Chapter 951

Tania’s situation had everyone on edge. Peter was panicking, and so was Charles, who was worried sick about Tania and Brandon's health. To top it off, Nancy's condition was worsening by the day. She was supposed to get a bone marrow transplant from Tania, but since Tania was unwell, they had to rethink their plans. It was a real mess for Charles to deal with.Late at night, while everybody was sleeping, Charles was still up, giving orders to Ronald and the Kerlsberg crew. Noelle’s heart ached with worry as she watched Charles burn the candle at both ends.Charles had barely touched his dinner that night, so Noelle made some noodles and took them upstairs. She lingered outside his study, listening to him rattle off instructions on the phone. She burst through the door with her brow furrowed with concern, stopping him mid-sentence. "What's wrong?" He wrapped up the call with Ronald and hung up, his lips pressed together. "You heard all that?"Noelle nodded, her face etched with worry.

"I get it!" Noelle could not imagine breaking the news to Tania, Uncle Henry, or Aunt Nancy. It would just crush them. "How could this disaster strike after waiting for Tania to return for so long, just as she and Peter are about to reunite? Who's behind this mess? Charles, who have you and Peter pissed off?""I'm just as clueless!" Charles said with a hint of frustration. "If I had any idea, we wouldn’t have a problem. But there is someone who's looking pretty shady.""But what?""Forget it. Don't worry about it right now. How's the West City project you and Brian are working on for Colossus Group coming along?""We're nearly done with it. I heard from Mr. Parker that you're considering ditching Lennon Group," Noelle said as if a lightbulb had gone off in her head. "Is it because of Peter?""It's because of Tania!" Charles playfully tousled Noelle's hair. "The Lennon family has been on our case, and if I don't step up, they'll start thinking the Hoffmans are pushovers, won't they

Jack stayed silent while Xylos let out a weary sigh. "That boy is just like I was at his age. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He's not right for the Lennon family, and he's not right for Lennon Group. Both the company and the family are yours. When I'm gone, you have to look after Ari and Jamie. They're your only family left in this world, after all."Jack's grip on the documents suddenly tightened, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.Outside the door, Jamie clenched his fist tight, his face twisted into a grimace of malice that mirrored Jack's exactly.Xylos was determined that Peter would not return this time. The folks who used to shadow Peter's every move had bailed on Lennon Group to join Nexus Group, the new hotshot company that had skyrocketed to fame in Cascade City in less than three years."Get on it ASAP. I want the lowdown on Nexus Group!" Jack demanded, his eyes glued to the stack of papers before him. He glanced up at the woman standing a short distance a

"Jamie, h-how could you say that? I'm your mom!""Mom? Sometimes, I wish I'd never been born. You're all so messed up, and it's like you passed it down to me!" Jamie's eyes were like daggers, cutting right through Ari and Jack. "Do you ever wonder why I'd rather hang out with old Yasmin than Tania? Well, I learned from watching you. Like parent, like child, right? Tania calls me gross, but you two take the cake!""You little jerk!" Ari's hand flew up, and she slapped Jamie hard across the face. "You're spouting nonsense. You don't know anything!""I don't know anything?" Jamie rubbed his chin, wincing from the sting of the slap, but his gaze was still icy. "When I was four, I caught you sneaking into a room with some guy behind Dad's back. That was Jack, right? He’s my great-uncle!"Ari froze, stumbling back, her eyes wide with shock. "Jamie, I...""I can’t believe I wondered why Great-Grandpa was so nice to me. I realized I'm actually one of the Lennons, the kid of his favorite s

"Oh, and one more thing." The voice chuckled. "I've cooked up a new concoction of that virus from three years back. It’s way more potent than the original.""What did you do?" Jack's face twisted in anger. "Who did you test it on?""Your foes are my foes," came the flat reply. "It's in your stepson.""You... He's just a kid!" Jack's voice was a growl. "Why didn't you tell me beforehand?""Isn't this me telling you? You said you were going to handle that Peter brat, right? You were on board when I gave Peter's wife the virus three years ago," the voice was calm. "Besides, if it weren't for you, that kid would've gotten the virus a year ago. Thanks to you, the virus is now top-notch after a year of perfecting it.""Hand over the antidote!" Jack demanded, his anger palpable. "I'll settle my scores with Peter and the Lennon family on my own terms. Tania and Brandon shouldn't be dragged into this.""If they have any ties to the Hoffman family, they're far from innocent!" The voice on

