Charles drove onto the highway, then took an exit, heading in the direction of Homestyle Garden House.Noticing the route, Noelle asked, "We're going to...""Homestyle Garden House," Charles replied.Noelle nodded, turning to Nancy. "Aunt Nancy, did you know that Homestyle Garden House is a garden house I co-own with a close friend? Would you like to stop by for a visit?""Sure!" Nancy smiled. "A garden house? What made you decide to open one?""It's just a hobby. My grandfather taught me how to make tea when I was young, and my friend happens to love tea as well."Before long, they arrived at Homestyle Garden House. Noelle helped Nancy out of the car, with Charles following closely behind.Teresa, who had just been chatting with Noelle in their group chat minutes ago, was surprised to see her walk through the door. She raised an eyebrow at the sight of the elegant woman accompanying Noelle. "Noelle, who's this?""This is Aunt Nancy. She's Charlie's uncle's wife," Noelle introd

Nancy nodded. "Your grandfather has a good eye." Although she had never met Sebastian in person, she had heard of him many times, especially because he was Charles' mentor and had a profound influence on him.She glanced at Charles, who raised an eyebrow and smiled. He then took the teaware from Noelle, carefully rinsing the pieces."Yes, his taste is truly impeccable," he said.Noelle chuckled. "Why do I feel like you're bragging?"Charles gave a soft laugh. "Whatever you say goes."Nancy and Teresa shared a laugh at that.Suddenly, footsteps echoed outside, approaching the room.Noelle tilted her head in curiosity and looked at Charles just as a knock sounded on the door. She gave Charles a questioning glance. He stood up calmly, walked to the door, and opened it.Standing tall in the doorway was a man. Though he seemed to have come in a rush, he looked composed without a trace of disarray. The usual intensity that clung to him was noticeably absent.Noelle was not surprised

Charles gave Peter a reassuring pat on the shoulder before allowing him to enter.Once inside, Peter found a seat and sat down. "Mom."Nancy's expression shifted. "Mr. Lennon, it would be better if you just called me Ms. Nancy," she replied calmly. The way he had initially addressed her as "Mom" clearly made her uncomfortable.However, her composure kept her from voicing anything harsher. "Go ahead. Tell me what brings you here today. Since you managed to persuade Charlie, it must be quite important."Peter nodded, accepting the teacup that Noelle handed him. He gave a polite nod. "Yes, Ms. Nancy. I asked to meet you today because of Tania."At the mention of Tania, Nancy's hand trembled slightly as she pressed her lips together.Her face clouded with unease as she stared at Peter. "You and Tania ended things three years ago. I remember you two divorced.""No, we didn't get a divorce," Peter said, his tone urgent but measured out of respect for Nancy's position.His words start

Peter had spent his life accustomed to solitude, embracing cold independence. However, from the moment he met Tania, he could not imagine being apart from her. Leaving her was never an option.Nancy frowned. "So, you're here to ask me to bring Tania back?"As a daughter raised in the Naylor family, Nancy was sharp and perceptive. She did not miss much.Peter nodded. "It's been three years. I've been searching for Tania all this while, but she won't see me. Even with all the connections I've used, I haven't been able to find her. You're her mother. Surely, you...""Have you ever considered that maybe Tania doesn't want to be found?" Nancy's voice was calm but piercing.Peter's hand trembled slightly, and a flicker of discomfort crossed his gaze.This man, who had always carried himself with pride and certainty, now faced a dilemma for which he had no answer to and no clear path forward.Throughout his 30-plus years, Peter had always lived with the belief that he could achieve any

Charles nodded. "I know. I've thought it through. When have I ever been careless?"Nancy gave a small nod. "But your Uncle Henry…""As long as you agree, Aunt Nancy, I can handle Uncle Henry," Charles replied. He was not in a rush to find Tania right away. "Peter is my good friend. You know me—my circle of friends is small. If I'm willing to help, it's because Peter deserves it."Aunt Nancy, I know a bit about what happened back then. There was more to it than met the eye. And over the past three years, it's not just Peter who has been looking for Tania. I've been searching too.""What?" Nancy looked startled. "You've been searching for Tania as well?"Charles gave a confirming nod, then glanced at Noelle. Noelle blinked in surprise. "What is it?""The documents I gave you before we left," Charles reminded her."Oh!" Noelle exclaimed, realizing what he meant. "Hold on a second!"She hurried over to a chair, grabbed her bag, and rummaged through it. Pulling out the documents Cha

This matter was not something that could be resolved in an instant. However, Charles was now certain—based on Nancy's reaction—that she wasn't entirely heartless toward Peter.The next step would be dealing with Henry. If Henry had no objections, Charles had more than enough means to bring Tania back.Ideally, Charles wished Tania would not need to return. But if someone truly intended to use her as a pawn, then her situation was far too dangerous.Apart from her parents, the only person who truly cared for and could protect Tania was Peter."Aunt Nancy, I'll handle this matter thoroughly. You don't need to worry about Tania's safety," Charles assured her. His promise meant Tania would not come to harm.Nancy nodded. "I'll think it over.""There's no rush, Aunt Nancy. Shall we head back now?""Yes, let's. I already told your Uncle Henry I'd stay at Phoenix Tree Residence for a couple of days, and he agreed."Hearing this, Noelle exhaled in relief. She had worried earlier that N

