Chapter 821

The expression on Milo’s face turned less ugly upon hearing that. At least Clarisse had not completely lost her mind yet and knew to use Mateo to keep things hush-hush. “Got it. I’ll take Janet back with me this time, but you must stay at the Hoffman household. You are Mateo’s wife and a daughter-in-law to the Hoffman family. The Hoffman residence at Brookville is your actual home!”Clarisse’s face turned pale upon hearing that. “Milo, what do you mean?” Was the Baker family planning to abandon her? “Did you or Father make this decision?” “Does it matter?” Milo asked. “There are plenty of things out of your control when you’re a member of the Baker family. I’m sure Father already told you everything when you became of legal age. We don’t just live for ourselves, but for the entire Baker family as well, Clarisse.” “Is that so?” Clarisse scoffed, feeling a chill wash over her. “Got it. I’ll stay at the Hoffman residence. Is there anything else you need, Milo?” “Tell me everything

Not a match? Milo drew a shuddering breath. It was not easy for him to see his sister, who had always been supportive of him, change her mind so quickly. “Milo? What’s the matter?” When Clarisse did not get a reply from Milo, she asked again, confused, “What’s wrong?” “You watched Janet grow up, and you should know how she feels toward Charles. Are you really going to abandon her now?” Milo asked before he took a deep breath and said, “Clarisse, about Janet…” “Milo, there are some matters that you just can’t force if Charles isn’t willing to agree. Both you and I know perfectly well that Charles doesn’t like Janet that way. Yes, I was supportive of their marriage before this. I watched Janet grow up, so I know her well and am extremely fond of her. Naturally, I want my son to marry a good-looking girl. But Janet’s illness… Isn’t Hilary the perfect example? She killed herself after killing her husband. Do you want Charles to end up like Hilary’s husband?”“That’s different!” Mi

Milo hung up the phone and silently lit himself a cigarette before he turned to look at Janet, who was sound asleep in the room. He got changed and then made a phone call. “Let’s meet up at our usual spot!” The ‘usual spot’ Milo referred to was a hotel that did not seem to have anything special about it. However, these ordinary-looking spots always served as the best meeting spots. The individual who met Milo here was the person who had been spying on Charles’ household all this while. They utilized all their connections to spy on Phoenix Tree Residence, the external areas of Collosus Group, and the Hoffman residence. “Has Ms. Baker been acting differently in any way recently?” “Different? What do you mean, Sir?” The man who answered Milo was Hogan Lowe, the man leading the mission to spy on Charles. “I’m referring to Janet’s emotions.”“Nothing particularly different. Ms. Baker usually does not get involved in any incidents, but…” “But what?” Milo immediately asked as he

“Get rid of it!” Milo picked up his phone as another text from Ronald came in. “We received this information just a short while ago. Someone sent Ms. Baker these pictures the night of New Year’s Eve, and it was after seeing these pictures that she lost control of her emotions and accidentally injured Mr. Mateo and Madam Clarisse.” Milo pursed his lips, his brows knitted so tightly together that they were practically in a knot. He stared intently at the contents of the message, unable to stop himself from trembling violently. “That child’s face!” “Sir?” Hogan noticed something amiss about the look on Milo’s face. “Is something wrong?” “Nothing. Continue keeping watch on Charles. I’m leaving tomorrow, but update me if you have any news.” Milo pocketed his phone and hurried off. Hogan gazed at Milo as he left and waited until he was gone before he retrieved his phone from his pocket and made a phone call. “Mr. Wells.” “How did it go?” “Exactly as you predicted. Milo frea

As promised, Milo visited Clarisse, who was receiving treatment at the hospital. Clarisse did indeed look like she had sustained severe injuries. She had an odd expression and merely invited Milo to sit upon his arrival. “You must be here because of what happened yesterday, Milo! But I’ve made myself clear. I won’t be able to provide any more help on the issue regarding Charles and Janet.” Milo lost his temper upon hearing that. “We’re siblings. I’m sure we can find some other things to talk about.” Why did Clarisse immediately have to annoy him? Clarisse’s lips fluttered. “Go ahead, then. What else do we need to talk about?” “You… Fine. I admit, it’s about yesterday. Um…” Milo fell silent for a brief moment. “I’m here to ask you a question!” “Alright, go ahead!” Clarisse readjusted her breathing and leaned against the headboard to gaze at Milo. “I won’t turn your request down if I can help out .” Milo hesitated briefly before asking, “Did Janet mention a child while she was