Chapter 956

"Have you heard about Lennon Group? Their former CEO, the one and only Mr. Lennon, got kicked out. He's pretty legendary and was buddies with our boss, Mr. Hoffman. There was talk about us teaming up with Lennon Group, but Colossus Group ditched them after they landed in hot water. Lennon Group's golden boy, Jamie, came looking for Mr. Hoffman at our office. He tried a bunch of times but never got to see him.""Really?" Noelle was taken aback. She knew about Lennon Group drama but had no idea Jamie had actually shown up at Colossus Group searching for Charles.Knowing Charles, he would not give Jamie the time of day. Even if he was not part of the Lennon family, the way he treated Tania was beyond heartless. Charles not going after Jamie for payback was already a huge favor to Peter. However, with Jamie practically knocking on his door, how could Charles pass up the chance to settle the score?"What happened after that?""What's left to happen? I've heard Lennon Group's on its last

That evening, as Noelle and Charles chatted about the day's events, Charles grinned and gave Noelle's hand a playful squeeze. "Are you that curious about Nexus Group?""No, not really," Noelle replied, her gaze drifting toward the kitchen. "What's the deal with Tania and Peter anyway?" She had hoped that things between Tania and Peter would cool off after the recent drama, but they had lapsed into an awkward silence instead.Charles's smile faded into a thoughtful frown. "I don't know. That's between them."Noelle let out another sigh. "What about Mr. Smith's report? Is Tania healthy enough to go through with the surgery for Aunt Nancy?""We still don’t know. Sean's discussing it with Dr. Powell, and I’ve not been keeping up.” He and Peter were not medical experts, so they did not understand the specifics despite shadowing Sean."What are you two whispering about?"Tania walked in from the kitchen, drying her hands, with little Brandon in tow. "Charles, I had my check-up the othe

Marvin was at his limit and gave a weary nod. "I've never encountered a virus this difficult to deal with.""Neither have I," Sean admitted. He thought he had seen it all in medicine, but that virus stumped him. "Go home and get some rest. We'll continue tomorrow."Once Marvin had left, Sean leaned against the lab wall, exhausted.The whole ordeal with Tania had kept him away from home and his bed for days.Then there was the virus...Tania waited and worried for days, sensing that something was off. Everyone seemed to be keeping secrets from her. Her suspicions worsened when Nancy suddenly took a turn for the worse, slipping into unconsciousness.The doctors were clear: Nancy did not have much time left. A bone marrow transplant was her only shot at surviving, even if just for a few more years. Without it, Nancy was a goner.Nancy's doctor made sure Tania was far away before he spoke to Peter and Henry. However, they did not expect Tania to have her ears pressed to the door, ca

"I just don't get it," Tania said, her voice cracking with emotion. "Can’t you see my mom lying unconscious in that hospital bed? I just came back, and she's aged so much. I missed over twenty years with them, and then I stupidly left for another three years. I can't afford to lose any more time with her. Do you understand?""I do!" Peter replied, his voice heavy as he watched Tania's outburst. His eyes darkened, and he felt a pang in his heart. He wrapped his arms around her, soothingly rubbing her back. "I understand, Tania, but with the shape you're in, even if your mom gets the surgery, she might not pull through. It's risky, and I can't let you take that chance.""Are you worried about me or yourself?” Tania shoved Peter away. "You're not me. You can't understand. I lost twenty years with them, and just when we could have reunited, you made me leave Brookville. It's all my fault! All of it!""Tania!"Peter reached out to her, but Tania slapped his hand away.

"Don’t cry," Charles whispered as he wrapped his arms around Tania, gently patting her back. He waited until she settled down before he looked at the others and then Peter. "It's time she learned the truth.""I... What are you guys keeping from me? Why are you delaying the surgery?" Tania's confusion grew. She understood others being against the surgery, but if Charles was too, then something was definitely up.Tania scanned the faces of the men around her, noting their unusually grave expressions. She could not shake the feeling that something terrible was looming, and Peter's strained voice confirmed her fears. "Okay."Her heart skipped a beat, and she gripped the fabric of her sleeves so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her breathing sped up with anxiety.Peter caught Tania's gaze, sorrow flickering in his eyes. He stepped closer and took her hands in his, offering a gentle squeeze. "Whatever happens, I'm right here with you."Tania tried to wriggle her hand free, feelin