Charles' gaze darkened, his entire demeanor radiating coldness. "You can try.""Do you think I won't? Bring that woman here right now! I want to see for myself what makes her so special—or is it just that you can't let her go?" Maxwell barked through the phone, his anger palpable.Charles ended the call and looked up at Noelle and Nancy.Sensing something was off, Noelle asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen at the company, or is it the Hoffmans?""It's nothing. Just a minor issue," Charles replied calmly, though his tone hinted otherwise.He turned to Nancy. "Aunt Nancy, I need to head back to the residence for a bit. Would you and Nelly be alright going home on your own?"Nancy instantly grasped the situation and glanced at Noelle before nodding. "Yes, that's fine. I'm feeling a bit tired anyway and could use some rest.""Good. I'll have Ronald come and take you back shortly," Charles said."There's no need, Charlie. Just go handle what you need to. I can ta

"What do you mean by that?" Maxwell frowned deeply.Charles remained composed. "It's nothing complicated. It's just that I've been your grandson for more than 30 years, yet you still don't understand what I want. Whether or not she's Kelly doesn't matter. What matters is that she's mine. There's no comparison between them. Kelly has never measured up to her.""Y-You're deliberately trying to anger me, aren't you?" Maxwell's expression darkened with rage. "What's so special about that woman? All she has is a face identical to Kelly's. You can have any woman you want. Plenty of daughters from respected families are a perfect match for you. Noelle's family… She's not worthy of you at all.""You're right about being unworthy. I'm the one unworthy of her," Charles interrupted calmly."You…" Maxwell's anger rose further, and he was unable to find the words to say."Is this the only reason you summoned me here today? To have dug into Nelly's background so quickly, it seems you're very

"Alright. Have fun with your friends, and don't come home too late," Sean said before hanging up. Liliana's heart started to beat faster for some reason, and she could still hear Sean's voice in her ears, as if he were right there with her.She kept staring at Sean, who was still standing there. It looked like a girl had walked up to him.Liliana could not see very clearly, but she could see a girl in a pink dress with long hair standing next to Sean. She did not catch what they were saying, but Sean looked really happy.Suddenly, Liliana felt a soft pain, a sharp twinge in her heart.It was so quick and elusive that she could not figure out what she was feeling."What's wrong?" Tania asked, noticing Liliana seemed upset after her phone call. She kept staring into space. Tania looked around but saw nothing. She waved her hand in front of Liliana's face. "Liliana?"Liliana came back to the present with a forced smile. "Tania, didn't you say you'd take me out for a big birthday din

Tania's face went pale when she heard that. "No way!"Tania was still young and did not really get all that lovey-dovey stuff. She just thought Brian was nicer to her than her other friends. With a puzzled look, Tania scratched her head. "Maybe he just thinks I'm... cute?"Liliana shook her head. "Don’t you know? Him giving you a watch means he likes you.""Really?" Tania jumped. "Liliana, you're not joking, right? I'm just a kid, and I've always seen him as a big brother." Suddenly, the watch felt like a hot potato in Tania's hands, and she quickly snapped it shut. "What should I do now?"Liliana threw up her hands. "I have no idea!"She had never been in this kind of situation before and did not know what to do."So..."Tania did not get to finish because Liliana's phone started ringing. She stopped, pulled out her phone, and looked at the caller ID with a surprised face. With Tania watching, she answered, "Hello?"Sean was on the line, frowning. He asked, "Are you at the Wor

"Brian? You're back?" Tania paused, smiling at Brian. "What brings you home today?"If Tania was not mistaken, was Brian not supposed to be at college in another town?Brian's heart raced as Tania spoke, and his cheeks flushed a light pink. He looked at her and said, "Um... I actually got back a few days ago.""Oh, was it something urgent?" Tania asked, nodding without suspicion.Brian felt his pulse quicken. "Um... I heard today's your birthday?"Tania paused, then cocked her head and smiled at Brian. "Yes. I'm surprised you remembered my birthday!""Happy Birthday!" Brian blurted out. He pulled out a box from behind and handed it to her. "For you."Tania took the box, a little unsure at first, but quickly smiled. "Thanks so much, Brian!"Seeing Tania's sweet smile, Brian's heart skipped a beat, his rhythm all over the place. "No problem!""I've got to go now, Brian." Tania waved, tucked Brian's gift into her bag, and hopped away with a spring in her step.Liliana had arrang

