"Hmm?" Charles smiled faintly. "Extraordinary?""Yeah, are you not? Just look at you. Not only are you great at work, but you're also amazing at racing—practically at a professional level. Tell me, how is it that we're both humans, yet you're so much better than me?" Noelle spoke with a hint of envy.Charles shook his head with a chuckle. "Everyone excels in different fields. You're amazing too."Setting his teacup down, Charles picked up a few sheets of paper, marking and circling diagrams before handing them to Noelle. "You need to watch out for these areas. The rest looks good. Has Brian already stepped back to let you handle this?""How did you know?" Noelle looked up in surprise, then chuckled. "Alright, I get it. My mentor's work wouldn't have been this bad, huh?""Don't underestimate yourself. You're doing well. Brian just has more experience, which naturally means he has faced more complex issues. Like these, and these." Charles pointed to the marked areas on the drafts. "

Noelle nodded. "I know that, but their company is small and not really in the scope of consideration. I didn't think you'd change anything because of them."Charles heard her and smiled slightly. He got up, walked behind Noelle, and placed his hands on her shoulders, gently massaging them.Noelle looked up, surprised by Charles' actions. She was about to pat his hand and ask him to sit down when Charles placed one hand over hers. "You seemed uncomfortable from working with your head down for so long," he noted.Noelle blinked, then smiled softly. "Alright. Thank you, Charlie."She realized she had indeed been hunched over for too long. Her shoulders and back were sore and numb. She had not expected Charles to notice such small details."I'm the kind of person who doesn't like anyone having control over my lifeline," Charles said as he continued to massage her shoulders with just the right amount of pressure, making her feel comfortable.She tilted her head to look into his eyes a

Charles thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, here's the plan."Tomorrow, I'll have Ronald find a place for George. Staying in a hotel for a year isn't ideal. As for the tea culture, don't you have a friend who runs a garden house? Take him there for a visit."I might not have much time this weekend. I need to meet with Peter.""Don't worry, leave it to me!" Noelle said.…Over the weekend, Charles went to meet Peter as planned while Noelle took Ronald to meet George. Ronald mentioned that they had already found a place—one of the standalone villas under Peter's name left over from when Lennon Group developed the area.Each of them had a few, though Charles rarely visited his.Noelle and Ronald picked up George, who seemed pleasantly surprised by the arrangements. "I didn't expect you to think of everything. I do need to stay in Brookville for about a year. Just yesterday, I was telling Dani that we should find a comfortable place since I'm not too fond of hotels.""The

"Parker?" George nodded. "He was my student, but he left Faris years ago. Do you know him, Ms. Shaw?"George's gaze shifted slightly as he looked at Noelle, especially when she nodded in response. "That's great! I haven't seen Parker in ages and have been wondering how he's doing!""He's doing well!" Noelle smiled. "Mr. Click, you probably haven't been to Westel for a few years, right? Mr. Parker is now at Collosus Group, and he's actually my boss! He was supposed to visit today, but Mr. Parker hasn't been feeling well these past few days, so he couldn't make it.""That's not an issue; there will be plenty of chances to meet later."As they spoke, Ronald drove the car into the villa area. Since a pass was required to enter, Noelle had one already prepared and handed it to the guard. "No. 1808.""Oh, is this visit for Mr. Hoffman's villa? He hasn't visited in a long time." The security guard knew Charles as anyone who passed through this villa area generally had to be verified.Af

"Mr. Smith, I think you may have misunderstood," Noelle could not help but interrupt Sean. "We don't plan to move in here.""Not moving in? Then why are you here today?"Noelle pointed upstairs. "Charlie brought in a chief engineer from abroad who needs to stay in Brookville for a year. I thought staying in a hotel for that long wouldn't be ideal, so we went looking for a place."Charlie said this villa was empty, and it would be a waste not to use it.""Tsk tsk, I bet this wasn't Charles's idea but yours!" Sean shook his head and gave her a thumbs-up. "Staying here not only makes the most of the property but also saves a lot on hotel expenses."Noelle squinted her eyes but did not argue back."Honestly, Charles is lucky to have married you," Sean commented, patting the couch. "You said the chief engineer is here? Where is he?""Ronald's showing them around upstairs, and I'm checking to see if we've missed anything," Noelle replied as she glanced around. "Would you like some tea

