Chapter 11

Quentin nearly exploded in rage after receiving Dennis' message. He thought, "Isn't John Xenos even at all worried about his life?" Looking away from his phone, he asked Martin, "When is the Wilhelm Group's anniversary event again?"Martin answered, "It's in three days, Mr. Lowe."Quentin ordered, "Put in an expedited dress order at Eloise Moreau's studio. I'll attend the event with Noelle."Eloise Moreau was a renowned Franconian dress designer, whose dresses were priced at millions. An expedited order would mean a hefty payment.Martin was surprised at Quentin's decision to bring Noelle to a social event, as Quentin had never done that before. He quickly got into contact with their Franconian counterpart.Back at the botanical cafe, John had taken his allergy meds and had lunch at a corner far from the allergens. Because of that, his rashes went away. An hour later, when Noelle was paying at the cashier, the cashier informed her, "Miss, a Ms. Fox has paid for your lunch."N

Chapter 12

Since Noelle couldn't fight Quentin or shove him away, she let him be.Fortunately, he slept soundly without pulling anything funny on her. Similarly, she had a good night's sleep. To be honest, she was scared of sleeping alone. With him by her side, she had no fears about monsters and spirits, which helped improve her quality of sleep. She woke up to Quentin's voice from outside the room. He said, "If it has arrived, send it over. Yes. Send it to Noelle's place."She had no idea what he was talking about, so she glanced down from the window and noticed the flowers sitting on her balcony. They were all unique and different in their beauty.Quentin took the call near the flowers. Standing straight and bathing in the morning sunlight, he gave off an affable feeling. She fell into a trance over his charm and thought, "If only he didn't have another woman in his heart. That'd be nice."Quentin happened to turn around at that moment. Their eyes met, and she paused.Grinning, he tea

Chapter 13

At that moment, Martin interrupted them by knocking on the door.After shooting a glare at Noelle, Quentin went to answer the door. Martin showed up with a bag containing the evening dress that he had just received from the airport.He greeted them, "Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Lowe." Suddenly, he picked up on the tension in the air, and it made his skin crawl. He assumed they must have been fighting. To avoid being involved in the mess, he decided to leave soon.Quentin ordered, "Leave the stuff behind. You may go!"Martin was glad to hear that. "Sure, Mr. Lowe!" He sneaked out in no time.Quentin placed the shopping bag in front of Noelle. He commanded, "Attend the Wilhelm Group's anniversary event with me. It's in two days."She declined, "No. I won't!" Then, she coldly sat in her chair.She did not feel obligated to attend social events with Quentin as they were on the brink of a divorce. She had never attended events like that in the past. Now, she was all the more unwilling to go.H

Chapter 14

John had once guessed that Noelle was Quentin's admirer, but never in his wildest dreams had he imagined her as Quentin's wife—the elusive Mrs. Lowe in the rumors.It turned out that the man who picked up John's call yesterday wasn't just any lunatic. John assumed it had been Quentin.Meanwhile, Noelle attempted to shove Quentin away. "Go away! Aren't you ashamed to be doing this in public?"As she was trapped in his arms and pressed against the wall, she found that the air between them changed. Suddenly, her heart pounded wildly. She became more panicked.With a low chuckle, Quentin tilted his head to kiss her on her cherry lips, causing her body to stiffen in shock.What was more embarrassing was when she saw John over Quentin's shoulders. The toe-curling embarrassment made her blush. She realized Quentin must have kissed her on purpose.Once John walked away, Quentin let go of Noelle. She hit him with her clutch before storming away.He pursed his lips, which tasted of her.

