"Alright!" Annie agreed readily. After Winter and Xavier had walked far away enough, a few others approached Annie and began chatting. "I heard that Noelle and Winter never got along since they were kids. Seems like there's a story there!""Do you remember what happened a few months ago during Winter's engagement party? Noelle caused quite a scene, claiming that the sisters were fighting over the same man. It even made the news.""Really? I didn't know about that.""Annie, do you know any details?""Why do we need details? Let's just follow them and see what's going on! I have a feeling something interesting is about to happen!"The group chatted amongst themselves, and soon, they all decided to follow along. Annie was the last to move.She quickly called Noelle, asking where she was and whether she had already left.At that moment, Noelle was in the restroom. She had initially planned to leave, but after reconsidering, she felt too unwilling to go. She wanted to see exactly wha

Winter's face immediately flushed red. "Maybe... we got the wrong room. She must be somewhere else!"However, Xavier's expression darkened, becoming almost terrifying. He stared at the door with his fists clenched tightly. Even his eyes were bloodshot. Frightened by Xavier's expression, Winter hurriedly said, "Xavier, let's check somewhere else!""It's your birthday, and this entire floor was reserved by me," Xavier growled through gritted teeth. "How could there be anyone else in here?""But..."Seeing that Xavier was about to push the door open, Winter quickly blocked his way. "Xavier, calm down. It might be a mistake. Don't do anything rash," she pleaded, noticing his expression growing more ominous. "Noelle isn't like that. She...""Move aside!""Xavier, don't!" Winter insisted, grabbing his arm and shaking her head. "Xavier, please. Others are coming!"Xavier looked up to see that most of the people from the party had gathered nearby.He scowled deeply and glanced at Win

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Noelle, sharing the same disbelief. It seemed as though they had all assumed that the person in the room was Noelle, so seeing her standing in front of them left them stunned.Noticing their reactions, Noelle looked around curiously. "Why wouldn't I be here? Wasn't it Annie who brought me here to rest?" she asked, turning to Annie.Annie quickly snapped out of her daze. "Yes, I did bring you here to rest, but you...""This is impossible, Noelle. Aren't you supposed to be in that room? That room..." Winter's mind was in complete chaos. She could not figure out where things had gone wrong.Annie had confirmed that Noelle was in the room, and Suzy had supposedly led Simon in as well. What was going on?"Why is it impossible? I was in the room resting, but I started feeling unwell from drinking too much, so I went to the restroom," Noelle explained.She then looked around the crowd, asking, "Why are you all gathered here? What are you doing?"Winter's f

The chaos of the scene dragged on for quite a while, with some people stepping in to separate the three involved. Meanwhile, others merely stood by and enjoyed the spectacle. Noelle simply stood coldly at the doorway, watching the absurdity unfold.She felt no sympathy for Suzy because if Noelle had not been forewarned, she knew she could have been the one suffering this humiliation. However, what Noelle could not fathom was how far Winter was willing to go to target her.Noelle's gaze grew increasingly icy as she looked at Winter. She clenched her fists silently, but inwardly, she had already decided Winter's fate.Winter was completely at a loss. She watched as Suzy curled up on the floor, her entire being in a state of shock.Though Suzy was now covered with clothes, her face was swollen and disfigured. Her hair was in disarray, and her arms bore visible marks of abuse.As Winter moved closer, Suzy panicked and pushed her away, shouting, "Don't touch me! Don't touch me!""Ev

When Winter entered the banquet hall, Xavier had already calmed down most of the guests, with many having already left.Only a few remained, including Noelle, who seemed to be waiting for her.Winter took a deep breath and approached. "Noelle."Noelle curled her lips into a smile. "You look upset, Winter. It's understandable. After all, having something like this happen at your birthday party would upset anyone. Especially when the main person involved is your best friend!"She smiled. "But are you more upset that your birthday party was ruined or that your good friend was taken advantage of?""Noelle, how could you say that? I didn't want something like this to happen either. I can hold my birthday party anytime, but… I didn't know this would happen."I'm sad because Suzy is my best friend, and she was hurt like that. But I'm also relieved that you weren't the one involved. Otherwise, it would've been you…""Yes, I'm relieved and happy too." Noelle smiled brightly at Winter.

The moment Winter saw Noelle standing unharmed before her, she already felt on the verge of breaking down.Now, seeing Simon's attitude while recalling Suzy's earlier state, Winter's resolve crumbled even further. She clenched her teeth, her fists tightening. "Mr. York, what are you doing here? I thought I saw you leave to rest after getting drunk.""Yes, I did feel a bit tipsy. Your good friend was kind enough to help me over," Simon replied, his sly fox-like eyes glinting with amusement.He gave Winter a once-over. "Ms. Shaw, are you sure you don't need a doctor? You shouldn't be looking so pale at your own birthday party!"Winter wavered, nearly losing her balance.There were rumors about Simon in the circles—that he was a cold and unprincipled man, the most ruthless of them all. It was also said that those who crossed him never met a good end.No matter how much Winter had schemed, she had not expected Simon to be this unyielding. It seemed he knew everything. "Mr. York, you'

