"Have you heard about Lennon Group? Their former CEO, the one and only Mr. Lennon, got kicked out. He's pretty legendary and was buddies with our boss, Mr. Hoffman. There was talk about us teaming up with Lennon Group, but Colossus Group ditched them after they landed in hot water. Lennon Group's golden boy, Jamie, came looking for Mr. Hoffman at our office. He tried a bunch of times but never got to see him.""Really?" Noelle was taken aback. She knew about Lennon Group drama but had no idea Jamie had actually shown up at Colossus Group searching for Charles.Knowing Charles, he would not give Jamie the time of day. Even if he was not part of the Lennon family, the way he treated Tania was beyond heartless. Charles not going after Jamie for payback was already a huge favor to Peter. However, with Jamie practically knocking on his door, how could Charles pass up the chance to settle the score?"What happened after that?""What's left to happen? I've heard Lennon Group's on its last

That evening, as Noelle and Charles chatted about the day's events, Charles grinned and gave Noelle's hand a playful squeeze. "Are you that curious about Nexus Group?""No, not really," Noelle replied, her gaze drifting toward the kitchen. "What's the deal with Tania and Peter anyway?" She had hoped that things between Tania and Peter would cool off after the recent drama, but they had lapsed into an awkward silence instead.Charles's smile faded into a thoughtful frown. "I don't know. That's between them."Noelle let out another sigh. "What about Mr. Smith's report? Is Tania healthy enough to go through with the surgery for Aunt Nancy?""We still don’t know. Sean's discussing it with Dr. Powell, and I’ve not been keeping up.” He and Peter were not medical experts, so they did not understand the specifics despite shadowing Sean."What are you two whispering about?"Tania walked in from the kitchen, drying her hands, with little Brandon in tow. "Charles, I had my check-up the othe

Marvin was at his limit and gave a weary nod. "I've never encountered a virus this difficult to deal with.""Neither have I," Sean admitted. He thought he had seen it all in medicine, but that virus stumped him. "Go home and get some rest. We'll continue tomorrow."Once Marvin had left, Sean leaned against the lab wall, exhausted.The whole ordeal with Tania had kept him away from home and his bed for days.Then there was the virus...Tania waited and worried for days, sensing that something was off. Everyone seemed to be keeping secrets from her. Her suspicions worsened when Nancy suddenly took a turn for the worse, slipping into unconsciousness.The doctors were clear: Nancy did not have much time left. A bone marrow transplant was her only shot at surviving, even if just for a few more years. Without it, Nancy was a goner.Nancy's doctor made sure Tania was far away before he spoke to Peter and Henry. However, they did not expect Tania to have her ears pressed to the door, ca

"I just don't get it," Tania said, her voice cracking with emotion. "Can’t you see my mom lying unconscious in that hospital bed? I just came back, and she's aged so much. I missed over twenty years with them, and then I stupidly left for another three years. I can't afford to lose any more time with her. Do you understand?""I do!" Peter replied, his voice heavy as he watched Tania's outburst. His eyes darkened, and he felt a pang in his heart. He wrapped his arms around her, soothingly rubbing her back. "I understand, Tania, but with the shape you're in, even if your mom gets the surgery, she might not pull through. It's risky, and I can't let you take that chance.""Are you worried about me or yourself?” Tania shoved Peter away. "You're not me. You can't understand. I lost twenty years with them, and just when we could have reunited, you made me leave Brookville. It's all my fault! All of it!""Tania!"Peter reached out to her, but Tania slapped his hand away. The elevator doors

"Don’t cry," Charles whispered as he wrapped his arms around Tania, gently patting her back. He waited until she settled down before he looked at the others and then Peter. "It's time she learned the truth.""I... What are you guys keeping from me? Why are you delaying the surgery?" Tania's confusion grew. She understood others being against the surgery, but if Charles was too, then something was definitely up.Tania scanned the faces of the men around her, noting their unusually grave expressions. She could not shake the feeling that something terrible was looming, and Peter's strained voice confirmed her fears. "Okay."Her heart skipped a beat, and she gripped the fabric of her sleeves so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her breathing sped up with anxiety.Peter caught Tania's gaze, sorrow flickering in his eyes. He stepped closer and took her hands in his, offering a gentle squeeze. "Whatever happens, I'm right here with you."Tania tried to wriggle her hand free, feelin

"Stop!" Tania cut Sean off mid-sentence. "I don't believe a single thing you're saying. How could I be carrying a virus? All these years..." She trailed off, her mind racing with memories.She bit her lip, and her face revealed something was not right. "What is this virus, exactly? Can you cure it? How long will it take? My mom..." She could not wait any longer.Peter squinted, watching how Tania was acting, and he could not shake off a bad feeling. "Tania, did something just occur to you?""Nothing!" Tania said too quickly.However, the faster Tania denied it, the more Peter was convinced she had realized something. However, with Tania keeping quiet, there was nothing Peter could do.Tania bit her lip and inhaled sharply. "Mr. Smith, you know my mom's always been there for you, and I hate to ask, but I need your help again. If my bone marrow isn't a match, what about someone else's?"Sean shifted uncomfortably. "Tania, you know that even blood relatives don't always match, and b