Noelle signaled to Ronald with a glance. George seemed very excited, but Dani appeared to be feeling unwell, so she stayed behind to rest.To accommodate her, Noelle had Ronald bring in a chef to serve George and his team.Noelle first took George to lunch, and afterward, they visited Homestyle Garden House. As soon as they reached the entrance, George was already full of praise. The garden house was established by Noelle and Teresa, who both managed it personally.The interior design and decor reflected their tastes, emphasizing tranquility and a traditional aesthetic that made the space feel incredibly comfortable.George admired the surroundings as he said, "Westel culture is truly profound." He switched to Westelian when saying the word 'profound', though his pronunciation was awkward. It sounded a bit odd but amusing, showcasing his genuine effort.Noelle nodded and walked ahead, introducing the place. "Mr. Click, you're too kind. My friend is inside, and you can have a good

"You're not late at all!" Noelle smiled when she saw Brian standing at the door, noticing a slight change in his demeanor. "Mr. Click is inside!"Brian nodded slightly, his face looking a bit pale. He then followed Noelle into the room.George spotted Brian immediately. He set down his teacup and stood up to greet him, "Brian, it's been a long time!""George, long time no see." The two men shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.Noticing that Brian still looked unwell, Noelle poured him a cup of warm water. "Mr. Parker, you didn't have to come if you weren't feeling well!""I'm fine." Brian accepted the cup politely but set it aside.He adjusted his coat with his slender fingers while Teresa served a cup of warm tea to George. She then stood up. "Mr. Parker, may I take your coat for you?"Teresa extended her hand politely. Brian paused, directing his gaze at Teresa for the first time. His dark eyes deepened as they lingered on her.Since Brian had arrived late, he did not kno

Peter smirked. "Didn't expect you to care about these things!" Then, he added, "It's the weekend. I thought you'd be busy.""I am busy, and I didn't really want to come," Charles replied bluntly. Peter narrowed his eyes, his piercing gaze landing on Charles. His long fingers tapped lightly on his knee. "About the West City project, are you sure you want Lennon Group involved?""What else?" Charles paused, rubbing his thumb against the base of his index finger. "I thought Lennon Group would be an ideal partner in Brookville.""But you should also know that I'm not the one in charge of Lennon Group anymore," Peter remarked casually, though his tone did not reveal much emotion. "The old man divided my power and gave part of it to Rex.""I trust you can handle it. Plus, that's an internal matter, and I won't interfere. But let's be real—are you seriously not planning to take full control of Lennon Group?" Charles asked, his sharp eyes flashing.For Charles, Lennon Group was like an un

Linda's big, sparkling eyes glimmered with mischief as she smiled at Jeremy.Jeremy suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. His gut told him this little girl was full of schemes. "No way. Mr. Lennon specifically said I can't untie you!""But I'm still a minor! I'm just a little kid! You've tied me up too tightly. Look at my wrists, they're red and bruised!" Linda blinked her eyes pitifully. Her expression was almost heartbreakingly innocent as she stared at Jeremy.Jeremy, however, was completely unfazed. He was like a blind man ignoring her performance. "Nope. Without Mr. Lennon's orders, you're staying tied up like this."Linda quickly changed her approach. "Oh, big guy, don't be like that!"Seeing Jeremy about to leave, she tried to lunge at him. However, with her hands tied, she could not grab onto him. Jeremy instinctively stepped aside, and Linda ended up falling flat onto the ground with a loud thud."Oh, my chest! My flat chest is going to cave in!" Linda shouted, glari

Jeremy's laughter froze on his face, and his head started to throb as he stared at the girl before him. "You're so young. Why do you have to say such mean things?""If you don't like it, just cover your ears. I didn't ask you to listen!" Linda rolled her eyes. "Hey, what do you want with me anyway? I'm not worth your trouble. If you want my brother, go find him. Leave me out of it!"Linda yelled at Peter, but he ignored her and went into the room, giving Jeremy a knowing look. Linda's eyes bulged in disbelief as Peter left her there, shouting and finally bursting into tears. Still, Peter did not come back out.Jeremy massaged his forehead. He would not have let Linda be if he had not heard Peter call her Ms. Holt and guessed she might be connected to the Holt family, especially since she mentioned her brother. He sighed and looked at her. "Listen, young lady, Mr. Lennon isn't going to bother with you.""Mr. Lennon? Who cares about Mr. Lennon? Pah!" Linda was too angry to care. "Jus

"If you won't lead me to Saxon, then you're coming with me!"With that, Peter grabbed Linda, restrained her, and tied her up in the vehicle.Linda felt like crying, but no tears came. On the other hand, Peter did not seem to care about being gentle or kind. He gave Linda a quick look, then grabbed the cloth bag she was holding and tossed it to the ground."Hey! That's everything to me! You... You..."Before Linda could say more, Peter covered her mouth. "Ms. Holt, if you won't lead me to Mr. Holt, then you'll just have to come with me.""Go?" Where were they going?Linda's mouth was covered, and she could barely make a sound.Peter tied Linda up good and tight, then casually picked up a cigarette and held it between his fingers, looking at Linda with interest. "The Holt family just lost a daughter. What do you think they'll do?"Linda's eyes went wide. She could not believe this man could be so low and vile.Peter saw the look in her eyes. He tapped his finger on the window si

