Chapter 1021

Noelle bit down on her lip. “I don’t know how to answer that question. All I want to know is if you chose to marry me simply because of who I am or not.” Charles let out a chuckle as he walked over and sat down beside Noelle, reaching an elegant finger out to gently pinch her nose. “Yes, simply because you are who you are.” Noelle laughed. "Alright, I trust you. Even if you’re lying to me, you’ll have to lie to me for the rest of my life!” She smiled at Charles as she added, “It’d be best if you could lie to me for the rest of my life, and please tell me the truth if you can’t do that! I’m not one to continuously pester someone else. Do you understand that?” “Yes!” Charles nodded. As Noelle stood up and made to leave, he also got to his feet and reached out to her. “Everyone thinks you guys are the same, but what about you? Do you find yourself the same as her, too?” Noelle had a stunned look on her face as she shook her head. “I’m my own person.” Charles smiled. “That’s grea

Chapter 1022

Kelly curled her hands into fists, feeling discomfort washing over her as an image of Noelle’s face materialized within her mind. No one ever felt at ease when seeing someone who looked like they did, and the fact that Noelle was Charles’ wife did not help. Becky noticed these minute details about Kelly as well, and she shook her head. During the short time Noelle and Kelly confronted each other, Kelly had observed and noted that their performances were miles apart. Kelly did not hold even a candle to Noelle. After teaching Kelly how to use the photocopy machine, Becky returned the materials to Charles’ office. “Mr. Hoffman. Ms. Shaw bumped into Ms. Anderson as she was headed upstairs, so…” Becky repeated everything she had seen and heard just now. Charles, on the other hand, did not say much after hearing everything and merely waved a hand and beckoned for Beky to leave the room. Just before she left, he instructed, “Allocate more tasks for her. The secretariat department has plen

When Noelle returned to the office, she bumped into Brian, who immediately waved at Noelle when he spotted her. “Noelle, come over!”Noelle set down the things she was holding before she walked over. "Mr. Parker, you wanted to see me?” Brian nodded. “Focus on your work. Don’t let your emotions hinder your productivity!” That sentence alone was enough for Noelle to immediately understand what Brian meant, and she immediately raised an eyebrow as she smiled. "Mr. Parker, I’m sure today isn’t our first time meeting, so you should know that I’ve always been one to keep my work and personal life separate!” “That’s good to hear!” Brian said as he nodded. "I do not wish to see anyone in my team hindering progress because of personal matters.” As Brian spoke, he beckoned for Noelle to step into his office. “Here’s the project plan we agreed on yesterday. Mr. Hoffman and the others have decided this will be the final proposal.” Noelle nodded. “Yes, sir!” She had also briefly spoken abo

Noelle reached a hand out. “Stop right there. There is absolutely no relationship between myself and Kelly Anderson!” A slightly rueful expression appeared on her face as she said, “As for my relationship with Mr. Hoffman… You can try figuring that out!” Finally, Noelle gave Arya a long, knowing look as she said, “It’s getting late. Are you sure you want to spend your time talking to me instead of completing your work?” “Ah, work.” Arya hurriedly got to her feet. “I’ve got a bunch of numbers that I haven’t crunched yet. But, Noelle, don’t think you can avoid this question. I’ll come over to you after the workday has ended!” For Arya to come over to Noelle after the workday would be impossible because she had called Charles the minute work ended for her to discuss if they should have dinner out or at home for that day. However, before they arrived at a conclusion, Noelle found her way blocked.Noelle held her phone in one hand and used her other hand to tap her access card and let

Kelly was rather stunned by what Noelle had just done. She thought she had the upper hand in this situation, but now it seemed she had lost to Noelle. Noelle was so calm it seemed she did not view her as a threat in the slightest. Upon noticing Kelly had nothing to say in response, Noelle smiled. “How about this, Ms. Anderson? It’s been so many years since you were last in the country, and Brookville is such a rapidly changing area of town that I’m sure there are plenty of places that are no longer recognizable to you. I grew up in Brookville, so why don’t I take you on a tour?” A wave of awkwardness washed over Kelly as she forced herself to nod. "That sounds great. Thank you, Ms. Shaw.” The corner of Noelle’s lips curved upward. "No trouble at all. After all, I’m Charles’ wife, and your families have been friends for decades. Playing host on his behalf is part of my duties. He’s an extremely busy man and may not have much time to spare you. If you like, you can always come to m

