Charles nodded. "So?"Noelle grinned and ran over to Charles, wrapping her arms around his neck. "So... are you free that day?""Is my wife planning to introduce me to her parents?" Charles raised an eyebrow. There was a smile in his eyes. Allowing Noelle to hang onto his neck, he lightly tapped her forehead and chuckled. "Hmm?""Yes, yes. Don't you always complain about how I've never told anyone about our relationship? Now that I'm willing to take you to meet my parents, you're not happy?"Noelle pretended to be upset. "If you're not happy, I'm gonna get upset too!""Silly girl!" Seeing that Noelle was about to leave, Charles extended his long arm and pulled her back. She lost her balance and ended up sitting right on Charles' lap.Noelle exclaimed in surprise, wrapping her arms around his neck. "What are you doing? You scared me!"Charles smiled, leaning in to press his forehead against hers. "Are you that timid? Scared so easily?"Noelle pursed her lips. "I'll scare you nex

Noelle selected an appropriate and festive outfit for the event. Charles was busy today and had not returned yet, so Noelle waited at home. After waiting for over an hour, she finally received a call from Charles. "Nelly, I'm sorry, but I probably can't go with you today."Noelle was slightly surprised. "Is something wrong? Is it the company?" she asked instinctively. Charles denied it, "No, something came up at the Hoffman residence. I need to go there.""But... I promised Grandpa I'd bring you back." Noelle paused. "My parents are also expecting me to bring... Well, actually, it's okay if we do it later on."Although she felt a bit disappointed, Noelle knew Charles was not someone who broke promises. If he could not go with her, it had to be because something important happened. "I'll go by myself.""Wait!" Charles was silent for a moment on the other end. "I'll have Sean accompany you.""No... That's not necessary!""I'm worried about you." Charles sighed. "Apart from Grandp

Jade was chatting with Emilia. Although they were in-laws, ever since the previous incident, there had been some estrangement between the two families—especially since Emilia had been humiliated by Noelle and a group of people over matters involving Winter and Noelle.Emilia glanced around. "Today's your husband's birthday. Isn't your younger daughter coming?"Jade narrowed her eyes. She did not like Noelle, but being questioned by Emilia made her uncomfortable, especially now that Noelle had connections with the Smiths and the Joneses. Jade replied amicably, "She said she'd come with her boyfriend. He's Yitty's boy, the one from the Joneses!" As Jade spoke, she looked at Emilia, and sure enough, Emilia's expression changed."Oh, really?""Yes!"The Shaw residence was bustling with activity. Outside the villa, Noelle parked the car and glanced at the lively scene inside, sighing softly. As she turned her head, she saw Sean looking at her with a half-smile. His innocent expressio

Sean's mouth started twitching. He raised his hand to cover his forehead as he looked at Noelle helplessly.Noelle was equally stunned. "Your cousin is here too? And the person next to your cousin is...""It's my aunt!"Noelle was speechless.She opened her mouth but then saw Jade walking over with a bright smile. "Yitty, you're finally here! Your son is here!" Jade said as she reached out to take Yitty's hand. Yitty paused, narrowly avoiding Jade's touch. She frowned slightly. "Hasn't my son been here for quite a while now?" she asked in confusion while glancing at Bob beside her.Bob remained expressionless, his face showing no change.Jade also noticed the man beside Yitty. He was handsome and imposing—a fine young man. "Yitty, who is this?"Yitty curled her lips. "My son, Bob. Don't you know him, Mrs. Shaw?"Bob? This was Bob?Jade's mouth dropped open in shock. She looked incredulously at Yitty and Bob, then glanced back at Noelle and Sean not far away. "Yitty, you must

Sean narrowed his eyes as the smile on his face remained unchanged, but the coldness in his gaze deepened slightly.Jade had never been treated like this before. She wanted to argue with Sean but heard Yitty say, "You're always up to something."Yitty gave Sean a stern look. "It's fine for you to be close with Ms. Shaw—that's not my business. But you should've informed me and Mrs. Shaw. Otherwise, such misunderstandings wouldn't be good for you or your cousin!"With Yitty saying this, Jade could not say anything else even if she wanted to. She could only glare angrily at Noelle. "You knew about this all along, didn't you?"Noelle pressed her lips together but did not answer Jade's question.Even though Jade was furious, with so many guests present—especially with Yitty and Bob there—she could not do anything to Noelle. Even if Noelle was not dating Bob, Sean was not someone she could afford to offend.Although Jade had never met Sean before, she had heard of his reputation. At th

