The more Sean tried to explain, the gloomier the lab felt. At last, Charles pounded his fist on the lab table, his eyes red and angry. He glared at the list of numbers and codes in Sean's hand, grinding his teeth. "I need the right answer, now!""Charles, where are you off to?"Sean was worried Charles might do something reckless, but there was no stopping him now. With no other choice, he called Steven. "Mr. Fischer, wherever you are, you'd better come to Brookville quickly and keep an eye on Charles. I've got a bad feeling something's about to go down." Anything involving Noelle was always serious business.Steven's brow was creased with worry as he hung up the phone with Ronald. He had just learned the details of a troubling situation, and then Sean was on the line, bringing more bad news. Steven's face was stormy as he listened. "Okay, I understand. Where are you right now? What's happening?""Noelle might have been injected with the same virus that Tania and Bran were!""What

"Just eat your food. I'll be back to clean up after you're done," the servant said, and with a loud slam, the door shut behind her."Who are you people? Why have you brought me here? What do you want?" Noelle shouted, rushing to the door and pounding on it with all her might. However, her cries fell on deaf ears. No one came for her.Noelle shouted for help, but it was like she was invisible. Her throat hurt from yelling, and her stomach growled with hunger. She looked around the room. It was nicely decorated, which made her think the person who brought her here must be rich.At first, Noelle did not want to touch the food. What if it was poisoned? What did her captor want with her?Then she realized that if they wanted to hurt her, they could have done it at the hospital. They did not. They just made her pass out and brought her there. That meant they did not want her dead, or not yet, at least.She had to stay calm for her own sake and for the baby she was carrying.With a dete

Was Winter just a pawn for this guy, and he was using her to get what he wanted? However, he could have just had his own people take care of things. Why send Winter, another woman, after Noelle? That was what Noelle could not wrap her head around.His guys could have easily dealt with her without Winter getting in the way. "Are you using Winter to reach some goal of yours?"Jethro just frowned and stayed quiet.Noelle gripped her knife and fork tighter. "I've gone through City Ring Corp.'s books. There've been issues for two years now, but they were too small to notice at first. It wasn't until last year that the big problems started to show up. And then there was the trouble with my grandpa. Did Winter go to upset him at the hospital because of you? Was it you she met in that shady spot?"Noelle did not know why, but as she put the pieces together, she felt sure he was behind it all. "Why are you after City Ring Corp. and the Shaws?"My grandpa never did anything to you! And Wint

"Let me guess. You're not suggesting someone is hiding there, are you? But..." Sean was clearly skeptical, but he paused and looked over at Charles, who was gazing at the house with a thoughtful expression and a glint of something mysterious in his eyes."Charles?"With his lips pressed together, Charles turned to Bob. "We didn't bring many people with us. Do you have enough folks to help out?" Charles seemed remarkably calm.Bob smirked. "What's the catch for me?"Charles squinted slightly. "What kind of reward are you looking for?" He spoke so evenly that one could not tell he was upset, let alone that someone had kidnapped his wife.Bob's eyes twinkled with amusement. "I haven't thought of anything yet, Mr. Hoffman. You can just owe me a favor.""Sebastian!" Charles said sharply, and Bob's face stiffened. He met Charles's look with narrowed eyes, his smile disappearing. "Mr. Hoffman, what are you getting at?""Mr. Bob Smith, did your grandfather have a brother by any chance?"

Luckily, the old woman did not lock the room today. Noelle peeked out the window for a long time. The guards outside looked tough, but she noticed they switched every fifteen minutes. She did not have much time to escape without being seen. The room was pretty empty with just some furniture. Noelle was on the second floor and remembered the tiny window in the bathroom. Could it open? She dashed to the bathroom and pushed the window open—it worked! Peeking down, she saw it was not too high. If she tied the bed sheets tightly, she could climb down safely. She just needed to time it right, slipping out during the guards' switch so they would not spot her.Noelle thought to herself and hurried into her room, trying to rip the sheets with all her might. However, it was harder than she thought it would be. With no scissors around, she had no choice but to look at the plate she had finished eating from that morning. She grabbed the plate, dashed to the bathroom, and shut the door a
