This was the Hoffman residence, their territory. It was a place where even she had to show some restraint and caution. To see Janet throwing tantrums here again and again was beyond Clarisse's patience. "Can you control your temper?" Clarisse approached, glancing at the shattered antique vase on the floor with frustration."What did I tell you back in Capiton? You promised to behave, didn't you?""Aunt Clary, I…" Janet's fury vanished instantly. She now looked at Clarisse with teary eyes, appearing almost pitiful. "It's because of that woman, Winter. How dare she provoke me? Who does she think she is, treating me like this? Aunt Clary, Winter is shameless, but Charles is mine.""Enough!" Clarisse massaged her temples, feeling a headache coming on. "What exactly did Winter say to you? Did she call you?"How could she have even gotten your number? Are you telling me she just decided to call and confront you out of nowhere?""I…" Janet bit her lip. "It was me. I was the one who cal

"Janet!" Clarisse hurried after her, but seeing Janet retreating into her own little world, Clarisse did not dare to get too close.Instead, she discreetly took a photo of Janet's current state and sent it to Milo, who was far away in Capiton.After finally calming Janet down, Clarisse felt a slight sense of relief. Once Janet was settled, she called Milo. "You'll need to send over some more medication."Milo had just landed when he saw the photo of Janet in her manic state, which caused him to sigh in frustration. "I'll have my secretary send the medicine, but make sure you administer it to Janet discreetly.""Alright," Clarisse agreed, realizing it was the only option left. She had no other means of handling Janet's volatile behavior. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now.""Clarisse," Milo called out, his tone weary. "You've always taken care of Janet, practically raising her yourself. Please continue to look after her. She's not inherently bad; she's just overly obsessed

Consequently, his plans to do anything in Brookville were urgently suspended.Meanwhile, Janet, who could no longer tolerate Winter's existence, had been persistently causing trouble for her online. She was digging up as much dirt as she could find.However, no matter how much trouble Janet stirred up for Winter, Charles would resolve it. Eventually, Janet reached a point of near madness and directly started harassing Winter, just as Charles had predicted.Amidst all this chaos came the much-anticipated movie premiere of Unchallenged Dominion. Rumors spread that Charles would be attending the event personally, causing a frenzy of excitement.In Brookville, Charles was a name that held immense power and influence.

"Alright, it's almost ready!" Suzy quickly pulled Winter up. "Hurry, go change! The male and female leads will go in first, and you're next."As she spoke, she noticed a hint of stiffness in Winter's expression. Suzy hastily added, "Winter, you're still young and have a lot going for you. The role of the second female lead is the highlight of this film. I believe this opportunity will take your career to the next level.""Okay," Winter nodded. "Hand me the outfit, I'll change now!"...In the president's office at the Collosus building, Charles was still reviewing documents while Ronald waited outside.Becky was growing increasingly anxious and said, "Mr. Wells, they've already sent someone to rush us. The press conference is about to start, but Mr. Hoffman isn't done yet!"As she spoke, her phone started ringing again. Ronald glanced at Becky, his demeanor unruffled. "You've been by Mr. Hoffman's side long enough. Haven't you picked up even a bit of his composure? Stay calm."R

"What happened?" Ronald asked as he glanced at Charles, who was seated in the back. The voice on the other end continued, "Ms. Shaw's dress was tampered with, and no one knows who did it. The press conference turned chaotic as soon as it began, and now, it's out of control."Ronald raised an eyebrow, not entirely surprised that things had gone exactly as he had anticipated.Since Ronald had put the call on speaker, Charles heard everything. A shadow crossed his face and his expression turned cold, but a faint smirk played on his lips. "Tell them to keep the situation under control," he ordered."You need to control the situation there. Mr. Hoffman will be there soon," Ronald said before ending the call. He turned to Charles. "Mr. Hoffman, you didn't need to come here yourself today."Charles simply raised his hand. "Drive faster."Ten minutes later, Charles arrived at the scene of the press conference. The chaos had somewhat subsided, and Winter had already been taken to the hospi

Ronald followed Charles out. "Mr. Hoffman, where are we heading now?""The hospital, to check on Winter," Charles replied, catching a glimpse of a few people lingering suspiciously at the hotel entrance.He arched his brow slightly, appearing cold and sharp. To someone who did not know him, it might have seemed like he was smiling, but Ronald knew this expression meant Charles was clearly upset. "We're about to put on quite a show," Charles added.Winter's allergic reaction was not severe, but for an actress, it was devastating. It would likely take several weeks before she could work again.At the hospital, Winter was shouting angrily, threatening to tear the place apart if the doctors could not fix her face.Sean leaned against the door outside, listening to the doctors struggling to deal with Winter's demands. He smirked slightly and motioned to a nurse."Mr. Smith, is there something you need?" The young nurse's heart fluttered when she saw Sean's playful demeanor, her face t

