"You might treat her as your sister, but that doesn't mean she would treat you the same way. That's enough, Winter. I know you're worried about her, but you should stay out of this. I have to teach Noelle a lesson no matter what. If I don't do anything, she'll just continue being arrogant. You might end up getting bullied further."Winter's eyes narrowed. She sneered in her heart but put on an anxious look on her face as she looked at Suzy.Suzy shook her head. "You should stay out of this, Winter. This is between Annie and Noelle. You know that very well."Winter lowered her head in despair. However, she smiled coldly when Annie and Suzy were not looking. Her hands were clenched tightly at both sides.Noelle was no match for Winter at all. How dare she try taking Xavier away from Winter? Tomorrow would be the day Noelle found out the consequences of trying to take Winter's man away from her.Meanwhile, Noelle was not planning on attending the classmate reunion. However, Rowena an

"I heard that it starts at seven, but I think we shouldn't arrive so early. By the way, I was told that Winter would be there as well." Rowena did not sound too happy about it. "I thought that little bitch would never dare show her face. She must be up to no good if she's attending the reunion as well."Noelle could not help laughing when she heard Rowena's tone. "It's going to be fine. We're all classmates, after all." Despite her reassurance, Noelle knew that someone like Winter would never let Noelle get out of the reunion unscathed.This reminded Noelle of her university days when they ended up in the same class as Noelle had great results while Winter did badly.Noelle remembered how Winter would always try to outdo her. Whenever Noelle did better than Winter, Noelle would end up being yelled at by Jade. Jade would always berate Noelle for embarrassing Winter.She remembered the tone her mother had used on her when she was being berated. Noelle was young then and could not und

"Isn't it clear who the real campus belle is? Why would we need to vote?"Someone said this out loud and everyone proceeded to agree. "That's right. Just look at Winter. She's a famous celebrity right now. I heard that it's difficult to meet her!""Yeah. A distant cousin of mine asked me to get her autograph when she found out we were classmates," someone said. "Do you think she'll show up tonight?""Tsk, tsk!" Rowena nudged Noelle's shoulder and could not help but sigh. "Winter Shaw sure is popular!" She continued, "Look at that. Most of these people used to run after you back then, but they're all salivating for Winter now."Noelle smiled and glanced at Rowena. "Are you feeling gleeful over my misfortune?""Hey, Winter is here!"Everyone turned their attention to the door. Winter walked in with Annie and Suzy and all of them turned their focus on Winter. "Hey, isn't that our big celebrity? I thought you wouldn't be here!""I won't miss this for the world! How could I not be he

Rowena could not take it anymore and glared at Winter. She was about to say something when Noelle took the wedding invitation over from Winter. She opened it and glanced at the contents. "The third of next month is a great date!" Noelle closed the invitation. "We're sisters, after all. Of course, I'll be at your wedding."There was no sign of a hurt expression on Noelle's face. She took things in her stride and this surprised Winter slightly.Winter had thought that Noelle would at least look slightly forlorn. Did she underestimate Noelle or was Noelle just forcing herself to be calm?She stared at Noelle, trying to find any hint of unhappy feelings from Noelle. However, Winter ended up being disappointed.Noelle had been reacting normally so far since accepting the invitation."I'm happy that you're able to come. We're sisters, after all. And you and Xavier used to be…" Winter bit her lip a little sadly at this point. "You and Xavier used to be good friends. You must be happy t

Noelle smiled. "To be honest, I've never heard of Charles Hoffman having a nephew.""You…" Winter's face fell. She glared at Noelle but quickly wiped away the stiff expression on her face when she saw everyone else's reaction. "You've never met Charles Hoffman before, Noelle. And you don't know about the Hoffman and Harris families at all. Their relationship is quite complicated." "Really?" Noelle did not comment on anything nor attempt to continue the conversation.Rowena smiled at the side. When she saw the way Winter was acting, she whispered into Noelle's ear, "Looks like she doesn't know that you and Charles Hoffman are married. If she finds out you're married to him, will she regret trying force a connection to him?" Noelle gave Rowena a glance. "What do you think?"Rowena shrugged. "Come to think of it, did Winter really sign a contract with Royal Star? Doesn't Royal Star belong to your husband?" This was the main information Rowena had gotten from the conversation. Sh

"Forget about it!" Teresa decided to calm down when she saw Noelle, who was the one implicated, being indifferent about this. There was no reason for Teresa to get mad if Noelle was not mad. Teresa thought about it and decided that this would not change the truth. She decided to let it be. "Looks like I'm not as level-headed as you are!"Noelle smiled. She was not really level-headed, but she had spent a lot of time with Charles and had seen him always maintain his cool no matter how serious the situation was. All this time she had spent with him had also influenced her to do the same."Let's stop talking about her." Rowena passed a glass of fruit wine each to Noelle and Teresa. "I heard that anyone who visits The Majestic Lounge is either rich or of nobility. Mindy's husband must be someone important if he's able to get us this floor."Rowena bumped Noelle on the shoulder. "Does your husband know anyone from The Majestic Lounge?"Noelle shook her head. "I didn't ask him about this

