"Okay, okay, I'll take her away right now. Charles, just cool down, okay? You know she... she didn't mean any of this. Don't hold it against her," Clarisse said, rushing over to grab Janet's hand. "Janet, cut it out, come with me." She leaned in and whispered something that made Janet's fierce gaze flicker with doubt. "Aunt Clary, are you for real?""Have I ever lied to you? Come on. Let's head home."It took some doing, but Clarisse managed to lead Janet away. Charles squinted, giving the area a quick once-over. The crowd that had been rubbernecking scattered, cowed by Charles's commanding vibe.Charles's scowl lingered until Clarisse's car was out of sight. Then he tapped on the car door. "Open up, Noelle!"Noelle had been in the middle of changing in the back seat when Janet came charging over like she had lost her mind. It freaked Noelle out so much that she froze, not even daring to breathe too loudly. Her heart was pounding in her throat, especially after hearing the crazy st

"She does.""And she's still pushing you to marry Janet?" Noelle was dumbfounded, but noticing Charles's troubled look, she quickly flashed a smile and steered the conversation elsewhere. "So, where are we headed now?""We're going to pick someone up."Charles glanced at Noelle. "Don't worry about me. If you want to know more about Janet, I'll fill you in. But we've got bigger fish to fry right now." He said this and playfully tousled Noelle's hair.Noelle was not having it this time. She flicked Charles's hand off her head. "Quit it with the head-patting. You've totally wrecked my hair. Weren't we supposed to meet some bigwigs soon? How am I supposed to show my face like this!" She pulled out a compact mirror from her purse and, seeing the hair disaster Charles had caused, shot him a look that could freeze lava. "Next time, hands off the hair unless I say so, got it?"Charles gave her a sideways glance, his eyes dancing with mischief as he nodded. "Got it!"With a sigh, Noelle d

Stepping out of the car, Noelle smoothed down her outfit, looking sharp. Charles followed suit, eyeing Noelle's attire with approval."How's this? It's got to be perfect now, right? Oh, and who are we meeting later? I need a little warning so I can get my game face on!" Noelle said, sneaking a peek at Charles. She caught him staring at her and self-consciously checked herself out. "Does it not look good?""You look great!" Charles assured her, his gaze intense. "Come on, we should head out. It's time!" He glanced at his watch, which read two o'clock. "Ronald mentioned the plane's touching down at two. We should be able to catch him if we go now."Noelle grinned. "You haven't spilled the beans yet. Who is it?""George!" Charles replied. Noelle paused for a beat, then her eyes widened. "The head engineer? George Gibson?""Have you heard of him?" Charles asked, unfazed, offering his hand. Noelle took it and matched his stride. "Heck yeah, George is a legend! Mr. Parker can't stop tal

"Well... I just gave it to Mr. Hoffman, and he hasn't said anything yet," Noelle explained. Charles pointed at Noelle's phone, gesturing for her to hand it over.Noelle bit her lip. "Mr. Parker, I'm with Mr. Hoffman right now, and he says he wants to speak with you!"Noelle handed the phone to Charles, who took it and said briefly, "This is Charles. I've received the documents you asked Noelle to pass on to me, but I haven't had the chance to review them yet. "But everything seems fine. I'll get back to you this evening. Since you're not feeling well, take it easy and rest up.""Yes, Mr. Hoffman!" Brian replied. Since Charles was not in a hurry, Brian naturally did not rush things either. However, Brian seemed to remember something and asked, "Are you with Noelle now, Mr. Hoffman?""Is there a problem?" Charles' tone shifted abruptly. Just then, his phone rang.He glanced down at Noelle and gestured for her to take out his phone and answer it.Noelle pouted and reluctantly pull

"Alright. Let's go!" Charles nodded. He took his phone from Noelle's hand and casually put it in his pocket, but he did not return Noelle's phoneNoelle opened her mouth to speak but then noticed Charles walking beside her, fiddling with her phone.As he had found the right angle, he pulled Noelle closer and quickly snapped a photo. Noelle heard the sound of the shutter and saw that both their faces had been captured.Pouting, she muttered, "What are you doing?" She reached to grab her phone, but Charles held it high above his head. It was out of her reach even when she stood on her tiptoes."Charles, why are you holding my phone? And if you want to take a photo, at least give me a heads-up. I wasn't even ready! Give me my phone," Noelle complained.Charles smirked, his long fingers tapping away on the screen. Finally satisfied, he handed the phone back to Noelle.Noelle was about to grumble a bit more, but then she noticed that Charles had set that photo as her wallpaper. "Why d

"I'm done with you!" Noelle's face turned crimson, and she decided to walk ahead, ignoring Charles entirely.Charles chuckled, smirking as he took long strides to catch up with Noelle. "Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Let's focus on finding Mr. Click."When they arrived, George was off to the side, anxiously urging his assistant to handle matters. Due to the language barrier, communication was proving difficult. Judging by George's demeanor, the missing luggage was clearly important."George!" Charles approached and extended his hand. "Remember me?""Charles? Oh, were you the one sent to pick me up?" George's face lit up when he saw Charles, but his gaze quickly shifted to Noelle. "And who is this?""My wife," Charles responded in fluent Farisian, and George's eyes sparkled when he looked at Noelle. He then said, "Charles, your wife is beautiful.""Thank you." Noelle had not formally studied Farisian in college, but since Teresa had shown interest, Noelle sometimes audited the

