“You…” Milo’s face turned crimson, and he nearly passed out from anger. He stared unblinking at Charles, his chest heaving as he said, “Charles, I am your uncle! Is this how you speak to your elders?” The corner of Charles’ lips curled upward, and the look in his eyes did not change either. He seemed cool as a cucumber and much calmer than Milo. Charles poured Milo another cup of tea and then pushed it toward him. “Don’t be angry, Uncle Milo. Have some tea to soothe your throat and calm yourself down. It would not do good to have your health suffer because of your temper!” Charles had maintained an attitude of not having a care in the world all this while. Milo held a powerful position, but he had never met anyone as rational as Charles during his previous negotiations. It was obvious the sort of people Charles spoke to were of a different kind to his. Others may have refrained from acting overly audacious before him to show him respect, but that was not the case for Charles, who

“But she didn’t volunteer to get sick. I had no choice myself all those years ago. Besides, Janet is perfectly fine now, and she’s not like her mother. I’ve cared for her for so many years, and have you ever seen her harm anyone?” Milo’s face was pale, and he looked like it was a secret of his that had been revealed. “Besides, you should know that Janet is a kind girl who never means anyone harm.” “Oh?” Charles raised an eyebrow, seemingly still unconvinced. “Either way, she’s still not someone I’d consider. If she’s a younger sister of mine, I’d take good care of her and ensure she never has to worry about her basic needs being met. However, if she harbors any ulterior motive, the Hoffman family would never approve of it, even if I didn’t express any opinion. You thought things to be simpler than they are,” Charles said as he got to his feet, directing his gaze downward to meet Milo’s eyes. “Treat this as a welcome gift from me to you, Uncle. If we ever get the chance to meet again,

“Yes. Milo Baker has been controlling Jace to prevent him from becoming overly powerful.” “Jace’s third uncle, Howard Baker, is also a pretty good piece in the game. You can think about how you would like to make your moves!” Charles said as he pulled his coat on. Then, he gazed at the sky and frowned slightly. "It’s going to rain soon.” Ronald was walking behind Charles and did not know what to say in response to Charles’ last sentence, which had come out of seemingly left field.” Charles, on the other hand, opened the door and got in. Then, he gazed at Ronald, who was still standing rooted at the spot. "Aren’t you going to get in?” “Yes, sir!” Ronald immediately got into the driver’s seat. “Where are we going now, Mr. Hoffman? The office?” “Yes!” Charles responded before he took his phone out and caught sight of the numerous texts he had received. They were all from Noelle, asking him how things were going and reminding him to keep warm because it was cold out. The last m

"A wedding ring?" Janice stared at Charles in astonishment, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Oh my god, Mr. Hoffman, you must be joking. Are you really getting married?"The news of Charles wanting to get married was not just surprising to Janice; it would be unbelievable to anyone.Who could ever imagine that Charles Hoffman, of all people, was planning a wedding?Charles raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression calm as he looked at Janice. He nodded. "Yes, I'm getting married. Is that so hard for you to believe?"He chuckled softly and continued, "Do you have any recommendations?"Janice was still in shock. "I certainly have recommendations. Every piece of jewelry here is one-of-a-kind. No one else will ever have the same piece."But Mr. Hoffman, I'm finding it hard to imagine you getting married. Could it be that the person is…" She hesitated, then her eyes widened as a thought struck her. "It wouldn't be that actress from the recent rumors, would it?"However, that did not s

Charles glanced at Ronald, who immediately came over and handed him a piece of paper and a pen. Charles quickly sketched a few letters on the paper and then passed it to Janice. "When can it be ready?" he asked.Janice paused for a moment. "When do you need it?""Before New Year's," Charles replied, glancing at his watch. "It's getting late. I'll wait for your good news.""Understood," Janice said with a smile, gesturing politely as she watched Charles leave with his usual composed stride.Narrowing her eyes, she looked down at the letters he had written—C&N. She wondered who this lucky woman was to be treated so thoughtfully by Charles.…Milo had a simple purpose for his visit to Brookville—to gauge Charles' intentions and to see how much tolerance Charles had for the situation. However, he had not expected their first encounter to be so tense. It seemed Charles was not interested in playing along or taking a softer approach this time.In the past, Charles might have turne

"What do you mean? Did you actually have a confrontation with Charlie?""I just..." Milo had not even finished his sentence when his phone rang. "What is it?" he snapped."Mr. Baker, the Sanders family from Harborpoint has decided to withdraw their investment. They said they're no longer considering a partnership," Milo's secretary reported from the other end.Milo froze, his eyes turning sharp. "What did you just say?""Jonathan Sanders himself said they won't be working with Baker Group this time." The secretary nervously gulped before continuing, "And there's more...""What else?" Milo demanded."Mr. Jace was photographed in Melcoon recently. Sir Baker is interrogating him now. Also, Baker Group's share price is plummeting. The chairman wants you to return immediately.""Jace Baker!" Milo seethed through gritted teeth, springing to his feet. "Book me a flight for this afternoon. I'm heading back right away!"After ending the call, Milo's expression turned even more severe. C