"Mom, why do you treat her so well?" Layla asked with a frown as Liliana headed for the door.Nancy's face turned stern. "What have I taught you? Liliana is your sister. You shouldn't talk to her that way.""She's not my sister. She's just...""That's enough!" Nancy snapped, cutting Layla off. "I'll let it go this time because it's your birthday, but if you do it again, don't expect me to be so kind."Liliana slipped on her shoes, let out a small smile at Nancy's words, and walked out the door.Once outside, Liliana called Tania. "Tania, I'm on my way out. Where are you?""Oh, I'm at home. Hold on!"Tania rolled out of bed, ran her fingers through her hair, and let out a big sigh as she looked at herself in the mirror. She quickly slipped into her clothes, ready to dash out the door. Yasmin was right there, blocking the way. She saw Tania dressed and about to leave, so she tugged at Tania's ear. "Where do you think you're off to now? You're always getting into mischief instead

"Um..." Liliana seemed hesitant. She glanced at Sean and looked down. "Sure. Let me just put away my luggage, then I'll come find you!""Great. It's a plan!"Liliana ended the call and bit her lip. "Sean, thanks for the ride home!""Are you heading out?" Sean looked at Liliana. "You don't want to stay with the Hoffmans?"Sean's question shattered the silence between them. Liliana lowered her head. "It's my friend's birthday today! My really good friend!""Isn’t it Layla’s birthday too? Aren't you two like sisters?"After Sean spoke, he noticed Liliana looked upset. She bit her lip but kept quiet. Sean did not say anything else and pulled up to the Hoffman mansion. "Well, I've done my part now."Liliana thanked him, grabbed her bags, and watched Sean's car drive off. She stood at the entrance of the Hoffman mansion for quite a while before finally making her way inside with some difficulty.Thanks to what happened two years ago, the Hoffman family now treated Liliana with more r

Liliana shook her head, then nodded. "Sean, what are you doing here?"She had every reason to be shocked. She never thought she would see Sean in a place like this.Sean smiled as he took a quick look at Liliana. She was different from the little girl he remembered.The last time he had seen her, she was a mess—a tiny, skinny girl who was very shy.She had grown taller since then and filled out a bit, not looking as weak as before.Sean could not take his eyes off her. Even though she was taller, her face still had a childlike quality. "Hop in!""But my brother...""Don't worry. He's really busy today, so he sent me to pick you up," Sean said, nodding at the suitcase next to Liliana. "Pop it in the trunk!""Okay!"The sun felt strong and bright, making Sean's face shine in its light.Liliana paused for a second, dazzled, then quickly put her suitcase in the trunk. She tried to open the back door but could not get it to budge.Sean's face tensed up a bit. "Front seat!""Okay

Once Charles left, he called Ronald and instructed him to find Liliana a better school without all the drama.Ronald could not figure out why his boss suddenly cared so much about Liliana's problems. However, when he thought about how sad the young girl's situation was, he could not help but feel concerned too.Sean was surprised to get a call from Charles. "Hey, what's got Mr. Busy so free to ring me up?" he joked.The two were buddies. Even though Charles was a couple of years older, it did not get in the way of their friendship.Charles gave him a look. "You're not the type to poke your nose into other people's business!"Sean was stunned for a second, then laughed out loud. "What's that supposed to mean? Do I seem so standoffish? Let's just say I was being nice for once!" Sean explained, "But really, what's going on? That girl looked so helpless. She was getting picked on and too scared to stand up for herself. If I hadn't decided to skip the front gate and hop over the fence

"If you won't step up, then I'll look after her!" Charles declared, striding past Mateo. "We can't let the Hoffmans be pushed around without even realizing it!"“What do you mean by that?"Liliana had no idea that she had become the Hoffman family’s center of attention. By the next day, James had her room fixed up beautifully with every amenity she could ever want. She did not lack anything that Layla had, be it in her wardrobe or jewelry box.The servants escorted Liliana to her new room, and James handed her a card. "Miss, this is from Mr. Hoffman. He said you can buy whatever your heart desires with it!"Liliana could not believe it. She had no idea why Charles was being so nice or what he was up to. She did not even know that he had taken care of all the people who had bullied her before.All Liliana knew was that she felt nervous sitting in her room, waiting for Charles to come back.When Charles returned and saw Liliana waiting, he asked, "Were you looking for me?""Sir, y

Liliana stayed silent."Where's your room?"Charles felt a rare sense of defeat when Liliana would not answer. "Change your clothes. I'll take you to the hospital!""No, there's no need for that!" Liliana quickly gestured with her hands. She had already been to the hospital once today and could not possibly go again. "I have medicine!"Charles was not convinced. "What really happened?"Liliana fidgeted with her hands. "I was just clumsy. I've already bought some medicine, so there's really no need for this!"Clumsiness was a ridiculous excuse for how she looked right now.Charles was too clever not to notice what was going on. However, when he saw how scared Liliana looked, he did not push her any further. "You can put the ointment on yourself. Just remember that you're part of the Hoffman family. From today onward, don't let anyone push you around. If they do, they're messing with my reputation too!"Liliana nodded quickly, too scared to say much, and scampered off.With a fr