Chapter 1026

Noelle's words hit Kelly square in the face, leaving her speechless and unable to continue. She had not expected Noelle to be so sharp-tongued. She was able to counter everything she said. It left Kelly at a bit of a loss.Three years ago, there had been many people around Charles, and Kelly had managed to deal with them all one by one. She believed that any woman interested in Charles was only after his power, status, and wealth. Picking out just one of these factors was usually enough to scare off any woman trying to get close to him.Initially, Kelly had assumed Noelle was the same kind of woman. Now, she realized Noelle was not going to be easy to deal with.As she smiled faintly, Noelle noticed Kelly falling silent and decided not to say anything further. She continued driving in silence, but when they reached their destination, Kelly looked slightly confused. "Ms. Shaw, did you perhaps bring me to the wrong place? This isn't…"Noelle raised an eyebrow slightly. "No, this isn'

Teresa opened the door to the private room. "Ms. Shaw, Ms. Anderson, please come in!"As Noelle and Kelly entered, Teresa gently tugged on Noelle's hand. "Ms. Shaw, a new batch of tea arrived a few days ago. Would you like to take a look? Since you've brought your friend, perhaps you'd like to try it?""Sure!" Noelle nodded. "Ms. Anderson, would you mind waiting a moment?""Not at all!" Kelly agreed, setting down her bag and taking a seat. She thought it was just as well that Noelle stepped away; she needed time to figure out how to deal with her. No matter what she did, Noelle seemed unfazed and could quickly counter her, leaving Kelly uncertain.She had returned to the country not just for that man but also for herself—for her lifelong happiness. She regretted what happened three years ago. Now that she had the chance to come back and stand by his side once more, she did not want to give up.Teresa led Noelle aside. "What's going on? Who is this Ms. Anderson, and why is she with

"Know your enemy and know yourself!" Noelle was not foolish. "She took the initiative to look for me today. If I hadn't accepted her invitation, wouldn't that have made me seem insecure? I'm Charlie's wife now. Why should I be afraid of her?""Well, I'm glad you're finally showing some backbone," Teresa said, patting Noelle on the shoulder. "Alright then. Go entertain your love rival!""Love rival? She doesn't quite qualify yet."When Noelle entered the room carrying the new tea, she saw Kelly brewing tea. Her movements were meticulous, clearly indicating that she had been immersed in this art since childhood and had developed her own style.Kelly noticed Noelle coming in. "Ms. Shaw, come and have a taste. Charlie always loved the tea I brewed!"Noelle smiled softly. "Is that so? Then I must give it a try!"She accepted the teacup Kelly handed over, holding it delicately and inhaling its rich aroma. "Ms. Anderson, you have excellent skills!""You're too kind! My family taught me

Kelly's eyes held a hint of scrutiny and surprise; this was the second time she seriously observed Noelle.The first time was in Charles' office earlier that morning. Back then, she thought Noelle was nothing special, merely someone who happened to share her face. Without that face, she probably amounted to nothing.However, Kelly was mistaken. The tricks she intended to use on Noelle had not even been deployed, yet Noelle had already countered them, leaving Kelly caught off guard.Noelle smiled faintly. "Every new experience deserves a chance. Or is it that you're so accustomed to the tea you brew that you're unwilling to try someone else's craftsmanship?"Kelly paused, then let out a light laugh. "Ms. Shaw, there's no need to be so aggressive. It's just a cup of tea!" She accepted the cup, brought it to her lips, and inhaled the fragrant aroma. After taking a small sip to moisten her throat, her expression did not look too pleased."What do you think?""Not bad!" Kelly took a

Charles grasped Noelle's hand, wrapping it completely within his palm. "Because I know my wife wouldn't let anyone bully her. She might bully others, but no one can take advantage of her!"Noelle narrowed her eyes. There was a smile gleaming in them. Still, she pretended to be angry and pulled her hand away. "I don't believe you!""Then what will make you believe me?" Charles reached out and held her hand again. "Do I have to take out my heart and show it to you?""I'd love that, but even if you did, I wouldn't be able to see it!" With Charles holding her hand, Noelle's fingers playfully tickled his palm. "Why did you come over?""I was worried about you," Charles replied. "And besides, I'm hungry.""You haven't eaten yet?" Noelle exclaimed but quickly added, "Actually, I haven't eaten either!" She hadn't felt hungry earlier—probably because she had been on high alert. Now that Charles mentioned it, she realized she was starving."Let's go!" Charles stood up, set down the teacup,