Linda had that idea to study the same thing as Saxon and prove she was just as good, if not better. However, things did not go as planned. She had been waiting for a group of people, and when they finally showed up, they were all killed.Stuck with no other choice, Linda started to examine the bodies. What she did not expect was that someone would notice her so quickly. She had worked so hard on her disguise. How could that man see through it right away?Linda felt like crying but had no tears left. "Listen, mister, there are so many people you could catch, why are you after me?"She scratched her head, on the brink of a meltdown. "I can't let my brother find out I'm here, or I'm dead!"There was no way she could bring Peter to Saxon, she would be in big trouble if she did.Peter had finally found someone connected to Saxon, and he was not about to let her slip away that easily. "Do you know how to heal?"Linda eyed Peter warily, unsure of his intentions. Peter was amused by her

The kid shivered when he saw Peter's piercing eyes. "I don't know where he is!""You're lying!" Peter said, spinning a scalpel in his hand with a smile that did not reach his cold eyes. "If you don't take me, let's see if you can run faster than my knife can fly!"Peter pretended to throw the knife at the kid, who shook with fear and quickly gave in. "I'll take you!"Peter raised an eyebrow and put the knife away. "Move it!"The kid did not know who Peter was, but after seeing what he could do, he did not dare say no. "Not just anyone can meet Mr. Holt!""Oh, really?""Yes!""Where are you from, sir?" the kid asked Peter in Spanyric."Zyphonia!" Peter answered, then looked at the kid and said, "You've been hiding behind that mask for a long time. Isn't it time to take it off?"Surprised, the kid did not react fast enough, and Peter quickly pulled off the mask, revealing a young and innocent face underneath.She had a soft and detailed face, like that of a girl around fifteen

Peter covered his mouth with a handkerchief, crouched down, and with his trusty military knife, he flipped over a body to take a closer look. To his surprise, he found some strange marks on the body, like a secret code.He squinted his eyes and checked the other bodies. They all had the same mysterious marks.With a chill in his gaze, Peter stood up, cleaned off his knife, and hopped into his car. He followed the path the kid had taken just moments before.Bodies were everywhere, and only a few people were still alive. Most were in shock, and some were rescue workers.However, Peter's sharp eyes quickly spotted a group of people and zeroed in on the kid. Something told Peter that the kid was in trouble. He got out of the car fast and followed the kid's tracks.That kid was no regular Joe. He knew he was being followed after just a few hundred feet and started dodging through the town littered with bodies.Peter's smile grew. He was getting more and more curious about that little

"I know, but Noelle, I had no other way. He put a virus in you. Do you understand what that means?" Charles's piercing eyes softened a bit. "You know I couldn't just do nothing. I couldn't stand to see you in pain!""But my sister is innocent too!" Noelle inhaled deeply. "What if that man didn't care about my sister? Isn't doing this like throwing her into a fire?" Noelle could barely imagine what had become of Kelly then.Noelle had seen that man before, and she knew just how harsh and mean he could be. They had only talked for a little bit, and she did not really get to know him, but she could tell he was the type of person who would do anything to get what he wanted.He was the kind of guy who would put a virus in people like Tania and Bran, and even in women and kids like her. Noelle was scared to think about what he might do to her sister, Kelly."Noelle, you've got to believe me!" Charles pleaded.However, Noelle shook her head. "It's not that I don't believe you. It's just.

Kelly was gone. The day after she vanished, little Seth cried his heart out because he could not see her. Tania and Nancy tried everything to calm him down, but nothing worked. They had no choice but to tell Charles about the situation.Noelle and Kelly could have been twins. They were so alike. That was why everyone thought it would be a good idea for Seth to meet Noelle. However, Charles was dead set against it, and nobody had ever seen him so stubborn.Nancy and Clarisse were in the dark about the whole thing, but Tania knew the score. There had not been a peep from Peter lately, and Tania was getting worried that something bad had happened.That day, Tania and Bran headed to the hospital. Charles had moved all his work there, and Ronald was dealing with everything, big and small, right in the hospital.Charles kept Noelle out of the loop, though. She figured she was just there because they had not gotten her sickness under control yet. She knew she had a virus, so she went alon

"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