"It wouldn't have been nice to ask this of you when you were surrounded by so many people just now.""Sure. It's just an autographed picture. I'll have to comply when it's the request of our class representative." Winter took out a piece of paper from her bag and looked at Mindy a little apologetically. "I don't have any pictures of me right now. You'll have to make do with just my autograph. I'll make sure to give an autographed picture the next time!"Winter signed her autograph and looked at Mindy. "Mindy, I need to see Annie and Suzy about something…" "Sure, go ahead!"Winter narrowed her eyes and left with her chest puffed up.Mindy glanced at the autograph Winter gave her without much care and stuffed it into a back. There was an unknown look in her eye.Annie quickly grabbed Winter's hand when Winter came over. "What did Mindy want with you?""What else could it be? She just wanted my autograph," Winter replied nonchalantly. She quickly looked around and her gaze fell on

"Noelle!" Yevgen called out to her. "Do you mind giving me your number? We're old friends, after all. It'd be nice to keep in contact."Her eyes narrowed. "I'm sorry. Can this wait until I'm back?"Noelle was feeling extremely dizzy, and she left quickly before Yevgen could reply. He watched as she walked farther away, but his eyes refused to leave her."I wonder what's this called. A dead end?"Yevgen's eyes narrowed as he turned to look into Annie's taunting eyes. It only upset him. "This is none of your business!"Annie sneered, "Yes, this is none of my business. Do you think I'm still the same Annie from before?"Yevgen frowned. He did not want to stay there with Annie and he walked past her to leave. Annie stared at his back while laughing and saying, "Don't you want to know what happened to Noelle the last few years?"Annie looked gleeful as she smiled mysteriously.…Noelle finally found the bathroom after turning several corners. She went into a stall to relieve hersel

Seth nodded, tilting his head as he looked at Kelly. "Mommy, you cried."Though young, Seth was incredibly perceptive. Noticing Kelly's red eyes, his small, soft hand reached out to gently rub her cheek.He even leaned closer and blew softly on her face. "Don't cry, Mommy!""I didn't cry, not at all," Kelly said while patting Seth's back gently.There was an apologetic look on her face. "I just forgot to make dinner for you tonight.""Then, Mommy, let's eat out! Seth has money—lots and lots of money. Seth will treat Mommy to some meat!"Seth's sweet, innocent words made Kelly's eyes redden again, but she smiled and nodded. "Alright, Seth. Change your clothes. I'll take you out for dinner, okay?"Later that evening, Kelly sat holding Seth while watching TV, but her mind could not stop drifting back to Noelle's face.Grant's words replayed in her head: she and Noelle were full-blooded sisters, sharing both parents.Kelly looked down at Seth, her thoughts in turmoil. She could

"Are you sure it's a virus?" Kelly asked, her voice trembling slightly."Yes," Grant replied with a firm nod, his sharp eyes fixed on her.He could see the disbelief and shock in Kelly's gaze, along with traces of guilt and unease.However, Kelly suddenly laughed, and she turned her head to face Grant. "Noelle has a virus, so she should go see a doctor. Why are you coming to me? Ha! It's ridiculous that Charles still wants to get me involved when his wife is sick. Why?""Kelly, this virus is extremely rare," Grant explained, his tone steady. "Sean currently doesn't have a clear treatment, but he mentioned one potential solution."Kelly's eyes flickered slightly, betraying a crack in her facade. "If there's a solution, then try it.""Sean believes we need to extract active enzymes from the blood of her closest relatives. Harrison and Shirley should already be at the hospital."Kelly froze again, her lips pressing into a thin line."Oh," she replied, feigning calm, though her emo

Grant noticed Kelly's reluctance to look at the documents and frowned slightly before speaking in an indifferent tone. "You don't have to look at it if you don't want to. After all, it's your decision whether to accept it or not."He placed the file on the table, his tone calm and detached, as though this matter had nothing to do with him.However, Kelly was far from calm. She glared at him, her voice trembling with suppressed anger. "If that's the case, why did you bring it here? Why did you agree? Why…"Her voice grew louder as she yelled at Grant, her emotions spiraling out of control. The noise startled Seth, who was sleeping in the other room.Hearing Seth's cries, Kelly immediately pushed past Grant and rushed into the room to scoop him into her arms. "Seth, don't cry. Mommy's here!""Mommy!" Seth clung tightly to her, his little hands grasping at her clothes."Yes, Mommy's here," Kelly murmured, cradling him as she gently patted his back. She hummed a soothing tune into hi

