Arya happened to come over just then. "Mr. Parker, are you heading out now? Are you going to West City?""Yes." Brian took the documents from Arya, glanced at them, and said, "Redo these. Also, you don't need to come with me today. Noelle will accompany me. I need the revised data on my desk by the time I return."He handed the documents back to Arya. "Understood?"Arya quickly came to her senses but shot a meaningful glance at Noelle. Noelle returned the look with a kind smile.Brian did not pay much attention to the exchange. When he noticed Noelle was not following him, he turned back with a hint of displeasure. "Ms. Shaw, you've just joined the company. Do you want to leave a bad impression on your boss right away?""I'm coming right now!" Noelle hurried to catch up."Mr. Parker, I'm new here and still a rookie. Aren't you worried about what others might say if you take me along on an outing so soon?" Noelle had not thought much of it at first, but Arya's glance just now clea

"You're quite sharp," Brian said with a hint of admiration flickering in his eyes, making him reconsider some of his earlier prejudices about Noelle.It seemed that some people and situations could not be judged solely by appearances or by looking at a resume. If someone like Charles had taken an interest in Noelle, she must have some extraordinary talents. A man like Charles would never be drawn to someone who was merely average.Brian continued, "These are indeed significant issues. If we're going to build and expand in this area, there are many factors we need to consider. That's why we're going over today to take a closer look."Brian's car had just exited the highway and was heading toward West City. He stopped at a gas station to refuel.Noelle took the opportunity to stretch her legs. She walked around the area and took in her surroundings. When she returned, she saw Brian leaning against the car, holding an unlit cigarette.Seeing her approach, Brian put the cigarette away

Meanwhile, Winter stood in the quiet of the night. The atmosphere was as still as water. It was her first time stepping into the home that belonged to her and Xavier, and she could not help but feel a surge of happiness.Previously, Xavier had been living with Joseph and Emilia, but Emilia had thought it was time for her son and daughter-in-law to have their own space, especially since they were both adults. Hence, she arranged a marital home for them well in advance. The house was not far from the Harris family's residence. It was just next door, in fact, making them neighbors.Considering that her daughter-in-law was a famous actress, likely to attract attention, Emilia spared no expense in preparing the home. She decorated it entirely in Winter's preferred style.When Winter stepped inside, she was overjoyed. Even seeing Xavier drunk and passed out did not dampen her spirits at all."Winter, Xavier was just so happy today that he ended up drinking a bit too much. Please be pat

"Yeah," Xavier responded as he pulled out the gift from Charles. Upon opening it, his brows furrowed slightly.Winter leaned in to take a look and found there were two items; one was a global travel package, and the other was a document specifically for Winter.Winter took the document, and her eyes lit up. "It's an endorsement deal with CMC! Gosh, that's such a prestigious Estodian brand. Charles really has such wide connections!" Her eyes sparkled with excitement.Compared to the travel package, Winter was far more thrilled about the endorsement. After all, it was not money she lacked but time. This endorsement represented something much more too—fashion resources and a potential increase in her status, which were crucial for her standing in the entertainment industry."Gosh!" Winter was practically over the moon. "Xavier, I just love you so much!" she exclaimed, planting a kiss on Xavier's lips, entirely missing how dark his expression had become.To Xavier, such a gift felt li

"I don't care how your previous agency operated. Here, you follow our rules. Winter needs to be rebranded. Otherwise, her past controversies could easily resurface!"Cade hung up the phone without waiting for a response and then called Ronald to report that he had already given the other party a stern talking-to. He assured Ronald that there was no need to worry further—he would handle the situation properly.Noelle spent the entire day with Brian, mostly walking and stopping around the abandoned areas of West City for inspections.Brian, being thorough, shared his observations and thoughts with Noelle as they went along. In turn, Noelle took notes while struggling to keep up in her high heels. It was not until the sun began to set that Brian finally called it a day. "That's enough for today," he said.Brian glanced at Noelle and noticed that she could barely stand, let alone walk. However, from morning until now, she had not uttered a single complaint or unnecessary word. She had

Noelle was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. She patted the steering wheel and turned to look at the man behind her. "I hadn't thought of that. If that's the case, then you'd have to call Brian your mentor too!"Charles frowned, closing the file in his hands. "You seem quite pleased with yourself."Noelle bit her lip, trying hard to suppress her laughter. Her shoulders shook as she struggled to keep a straight face, but she shook her head vigorously. "No. Not at all!"Charles narrowed his eyes, his dark orbs glinting mischievously in the dimly lit car. Noelle felt a flutter in her chest and swallowed nervously, but in her anxiety, she accidentally kicked the car door, wincing in pain."What's wrong?" Charles heard her sharp intake of breath and frowned, leaning over to check on her. "Where did you hurt yourself?"He quickly exited the car, opened the driver's side door, and saw Noelle cradling her foot.He gently lifted it and noticed that her ankle was swollen

Charles stood up with a hint of exasperation. "I'll let you off just this once!"He then leaned down to pick Noelle up. Confused, Noelle asked, "Charlie, what are you doing?""You're injured. How are you supposed to drive? Sit in the passenger seat." Charles lifted Noelle into his arms. Knowing she had made a mistake, Noelle nodded rapidly like a pecking chick, letting Charles hold her close. There was a smile spreading across her face.Charles glanced down at her. "What are you smiling about?""Charlie, sometimes you're so naggy, even more than my grandfathers. You're like a little old man!""Really?" Charles narrowed his eyes, giving her a warning look.Noelle immediately clung to his arm, trying to flatter him. "But you're my little old man!" She reached up to smooth the frown lines on his forehead. "Charlie, don't frown so much. It doesn't look good."As she gently stroked his forehead, she continued like a concerned old lady, "If you get old, how will you keep up with me?"

"Alright." Noelle nodded. "Hurry up and go."Charles got out of the car and walked into a pharmacy. He bought some medicine, then returned to find that Noelle had dozed off again.He shook his head with a mix of amusement and resignation.When Noelle woke up again, she found herself lying in bed. The bedroom curtains were drawn, blocking out the outside light. She sat up and checked the time, realizing it was already close to 8:00 pm. She had slept for nearly two hours.Looking down, she noticed that her foot no longer hurt, and it had been cleaned and treated with medicine. A smile spread across her face, her heart filled with a warm, sweet feeling.She smacked her forehead when she suddenly remembered something. She hurriedly got out of bed. She got dressed and tidied her hair.She first checked the study but did not find Charles there, so she headed downstairs.As soon as she reached the staircase, Noelle caught the aroma of stew brewing. Her eyes lit up with excitement.She

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
