Chapter 891

Author: Chweety
When Charles returned, Noelle, Tania, and Brandon were playing in the living room. Tania seemed to be on the phone with Trevon while Noelle was running around the room with Brandon in her arms.

The moment Charles opened the door, he was greeted by this harmonious scene—especially the smile on Noelle's face as she held Brandon. Charles' gaze softened even more as he watched her.

Noelle was the first to hear the door open. She turned around while still carrying Brandon and saw Charles standing in the entryway, his hands full of shopping bags. He was changing his shoes.

"Charlie!" she called out, setting Brandon down. She took his hand as they walked over. "Brandon, this is your Uncle Charles."

Brandon shyly looked at Charles, tilting his head in such an endearing way that it melted Noelle's heart. "Charlie, this is Tania's son, Brandon!"

Charles, who always had a sharp glint in his eyes, softened his gaze when it landed on Brandon. "Brandon, I'm your uncle!"

    Tania's face turned pale. "I... How is that possible? That can't be!""Impossible?" Charles chuckled, placing Brandon down from his lap. "Brandon, how about you go look for your Aunt Noelle?""Okay!" Brandon seemed in a good mood as he slid off Charles' lap and ran off to the kitchen. Charles stood up. "Come with me to the study."Tania felt uneasy, especially with what Charles was saying, which echoed some of the strange things Noelle had mentioned earlier in the day. Tania knew that with Charles' abilities, finding someone should be an easy task. If Charles said he could not locate her, then..."Take a look at this!" Charles opened a drawer and pulled out a yellow folder, handing it to Tania. "These are some of the leads I've gathered over the past three years while searching for you."According to these, you've supposedly been to countless countries. My men have been looking for you in each of those places. Now, tell me, who could be skillful enough to fool both me and Peter

    "No way! Brandon is so adorable, and he really likes me!" Noelle said as she placed the cup on the desk. Then, glancing at the stack of documents, she frowned slightly. "You still have so much work left?""Yeah.""By the way, about what I mentioned earlier today, you should probably look into it. I have this feeling Tania's story doesn't add up. You should've seen how she reacted when she saw Peter. I was there with him at the airport, and the moment she saw me, she was full of hostility.""Really?" Charles raised an eyebrow. "Are you tattling?""I'm being serious!" Noelle glared at him. "She seemed to think there was something between Peter and me. You have no idea how furious she was when she talked to him, like she was spitting fire."And then she was cold toward me too. I think she still has feelings for Peter. As for her saying she's married… Well, I'd suggest you dig into that." Noelle patted Charles' shoulder as if she was passing on a great responsibility.Charles chuckle

    Noelle nodded. "Of course, I won't say anything. But…" She still felt a bit worried. "What if things between Peter and Tania don't improve? Tania mentioned she doesn't plan to stay long.""You don't need to worry about that," Charles said with a smile as he took her hand and led her out of the study."Knowing Peter's personality, now that Tania is back, he's not going to let her go that easily." After waiting for three years, there was no way he would let her slip away.…Since Charles had work the next day, Noelle went to the hospital with Tania. Nancy's condition could not afford any delays, and each day added to the risk. Tania sought out Sean directly. "Mr. Smith!""Why if it isn't my sister-in-law!" Sean greeted with a harmless smile when he saw Tania. He even pulled up a chair for her. "Please take a seat."Tania glanced at Sean. "Mr. Smith, I've already divorced Peter, so I don't deserve to be called your sister-in-law. You can just call me Tania."Sean narrowed his eyes

