Sebastian's head shot up when he heard that, and he looked upset. "Noelle is acting out, and you're just going along with it? When do you plan to stop putting off the wedding? Don't tell me it's all Noelle's choice. Could Noelle still act this way if you didn't agree?"Sebastian was still feeling upset from seeing Xavier and Winter earlier. Winter, his granddaughter, had always had everything she could ever want, including plenty of love. She did not need anything from him, but Noelle was different. She had always been treated differently, and that made Sebastian feel even more unhappy with the Shaw family and his own daughter, Jade.Charles was not upset by Sebastian's words. He just nodded. "You're right, Grandpa. I haven't handled things well. But Noelle is worried that if people find out about our marriage, they'll start causing trouble for me," Charles explained calmly. "You know I don't care about that stuff, or else I wouldn't have chosen to marry Noelle. But I think she needs

"I thought you just weren't taking things seriously with me, but now I see you don't care about anything at all. You promised to marry Winter, yet here you are telling me you want to back out? Xavier, you're not acting like a man who stands by his word!"Noelle's eyes were icy as she spoke. "I'm done talking to you. Today is supposed to be you and Winter's big day. You should be at the wedding, not here blocking my way! Step aside!"Xavier would not budge, and Noelle was at her wit's end. Right then, her phone rang. She stepped back, dug through her purse, and saw it was Charles calling. She hesitated but answered, "Hello!""Where are you?""In the bathroom!" Noelle replied. "What's up?""I'm with Grandpa and Granddad. They want to see you," Charles said. "Is someone with you?"Noelle, realizing how perceptive Charles was, glanced at Xavier, who was still standing there. She felt a wave of annoyance. "Yeah, my brother-in-law."Charles's mood seemed to turn icy instantly. "Stay t

Charles squinted, but he kept looking at Noelle as if he did not even notice Xavier standing there. Xavier felt awkward but did not know what to say.Noelle felt the tension in the air. "Mr. Hoffman, what brings you here?"Charles gave her a small smile. "I was just talking to Sir Shaw, and he mentioned you." He did not exactly answer her question, but Noelle got the hint. "You're friends with my Grandpa? He just called me to come over.""Really? Shall we go together?" Charles asked. Noelle nodded eagerly. "Yes, let's go!"As Noelle was about to leave, Xavier could not hide his disappointment. "Noelle!" he called out. "You said you'd talk to me!"Noelle's brow furrowed. She could not believe that even with Charles there, Xavier still would not back down.Charles's eyebrows pinched together a bit. He had a way of commanding the room without even changing his expression. When he heard what was going on, he looked straight at Xavier and said in an icy voice, "If I'm not mistaken, is

Noelle glanced at where Charles was holding her, then up at his slightly smiling face. "Feeling good?" Charles raised an eyebrow and looked down at her hand. Noelle thought to herself that Charles could be so weird sometimes. He had more mood swings than a girl!"Come on, Grandpa and Granddad must be waiting!" Charles said, taking Noelle by the hand and leading her to Samuel's room. He held her hand the whole way there. Noelle tried to pull away a few times, but he would not let go. "Nobody's going to see us here!"He gently touched Noelle's forehead. "What's there to worry about?"Noelle sighed, realizing she could not get away, and let Charles lead on.When they got to Samuel's room, Sebastian and Samuel were in the middle of a playful argument, neither backing down.Noelle laughed, and Sebastian and Samuel paused, looking a bit sheepish at the doorway where she and Charles stood.Seeing Grandpa and Granddad being so silly made Noelle secretly happy, though she tried not to s

Charles was Sebastian's student, and Sebastian trusted him completely. However, when it came to Noelle's happiness, he had to think about everything. "Sir Shaw is right," he said. "Until you two have your wedding, us old folks won't be able to relax!"Noelle shook her head, looking at Charles for help. However, Charles just looked back at her, his eyes asking for an answer. Noelle bit her lip, feeling overwhelmed."Grandpa, Granddad," Noelle had tried to explain this before. "Charles and I don't really need a big wedding. We...""Grandpa, Granddad!" Charles finally spoke up, not wanting to see Noelle struggle. He gently placed his hands over hers and said, "Noelle and I will have our wedding soon, and we'll make sure everyone knows she's my wife. However, before that, Noelle has some things to sort out. I'll help her with what I can, but there are some things she has to do on her own."Charles spoke with confidence, not too humble or too proud, even though he was talking to his eld

Winter had just gone to the restroom, and as it turned out, so had Xavier. She ended up seeing everything that happened there. The sight of Xavier still hung up on Noelle made Winter's heart ache, and she was about to confront him when someone grabbed her hand. Winter spun around, surprised to see Annie. "What are you doing, grabbing me like that?"Annie pulled Winter into a corner. Even though she had touched up her makeup, the scars on her face were still peeking through. Winter could not help but feel a shiver run down his spine.Annie saw the look on Winter's face and thought to herself that Winter was being silly, but she said, "What good will it do if you go up there now?" She glanced over again and saw Charles heading over. She took Winter's hand and led her away. "Today's your wedding to Xavier. If you cause a fuss now, you might end up becoming a laughingstock. You've just married Xavier. If you make a scene, it won't look good for the Harris family, will it?"Winter listen

