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.

    "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

    Something grabbed Noelle's feet in the dark, and she fell sitting to the ground. Her phone flew out of her hand.Noelle could not see a thing, and she knocked into the sink when she fell. The pain from her waist almost made her cry. She groped around the floor with both her hands and tried to stand, but there was a piercing pain in her foot. Noelle sat falling heavily to the floor."Help! Is anyone out there?"Noelle finally managed to get up to crawl out after much effort. However, she was crestfallen when she realized the bathroom door was locked. She could not open it no matter how hard she tried. Fear overcame her.Her breathing became erratic. Noelle was riddled with fear in such dark conditions. It reminded her of being accidentally locked inside a wardrobe when she was in the Shaw residence. She had screamed for help all of her might, but no one came to save her. She thought she was dying, and if Eli had not searched everywhere for her, she might have suffocated inside the w

    Charles pressed his lips together, a dark look crossing his face as he glanced at Peter. "Mind your words, Peter!"Peter raised an eyebrow and gave Charles's shoulder a reassuring pat. "Relax. Nobody's brave enough to make trouble here," he said, then looked over at Sean, who had not said a word. "Why are you just standing there?"Sean, who usually was smiling, looked serious. "Looks like someone's pushing Charles too far!" he said, hinting at something. However, Charles just gave Sean a quick look. "You're staying right here.""Hey!" Sean complained. "Why should I?""Because you're a doctor. It's your job to save lives," Charles said, then he grabbed his coat and left.Sean tried to follow, but Peter blocked him. Peter smiled slyly, his hand resting on Sean's shoulder. "He's off to find his lady. This isn't your rodeo.""You don't get it. Charles is usually so calm, but he gets all worked up around this lady. You might not have seen her, but I have a few times. She's really pret

    "It's me! The door's stuck. Can you open it?" Noelle whispered, scared to make a sound that might scare the snake. However, the snake was quick and bit Noelle's leg as soon as she spoke."Ouch!" Noelle screamed, falling to the floor."Noelle? Noelle! What happened?" Yevgen yanked at the door handle. "Noelle, talk to me!""A snake! There's a snake in here!" Noelle's voice was weak, her head spinning.Hearing that, Yevgen did not hesitate. "Noelle, move back. I'll kick the door down!" With a few strong kicks, he broke the door open. "Noelle, are you hurt?"Yevgen saw Noelle on the floor, pale, with a snake close by, flicking its tongue.He quickly grabbed the snake, slammed it against the sink, and threw it aside. Then, he rushed to pick Noelle up from the bathroom floor."Noelle, are you okay?""I..." Noelle's head felt like it was spinning. Yevgen noticed a cut on her calf. "That snake is venomous. Noelle, stay strong! I'll get the venom out!""No, please don't!" Noelle shook

    Rowena stood like a fierce guardian in front of Noelle, not letting anyone take her friend away. Lareal raised an eyebrow, his gaze landing on Rowena. He quickly recognized her. He adjusted his glasses and offered a charming smile. "She's your friend, isn't she? She looks hurt. We really should get her to a hospital, or I can't promise she'll be okay." "You..." Rowena looked at Noelle, worry etched on her face, and bit her lip. "Fine, but I'm coming too. We don't even know you guys!"Lareal quirked an eyebrow. "Sure, that can be arranged." He looked at Rowena and Teresa. "You two can follow this young lady to the doctor, okay?"With that, he gave a secret signal to the men in black. They quickly and expertly lifted Noelle and carried her away. Rowena and Teresa shared a quick glance, scooped up Noelle's dropped bag, and hurried after them.Yevgen did not want to be left out and tried to follow, but Lareal's big, tough guys blocked his way. Yevgen was frustrated and upset. "Move as

    "Oh, you're Mrs. Sabian!" Lareal smiled, but then said firmly, "I'm sorry, but even if Mr. Sabian was here himself, he wouldn't be able to leave either!"Yessica's heart sank as she realized how serious things were. She looked around for Noelle but could not find her. "Sir, we only came to have fun at the party. We don't even know what went wrong. Making a big deal out of this isn't good for anyone, and there are so many of us here.""Take her away!" Lareal interrupted Yessica, his smile gone. "Mrs. Sabian, you might not know The Majestic Lounge's rules. Anyone who makes trouble here won’t see tomorrow’s sun."Lareal's piercing gaze swept over everyone as she spoke with chilling calm, "And it's not just you. No one is leaving The Majestic Lounge until I say so!""Ahh! How could this happen?""Yeah, how can they do this?""It's all Noelle's fault for going to the bathroom when she didn't need to. She must have ticked someone off!""Talk about bad luck, ending up in a situation li