Steven would rather ask a stranger for help than return to the Naylors. A stranger would probably be kinder than the Naylors. "We've got to at least try!" Charles said, stubbing out his cigarette with a steely squint. "I'll figure something out with the Naylors.""Do you really think you can pull it off?" Sean asked, skeptical. Charles was the big shot of the Hoffman family, and they were on really bad terms with the Naylors. "We've got no choice. Aunt Nancy and Tania are running out of time. I need you and Dr. Powell to figure out that virus ASAP. My team's been on it in Kerlsberg, but they’ve gone nowhere.""Don't worry. We’ve been working on it constantly!" Sean replied, his energy fading. "Dr. Powell, what do you think?""I just remembered someone who might be able to help us," Marvin blurted out."Who?" Steven, Charles, and Sean chimed in together, all eyes on Marvin.Marvin took a moment to think. "You might have heard of him—the elusive Mystic Lifebringer, Houston. Howeve

Tania's mood had improved significantly with Peter by her side. He took her to Nancy's hospital room, and when Tania caught sight of Henry, her dad, sitting silently next to her mom, her eyes welled up again.Henry looked up, his heart aching at the sight of Tania. He let go of Nancy's hand, stepped out, and closed the door behind him. He gave Tania's shoulder a gentle pat. "Tania, I know it's tough, but mom would be upset seeing you like this.""Dad!" Tania rushed into Henry's embrace, her voice quivering. "I'm not crying, really. Peter will find a bone marrow donor. We're going to make Mom better.""There's my brave girl," Henry said, smoothing her hair, then turned to Peter. "Take Tania home and let her get some rest. Make sure you keep an eye on Brandon too.""I'll look after them. You have my word, Dad!"Henry gave a small nod. He was not Peter's biggest fan, but he could tell he really loved Tania and treated her right. If Tania could patch things up with Peter, she would be

"Sean, stop messing around. Let go of me first," Liliana tugged at Sean's arm, realizing how tightly he was holding her. "You're choking me."Only then did Sean loosen his grip slightly, though he still did not let her go. His forehead rested against hers, and he panted softly. "Liliana, do you remember what you said to me in the fire?"Liliana's face turned red, and she awkwardly turned her head away. "N-No, I don't remember. What did I say? I don't think I—mmph..."Before she could finish, Sean kissed her, swallowing the rest of her words with that one stubborn kiss.Liliana raised her hands and smacked Sean on the shoulder, trying to push him away. "Sea—mmph, what are you doing? Let me go..."She shoved him hard, and Sean stumbled back, clutching his chest. Liliana's face went pale, and she rushed over. "Sean, what's wrong? Are you okay? Did I hurt you somewhere?"Nonetheless, Sean took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her again. That feeling of holding her tightly

Noelle raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say that."Then, she added, "That knot in Liliana's heart can only be undone by Sean."What happened back then had always been a shadow between the two of them. Noelle had noticed it these past few days. Though Liliana stubbornly claimed she no longer cared, she clutched her phone every single day, obviously waiting for a call.Liliana's social circle was small. Noelle and the others knew everyone she knew. Who else could she be waiting for but Sean?Charles furrowed his brows. "If Liliana can't have the best, then she's better off with nothing."Noelle could not help but laugh. "Alright, alright. I know you're still holding a grudge against Hayes and Savannah."Honestly, Noelle shared the sentiment. "Savannah really crossed a line with how she handled everything."Charles reached out and gently pinched Noelle's knuckles. "That's not what I meant."Noelle chuckled, exasperated. "I know."Outside, the sound of a car engine drew their attentio

Sean shoved Hayes away. "Dad, if you're just like Mom and trying to stop me from being with Liliana, then don't even bother. If I can't marry Liliana in this lifetime, I won't marry anyone else."With that, Sean lay down decisively. Hayes frowned. "Sean, this isn't about what we want anymore. It's about Liliana and Charles now."Truthfully, Hayes did not have many opinions about Sean and Liliana's relationship. He was always too busy with the company to pay attention to such things. Even the events from four years ago were only now becoming clearer to him."If you insist on marrying her, I won't stop you. But from what I can see, the problem lies with Liliana and Charles."Sean's gaze sharpened as he clenched his fists. "That's impossible. Liliana already forgave me back when the fire happened. She promised that if we both made it out, she'd marry me."Hayes sighed. "Your mother… She misunderstood Liliana and said some harsh things. Just rest for now. Once you're better, we'll go

Sean spat out a mouthful of blood. One hand gripped the bedsheet tightly, his gaze turning darker than ever."What do you mean by that? What do you mean she doesn't want to marry me? She promised me. She said that as long as I was willing to walk out of that fire with her, she'd be with me. You're lying to me, aren't you? Tell me you're lying to me."Sean's bloodshot eyes locked on Savannah's. "Tell me."Savannah was momentarily stunned by the sheer force of Sean's gaze. This was the first time she ever felt fear in front of her own son. "Sean, I…""Where's Liliana?" Sean demanded."Sean," Hayes called out as he pushed open the door and stepped in. "That's no way to speak to your mother.""Then how should I speak to her?" Sean's voice turned icy."Did you know it was Joanna who drugged me nine years ago? And while I was under the influence, I forced myself on Liliana? I misunderstood her, and as a result, she had to hide in the countryside for years."Four years ago, it was me

