Chapter 1291

"If you don't clarify your relationship with Shirley, it'll be really difficult for us to—""Move aside! Move aside!"The manager had only left briefly to see Shirley off but found the scene escalating once again after returning. Initially, the manager thought the reporters would disperse after Shirley left, but instead, the commotion grew louder and more chaotic.When the manager looked closely and realized who was involved, he was startled to see none other than the VIP he had been instructed to handle with the utmost care.Panicked, he rushed over with staff to block the reporters. He apologized profusely to Noelle."Apologies, Ms. Shaw. This is our oversight. We didn't expect things to get out of hand like this."Noelle frowned slightly but gave a small nod. "Understood.""Ms. Shaw, I hope you'll put in a good word for us with Mr. Wells—or rather, with Mr. Hoffman. I…" His servile demeanor made the reporters gape in disbelief.Noelle raised her eyebrows faintly. "I want to

"Why are you here again? I'm warning you, I have nothing to do with you. You're doing just fine at the Anderson family now, so don't—"Noelle frowned and immediately understood. Shirley had mistaken her for Kelly, which explained her overly emotional reaction.She gave a wry smile. "Ms. Shrill, you're mistaken. I'm not Kelly.""Then who are you?""Noelle," she said with a faint smile. "Hello, I'm Noelle Shaw."The moment Shirley heard Noelle's name, her emotions spiraled even further. "It's you. It's actually you!"Shirley stared at Noelle in a daze. She was visibly shaken and nearly lost her balance. If not for her manager holding her up, she might have collapsed."Get away from me! You're all here to settle scores—every one of you!"Shirley shoved Ellen aside and dashed away through the side corridor.Ellen hesitated, her gaze lingering on Noelle for a moment before he hurried after Shirley."This is…" Rowena found herself stunned by the situation. She glanced at Noelle, st

Chapter 1293

As Grant escorted Kelly out of the venue, his expression was cold and unreadable. Kelly, however, could sense his anger. He was furious at her for publicly exposing the Anderson family's affairs.Once inside the car, Kelly sat stiffly. Her heart trembled when she caught a glimpse of his frosty glare. "I…""Do you even know what you're doing?" Grant suddenly raised his head, his icy eyes boring into her.His gaze held no warmth, and Kelly's fleeting courage dissipated instantly. She forced a bitter smile. "What does it matter to you what I do?""I'm your brother. Tell me, does it have nothing to do with me?" Grant shot her a frigid look. "I kept wondering why you refused to return, and now, I understand. It's because of her. What? Twenty years ago, she abandoned you, and now, you still want to go back to her?""I don't!" Kelly's eyes reddened with fury. "A woman like her? She's not worthy!""Then explain to me what you're doing right now.""Why does a hypocritical and shameless w

Just as Noelle and her friends left the venue, Charles received news of Kelly's disruption. The manager had already reported the incident in detail.At that moment, Charles was engaged in a video call with an international business partner. The moment Ronald informed him of the situation, Charles immediately ended the call and looked up at Ronald. "Speak.""It seems Mrs. Hoffman also encountered some trouble today," Ronald began, recounting the events he had learned from the manager.As he finished, he glanced at Charles, whose enigmatic gaze made Ronald hesitate slightly before adding, "Mr. Hoffman, Mrs. Hoffman—"Charles raised a hand, cutting Ronald off, "You're saying Kelly went to the venue? And Grant was there too?""Yes. Apparently, Shirley turned out to be Ms. Anderson's biological mother. Ms. Anderson announced it publicly in front of all the reporters—it's unquestionably true. As for Grant, he didn't say much, but he made a few pointed remarks before taking Ms. Anderson

Chapter 1295

Charles' eyes darkened. "Alright."After hanging up the phone, he stared at the now-dark screen, his gaze unfathomable.It seemed Noelle had indeed been affected. Her tone from earlier and her sudden suggestion to return to Phoenix Tree Residence—a place that belonged to just the two of them—were clear signs.Today's events had undoubtedly struck Noelle harder than he had anticipated. Her mind was likely in turmoil, the web of connections becoming more tangled the more she tried to make sense of it.Instinct told her today's drama was somehow linked to her. Shirley's and Kelly's appearances were not unrelated, and the reporters' claims were not necessarily baseless.Even Noelle probably could not help but entertain unsettling thoughts after seeing Shirley and Kelly. While her intuition gnawed at her, logic insisted otherwise. How could she, an ordinary woman, be connected to a famous star or the Anderson family?…"Noelle, are you okay?"Teresa was the first to notice something