"Yes, I look forward to working together." Charles glanced down and called Noelle. "Haven't found it yet?""Found it! We're just waiting for it to be delivered. How's it going on your end? By the way, it's getting late. Should we take them to the hotel first, or should we grab something to eat?"Noelle considered that they had been on a long flight and might be tired and hungry, especially after lingering at the airport for so long."Come back first, and we'll figure it out. Becky should've already booked the hotel. I'll get the address from her in a bit."Charles ended the call and turned to George. "My wife said your luggage was found and will be brought over soon!""Oh, that's great news." George finally relaxed, but then he asked, "Charles, when did you get married? There was no news at all!""Not too long ago." When Charles spoke about Noelle, his expression softened, and there was a warmth in his eyes. George noticed and nodded knowingly. "Seems like you've found the one me

"Thank you so much, Charles. Your wife is very considerate," George praised Noelle generously."Yes, my wife is amazing!" Charles readily agreed, never holding back on complimenting Noelle in front of others.After dropping George off, it was already quite late, so they decided not to head to the office and went straight home instead.It had been an exhausting day. Feeling worn out, Noelle kicked off her shoes and went straight to the master bedroom to rest.Knowing how tired she was, Charles did not disturb her and went to the study to review the survey data that Brian had given him.He became engrossed in his work and lost track of time. He continued until late into the night. After a nap, Noelle woke up feeling much better. Upon noticing Charles was not beside her, she slipped out of bed to look for him.Seeing the light on in the study, Noelle knocked gently on the door. Charles' calm voice came from inside, "Come in!"Noelle opened the door and saw Charles deeply focused on

"Sean, stop messing around. Let go of me first," Liliana tugged at Sean's arm, realizing how tightly he was holding her. "You're choking me."Only then did Sean loosen his grip slightly, though he still did not let her go. His forehead rested against hers, and he panted softly. "Liliana, do you remember what you said to me in the fire?"Liliana's face turned red, and she awkwardly turned her head away. "N-No, I don't remember. What did I say? I don't think I—mmph..."Before she could finish, Sean kissed her, swallowing the rest of her words with that one stubborn kiss.Liliana raised her hands and smacked Sean on the shoulder, trying to push him away. "Sea—mmph, what are you doing? Let me go..."She shoved him hard, and Sean stumbled back, clutching his chest. Liliana's face went pale, and she rushed over. "Sean, what's wrong? Are you okay? Did I hurt you somewhere?"Nonetheless, Sean took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her again. That feeling of holding her tightly

Noelle raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say that."Then, she added, "That knot in Liliana's heart can only be undone by Sean."What happened back then had always been a shadow between the two of them. Noelle had noticed it these past few days. Though Liliana stubbornly claimed she no longer cared, she clutched her phone every single day, obviously waiting for a call.Liliana's social circle was small. Noelle and the others knew everyone she knew. Who else could she be waiting for but Sean?Charles furrowed his brows. "If Liliana can't have the best, then she's better off with nothing."Noelle could not help but laugh. "Alright, alright. I know you're still holding a grudge against Hayes and Savannah."Honestly, Noelle shared the sentiment. "Savannah really crossed a line with how she handled everything."Charles reached out and gently pinched Noelle's knuckles. "That's not what I meant."Noelle chuckled, exasperated. "I know."Outside, the sound of a car engine drew their attentio

Sean shoved Hayes away. "Dad, if you're just like Mom and trying to stop me from being with Liliana, then don't even bother. If I can't marry Liliana in this lifetime, I won't marry anyone else."With that, Sean lay down decisively. Hayes frowned. "Sean, this isn't about what we want anymore. It's about Liliana and Charles now."Truthfully, Hayes did not have many opinions about Sean and Liliana's relationship. He was always too busy with the company to pay attention to such things. Even the events from four years ago were only now becoming clearer to him."If you insist on marrying her, I won't stop you. But from what I can see, the problem lies with Liliana and Charles."Sean's gaze sharpened as he clenched his fists. "That's impossible. Liliana already forgave me back when the fire happened. She promised that if we both made it out, she'd marry me."Hayes sighed. "Your mother… She misunderstood Liliana and said some harsh things. Just rest for now. Once you're better, we'll go

Sean spat out a mouthful of blood. One hand gripped the bedsheet tightly, his gaze turning darker than ever."What do you mean by that? What do you mean she doesn't want to marry me? She promised me. She said that as long as I was willing to walk out of that fire with her, she'd be with me. You're lying to me, aren't you? Tell me you're lying to me."Sean's bloodshot eyes locked on Savannah's. "Tell me."Savannah was momentarily stunned by the sheer force of Sean's gaze. This was the first time she ever felt fear in front of her own son. "Sean, I…""Where's Liliana?" Sean demanded."Sean," Hayes called out as he pushed open the door and stepped in. "That's no way to speak to your mother.""Then how should I speak to her?" Sean's voice turned icy."Did you know it was Joanna who drugged me nine years ago? And while I was under the influence, I forced myself on Liliana? I misunderstood her, and as a result, she had to hide in the countryside for years."Four years ago, it was me