"But Milo...""No more buts. I don't have time to explain further, but you must understand that if we don't take the initiative now, we'll end up being the ones at a disadvantage!" Milo cut off Clarisse's protest."I need to leave immediately. You're in charge here now, but remember, don't touch Noelle for the time being.""Why not?" Clarisse asked, feeling that Noelle was a bigger threat than Winter, especially since Noelle's face bore such a striking resemblance to Kelly's."She's Andy Jones' girlfriend. Is that clear enough for you? If Baker Group wants to establish themselves in Cascade City in the future, we'll need to collaborate with the Jones family there. If we make a move against Andy's woman now, do you think he'll cooperate with us in the future? Don't forget, the Joneses and the Smiths will eventually be under Andy's control.""Andy!" Clarisse muttered, furrowing her brows together. "How could Noelle be Andy's girlfriend? Andy clearly...""It seems you've wasted your

Slut?Winter narrowed her eyes and glanced up at Suzy. Suzy shrugged and mouthed, "Janet."If Winter had not known it was her, she might have kept a civil tone.Nonetheless, Janet's rude attitude and choice of words only fueled her anger further. Coupled with everything Janet had done to suppress her before, Winter felt a mix of old and new grudges bubbling up. There was no way she would let this go."So, it's you, Ms. Baker. What's the matter? What do you want with me?" Winter sneered."Why do you have so much free time, Ms. Baker? Shouldn't you be chatting with Mr. Hoffman? Oh, wait, I get it—you probably can't see him even if you want to right now, can you?"Winter laughed as she spoke, a laugh that only seemed to further provoke Janet's anger."You filthy slut," Janet spat out. "Don't get too full of yourself. Let me tell you, do you really think Charles truly likes you? Stop dreaming. I'm warning you, stay away from him, or I won't be so kind!""Oh? And what exactly do you

"Wow, even when you insult me, you're adorable!" Linda exclaimed.Tania, Peter, and even Brandon were utterly speechless.The collective thought of the three was, 'This girl must have a few screws loose!'Tania was the first to recover, coughing lightly to break the awkwardness. "Um, the food is ready. Everyone must be hungry. Let's eat!"She asked Zara to clear the chessboard. At that moment, Jeremy came downstairs, saying, "Mr. Lennon, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now.""Wait!" Tania called out, stopping him. "Sit down and eat with us!"Jeremy looked startled, glancing between Tania and Peter. "That doesn't seem appropriate, Mrs. Lennon.""If she said sit, just sit," Peter interjected.With Peter's approval, Jeremy stopped hesitating. Zara quickly added another set of cutlery, and Jeremy joined them at the table."This is so delicious!" Linda exclaimed loudly. She had a habit of reacting in an exaggerated manner, something the family initially struggled to get

While Linda and Zara went upstairs, Peter headed into the kitchen to finish preparing the meal. Zara had already cooked most of it, so Peter only tidied up and added two more dishes. Meanwhile, Tania stayed in the living room, playing chess with Brandon.Even though Brandon was still young, his intelligence was remarkable—likely inherited from Peter. From a young age, Brandon had demonstrated abilities far beyond his peers. However, he rarely liked to show off and often concealed his talents at school.After playing a few rounds with Brandon, Tania looked up to see Peter walking out of the kitchen. He removed his apron, smiling lightly as he approached the two.Noticing how evenly matched Tania and Brandon were, Peter seemed surprised. "Brandon, your chess skills have improved a lot recently."His eyes narrowed slightly as he observed Brandon's moves. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened. "Who taught you this strategy?""Steven," Tania replied, lifting her head with a helpless smile. "W

Though Peter had voiced his concerns, he allowed Zara to proceed as she insisted.Zara carried Brandon inside, but seeing her strain slightly, Brandon spoke up, "Zara, I can walk by myself!""Brandon is such a good boy!" Zara praised him warmly, gently setting him down. "Mr. Peter, Ms. Tania, would you like to rest for a while? I'm in the middle of cooking, and the meal will be ready soon.""Wow, it's so big!"A crisp, youthful voice echoed through the villa, carrying a playful tone. "Mr. Jeremy, could you help bring in my luggage?"'Luggage' was a bit of an exaggeration. It was just a small bag Linda had impulsively bought before boarding the plane.Linda strolled into the villa as though she owned the place, casually wandering around with her bright eyes scrutinizing everything. She nodded approvingly. "Not bad, not bad at all. This is so much better than my house.""Mr. Peter, who is this?"Zara looked curiously at the young girl, especially surprised by how at ease Linda se