Charles quickly went into the kitchen and started cooking. Noelle finished work right on time at 6:00 pm and got home around 6:40 pm.As soon as she stepped inside, a delicious aroma filled the air. Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took off her shoes before entering the house. "Charlie?"Leaning against the doorway, Noelle saw Charles wearing an apron. He was busy in the kitchen. There was a look of surprise in her eyes. "Why are you home so early today?"In truth, Noelle wanted to ask him about the movie's press conference. How did he manage to come back this early?While holding a ladle in one hand and wiping his other hand on the apron, Charles turned to look at her. "You're back? Go wash your hands. Dinner will be ready soon."Noelle sniffed the air. "You made stew? What kind?""Pork stew," Charles replied while gesturing. "Hurry, go wash up!""Okay!" Noelle laughed and went to wash her hands. However, she could not help glancing back at him, curiosity evident on her face.

Meanwhile, Winter's face did not show any improvement, and she stayed in the hospital for about a week. During that week, the situation involving Winter and Janet stirred up a lot of noise online.The media outlets, all managed by Ronald, knew exactly what to say and what to avoid. Meanwhile, the reporters hired by Janet at the event harshly criticized Winter, sparking outrage among Winter's fans.They flooded the reporters' social media accounts and websites with angry comments. Janet's personal websites and information were also targeted, and she was quickly exposed.It was undeniable that the power of netizens was impressive. Within a week, the media narrative completely shifted. Initially, they criticized Winter, calling her shameless. Yet now, they were attacking Janet, labeling her as twisted and narrow-minded.Since the relationship between Charles and Winter was never confirmed, and Charles was not someone people dared to offend, discussions about him online were minimal.

"Let me go!""Is that Simon?" Yves stared at Kelly with icy eyes. "I can't believe you know someone from the York family!"Kelly heard that and shook her head like crazy. "No, I don't know any Simon. I really don't!""You don't know him? Then who just walked in, huh?" No one but Simon could get here, and nobody in the York family could find this place except Simon.Simon usually did not bother with such things, so Yves was puzzled why Simon would get involved. "He came for you, so why didn't you leave with him?"

As Kelly slipped into unconsciousness, she heard Simon's promise. "Next time, I'll take you with me!"Simon had barely finished speaking when a shadowy figure appeared, moving with lightning speed. Simon parried a few blows, but the attacker, wearing a silver mask, was relentless. With a frown, Simon dropped Kelly to the ground. The masked man caught her just in time, cradling her gently.When the man looked up again, Simon was gone. Beneath the mask, his face was dark and foreboding. He gazed down at the unconscious Kelly, holding her close and pressing her head to his chest as if she were a precious treasure. It was as if holding her was the only way to confirm she was really there.Kelly thought she had been dreaming, a really long dream where she tried to run away, but Yves was always right behind her, making it so she could not get away.

Simon was the surprised one now. His sly eyes took in Kelly, clearly amazed to find someone who bore such a striking resemblance to Noelle.He examined Kelly's face as if trying to figure something out. "You two look alike, but you have such different energies. Your personalities don't seem to match either. And..." His eyes dropped to Kelly's belly. "You're not expecting."Kelly was taken aback at first, but then she faced Simon with a question of her own. "Who are you? How do you know Noelle?"Simon chuckled. "I should ask you the same. Who might you be, and what brings you to this villa?"Kelly did not sense any harm from the stranger, but she did not care for the way Simon spoke. "I asked you first."Simon rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "How intriguing!"Kelly was getting annoyed. "Who are you, and what are you doing here?" She glanced outside and noticed a servant lying unconscious on the ground. "Did you do that?”Simon's eyebrow quirked up. "Yes!"Once Simon released her,