    Noelle was peeling an apple for Nancy when she looked up and saw Tania standing at the door. She smiled and said, "Tania, you're back?"The room fell silent, and the first to react was Brandon. He climbed down from Peter's lap and ran over to Tania, wrapping his little arms around her legs. "Mommy, Mr. Lennon said he's taking me to the amusement park.""Amusement park?" Tania frowned and looked at Peter in surprise."What are you doing here?" Tania's tone was not friendly. She had been so focused on Brandon that she had not noticed Peter's presence. Seeing how much Brandon seemed to like Peter, a hint of worry appeared on her face.Peter watched Brandon jump off his lap. He was concerned that Brandon might hurt himself. Even as Brandon ran to Tania, Peter's gaze remained soft, filled with a gentle warmth.Sensing the tension in the air, Noelle quickly intervened, "Peter came to check on Aunt Nancy. By the way, Tania, what did the doctor say?"She handed the task of peeling apples

    Tania claimed that Brandon was not Peter's child, but judging by the way Brandon acted around Peter, the affection between them could not be faked.Peter, who was usually so high and mighty, treated Brandon with such care even though Tania had claimed that the boy was not his. It showed just how deeply Peter loved Tania.Noelle did not know exactly what had transpired between the two of them, but she secretly hoped they could start over. However, thinking about Tania's marriage made Noelle worry that Peter's path might be a difficult one.Watching the heartwarming scene unfold before her, Noelle could not resist taking a photo and sending it to Charles. "Charlie, look at this. Don't they look like a happy little family?"Charles was in the middle of a meeting with senior executives. He had strictly ordered that phones were not allowed during meetings, and even if someone brought one, it had to be on silent.However, while a certain department head was giving his report, a ringtone

    Sean let out a chuckle. "You're quite considerate of others," he said as he walked toward his office, with Noelle following behind."Of course. Peter is Charlie's good friend, and Tania is Charlie's cousin. Naturally, I hope this all ends well. Besides, Brandon…""What about Brandon?" Sean, who had only met the child briefly, already found him quite likable. "He looks a lot like Peter, doesn't he?""You think so too?" Noelle's eyes brightened. "Look, I secretly recorded this video earlier when they weren't paying attention."She handed her phone to Sean, who watched the video and nodded in approval. "Impressive work, Noelle!""But don't worry. Even if Tania leaves now, Peter has ways to bring her back. He has always been persistent when it comes to Tania."Sean had witnessed their relationship back in the day and knew Peter was not someone who gave up easily."Speaking of Aunt Nancy's health, Tania plans to undergo some tests soon. Then, they'll schedule the surgery. We've discu

    "No way!" Charles refused immediately without a second thought. "I don't feel comfortable with you going alone. How about you take Peter with you?""I..." Noelle was momentarily stunned, thinking Charles was being overly cautious for no reason. However, hearing the firmness in his voice, she realized she did not have much of a choice. She sighed and agreed reluctantly, "Alright, I'll go look for Peter."After hanging up the phone, Noelle glanced at Sean. "Charlie said it's fine. I'll go prepare the ingredients. See you tonight at Phoenix Tree Residence."On Charles' end, he ended the call and immediately dialed Peter's number. At that moment, Peter was with Brandon, chatting away, while Tania kept a close eye on him. It was as if she feared Peter would run off with Brandon at any second.Peter squinted. "You don't need to watch me like a hawk.""Give Brandon back to me," Tania demanded.Peter smirked. "Alright, come and take him.""You..." Tania was livid as she glared at Peter.

    "I think Brandon quite likes the idea," Peter said calmly."You..." Tania was at a loss for words.At that moment, Noelle knocked on the door, interrupting them. "Peter, could you come with me for a moment?"Peter's expression softened when he saw Noelle. He nodded. "Charles just called me.""Yeah, sorry to trouble you. Charlie's worried about me going alone. Mr. Smith is busy at work, so you're my only option."Peter nodded and handed Brandon back to Tania. "Let's go."Tania almost could not reach out to Brandon in time, and almost immediately, Brandon began to cry."Mr. Lennon doesn't want to take me out. Mr. Lennon is a bad person!"Peter was already at the door when he heard Brandon's cries. He stopped, glancing back at Tania.Tania bit her lip. She had not expected Brandon to get so attached to Peter. Seeing Peter leave, Brandon wriggled out of her arms, his little legs quickly carrying him over to Peter.He grabbed Peter's leg with both arms, looking up with tear-filled