Noelle's eyebrows lifted in surprise when she spotted Sean. She approached him with a curious tilt of her head. "What are you doing in Charles’ car?"Sean's eyes crinkled with amusement. "Didn't expect me, huh?" He glanced over her shoulder, prompting her to turn and frown. "Why did he come too?"Sean shrugged off her concern. "Don't worry about it. Hop in!"He swung open the passenger door. Noelle climbed in, only to find Charles sitting in the back. "Charles!" she exclaimed, her surprise evident.He just nodded. "Buckle up."She clicked her seatbelt into place and turned to Sean, who was now in the driver's seat. "What are both of you doing here?" She paused, a lightbulb going off in her head. "Oh, are you still going by Bob today?"Sean spread his hands wide, a mock sigh escaping him. "Yep, I'm stuck with someone else's name for now. What a world!"Noelle could not help but laugh. "You've got quite the sense of humor!""I appreciate the compliment!" Sean hit the gas, and the

Winter crumpled to the ground, her eyes hollow as she watched Simon walk away. Her fists were clenched so tight that they trembled as shock coursed through her.Xavier had just finished with the guests when he spotted Winter, looking lost and forlorn by the front door. He rushed over and lifted her to her feet. "Winter, what's wrong?"She threw her arms around him, her body still quivering. She tried to hold it in, but the tears broke through and streamed down her face.Xavier could tell Winter was torn up about what happened to Suzy, so he gave her a reassuring pat on the back. "Hey, none of this is your fault. The ones to blame are..." He paused, searching for the right words. "Yevgen and Chandler. They're the real culprits. They went way over the line.""Where are they now?" Winter's thoughts snapped back to Suzy. "I can't just sit here. I need to see how Suzy's doing."Suzy had already slipped out the back door with Annie by her side. Suzy was a mess of nerves, wanting to hide

"What's the matter? Is looking at me enough to fill you up?"Yves turned to Kelly, pulling out a chair and sitting beside her. His long fingers picked up the silverware and served her the meal. "Eat up. Isn't this your favorite?"Her favorite?Kelly stared back at Yves, her gaze frosty. "Do you even know what I like?"Yves put his hands down and gazed at Kelly. "What's wrong? Don't you like the food?" Without waiting for her answer, he quickly summoned the two servants from earlier. "Madam doesn't like the food. You know I don't keep anything around that isn't useful.""Please, madam, have mercy! Sir, have mercy!" The servants' faces turned ghostly white as they stood stiffly on the marble floor, apologizing repeatedly. Kelly's heart raced with fear. "Stop, please. I'll eat, okay? Isn't that enough?"She bowed her head and started gobbling up the food, scared that Yves, who she thought was crazy, might do something unpredictable if he got upset.Kelly could not see the slight

Kelly felt a chill run through her. "Yves, you're just too scary."Kelly did not know much about the Lennon family, but she remembered how Peter had single-handedly brought down Lennon Group six months ago. What if they had not fallen? What about Peter's uncle..."Scary? What I've done is nothing compared to the Hoffman family. They're the real filth. Once you get involved with them, you're tainted too. Don't you think so?" Yves's eyes burned with undisguised hatred as he mentioned the Hoffman family."It's getting late, and you must be hungry by now!"Yves ignored Kelly's protests, bent down, and scooped her up in his arms.Kelly tried to wriggle free, but Yves held her tight. "Unless you fancy going hungry!"Realizing she was getting nowhere, Kelly stopped struggling. She had used up a lot of energy arguing and messing around with Yves, and then she felt drained.Once Kelly was calm, Yves carried her down to the restaurant on the ground floor.Several people stood guard in th

"What did you say?"Just a second ago, Yves might have looked totally calm and unbothered, but then he was like a scary fighter from the darkest night. He grabbed Kelly's hand, his frosty stare locking onto her. When he squeezed just a little, Kelly was trapped, unable to move at all.It hurt so much, like her heart was being drilled into.Kelly's face went white as she looked at Yves, whose face was hidden behind a mask.Somehow, even though she could not see his face, she could tell from his icy, sharp eyes that he was surprised, shocked, and hurting.He held onto Kelly's wrist so tight. His eyes looked like they could eat her up. "Say that again!" he said through clenched teeth, like he was so mad he could gobble her up.Kelly had never seen Yves look so ruthless and fierce, like a messenger from the underworld. She shivered, totally scared, but Yves kept his gaze right on her. "How could you, how dare you!"Was this woman out of her mind? She actually dared to inject herself

Yves just laughed when he heard her. "You've lost respect for me?" He towered over Kelly, who was sitting on the bed. He reached out and gently lifted her chin with his finger, gazing intently into her eyes. "There's no such thing as an innocent person in this world, right?""Let me go!" Kelly jerked her head away. "That's just your dark heart talking. Noelle never hurt you, and neither did Tania or Bran. I can't figure out why you're after them. Sure, you have issues with Charles and the Hoffmans, but go after them, not innocent people!"Yves squinted, then let go of her chin and looked at his finger. "Going after the Hoffmans, huh? Just wait and see what happens.""Yves, are you out of your mind? What did the Hoffmans ever do to you? Aren't you a Hoffman too?"Kelly was confused about Yves's motives, so she tried to get him to spill the beans. However, Yves took her words the wrong way, thinking she meant something else."Do you feel bad for Charles?" "I don't know what you're

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