"What's your view on it?""Your mother seems unaware of the situation, but it's likely she knows more about Kelly's matter. Your uncle is definitely hiding something from her, and it's probably related to Janet. As for that child… I believe the child does exist."Charles raised a hand. "Go and find out. Do we still have contacts in the Capiton from three years ago?""We do, Mr. Hoffman," Ronald replied with a smile, recognizing that Charles was serious this time.Charles had always avoided harsh actions as long as there was room for compromise. For the sake of his connection to Clarisse, he had refrained from taking drastic measures. However, since the Bakers had now decided to force his hand, Charles was not going to hold back."I'll gather our contacts and start working in Capiton. But what about your mother?" Ronald asked cautiously, mindful that Clarisse was still connected to the Bakers.Charles' lips curled slightly. "Do it. You don't need to worry about that." Since Milo h

Chapter 827

Peter knew that the only way to bring Tania back was through Nancy. As Tania's mother, Nancy held the key. If she asked Tania to return, Tania's sense of duty and filial piety would compel her to come back.This plan would undoubtedly hit Tania's weak spot and be the easiest way to persuade her. However, Noelle found it a bit puzzling. "If Aunt Nancy could really convince Tania to come back, then why didn't Peter ask for her help earlier? Why wait three years?"Charles explained, "Time can heal a lot of things. When Tania made up her mind to leave, even Uncle Henry and Aunt Nancy couldn't have stopped her."Forcing her to stay back then wouldn't have repaired anything between her and Peter. On top of that, Uncle Henry was prejudiced against Peter at the time. Even now, Peter still faces opposition from him.""So, Uncle Henry can't find out that I'm inviting Aunt Nancy over?" Noelle asked, finally understanding. "And that's why you're making me call Aunt Nancy instead of doing it yo

"What are you standing there for?" Noelle walked over, handing Charles the coat. "Here, put it on! Sure, you're healthy, but it's cold out there. You'd better bundle up. Getting sick over the festive season wouldn't be good."For some reason, Noelle seemed especially chatty today. Her soft, steady voice buzzed in Charles' ears like a little magpie chirping away. Yet, instead of finding it annoying, Charles found it soothing.Seeing Charles standing frozen in place, Noelle laughed softly. She then draped the coat over his shoulders.Charles reached out, grasping her hands. His eyes were filled with warmth as he gave her hand a gentle pat and smiled. "Nelly, don't we look like we're wearing matching outfits?"Matching outfits?Noelle blinked, then glanced down at her own coat before looking back at his. A chuckle escaped her. "It does look like it, doesn't it?""Let's go." Charles's voice softened as he gave her hand a gentle squeeze. He then led her out the door.The two made the

Charles drove onto the highway, then took an exit, heading in the direction of Homestyle Garden House.Noticing the route, Noelle asked, "We're going to...""Homestyle Garden House," Charles replied.Noelle nodded, turning to Nancy. "Aunt Nancy, did you know that Homestyle Garden House is a garden house I co-own with a close friend? Would you like to stop by for a visit?""Sure!" Nancy smiled. "A garden house? What made you decide to open one?""It's just a hobby. My grandfather taught me how to make tea when I was young, and my friend happens to love tea as well."Before long, they arrived at Homestyle Garden House. Noelle helped Nancy out of the car, with Charles following closely behind.Teresa, who had just been chatting with Noelle in their group chat minutes ago, was surprised to see her walk through the door. She raised an eyebrow at the sight of the elegant woman accompanying Noelle. "Noelle, who's this?""This is Aunt Nancy. She's Charlie's uncle's wife," Noelle introd

Nancy nodded. "Your grandfather has a good eye." Although she had never met Sebastian in person, she had heard of him many times, especially because he was Charles' mentor and had a profound influence on him.She glanced at Charles, who raised an eyebrow and smiled. He then took the teaware from Noelle, carefully rinsing the pieces."Yes, his taste is truly impeccable," he said.Noelle chuckled. "Why do I feel like you're bragging?"Charles gave a soft laugh. "Whatever you say goes."Nancy and Teresa shared a laugh at that.Suddenly, footsteps echoed outside, approaching the room.Noelle tilted her head in curiosity and looked at Charles just as a knock sounded on the door. She gave Charles a questioning glance. He stood up calmly, walked to the door, and opened it.Standing tall in the doorway was a man. Though he seemed to have come in a rush, he looked composed without a trace of disarray. The usual intensity that clung to him was noticeably absent.Noelle was not surprised
