Chapter 171

“Indeed, you’re no worse than I am. In fact, you’re even better than I am, and there’s nothing about me that’s better than you. Winter Shaw, is there something wrong with you?” Noelle did not understand how Winter’s prejudices toward her had formed. “Whatever. I can’t be bothered talking to you.”“What do you mean you can’t be bothered? I think you’re just scared! Makes sense, though. I heard Simon has some odd in-bed fetishes. You and him…” Winter grinned, the evil look in her eyes difficult to disguise. “You’ll never be able to escape, Noelle Shaw!”“You’re not the one who gets to decide whether I escape or not!” Noelle countered, her eyebrows knitting themselves together. “Good luck does not always favor you, Winter!” Noelle said as she walked past Winter and into the bathroom. As Winter stood at the entrance and watched Noelle walk away from her, the corner of her lips curved up into a long, knowing smile. The fact she had to interact with Winter when all she wanted to do w

Chapter 172

A fragrant aroma wafted through the dimly lit room. Simon immediately noticed what was different about the room when he walked in, and he frowned slightly as he switched on the lights. A sharp look appeared in his eyes when he saw the familiar-looking figure lying in bed, but the expression on his face remained unreadable. He hurriedly pursed his lips together and held his breath.Living full-time with the York family meant he always had to be on his guard, and it was the same now that he had stepped into this small trap.A sleazy look appeared in Simon’s eyes as he smirked. Things were getting interesting. He had not expected to end up as their target. However, the look in his eyes changed once again as he looked at the person lying in bed. Tough luck for her!“Mr. Hoffman, she’s gone!” Ronald had noticed what was going on in Noelle’s room almost immediately. He had overheard every bit of Winter’s conversation with Simon and realized the severity of the situation. “Mada

The look in Jacob’s eyes darkened as he tightened his grip on his phone. “Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Hoffman. I’ll look into it right away!” Jacob took action quickly and soon learned that Simon was not at home. After double-checking with the hotel employees, he discovered that Simon was, in fact, at the hotel and had met with the Shaw family.The entire York family soon learned of this news, and Norman York even called up Simon himself.When Simon got the call from Norman, he was watching Noelle roll amongst the sheets as she battled the heat building inside her. An odd look appeared in his eyes as he cleared the smoke from the room and destroyed all the surveillance cameras placed within the room.Then, he broke a vase and used one of the shattered pieces to make a cut on Noelle’s arm. He bent down and took a close look at her face. She had skin so pretty that it was practically glowing, and there was not a single blemish on it. He reached a hand out to touch her face as

Chapter 174

Sean had never expected Noelle to still be the reason he visited Phoenix Tree Residence a second time.He gazed at the woman lying in bed and the man standing guard by her. A spark appeared in his narrow eyes as he watched the other man’s careful, considerate movements. He clicked his tongue, “Gosh, Charles, can this not always be the reason you reach out to me?” Sean spread his hands out, a rueful expression on his face. “This always happens just as I’m about to get some rest after completing a surgery.” “Well, might as well then, since it’ll give you something to do with your time. Come and take a look at how Nelly is doing,” Charles said solemnly instead of squabbling with Sean, which was a rare sight. A grim look appeared on Sean’s face as he gazed at Charles, and he could not help but shake his head. “I’ll take a look. But to be honest, it’d make more sense for you to reach out to any other general practitioner! I’m a—” Charles said impatiently, "Cut the crap! Attend to h

Charles glanced at Sean before turning back to Ronald. “Tell Lareal to find out whose instructions they were acting on. Feel free to use any unique interrogation methods he has should the need arise.” “Yes, sir.” Ronald nodded, realizing that Charles was truly angered this time.Sean raised an eyebrow. “Where’s Lareal? I’ll go hang out with him!” Charles looked at Ronald, who felt a feeling of helplessness wash over him. However, since it was Sean, there was nothing else Ronald could do other than say, “The usual spot.” The usual spot Ronald was referring to was the underground arena that functioned as Brookville’s largest meeting spot. There were plenty of legends surrounding that place. Not only was it a place where people went to entertain themselves, but it was also a living hell for those who did not know what was best for them. Sean’s gaze instinctively landed on Charles once again. He had not expected Charles to be taking things so seriously this time. He gave Charles a

