Noelle pulled a wry smile. "I'm not nervous, just feeling a tad awkward!""What's the burning question everyone's dying to know?" Steven chimed in. "Sean, you're up!""Okay, here goes!" Sean clapped his hands together, touched his nose, and beamed innocently. "Where was your first time with Charles, and how long did it last?"Noelle gasped, her smile turning strained.It was not just Noelle. Everyone else sucked in a breath too, giving Sean looks that were part admiration, part 'good luck with that.' With a mischievous grin, Sean prodded, "Come on, Noelle, spill the beans!""Um... I'll take a drink!" Noelle reached for her glass, but Charles held it down. "As for duration, how about we see how long you can last if I start throwing punches?"Sean was speechless.Laughter soon filled the room.Even Bob could not resist a chuckle, giving Sean a knowing shake of his head."That's not fair, you can't answer for her!" Sean protested. "Besides, talk is cheap. You say you're all that,

Sean's eyes darted around, but honestly, he could not stomach the thought of kissing any of them. Steven was out of the question, and as for Peter, Sean was sure that if he even tried, Peter would lay him out flat. That left his cousin Bob, and then Yoel and Gerald.Sean propped his face in his hand, torn between a laugh and a sob. "Can I just opt for death instead?""No can do," came the reply. "You're the one who wanted to play this game. You can't bail now! How are you going to show your face around Brookville after this?"Sean could not even fake a smile. "Come on, Noelle, I get it, I messed up. Can't we just call it even? Please pick someone else, I just can't do it!" Kissing any of them felt like the ultimate no-no.He peeked at Bob, but Bob's glare was scary, so Sean quickly nixed that idea. Then there was Yoel, but that was just as unbearable. Peter and Steven were definite no-gos."What if I just stand up and belt out a tune for you, huh?""No way!" Noelle said with mock

Steven leaned against the railing in the hallway, looking up at Bob standing at the top of the stairs. Despite their height difference, Steven's presence was in no way diminished.He narrowed his eyes slightly, a cool smile flickering in their depths. "I'm not sure I understand what you mean by that, Mr. Andy," Steven said.Bob's gaze turned sharp. "Mr. Fischer, you should know that Sean is still just a brat. There are some things he shouldn't know, and others he shouldn't do.""It seems you care a lot about Sean, Mr. Andy. Similarly, I care about him too," Steven replied in an even tone. "I won't involve him in certain matters. You can rest assured of that."Hearing this, Bob's brows remained furrowed, not relaxing in the slightest. "Then why are you back this time?""To see old friends," Steven smirked. "If I were here for that matter, do you think I'd come to Brookville instead of Cascade City?""Whatever you plan on doing, I can't stop you, Mr. Fischer. My only request is tha

"I'll head downstairs to rest now," said Eloise."Okay." Steven did not even bother to look up. Only after Eloise left did he slide his hands into his pockets, his dark eyes shining brightly in the night.He stood by the window, gazing out at the desolate view with his brows slightly furrowed. It had been so many years since he last returned, and it seemed that much had changed, including the people.After drinking too much alcohol that evening, Charles, though appearing to behave himself, ended up being quite a challenge for Noelle.Both of them disliked having outsiders in their homes, so even after getting married, they maintained their habit of not having any household staff around.Noelle usually did not mind, but tonight, taking care of a drunk Charles by herself was proving exhausting.She finally managed to get Charles out of his clothes, but then came the dilemma of how to drag him to the bathroom.After weighing her options, Noelle decided to fetch a basin and water to

"If you keep this up, I'll really get mad—mmph!" Noelle's protest was completely silenced as Charles covered her lips with his own. His agile tongue traced the edges of her lips, not in a weak way but with a touch of sweetness.Charles indeed had a way of making her lose control; even just a kiss sped up Noelle's heartbeat, making her feel as if her body was no longer hers. "Charlie, I...""Shh. Let me take care of you this time."That turned into two hours of activity, leaving Noelle utterly exhausted and nearly rolling her eyes in disbelief.She silently cursed Charles for being such a brute, not sparing her even a little. While Noelle lay there, worn out, Charles looked completely satisfied, like someone who had just feasted well. Seeing Noelle so drained, he felt a pang of tenderness and brushed the damp hair from her forehead behind her ear, then leaned down to kiss the corner of her lips. "Want a bath?""No, I'm too tired!" Noelle mumbled, unable to even open her eyes. "Do

"You… You…" Noelle's face flushed instantly, especially hearing Charles so shamelessly say such things. She was at a loss for words. "You're so shameless!"Charles just laughed, setting down the documents in his hand. His long fingers brushed against his chin thoughtfully before he said, "How is it shameless? I'm speaking the truth. Nelly, we're married; talking about these things is perfectly normal. Or are you feeling shy?"Noelle pursed her lips. "How did I not notice you were like this before?" She remembered when she first met him, with his serious face and seemingly upright demeanor. Who would have thought that he would show his true colors after marriage?Charles squinted his eyes and chuckled. There was a touch of helplessness in his expression.Since Noelle refused to come over, he walked up to her instead and gently took her hand. His broad palm enveloped Noelle's small, delicate hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Your hand is a bit cold. It's winter now; you should keep

"Thank you, Charlie!""One meal was all it took to win you over?" Charles raised an eyebrow.He sipped his soup leisurely, his innate aristocratic air making even a simple, everyday meal appear elegant and refined.By contrast, Noelle seemed a bit more disheveled. She was genuinely starving—she had not eaten much before they went out the previous night, and she had a drink. After such an energy-draining night, Noelle was famished.If she had not been too tired to get up in the morning, there was no way she would have waited this long to eat breakfast."By the way, Charlie, are you heading out today?""Probably not." Charles set down his soup platter. "Do you want to go out?"Noelle shook her head. "No, I don't. I'm too tired!" She didn't feel like taking a single step or moving at all.Charles chuckled. "Are you full?"Noelle nodded. "I'm full." She had already eaten three slices of toast and two bowls of soup; if she did not feel full after that, she was definitely on her way

"Alright, I'll ask Aunt Nancy first." Charles then hung up the phone.Noelle noticed his serious expression as she entered from the garden. "What's wrong? Is it something troublesome? From work?""No, nothing to worry about." Charles reached out and gently patted Noelle's head. "It's Mr. Fischer.""What happened to Steven?" Noelle raised an eyebrow. "Wasn't everything fine with him last night?""He's fine, but he wants to see someone," Charles said, holding Noelle's hand as they walked to the living room. "Are you feeling better now?"Noelle raised an eyebrow, smiling. "How did you know I was feeling unwell earlier?""I could tell. You ate so much in one go; can your little stomach handle it?" Charles playfully tapped Noelle's nose. "No more overeating from now on.""Got it. But it's because you made everything so delicious." Noelle grumbled. "Don't change the subject. Who does Steven want to meet? Does it have something to do with you? You seemed a bit off—was it difficult to a

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