Winter thought to herself, 'Damn it! Why is that woman always so lucky? She's not only gotten Bob but even Sean!'Winter clenched her wine glass tightly. Seeing Xavier standing in the corner, with his eyes constantly fixed on Noelle, her jealousy toward Noelle intensified even more....The Hoffman residence was also very lively at this moment. The adults were sitting in the living room chatting, while in the corner, two children were playing happily.Suddenly, they heard the rumbling of a car outside, followed by the sound of the engine turning off.James hurried out to greet him. "Mr. Charles is back!"Charles held a coat in his hand. Although early spring had passed, the weather at the Hoffman residence was still a bit chilly. Seeing the butler approaching, he glanced at him and nodded slightly with a hum.The people in the living room were slightly startled by Charles' deep voice and stood up. "Charlie!"Standing at the entrance, still holding his coat, Charles' gaze swept

Charles set Anna down and patted her small shoulder. He then said to Chloe, "It's getting late, Chlo. I'll take you home."Chloe had been feeling quite uneasy sitting here. If Maxwell had not inexplicably called her back, she would not have wanted to get involved in this mess at all.She knew what Charles was capable of. Over the years, she had seen it firsthand. Hence, in this situation, she would either not take sides or stand with Charles.Chloe was a smart person. She had managed to stay out of trouble within the Hoffmans all these years for a reason. She nodded and stood up. "It is late. Anna has school tomorrow, so I'll head out now."As Chloe walked past Kelly, she could not help but glance at her before picking up Anna. "Anna, how about Uncle Charles take us back home?""Yay, yay! Anna hasn't seen you in so long and missed you terribly!" Anna clapped her hands excitedly. "Anna loves you the most, Uncle Charles."Charles curved his lips. "I love you too, Anna." He reached

Charles placed Anna in the seat and got into the driver's seat while Chloe carefully got into the car. She sat next to Anna and casually held her.Charles entered the car but did not start it immediately. He rested one hand on the steering wheel, and the interior remained dark except for the faint glow from the Hoffman residence. It made the atmosphere extremely dim and heavy."Charlie, I—""I know. Grandpa called you back," Charles interrupted Chloe before pausing for a moment. "Do you also think that now that Kelly is back, I'll divorce Noelle?"Chloe was slightly taken aback. "Why would you ask that?" Feeling truly surprised, she added, "That child..."Charles chuckled softly and glanced at Chloe but did not explain. "I'll take you home.""But Charlie... I don't think Grandpa is joking this time. He..." Although Charles was formidable, the Hoffmans were such a large family. The pressure on him had to be immense.Chloe did not understand why Charles was so fixated on Noelle, a

Liliana's piercing scream echoed through the empty underground parking lot. However, there was no one to hear her and no one to witness what was happening to her at that moment. No one knew that this was the beginning of her personal hell.Her voice broke as she gasped for air, her hands desperately pounding against Sean's back as she tried to push him away. However, he only held her tighter.Her fragile body was trapped beneath him, moving in rhythm with his relentless force. She had no idea when it would end.Sean, lost in his own haze, was consumed by the warmth surrounding him. The way her body clenched around him only drove him further into his intoxicated madness. It was not until Liliana's voice had gone completely hoarse that he finally reached his release.Liliana blacked out from exhaustion, and eventually, Sean, too, drifted into a deep sleep while still holding onto her.The night had descended upon her so suddenly, like a storm Liliana never saw coming.When Liliana

The distance was not far, but dragging Sean along had drained nearly all of Liliana's strength. She panted, struggling to keep him upright. "Sean, where are we supposed to go now?"The only response she got was a muffled groan. His body temperature seemed to be rising by the second.Liliana, already struggling under his weight, instinctively reached out and touched his face, only to find it scorching hot. Panic gripped her."Sean!"With no other options, she half-carried, half-dragged him toward the parking lot and finally located his car. Summoning every ounce of strength, she managed to haul him inside, planning to let him sleep it off until he sobered up.After securing him in the seat, she grabbed a bottle of water and began wiping his face. Just as she was about to relax, Sean, who had been completely still moments ago, suddenly stirred.He half-opened his eyes, his gaze locking on Liliana's face. Under the dim car light, her features appeared softer, more delicate.Then, o

"No, we can't stay. Let's go separately. I'll walk you to the entrance!"Liliana told Tania that her family had forbidden her from coming to places like this. She hailed a cab and sent Tania off first.She returned alone, but she had no idea which private room Sean was in. She only knew it was somewhere on the third floor, but the exact location was a mystery.As she anxiously searched for him, she spotted one of Sean's friends coming down the stairs with Joanna following closely behind.At the staircase, Joanna stopped to bid farewell. "Thank you, dude… I…""Go on! Good luck!"The man glanced at Joanna before brushing past Liliana and leaving.Liliana watched Joanna's retreating figure, then saw her head back upstairs. She followed her without hesitation.The server must have assumed she was with Joanna because he did not stop her.Liliana saw Joanna enter a private room, where only Sean and Joanna remained. The others were nowhere to be seen.Peering through the gap in the