Chapter 176

Noelle felt like she was floating mid-air in a dream-like world. In her dreams, a man held her hand as they took a walk together. When they grew tired, they lay on the grass to take a break. As she closed her eyes, the man leaned over and pressed a gentle kiss onto her lips. Noelle smiled. Things felt so sweet in the dream that she could not help but want more. She reached her arms over and wrapped them around Charles’ neck just as he was about to let go of her, burrowing herself onto Charles.The look in Charles’ eyes darkened. He used one arm to stabilize himself on the bed and lowered his gaze to look at Noelle, who seemed extremely happy. The corners of her lips curved upward as she tugged at him and called out, “Charles!” Although her voice was soft, he heard her. A glimmer appeared in his eyes as he lowered himself and kissed Noelle again. This time, though, the kiss was not a gentle one. He had always been someone who would do whatever it took to get what he wanted, eve

Chapter 177

Noelle felt like she had dreamed a long, long dream. In her dream, Charles held her hand in his as he led her forward. Although she did not know where the destination was, she still walked joyfully alongside him.Charles never let go of her hand and always stayed by her side no matter what happened. Noelle’s dream went on for extremely long. When she finally woke up, she gazed dazedly at the ceiling, seemingly still half-dreaming. The warmth in her palm surprised her slightly, and she turned her head in alarm when a thought struck her. She was met by the sight of a man fast asleep. The familiar-looking face was several times larger than what she usually saw. The man had such good skin that even a woman would be jealous of him, and there were shadows beneath his eyes, framed by a set of long eyelashes. Noelle was stunned as she recalled what had happened in the washroom. She remembered getting knocked out by a man but did not know what had happened after that. Her lips felt sligh

Chapter 178

Noelle ruffled her hair, feeling bashful after hearing Charles praise her. “Rowena taught me that. I think I’ve told you this before, but Rowena works as a reporter!” “Indeed. You’ve got a wonderful friend!” Charles said as he nodded. “Alright, since you’re awake, why don’t you go wash up and give your friend a call? She was extremely worried about you last night!” “Oh, right, I nearly forgot. Rowena must be worried sick!” Noelle said as she hurriedly tried to locate her phone. “Charles, have you seen my phone?” “It’s on the bedside cabinet!” Charles rarely saw Noelle this flustered and could not help but shake his head as he said, “Don’t panic. Who knows? She might not even be awake yet!” Despite saying that, he did not stop Noelle. After taking a quick shower, he changed into some loungewear before heading downstairs. It was only then that Noelle realized she must have spent the night in the same bed with Charles. Noelle instinctively bit down on her lip, and she turned t

Chapter 179

Noelle shook her head, unsure what she should say in response. When she looked up at Charles, she felt that he looked even better than he usually did. She also noticed that he had a perpetual grin on his face. “Are you in a great mood?” Charles raised an eyebrow. “Should I be unhappy instead?” That stumped her, and she did not have an answer for him. She pursed her lips as she pointed at his lips and then at hers. “Did something happen last night that I’m unaware of?” A smile that reached Charles’ dark brown eyes tugged at the corner of his lips. His smile was as warm and beautiful as springtime. Noelle gave an involuntary shudder. Charles’ smile was too beautiful for his own good. “Why are you smiling?”“Did you forget what you did last night, Noelle?” Charles asked, a look of interest settling across his features as he balanced one hand on the dining table and drummed his elegant-looking fingers against the tabletop. The way he looked at her made her feel like there was nowh

Chapter 180

The look on Charles’ face darkened slightly, and a foul aura began emanating from him. Noelle paused in the middle of eating her oatmeal, and she instinctively turned to Charles. “Is something wrong?” Charles immediately switched up the aura emanating from him and smiled at Noelle as he shook his head. “Everything’s alright!” His voice sounded calm, and no one could decipher any particular sort of emotion he was feeling. Then, he said to Ronald, “It’s alright if he’s chucked. As long as we got the stuff!” “He hasn’t been chucked yet, Mr. Hoffman. We’re just… getting ready for that,” Ronald said, unsure if he should laugh or cry. Why did both these men just do as they please? Charles frowned slightly. “Tell him to hold on. I’ll drop by and have a look later, but he can take care of everything else.” Ronald shuddered. He could just about imagine how bloody the scene would get later. Compared to Sean, Charles' methods were truly scary. “Alright, I’ll get Lareal to continue traci