Charles carried Noelle to the living room. When he noticed she was only wearing a pair of flimsy slippers, his brows furrowed together. "Aren't your feet cold?""No," Noelle replied, shaking her head. However, when her gaze met Charles' dark eyes, she felt a sudden pang of guilt.She quickly lifted her feet and tucked them against Charles' thigh, trying to wiggle them under his clothes. "They're not cold anymore!"Charles narrowed his eyes but did not stop her from playing around. He squeezed her leg gently and felt the chill in her feet. "Don't do this again.""Got it."Noelle stuck out her tongue mischievously. "Why are you home so early today?""I missed you," Charles said in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of a nasal drawl.His words stunned Noelle. Her heart warmed, and she instinctively hugged him tighter, unwilling to let go. "I missed you too," she murmured.Charles seemed pleased with her affectionate display. He ran his hand over her head, soothing her restless

"You should know that not everything is as perfect as it seems. If you open that box—""Charlie, you don't need to say it," Noelle interrupted quickly. "I understand what you're trying to tell me, but I can't go on living in ignorance like this. Do you understand?""Nelly, you still have me," Charles said, his lips trembling slightly. For the first time, he felt a deep ache for her.She was just a young woman, someone who deserved to live carefreely—not consumed by suspicion and doubt."I know you're good to me."However, Charles' kindness did not negate her need to uncover the truth. She understood he was worried about her, but sometimes, if she did not seek out the truth, she would remain trapped in a life of lies."Alright." He relented, knowing her determination. "If that's your decision, I'll stand by your side and face it with you. But promise me, no matter what happens, you won't harm yourself. Okay?"Thinking of Kelly, Noelle furrowed her brows before nodding. "Okay!"S

Chapter 1298

"Yes," Charles confirmed."Why are you asking about her?"Nancy knew Charles' personality. He would not ask unnecessary questions unless something important was at stake.Meanwhile, Clarisse, who was sitting beside Nancy, grew restless. "Is that Charlie? Can I say a few words to him? What does Charlie want to know?"Charles could hear Clarisse's voice on the other end and instinctively wanted to hang up, but then he heard her say, "Shirley? Charlie, are you asking about Shirley?"Charles hesitated. "Aunt Nancy, let her take the phone."Nancy handed the phone to Clarisse. Her heart pounded, and she felt it might leap into her throat. "Charlie, um… How are you and Noelle today?""We're fine," Charles replied, holding onto his patience. "Do you know Shirley?""Yes, I do." Clarisse nodded, despite knowing he could not see her. "Back when I lived in Capiton, Shirley often spent time there too. The circle was small, so many of her affairs were well-known. What do you want to ask?""

Chapter 1299

"Why are you suddenly asking about him?" Sean sounded surprised. "You have to understand, I was just a kid when my uncle left home. He hasn't returned since."Charles frowned. "And all these years, you've heard nothing about him?""What news could there possibly be? My old man said that since Uncle Harrison didn't want to come back, he could just die out there. So, over the years, no one from the Smiths has even tried to find him."Besides, my uncle was never the kind to stick around. He didn't have any real ties to Brookville.""Hmm?" Charles pressed further. He was too young to have a clear impression of Harrison back then, so he was unsure if he had even met the man. Now, he had to rely on Sean for information.Yet from Sean's tone, it did not seem like he knew much more than Charles did."My uncle left Brookville early on and moved to Capiton. As for how he did over there, I was too young to know. It wasn't until later, when the Smiths declared that they had disowned him, tha

Chapter 1300

Noelle leaned against Charles's chest, brushing her teeth with her back to him. Suddenly, a thought seemed to strike her, and she paused. "Charlie, how about we go back to the Hoffman residence today?""Hmm?" Charles looked up. "Why?""I feel like it's too much for you to take care of me alone. You still have to work during the day." She was not a child anymore, and relying on him all the time seemed unreasonable. "Look, you've even lost weight lately!"As she spoke, she pinched his face gently. "It's my fault.""You!" Charles sighed, lightly pinching her nose. "Alright, hurry up and wash your face. After breakfast, we'll head to the office.""Really? You're taking me to the office?""Weren't you the one who suggested it?" Charles dampened a towel and handed it to her. "How's the temperature?""Perfect!" After Noelle finished washing her face, Charles carried her out of the bathroom. Dangling her legs as he held her, Noelle moved her head close to his ear and blew softly while