"It happened several years ago when I was handling a situation in Saint Angel. I just happened to save a little beggar," Peter explained casually, clearly never giving much thought to Linda.If Linda had not mentioned it, he would have long forgotten the incident.Tania nodded in understanding. "I see. That little girl seems to admire you quite a bit," she remarked with a smile.Peter's sharp, piercing eyes softened the moment they met Tania's. Hearing her words, he could not help but reach out and gently ruffle her hair. "What's this? Are you jealous?""Jealous? What even is that?" Tania huffed, feigning indignation."You think I'd get jealous over a teenage girl? Peter, you must be mistaken." She slapped his hand away with a playful glare. "That little girl looks like she's only 15 or 16! She's still a minor!"Peter glanced at the spot on his hand where she had swatted him, and a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.He sighed theatrically, "So, this is where I stand

Brandon wiggled in Peter's arms, pouting as he protested, "No way, Daddy! I missed you so much that I couldn't even eat properly. Daddy, feel my cheeks—they've lost all their chubby cuteness!"Peter smirked coldly and pinched Brandon's cheek. "You've gotten chubbier.""Daddy, if you keep saying that, I'm going to be mad!" Brandon huffed, crossing his arms in a dramatic show of anger."Alright, Daddy's had a long flight and must be tired," Tania interjected with a sigh. "Come here, sweetie. I'll carry you!"She reached out to take Brandon, but Peter shook his head. "I'll carry him."Though Brandon pretended to be upset, he was clearly delighted to be held by Peter. He grinned and asked, "Daddy, you've been away for so many days. Did you miss Mommy and me?""I did.""Oh my gosh!" Outside the car, Linda's jaw dropped as she stared through the window at the family. Jeremy held her by the collar like she was a disobedient puppy."Oh, my idol! How could you be so gentle? Is that your

"To save someone.""Save someone? I can do that too! My medical skills are exceptional, way better than my brother's!" Linda puffed up her chest confidently. "Leave it to me!""You?" Jeremy raised an eyebrow in disbelief. Looking at Linda, who seemed no older than 16. She hardly looked like someone with any medical expertise.Peter, however, took her words seriously and gave Linda a closer look. "You're saying you know medicine?""Of course, I do! Didn't you see what I was doing yesterday? I was extracting viruses from those people. Don't think the Holts only have my brother, Saxon, as their star! I'm great too!""Fine. If that's the case, you'll come back to the country with me," Peter replied without a trace of doubt.Peter did not question Linda's claims. After all, the Holts were a family of renowned medical practitioners. It was not surprising that Linda would possess such skills.Since Saxon could not be located, bringing Linda back seemed like a sensible plan. Her skills

Linda's wide eyes sparkled with admiration as she stared at Peter, her face full of awe. "Peter, you're amazing! You're even better than my brother!"Peter frowned, his expression as cold as ice as he looked at Linda.Jeremy slapped his forehead, thinking to himself, 'This girl must be an idiot!'Of course, he did not dare say it out loud. Instead, he held back his laughter and glanced at Peter.He had wanted to warn Peter earlier that this Linda girl was not normal. Ever since she learned Peter's identity the day before, she had been acting completely out of the ordinary."Ms. Holt, I'll need you to come back to the country with me," Peter said flatly."Okay, sure!" Linda immediately jumped to her feet. "Peter, wherever you go, I'll follow. You don't have to worry. If you tell me to do something, I won't even have other thoughts!"Peter was utterly baffled."You really must be an idiot." Peter's words were sharp and unfiltered.Tania had experienced Peter's sharp tongue first

Now that they had Linda as leverage, Saxon would undoubtedly come. Even if Saxon did not show up, someone from the Holts certainly would.As the only girl among the Holts' younger generation, Linda was extraordinarily pampered. It was said that the Holts spoiled her to the heavens. Otherwise, how could Linda have dared to come to a war-torn place like Francoria on her own?Peter truly had no qualms. Despite Linda being just a girl, he had gone so far as to tie her up.…The next day, when Jeremy went to check on Linda, he found her with her hands still tied behind her back.Surprisingly, she was not struggling. Instead, she lay on the bed like a log, completely motionless. She did not even notice Jeremy entering the room.The truth was that Linda had been utterly exhausted. Since arriving in Francoria, she had been constantly on edge and was unable to relax. While she might be a member of the Holts, no one cared about your family name in a war zone.Linda valued her life and had

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