    Charles furrowed his brows tightly at Noelle's words. "Nelly, Kelly will be fine. You have to trust me."He reached out to gently rub her back, soothing her until she finally calmed down. However, once Noelle was settled, his expression darkened completely.Peter's people had been searching for three days, but there was still no sign of Kelly. The tracking chip Charles had implanted in her had long been removed by Yves, leaving them with no way to trace her location.Charles sat by Noelle's bedside, watching as she fell into a deep sleep under Linda's acupuncture treatment, yet his heart remained unsettled.Linda looked at Noelle and sighed helplessly. "Mr. Hoffman, while Noelle's condition is stable for now and the virus hasn't flared up, she's still pregnant. Any stress or anxiety could be dangerous for her. No matter how skilled I am, I won't be able to help if she keeps worrying like this."She handed Charles another prescription. He took it, and his brows were tightly knitted

    "Ms. Anderson, you should worry about yourself instead! Even if Mr. Yves remembers you in the future, I'm afraid your situation will be far worse than this. I told you before—I won't let you die so easily. So, Ms. Anderson, just stay here and make yourself comfortable!" Elon spat."Elon, once Yves finds out, he'll kill you. He will."The only response Kelly received was the heavy clang of the cell door slamming shut.She used every ounce of strength to scream, but after Elon left, all that remained was pain—unbearable, all-consuming pain.She trembled violently, shivering as if she had been thrown into an ice cellar, yet moments later, it felt as if she were being scorched alive.Kelly writhed on the floor, the torment so excruciating that she nearly passed out.Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes as she closed them.She suddenly recalled the first time she had met Yves. She had infuriated him, and she had blurted out in a fit of defiance, "Only by falling in love with yo

    Kelly let out a cold chuckle. "Is that so? Then why hasn't Yves killed me yet? Shouldn't he have killed me the moment I tore off his mask and discovered his identity?"She struggled to her feet, but the iron chains around her ankles were secured to the floor. She barely took a few steps before the chains yanked her back, causing her to fall heavily onto the ground.Pain radiated through her body, and a sharp sting shot through her palms as they scraped against the rough surface. She winced, sucking in a breath.Her ankle, caught in the unforgiving grip of the iron shackle, twisted painfully.Forcing herself up, Kelly looked at Elon. "Locking me up here… Is that truly Yves' decision?"Elon remained silent. He knelt before her, gripping her jaw forcefully before she could react. In one swift motion, he shoved a small pill into her mouth.Kelly clamped her lips shut, struggling against him. However, Elon's grip was ruthless. He squeezed her cheeks hard to force her mouth open and pu

    Peter's men immediately sprang into action. Since Kelly had disappeared from the villa, they started their search from there.While they were looking for Kelly, Elon had already moved her to another location. Kelly had no idea where she was.She only remembered that after Yves left, the man who had always been by his side appeared, striking her across the face. She blacked out instantly.When she woke up again, she found herself lying on an icy, damp surface. The air was cold, and she had no clue where she was.She struggled to sit up, only to realize that heavy iron chains shackled her wrists and ankles. The room was pitch-black without a single trace of light.Kelly groped around in the darkness, but she could not make out anything. In such a void, her hearing became especially sensitive. She caught the sound of approaching footsteps.Moments later, the door creaked open, allowing a sliver of light to pierce through the darkness. The sudden brightness momentarily blinded her. W

