"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

Peter said he knew nothing about such feelings, but he knew better than anyone—he had waited a year—no, ten years—and he had endured it all.Charles reached out and patted Peter's shoulder. "In that case, hurry up and get the West City project done for me. After that, whatever you do with Lennon Group is none of my business."Peter smiled faintly. He brushed Charles' hand off his shoulder and stood up. The two equally formidable men faced each other, neither losing ground. "You've got it all planned out, haven't you? The West City project won't be finished in a year or two. Are you trying to delay Tania's return?"Charles narrowed his eyes. "Or maybe you've got a better plan? Do you even know where Tania is now?"Peter pressed his lips together. "Charles, if you ever fall into my hands, I'll make sure you experience what this feels like!"Charles smirked. "We'll see when that day comes." He then asked, "How's the investigation I asked you to do last time?"Peter raised an eyebr

"What more do you want? I've only been investigating for a short time, so there isn't much information yet. If you really want answers, you might be better off digging into Sebastian or Samuel directly; it could be faster!" Peter explained that this was all he knew and did not have much more to offer.Charles furrowed his brows. This matter was indeed difficult to handle. With so many years gone by, finding any clues would not be easy.Not to mention, if someone was deliberately hiding the truth, uncovering it would be even harder."Jade and Sebastian's relationship doesn't seem very good." Charles recalled that when Sebastian had been his student, he had actually seen Jade a few times.However, Jade likely did not recognize him back then and certainly had not paid him any attention. "For your next steps, start with Sebastian and Jade.""Alright! I'll give it a try!" Peter shrugged. "Fancy a game?"…Meanwhile, Noelle's group was engaged in a lively conversation. Brian and Georg

George had heard of Saltgrass House for a long time. A few years ago, he had planned to visit, but he had to rush back due to time constraints. This time, George was clearly pleased to be able to make it here."Charles, your wife is truly very considerate," George remarked.Noelle and Teresa walked ahead. The owner of Saltgrass House, who recognized Charles, hurried over to greet them.Seeing that Charles seemed engaged in conversation, Noelle stepped forward to greet the owner first, "Hello, we have a reservation for Celino Room.""Oh, Ms. Shaw, correct?""Yes." Noelle gave a polite smile. "Please lead the way.""Right this way, Ms. Shaw."The group reached Celino Room, where Noelle went in first to arrange the seating. Charles and the others followed leisurely. Hearing George praise Noelle, Charles smiled warmly. "Thank you, Mr. Click."By the way, earlier, Brian and I were discussing the West City project. Brian mentioned that the situation this time is a bit complicated?"

Charles smirked and gently tapped Noelle on the nose. "If you make it this obvious, aren't you worried your friend will feel awkward?""Was it that obvious?" Noelle blinked. "I'm just trying to do something nice for them. Teresa is a great girl, and I think my mentor has a pretty decent character. He seems to have a good impression of Teresa too!""That's not necessarily true." Charles remained neutral. "Matters of the heart are best understood by those involved. You should stay out of it.""I'm not meddling! I just noticed they seemed interested in each other, so I thought I'd help them along. Even if they don't end up together, at least they got to know each other." Noelle chuckled. "By the way, how did your talk with Peter go today?""Not bad."Noelle held the water bottle up to Charles' lips. Charles glanced at her, catching the mischievous glint in her eyes. He shook his head in resignation but still took a sip."Didn't you say yesterday that you had Mr. Wells deal with Wint

Suzy quickly pulled the young assistant away. Once the assistant was steadied, Suzy whispered a few words to her, and the assistant ran off with tears in her eyes.Winter was about to lash out, but when she saw that it was Suzy, her anger found no outlet. She could only glare at Suzy. "What do you think you're doing?""I should be asking you that!" Suzy said as she poured another cup of water for Winter, subtly gesturing for Winter to look around."This is a film set. All these eyes are on you. You're a big star now, constantly under scrutiny. The issue with Ethel from the other day hasn't even fully blown over yet. Do you really want to give people more ammunition against you?"Suzy handed the water to Winter. "If you don't like the assistant, I can get rid of her—as I've already told you. I'm here with you now, and I can handle these things!" Suzy continued, trying to calm Winter down.As it was Suzy talking, Winter listened because she felt guilty toward her. Winter reflected o

As for Winter, Jane really did not have the time or inclination to deal with her anymore; she just hoped Winter would stay out of trouble.The next day, Winter directly paid off the young assistant and sent her away, leaving Suzy as Winter's sole assistant."Suzy, isn't it a bit beneath you to be my assistant?" Winter asked, knowing full well that Suzy came from a wealthy family and did not need to be working as her assistant. Even so, Winter thrived on the feeling of superiority. Having Suzy, who was on the same level as her, working for her fueled her vanity.Suzy squinted slightly, inwardly sneering but outwardly maintaining her smile. "Not at all. Ever since I started working with you, I've found peace of mind. I just want to focus on my job now and try not to think about anything else."Suzy handed Winter a towel. "Wipe your sweat first. You'll need to get your makeup done soon, and while you're getting your makeup done, we can run lines together. That way, you'll be ready w

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