The operating room door swung open, and Liliana spun around. She saw Saxon step out. Not caring about anyone else’s opinions, she grabbed his hand. "Mr. Holt, how's Sean?"Saxon looked down at their hands, noting how soft and warm hers was. He met her eyes and nodded. "The patient is out of danger now. He should wake up by tomorrow."Hearing that, Liliana let out a sigh of relief and then suddenly fainted."Liliana!"Charles rushed over and wrapped Liliana in a tight hug, but his eyes quickly darted to Hayes and Savannah. "Now that Sean is safe, Sean's fate is no longer Liliana's concern, nor ours," he declared, speaking for the Hoffman family.With those words, Charles carried Liliana away. Saxon was tugged along by Linda. "Saxon, you should check on her. The young lady seemed off to me. She's been hiding her pain. Besides the wound on her shoulder, I think she breathed in a lot of smoke."Saxon's eyes shimmered for a moment. "Yeah, I'm aware."Liliana had been pushing through

"Charles, you…""Stop it!" Hayes was taken aback by Savannah suddenly slapping Liliana. He did not particularly like or dislike Liliana, but she was part of the Hoffman family, and their family commanded much respect. Besides, Noelle was still Charles's wife, and they had to be careful about their actions.Hayes turned to Charles. "I'm sorry, my wife acted without thinking. But what in the world happened today?"Hayes had been told that his son was hurt, but he did not know the details. When he arrived and saw Liliana was there and injured too, Hayes and Savannah could not help but think that Liliana must be connected to Sean's injury.Charles gave a sharp look. "It was Joanna's doing.""Joanna? No, that can't be!" Savannah was shocked to hear the name Joanna, and she quickly objected, "Joanna is such a sweet girl, she couldn't possibly...""Oh, sweet indeed!"Liliana, who had been silent until then, finally spoke. She narrowed her eyes and stood up, ignoring the pain from her w

"Liliana!""Get up quickly!" Liliana used all her strength to pull Sean up from the ground. "Can you walk?""Uh-huh!" Sean had been hit by a falling piece of wood on his leg when he tried to push Liliana out earlier. That was why he could not get out in time and could only hear Liliana's loud calls from outside.He had wished so badly for Liliana to leave quickly, but she had come back for him.Sean bit down hard and pushed himself up.Even if it was hard to walk, he had to try because Liliana wanted him to stand.Liliana slung Sean's arm over her shoulder, noticing his injury. Her eyes were red with tears. "Sean, hang in there. If we both make it out today, I'll forgive you. You can ask me to do anything.""Really?" Sean's eyes sparkled, and he smiled. "Liliana, I don't want you to do anything." In his heart, he added, ‘I just want you to marry me.’"The fire is licking at our heels, and you two are still dawdling," came Charles's icy voice from up ahead. In a flash, he was be

"Sean, where are you? Didn't you just say you love me?" she cried out. "How can you leave me like this, saying you love me and then j-j-just giving up? What am I supposed to do now?"Sean, you took our child from me. How could you think I'd just forgive you? If you don't make this right, I swear I'll never forgive you," Liliana yelled outside, her voice filled with madness. Inside, the plant was engulfed in flames. Shaking from head to toe, Liliana's screams slowly turned into a whisper. She clenched her hands tight, staring blankly at the fire. "If you're gone, what's left for me here?""Liliana!"Charles rushed over and saw Liliana moving toward the flames. He grabbed her and pulled her back. "What are you doing?"Liliana looked up, dazed, and saw Charles. She quickly stood up and grabbed his hand. "Charles, please. I'm begging you. Help me save Sean, please!"Charles's brow creased as he looked at the fiery red inferno, his fingers tensing. "Liliana, the fire's too big. Sean mi

Liliana shoved Sean aside and covered him with her body, taking a knife stab from Joanna. "Ugh..."Pain whitened Liliana's face, and blood dripped onto Sean's face. Reacting quickly, Sean rolled over, picked Liliana up in his arms, and seized Joanna's neck, twisting it hard until it cracked. Joanna's eyes bulged in disbelief as she stared at Sean."You..."She had not thought Sean would actually snap her neck. Her eyes were wide open, one hand clutching a knife, and the other holding a lighter.With her last breath, she tossed the lighter.A loud bang followed, and flames started to spread from that spot.Sean's eyes darkened as he carried Liliana and dashed for the exit. However, how could he outrun the swift spread of the fire while burdened with Liliana's weight?Liliana's eyes widened as she saw the flames creeping up behind them. She pushed Sean, urging him, "Go now, or it'll be too late!"However, Sean's eyes turned a deep red with emotion. "Liliana, I won't let go of you