"Why are you in such a hurry? Has Mom ever broken a promise to you?" Jade asked. "Is something bothering you?""I..." Winter angrily told her about what had just happened outside the bathroom, but she left out the part about Charles showing up. Jade's eyes sparkled with anger, and she clenched her fists. "That mean girl Noelle! She's too daring. We really need to show her who’s boss!""Yes, Mom, I agree. If we don't, Xavier will keep thinking about her now that she's single. Can you believe what Xavier said? He told me he'd cancel our wedding and marry Noelle if she agreed. Mom, they're not taking me seriously, nor you or the entire Shaw family.""Don't worry. I'll handle this quickly. For now, just focus on getting ready. No one can ruin your wedding." She was determined not to let that mean girl Noelle spoil her daughter's happiness.Jade had just stepped out of Winter's lounge when she grabbed her phone and made a call. "Hey, Yitty, has he arrived?"He's here, and that's wonder

"Stop the nonsense. I'm thinking of our Shaw family's future. Marrying into Charles's family is like joining one of Brookville's top four families. It's something many can only wish for!""It's still a no-go!" Jade said firmly, leaning in to whisper to Julian, "I've got someone else in mind for Noelle, and he's on his way.""Who's that?""The Smiths. They're also one of the top families. Remember the woman I saved back in my younger days?" Jade smiled. "That was Miss Yitty of the Smith family. I've heard she has a son. He’s a real enigma, and hardly anyone's seen him. Yitty owed me a favor for saving her.""You want to set Noelle up with Yitty's son?" Julian asked, his eyes lighting up with greed.It did not have to be Charles. Anyone who could lend a hand to the Shaw family was just as good. Julian nodded to himself, thinking. "Just make sure to keep an eye out later, and as for him...""Don't worry, I just spoke with Yitty on the phone," Jade assured him. "She said her son is d

Kelly trembled from head to toe when she heard Yves's words. She tried to push him away, but Yves was too strong, and she could not get free. "Let me go, Yves! You're crazy, a creep, let me go!" Kelly kept struggling. She tried to slap him, but Yves caught her other hand.Yves pulled Kelly close, and his chilly breath wrapped around her. She shivered, but Yves just hugged her tighter. "After all these years, you haven't changed a bit!"Kelly felt a chill all over her body. She wanted to push him away, but she could not muster the strength.Yves held Kelly in his arms. His firm chin was visible outside his mask, and his cool lips brushed against Kelly's cheek as he softly laughed. "Kelly, I've missed you too!"Kelly suddenly looked up, her surprised eyes meeting Yves's deep ones.His eyes were different from Charles's. Charles's gaze was icy and emotionless, like chunks of ice.However, Yves's eyes were different. They were just as deep but had a touch of warmth. His eyes were lik

Jethro saw Kelly wake up, her eyes sharply staring at him, showing no sign of recognition, as if she had never met him. If it were not for the icy hate in her eyes, he might have thought Kelly did not know him at all."Kelly!""Be quiet!" Kelly yelled, cutting him off, "You can't call me by my name."Jethro's brow creased, his gaze from behind the mask still fixed on Kelly.He had to admit Noelle and Kelly could almost be twins. The last time he saw Noelle, he thought she was Kelly. If Noelle had not acted so differently from Kelly, he might have mixed them up for real.Noelle was super relaxed, just like someone else he knew. Kelly was not like that. Although she was older than Noelle, she did not stay composed like her. Even when Noelle was scared, she kept her composure around him.That's how he knew Noelle was not Kelly. Kelly acted shy sometimes, which did not really fit who she was.He watched Kelly and could not help but reach out, but she smacked my hand away. She gave h

"Ha!" Kelly gave a dismissive laugh and brushed off the man's words. "You think I'd believe you?" She would not believe it for a second. "If he really cared about me, would he have let me wander alone for years? Stop the car. I don't want to see him.""Sorry, but my job is to take you back home, Ms. Anderson!" The man would not listen to Kelly. "Ms. Anderson, just hold on. We'll be there soon."Kelly stopped struggling because she knew that this man would not let her go no matter what she said.Kelly did not know what was happening, but after a bit, she felt weak, and her head spun. Before she knew it, she was fast asleep. The man in the front seat peeked back, took the cloth from her face, and saw Kelly sleeping peacefully. He started the car and drove off.Ronald was hiding outside the hospital. He saw Kelly get into the car and quickly called Charles. "Mr. Hoffman, it happened just like you said. That guy couldn't wait and pretended to be me to take Ms. Anderson."Charles was b