    The medicine was clear and tasteless, and it would disappear after a while. Linda wanted Janet to fall into a deep sleep fast. In no time, she noticed Janet's eyebrows twitch, and then she was out like a light."You're so mean, poking so many holes in people. Well, let's see how you like it," Linda said.She hopped onto the bed, grabbed some silver instruments from her bag, and with quick, sure moves, she stuck them into Janet's body. Janet, fast asleep, did not feel a thing.Linda had always been fascinated by special treatments, even though her family did not want to teach her. She had learned it all on her own, sometimes even practicing with Saxon. Saxon himself said Linda was better at it than he was. In fact, Linda's talent was way better than Saxon's.However, Linda was not done. She felt like she had not had enough fun. She took out another bottle from her bag and popped a pill into Janet's mouth. "This pill? I made it from a virus I got from those dead rats of yours. It mig

    "Don't worry, these small fries are no match for me," Linda boasted with confidence. "Even if I can't beat them physically, one poke with my instrument and they'll be begging for mercy!"Sean smirked when he heard that. "Alright, I've already scoped the place out. The first floor is where the servants bunk, so let's not stir them up. The second floor is Milo's and the Baker family head's pad. Janet and Jace are on the third floor — remember, Janet is our mark, so don't mess up the rooms."Sean pointed at the floor plan he had managed to get his hands on.Linda shot Sean an impatient look. "Okay. I'm not a kid, you know!"After stashing their gear, Sean gestured to the side. "You take the southeast approach, and I'll start from this end."With that, they set off on their mission.The guards might have had some fight in them, but to Sean and Linda, they were a walk in the park to deal with, especially in the dead of night when guards were sleepy and dropped their guard.

    Liliana bit her lip, "Brother, I...""Don't rush to give me an answer. Think about it. It's late, so you should head back."Liliana nodded, "Okay, I'll go then." She got up, hesitated for a moment, and added, "Brother, your wife is going to be okay!"Charles gave a small smile, "I know." He had always known.Once Liliana was gone, Charles sat down next to Noelle, watching her sleep peacefully. He gently touched her skin.While she had been sick, he might have looked composed and calm, but nobody knew the pain he felt better than he did. He knew he could not let himself worry, especially not in front of Noelle.Yesterday, when he walked into the bedroom and saw Noelle sleeping so deeply, he fought hard to keep his feelings in check. He did not want to lose his composure.Today, all of the poison was finally out of her system, and he felt like he had gotten back something very special that he had lost. He gently stroked Noelle's face and said, "I've waited so long for you. No more

    Those people were so irritating. Could they not see Noelle was still out cold? There they were, acting all lovey-dovey right in front of him? Charles was really upset.Peter and Yves caught each other's eye and had to stifle a laugh. Charles had been all about showing off his own romance before, but then he could not handle a bit of theirs?"Are you guys going or what?"Peter smirked and replied, "Sure thing!"Once everyone had left, the big hospital room was quiet with just Charles and Liliana left. Liliana paused, looking from Charles to Noelle.She had thought about leaving with Peter and the rest, but she stayed because she had something on her mind. Charles could tell. He gently fixed Noelle's blanket before turning to Liliana, "You wanted to talk?"Liliana nodded, "Yeah.""Let's hear it."Charles had a pretty good guess already. It was all about old family drama. He had not wanted Liliana to go back to the Hoffmans, and it was not just to be mean. With her awkward place i

    "Yes." Tania agreed with a nod. "Ms. Holt told me mine is the first-generation poison."Saxon gave a small laugh. "You're lucky that little Linda didn't wear you out completely." However, even as he said that, he checked them over with care. "You're all okay. Linda used silver instruments to get the poison out, and what else did she give you?""Um... Ms. Holt said it was sugar, and it was really sweet," Tania recalled that Linda had indeed given them lots of candy.Saxon smiled again. "Well, keep on eating!" Actually, the candies Linda had were not the ones she made, but the special ones Saxon had switched with hers. Those candies were like treasures, and he never thought she would give them all away to help. It looked like these folks meant a lot to her.Saxon pulled out some more candies from his pocket and handed them to Tania and Kelly. "This is all I've got right now. We'll figure it out once you've finished these."He seemed pretty relaxed about it, but the one who had poiso

    "Okay, as soon as Noelle gets out of the hospital and Ves comes back to the Hoffman family, we're going to throw a huge party. It's been ages since we've had such a good time, and with Yves and Liliana both here, it'll be perfect!" Maxwell announced, his eyes sparkling with excitement as he looked at Yves.Maxwell had thought his brother's family line had ended, but to his surprise, there was still Yves. He was beside himself with joy. "Ves, please come back home to the Hoffman family, and to the Collosus Group too!"Yves scrunched his face and was about to respond, but Kelly cut in quickly, "He'll definitely come back!"Yves paused, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes, but he quickly smoothed out his expression, hiding the flurry of emotions inside.The two families could not just stand around forever. After spending a little more time admiring the two adorable babies, they visited Noelle's hospital room. Since Noelle was still asleep, they all decided that it was time to head

    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?"
