to see Kelly. Squinting, he asked, "What brings you here?"Kelly gave a small nod, "Got a minute to chat?"Charles nodded and gestured for her to take a seat. Kelly stepped inside. "I came with Yves. He's downstairs playing with Seth and Bran!" Kelly said, playing with her hair nervously. When Charles nodded, she took a deep breath. "I didn't really have anything important to talk about today. I just heard from Yves that something happened. Was it about Noelle?"Since Kelly was Noelle's sister, it made sense for her to be worried.Charles nodded again. "Sort of.""Do you know who did it?""You know them too!" Charles said, tossing his cigarette awa