Kelly woke up and was surprised to see how late it was. She felt a little annoyed and said, "I'm going to change my clothes. You go down first, okay?"Once the servant had left, Kelly hurried to the bathroom to freshen up and get dressed. Then, she headed downstairs.Walking slowly, Kelly felt a sharp pain with each step, which made her wince. She glanced at the servant beside her, but he just kept looking forward, not noticing her discomfort. "Madam, your meal is ready," he said."Don't call me 'Madam’!" Kelly snapped. "Call me Ms. Anderson. I have nothing to do with your 'Sir’!"The servant gave her a strange look and repeated, "Madam, please."Kelly took a deep breath, trying to calm her anger. She knew arguing was pointless. The servant would not listen, so she let it go.After dinner, Kelly felt uneasy. She had not seen Yves for hours, and he did not show up at night either. That made her feel worried, though she could not quite pinpoint why.The night passed without any

Yves narrowed his eyes and snatched up his phone. When he saw the number, a dark shadow passed over his face."Hello?""Sir, the mission's a bust. None of our guys made it back!"Elon's voice crackled over the line. Yves' eyes flashed with a dangerous light. "Say that again.""Our team... They didn't come back."Elon's voice was heavy. "I'll take whatever punishment you've got, sir.""Why?" Yves demanded, his voice tight with anger. "I want to know why!”"It was Peter and Steven. They showed up fast. We almost had Linda, but they jumped in."Yves' glare turned icy. "You idiots!"That was supposed to be their perfect chance. After one failure, Peter would not let them get close again.If they could not get Linda...Yves' eyes locked onto Kelly's face. His grip on the phone grew fierce, his knuckles white. No one could guess what was storming inside Yves at that moment.Without Linda, the poison in Kelly...He should not have been so worried. The virus usually would not act

"Be good. I like it when you call me Yves," Yves whispered, kissing the corner of Kelly's eye, then her long, curled lashes. He felt her shiver in his arms, and he could not help but like it."Release me!""I won't!" Yves was feeling playful, and the frustration he had just calmed was flaring up again because of Kelly.He bent down and kissed her once more. Kelly's heart jumped. She thought Yves was done, but she was wrong...Kelly blushed with embarrassment. "Yves, remember that I hate you!""Go ahead and hate me. I'll still love you deeply," Yves replied, taking Kelly's hand and leading her toward the bathroom."You..." Kelly stared at Yves, appalled. "You're shameless!"Her voice shook with fury as she yelled at him, but Yves just smiled. "I'm only shameless for you."Kelly could not sleep a wink that night. Yves kept her awake until the first light of dawn, and she was so tired she could barely open her eyes when he finally stopped.Yves rose from the bed and looked down a

Stirred by the contact with Kelly, Yves felt a fire within him that he could not quench.

She twisted and turned, trying to escape, but her movements only fueled Yves's longing.When the kiss ended, Yves gently touched Kelly's reddened lips and whispered, "My dear, I know you've missed me too!"Kelly's heart raced as Yves spoke in a deep, rumbling voice that sent shivers down her spine. She tried to speak, but Yves's hand gently brushed against her, making her shudder. "Please, no," she whispered."No?" Yves's voice was soft as he teased, "You seem so intrigued, yet you say no?" He leaned closer, his breath tickling her

Sometimes, even when Yves was there, he would get so annoyed with their short chats that he would head straight to his study.Kelly did not know what Yves was really doing, but she could tell he was up to something scary. His looks alone were enough to frighten her.She had thought about running away these past few days, but with guards all around the villa and servants watching her every move, she had no chance. Even reaching out to the outside world seemed impossible.Other than eating and sleeping, Kelly's days were spent trying to outsmart Yves's people. However, they were too clever and always guessed her plans, and she never got the upper hand.Yves would often visit in the evenings, always wanting to share a room with Kelly. She said no more times than she could count, but Yves never listened. Eventually, Kelly stopped arguing.

Tania was aware that Peter had his reasons, and he did not hide them. "It's always good to have a backup plan," he admitted. Tania nodded, understanding completely.That was the smart move. If Linda could not heal the virus with her medical skills, and if Saxon turned out to be unreliable, then Bran, as Linda's student, would be their extra safety net.After playing with Bran for a while, Linda saw he was getting sleepy. She waved her finger under his nose, releasing a fine powder that helped him drift off to sleep.Linda glanced at Peter and Tania. "I didn't want him to be in pain, so I put him to sleep first. This powder is harmless, I promise!" After reassuring them, she gave Bran his shot.Half an hour later, Linda was sweating from the effort of administering the treatment."All done. The little champ needs his rest now!" Linda announced, then turned to Peter. "I've got to head to the hospital.""Sure thing! I'll drive you," Peter said, getting to his feet and gently squeezi