After hopping into the car, Kelly noticed that Ronald was unusually silent, not uttering a single word.Kelly did not know Ronald super well, but she knew enough to sense that something was off. "Mr. Wells, where's the toy Charles told you to pick up for me? Seth's been waiting for his Transformers set!"The man in front jerked in surprise, then said, "Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I was so focused on picking you up that I forgot. How about I get it tomorrow?"The man who was supposed to be Ronald eyed Kelly cautiously, and she did the same to him. When he finally answered her question, Kelly's forehead creased with worry. "Mr. Wells, could you pull over at..." She scanned the surroundings. "There's a mall right across the street. Let's stop there so I can grab a present for Seth. I haven't seen him all day, and I bet he'll be upset if I come back empty-handed!"Kelly's request made sense, but the man hesitated for quite a while. "You know things aren't safe right now. We still don't hav

"Aren't you just being careless?" Kelly helped Noelle into her room, her voice full of concern. "You're young and look healthy now, but when you get older, you'll see that your body can't handle the way you've been treating it!"Noelle laughed. "You talk like you're so experienced, but you're only a year older than me, right?"Kelly blushed a little, feeling awkward. "I'm still your older sister.""Yes." Noelle did not want to bicker with Kelly. "Anyway, where's Seth?"Kelly was at the Hoffmans', where Seth was having a blast playing with Bran. Her face lit up as she talked about Seth. It was clear Kelly adored him. "Seth hardly ever finds friends his own age, but he and Bran get along great!"Kelly always had more to say about Seth. "Tania's done an amazing job raising Bran on her own.""Yeah!" Noelle agreed, giving a nod. "Tania really went through a lot at first." She reached out and held Kelly's hand. "It's been tough for you too, raising Seth by yourself, hasn't it?"Kelly

Noelle could not shake the feeling that something was wrong. Lately, when Kelly visited, she seemed troubled. Thinking back on their recent conversations, Noelle grew increasingly worried. As she burst through the door, her heart raced. She wanted to stop what was happening, but it was too late.The moment Noelle entered, Kelly had already grabbed the syringe from Sean and jabbed it into her arm, pushing the medicine in with a quick thrust.Kelly's face was pale, and when she saw Noelle, she tried to smile. "Noelle, what are you doing here?""What are you doing?"Noelle grabbed the syringe from Kelly, but it was too late. The medicine was already in.With tears in her eyes, Noelle bit her lip hard. "Why did you have to do this?""What did I do wrong?" Kelly noticed Noelle's teary eyes and chuckled softly. "I just felt a little sick, so Sean gave me a shot. Why the tears?""You're still trying to trick me. It can't just be a shot, you..." Noelle felt like they were all treating h

"No need. Where was the secret Lifebringer seen two days ago? Email me all the details, and get a high-performance car ready." Peter got into the car after speaking. Jeremy was shocked for a second, then hurried to follow, taking the seat next to the driver. "Mr. Lennon, I'm on it right now!"Half an hour had passed, and Jeremy had emailed all the details about the secret Lifebringer to Peter. Meanwhile, Peter's team had quickly arranged for a rugged Hummer to be at his disposal. "Mr. Lennon, is this to your liking?" they asked.Without even a sideways glance at Jeremy, Peter hopped into the vehicle and clicked his seatbelt into place. "Get everyone on it right away. Search every nook and cranny, and keep in touch with me non-stop by phone," he instructed.Just as Peter was about to zoom off, Jeremy called out, "Mr. Lennon, shouldn't you bring some backup? It's been pretty dangerous in Francoria lately."Peter shook his head. "No need. More people just means more problems." He was

Peter left the next morning, bright and early. Tania knew where he was headed, but she could not shake off a feeling of unease.Before he left, Peter had a serious talk with Charles. Tania knew things were serious, even though Peter and Charles had not told her everything.Charles had a lot on his plate, looking after both Noelle and Collosus Group. Lately, Collosus Group had been rocked by chaos, from outside attacks to internal strife. Charles realized that was not like the minor troubles of the past. The enemy had come prepared, secretly placing many of their own inside Collosus Group. If Steven had not led a team to breach the enemy's firewall and uncover some clues, Charles might have been clueless about the infiltration.Worried that Tania might be in danger, Charles decided to place her and Bran under the protection of the Hoffman family.The Hoffman estate might not look like much from the outside, but Maxwell had been busy over the years, gathering a strong team of guards.

"Hey, come over here and see me," Noelle said, waving them over to sit down. Peter had taken Sean and Charles outside, leaving Tania feeling relieved and at ease. She sat down with Bran next to Noelle and asked, "So, Kelly knows what's going on with you too?"Noelle nodded. "Yes, she does. That's why she didn't just come to visit."Tania nodded, understanding. She glanced at Noelle's belly, her eyes filled with concern and a bit of worry.Noelle caught the look and reassured her with a smile. "I'm not too worried, you know. You've been okay for three years now."Tania's smile faded a little. She kept to herself that she had not had any problems because she had not faced any triggers. However, Noelle had faced something that set off her condition last time, which was why she got sick so quickly."Right, then it should all be fine. I think my brother just wants to make sure you're okay by having you in the hospital. So, you might as well make the most of it and get him to spoil you