Kelly's feelings toward Grant were complicated. Growing up, her impression of him was not strong, and they certainly could not be described as having a close sibling bond.Later, Grant left the Andersons, disappearing to places unknown. When he finally returned, Kelly did not stay in Capiton for long before coming to Brookville.After that came the incident that changed everything, ultimately sending her abroad."Aren't you going to invite me in?" Grant glanced inside.Kelly frowned slightly. Although she seemed reluctant, she did not refuse and stepped aside to make way. "Come in. But I don't have much here, so I'm afraid I might not be the best host.""No problem."Grant noticed how much colder Kelly's demeanor had become. As he stepped into the modest apartment, he casually observed its simple layout.It was hard to reconcile this Kelly, living in such a sparse place, with the pampered young woman who once never lifted a finger.Feeling somewhat uneasy, Kelly closed the door

Kelly had been spending the past few days with Seth, whose health had improved significantly. After the recent incident, Kelly stayed in Brookville for a while, using the time to reflect deeply. One of the reasons she had not left Brookville was because of Seth's biological father.It had been almost four years. Not too long, yet not short either.Kelly thought she had let it go, but the DNA report comparing Seth with Maxwell made her hesitate once again.She always knew Seth was not Charles' child. She was fully aware of who the father was, yet his true identity remained a mystery.During those months four years ago, that man had stayed by her side, sharing a deeply unforgettable time with her. It was so unforgettable that she had pushed aside questions about his identity or purpose, choosing instead to immerse herself in the moment with him.Yet she was nothing more than a pawn for him to use against the Hoffmans in the end.Strangely, Charles had been absent from Brookville du

Grant's expression turned ice-cold in an instant. "What are you planning to do?""Kelly is Noelle's biological sister. Sean said only enzymes extracted from close relatives' blood might save Noelle. Whether it works or not, I have to try," Charles replied. His gaze was intense in a way Grant had never seen before.Grant had not expected to ever witness such an expression on Charles' face. He frowned deeply but eventually nodded. "I'll try, but she still doesn't know she's part of the Smith family.""You didn't tell her?" Charles was visibly surprised. He had assumed Grant would have already told Kelly the truth.Now, hearing that Kelly had no idea about her connection to Noelle or the Smith family, Charles was taken aback."I'll bring her over as soon as I can. Give me some time.""Fine, but don't take too long. Nelly can't wait," Charles said firmly. He understood that revealing the truth to Kelly and convincing her to help Noelle would not be easy. However, since Grant had ag

Sean emerged with a somber expression. "Margaret has confirmed that there's a fresh needle mark on Noelle's arm. That shadow from earlier must have injected something into her, which likely triggered her immediate symptoms."Charles clenched his fists, the sound of his knuckles cracking filling the tense air. "What's the plan?""Before the virus spreads too deeply, we could try using blood from Noelle's close relatives to extract certain components that might counteract it," Sean explained.Charles narrowed his eyes. "Be clearer. What are you suggesting?""This idea isn't fully tested. I only came across it in medical literature, and there's no guarantee it will work. If the virus hasn't invaded her bone marrow, we might still have a chance."Charles' expression eased slightly, but a hint of apprehension lingered. He glanced at Sean, who hesitated before continuing. "We need to call in Uncle Harrison and Shirley. Ideally, we should also bring Kelly here.""Fine!"Harrison arrive

"Make sure to cooperate well with Dr. Ellison, alright?"Charles leaned down, planting a soft kiss on Noelle's forehead before stepping out with Sean. "What's going on?"Outside, Peter, Tania, and Brandon were waiting. Brandon kept peeking into the room, and his curious eyes were wide with concern. "Uncle Charles, what's wrong with Aunt Noelle?"Charles' expression softened immediately. He reached out to tousle Brandon's hair gently. "Aunt Noelle is fine. She's just feeling a little sick.""Oh, then Bran will give Aunt Noelle some candy. If Auntie eats candy, she won't hurt anymore," Brandon said with childlike earnestness, pulling a few candies from his small bag and handing them to Charles."Uncle Charles, give these to Aunt Noelle!""Alright."Charles accepted the candies, his gaze drifting back to the room. He watched through the window as Noelle cooperated with Margaret's examination. His chest felt unbearably tight with worry."Have you figured out what to do yet?""Wh

"Mm, you didn't cry," Noelle said with a faint smile.Her face was still pale, but it was clear she had passed the peak of her pain.She placed her hands gently on Charles' face, slowly pulling herself up. After finding a comfortable position, she leaned into him, her head nuzzling against his chest like a mother soothing her child.Her delicate fingers traced the contours of his face. "You didn't cry."Charles could not help but tremble slightly. Lowering his gaze, he found Noelle looking up at him. She cupped his face with both hands, her body leaning closer, and her forehead was lightly pressing against his.She rubbed against him gently. "You were just worried about me," she said softly. Then, she placed a gentle kiss at the corner of his mouth."Our Charlie is the best, the strongest. How could he cry? Crying is my job."Noelle's smile was so tender and warm that it seemed to melt the storm brewing in Charles' heart.He carefully wrapped her in his arms, brushing his face