"Huh? I'm not outside right now!" Liliana quickly covered the phone's mouthpiece. "I mean... I'm at a classmate's house. Is there something you need, Sean?"She asked the question while glancing nervously around. Spotting Tania trying to slip away, she hurried over to grab her."Tania...""Liliana, I still want more to drink!""Where are you?" Sean's voice came through, and another girl's voice was in the background. "Are you guys drinking?""I...""Do you realize you're not old enough to drink? And it's so late now. You should be at home, not out drinking!" Sean sounded serious, and Liliana almost lost her cool. "No, Sean, I...""Where are you? I'm coming to get you!"Liliana quickly shook her head, even though Sean could not see. "There’s no need for that, Sean. I'm just at a friend's house. She's... She's having a birthday party, and I...""Another birthday party? Didn't she just have one?" Sean remembered clearly. "Tell me where you are.""I... Sean, I've got to go. I can

Sean was only in his second year of college, but he had already finished all his courses and was even starting clinical trials.That was pretty rare at Vista University, and even the colleges in Capiton wished Sean would join them. However, as talented as Sean was, he did not rush through his education. He took everything one step at a time.Many people did not know that Sean was not just thinking about where to do his hospital residency. He had his eye on a hospital he wanted to buy.Joanna was studying medicine too and was a year behind Sean. She was smart and pretty, which made her popular with teachers and students. She got along great with the older students.She had watched a clinical trial with some seniors and got to know them better, especially Sean.Sean might not have noticed, but almost everyone at the college knew Joanna liked him.Today, she was the secret organizer of a get-together that was supposed to be for the seniors, but she made sure Sean was invited.Every

Tania's ruckus drew the attention of several onlookers.Worried about bumping into someone they knew, Liliana quickly ushered Tania away. They had barely made it to the staircase when a melodious voice floated in from behind, "Sean, we owe our fun at The Majestic Lounge to your popularity!""There's no need for that!"Liliana froze, steadying Tania with one hand and leaning on the wall with the other, using Tania's body as a shield. That was when she spotted Sean with an elegant-looking girl in a pale pink dress.They appeared quite close, the girl chatting away and gazing at Sean.Sean was leaning in, listening intently to her words.A few guys were trailing behind them, and upon hearing the girl, they joked, "Hey Joanna, why are you just thanking Sean? What about us?"Liliana's heart raced as Sean and his companions neared. As Sean approached, she quickly grabbed Tania's hand, using it to hide her face.Liliana’s sharp tug gave Tania a twinge of pain. She began to grumble, "L

Liliana got ready. She was excited as she headed out. She had not seen Tania, who looked tanned from the sun and was full of energy, in a month.Tania waved to Liliana from far away. "Liliana, over here!"I'm going to take you to a cool place today!""Where?"Tania pulled Liliana close and whispered, "We're going to a bar!""A bar?" Liliana was curious. "What for?"Tania giggled. "A friend gave me this.” She showed off a shiny gold card. "He said it's time for me to see more of the world!"Liliana grabbed the shiny gold card, and her eyes widened in shock. "The Majestic Lounge?" She stared at Tania, puzzled. "How did you get this?"Not just anyone could get their hands on a gold card from The Majestic Lounge. Most people would not know anything about the place, but as Charles's sister, Liliana was in the know. The Majestic Lounge was one of Charles's private businesses and a secret to most outside the family. Layla had a gold card and often hung out there with her friends.Lil

Charles was unusually quiet for a moment, his finger pressed to his lips as if deep in thought. "Are you really ready to walk away from the Smith family's huge estate? You know your dad is the only one holding it up right now, and no one even knows where your fourth uncle is!""Why are you so worried about me? Don't forget I have a brother. If the Jones family won't make room for him, he can just join the Smith family!"While everyone else was trying to claim their piece of the pie, Sean was looking for a way out.Charles knew that once Sean made up his mind, he would not budge. "Alright, I'll look into it for you. Once you're sure, I'll help you seal the deal!""You take care of it," Sean said after a pause. "Aren't you going to check out the commotion downstairs?"Charles glanced down, pulling back his gaze. "Her feelings for you...""Let's not go there. I can't handle that," Sean interrupted, thinking about Layla's haughty behavior earlier and her rudeness toward Liliana. His

Liliana's brow creased slightly. She could not figure out why Layla always seemed to pick fights with her, even though she tried to stay out of Layla's way.Layla stared at Liliana with a sharp gaze. Noticing Liliana's hands were empty, she knew there was no gift for her. That was why Layla was giving Liliana a hard time.Everyone was watching Liliana, and Layla was eager to see how she would handle the situation."Is today your birthday?"Liliana felt awkward with all eyes on her. She glanced at Sean and saw he was not going to step in. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. You never told me, so I thought your birthday was a few days away!""You..." Layla was taken aback by Liliana's response. She scowled. "Didn't you come back just today before leaving again? I thought you were getting me a birthday present!" Layla bit her lip, looking sad. "You and Sean...""It was just a coincidence. Sean said he needed to talk to Charles, and I didn't realize it was for