The operating room door swung open, and Liliana spun around. She saw Saxon step out. Not caring about anyone else’s opinions, she grabbed his hand. "Mr. Holt, how's Sean?"Saxon looked down at their hands, noting how soft and warm hers was. He met her eyes and nodded. "The patient is out of danger now. He should wake up by tomorrow."Hearing that, Liliana let out a sigh of relief and then suddenly fainted."Liliana!"Charles rushed over and wrapped Liliana in a tight hug, but his eyes quickly darted to Hayes and Savannah. "Now that Sean is safe, Sean's fate is no longer Liliana's concern, nor ours," he declared, speaking for the Hoffman family.With those words, Charles carried Liliana away. Saxon was tugged along by Linda. "Saxon, you should check on her. The young lady seemed off to me. She's been hiding her pain. Besides the wound on her shoulder, I think she breathed in a lot of smoke."Saxon's eyes shimmered for a moment. "Yeah, I'm aware."Liliana had been pushing through

"Charles, you…""Stop it!" Hayes was taken aback by Savannah suddenly slapping Liliana. He did not particularly like or dislike Liliana, but she was part of the Hoffman family, and their family commanded much respect. Besides, Noelle was still Charles's wife, and they had to be careful about their actions.Hayes turned to Charles. "I'm sorry, my wife acted without thinking. But what in the world happened today?"Hayes had been told that his son was hurt, but he did not know the details. When he arrived and saw Liliana was there and injured too, Hayes and Savannah could not help but think that Liliana must be connected to Sean's injury.Charles gave a sharp look. "It was Joanna's doing.""Joanna? No, that can't be!" Savannah was shocked to hear the name Joanna, and she quickly objected, "Joanna is such a sweet girl, she couldn't possibly...""Oh, sweet indeed!"Liliana, who had been silent until then, finally spoke. She narrowed her eyes and stood up, ignoring the pain from her w

"Liliana!""Get up quickly!" Liliana used all her strength to pull Sean up from the ground. "Can you walk?""Uh-huh!" Sean had been hit by a falling piece of wood on his leg when he tried to push Liliana out earlier. That was why he could not get out in time and could only hear Liliana's loud calls from outside.He had wished so badly for Liliana to leave quickly, but she had come back for him.Sean bit down hard and pushed himself up.Even if it was hard to walk, he had to try because Liliana wanted him to stand.Liliana slung Sean's arm over her shoulder, noticing his injury. Her eyes were red with tears. "Sean, hang in there. If we both make it out today, I'll forgive you. You can ask me to do anything.""Really?" Sean's eyes sparkled, and he smiled. "Liliana, I don't want you to do anything." In his heart, he added, ‘I just want you to marry me.’"The fire is licking at our heels, and you two are still dawdling," came Charles's icy voice from up ahead. In a flash, he was be

"Sean, where are you? Didn't you just say you love me?" she cried out. "How can you leave me like this, saying you love me and then j-j-just giving up? What am I supposed to do now?"Sean, you took our child from me. How could you think I'd just forgive you? If you don't make this right, I swear I'll never forgive you," Liliana yelled outside, her voice filled with madness. Inside, the plant was engulfed in flames. Shaking from head to toe, Liliana's screams slowly turned into a whisper. She clenched her hands tight, staring blankly at the fire. "If you're gone, what's left for me here?""Liliana!"Charles rushed over and saw Liliana moving toward the flames. He grabbed her and pulled her back. "What are you doing?"Liliana looked up, dazed, and saw Charles. She quickly stood up and grabbed his hand. "Charles, please. I'm begging you. Help me save Sean, please!"Charles's brow creased as he looked at the fiery red inferno, his fingers tensing. "Liliana, the fire's too big. Sean mi

Liliana shoved Sean aside and covered him with her body, taking a knife stab from Joanna. "Ugh..."Pain whitened Liliana's face, and blood dripped onto Sean's face. Reacting quickly, Sean rolled over, picked Liliana up in his arms, and seized Joanna's neck, twisting it hard until it cracked. Joanna's eyes bulged in disbelief as she stared at Sean."You..."She had not thought Sean would actually snap her neck. Her eyes were wide open, one hand clutching a knife, and the other holding a lighter.With her last breath, she tossed the lighter.A loud bang followed, and flames started to spread from that spot.Sean's eyes darkened as he carried Liliana and dashed for the exit. However, how could he outrun the swift spread of the fire while burdened with Liliana's weight?Liliana's eyes widened as she saw the flames creeping up behind them. She pushed Sean, urging him, "Go now, or it'll be too late!"However, Sean's eyes turned a deep red with emotion. "Liliana, I won't let go of you