    "I actually wasn't certain of his identity either. It was just my own speculation." Simon sat back down, stretching his legs lazily."He's been making some big moves in the York family lately, which isn't like him at all. My people reported that he's been frequently appearing at that villa. I got bored and decided to check it out, and just like that, I stumbled upon a massive secret."He spoke nonchalantly as if it were no big deal. "I'm not particularly interested in the Hoffmans' old grudges, but this document you handed me, Mr. Hoffman… I find it interesting."Charles smirked. "Here's to a successful collaboration."Simon raised an eyebrow. "As long as it doesn't involve me getting my hands dirty, I don't really care."He casually flipped through the documents Charles had given him. "How did you figure this out?""With enough effort, anything can be uncovered. I've always thought that someone like you shouldn't be limited to playing such a minor role.""Mr. Hoffman, flattery

    Charles remained silent, and his unreadable gaze was fixed on Simon.After a long pause, Simon was the first to break the silence with a chuckle. "No wonder he's so cautious, carefully planning for years just to counter you. Charles, you truly are a formidable opponent."He stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Should I be grateful that we're not on opposing sides? Otherwise, you'd probably scheme against me as well, wouldn't you?"Charles stood up, slipping his hands into his pockets. "I'll be waiting for your good news.""Charles!" Simon stood up as well. "How can you be so sure I'll cooperate? What if I refuse?""You won't."Their gazes locked in mid-air, and Charles' eyes were filled with unwavering certainty.Simon shrugged. "Alright then.""So, you knew about his identity all along?" Simon asked, genuinely curious about Charles' endgame.Charles' dark eyes glimmered faintly. "I found out not long ago."Had he not been cautious, he might still be unaware of the true motives be

    Simon raised an eyebrow and nodded, but his gaze remained on Noelle. She noticed him as well and gave him a slight nod. "Mr. York, it's been a while."Simon's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, carrying a hint of mischief. "Indeed, it has."Sensing a sudden shift in the atmosphere, Simon arched an eyebrow and shot Charles a sidelong glance before chuckling."Come on, Charles. I'm your invited guest, aren't I? The way you're looking at me is making me nervous."Charles merely let out a cold snort. "Mr. York, let's talk privately."With that, the two of them moved to the hospital room next door. Simon quickly realized that the room had been converted into a personal office—or rather, a surveillance hub.He had noticed something off about the hospital's atmosphere the moment he arrived. There were very few patients, and while the place seemed quiet, the entire area was heavily guarded. Charles had his men stationed everywhere, making it nearly impossible for anyone without serious skil

    Simon could not help but chuckle at Linda's words.It was only then that Linda seemed to notice his presence. She frowned at this uninvited guest and snapped. "What are you laughing at? Careful, or I'll gouge your eyeballs out!""Tsk, tsk, for someone so young, why are you already so vicious?" Simon shook his head in feigned helplessness, his tone filled with mockery. He even gave Linda a look of exaggerated disdain.Linda had always appreciated good-looking people and admired all things aesthetically pleasing. However, when she saw Simon's overly charming face, something strange happened. She did not swoon like she usually would. Instead, she found him rather annoying.She rested her chin on her hand, scrutinizing Simon with an expression far too mature for her age.Simon also found this young lady amusing. Judging by her actions, she was likely skilled in medicine—probably quite skilled.Otherwise, with how cautious Charles was, he would never have entrusted Noelle's life to a

    Elon clenched his fists tightly at Yves' command.This woman was nothing but trouble—Yves' greatest weakness. Elon regretted not killing her years ago when he had the chance.If she had been eliminated back then, none of this would be happening now. Her presence was creating cracks in what had once been a flawless plan.Due to this woman, Yves was now willingly stepping into danger, even engaging with Charles and Steven ahead of schedule. She could not be allowed to stay."Yes, I'll ensure Ms. Anderson's safety," Elon replied.Yves cast him a cold glance before finally leaving the villa.…Meanwhile, after leaving the villa, Simon had the distinct feeling that someone was following him. However, Simon was not just anyone. He might seem carefree on the surface, but in reality, he was the most discreet and unpredictable of the York family's three sons.To outsiders, he appeared to be the least accomplished among the York siblings, but it was precisely this harmless facade that ma