Noelle paused. Quentin's words made sense. After some hesitation, she followed him out of the car.Before entering the villa, she stopped in her tracks. She stated, "We agreed that you'll sleep on the second floor, while I take the room on the first floor. We're sleeping in separate rooms, and you can't force me to do anything I don't want to!"He looked speechless at how unnecessarily vigilantly she behaved around him, but he agreed. "Okay!" Noelle grabbed a few pieces of clothes from the bedroom upstairs—gifts from Quentin that she hadn't brought with her when she left Windsor Villa, which could be of use during her short stay.Noelle was tired. She went to sleep after a shower. The lights were still on in the second-floor bedroom. There, Quentin made a call to Martin. "Look into the purpose of Lia Woodworth's visit." After a pause, he added, "Check if Michael Xanthos is here too."He was lying when he told Noelle that Michael was in Dragfort.Martin replied, "Of course, Mr. L

Chapter 16

Noelle finally came to terms with the fact that Quentin had never loved her. She shouldn't have delusionally believed that she was important to him just because he showed her some affection.Compared to Xyla, she meant nothing to him.In the afternoon, Noelle received another provoking message from Xyla. Xyla wrote, "Noelle Xanthos, so what if everyone knows you as Mrs. Lowe? With a call, I can get Quentin rushing to my side. Why do you keep clinging to him? You should know better. I am the woman he loves, and if you stick around him, you'll only make a joke out of yourself."Quentin's decision to attend the event with Noelle seemed to have upset Xyla. For a second, Noelle held her breath as she read Xyla's message.Janet happened to call Noelle at that time. Noelle answered the phone and heard Janet saying, "Elle, come over tonight to check out the outfits I bought for you!""Sure, Mom." Noelle tried her best not to let her frustration show.In the evening, Noelle traveled to

Chapter 17

Xyla scoffed at Noelle. What was the point of hogging the title of Mrs. Lowe when she couldn't win Quentin's heart? How pathetic!Quentin made it back to Lowe Mansion in haste. There were specks of dust on his always perfect and ironed suit. When she stared at the specks of dust, Noelle felt a stinging pain. Quentin, who had always been immaculate about his appearance, did not bother to dust off his suit in his hurry. That went to show the depth of his love and concern for Xyla."Apologize!" Fred's anger ballooned when he saw his heartless grandson. He wondered if Quentin still recalled what Xyla had done to him.Quentin paused. In his memory, the only time Fred demanded a public apology was when he accidentally ruined the belongings of his late grandma, Ruth Feather.Still, he dared not go against Fred's orders. After apologizing, he asked in a disgruntled tone, "But Grandpa, what have I done wrong?"His question only fueled Fred's anger. Fred barked, "How could you ask that qu

Chapter 18

Quentin had sworn off ever having slept with Xyla. So, what was with the social media posts by Xyla? How about the rumors that he was keeping a mistress at a separate residence? Was that untrue?Given Quentin's ego, he might not even bother to lie over such trivial matters. Deep in thought, Noelle made her way to the second floor. At the same time, Janet folded her arms with an amused expression, seemingly waiting for Quentin to bungle up. "Explain to me the rumors of you keeping a mistress. What's with Cedarfield Villa?"Quentin put on a stern look. His patience had worn thin. He snapped, "Those are baseless rumors!" With that, he rose from the couch and went to the second floor, leaving the angry Janet in the living room.Noelle was about to take a rest when Quentin entered the bedroom. Before addressing her, he closed the door behind him. "Later, tell them that you're heading back to work. I'll leave with you. Xy is hospitalized, and she seems to be in a severe condition. I n

"No thanks. I'll get a taxi," said Noelle as she exited the car.Quentin glanced around. He felt reassured by the area's surveillance and the frequent passing of taxis."Take care," Quentin said. His tone was unusually gentle."I will," Noelle replied before closing the car door.Quentin watched as she stood on the roadside while trying to hail a taxi. She looked skinny. After that, Quentin drove off.Noelle waited for a taxi, but a car without license plates pulled up instead. It seemed like it had been waiting for the perfect opportunity. The unlicensed car stopped abruptly before Noelle as Quentin's car disappeared from view. Several thugs emerged from the car and surrounded her."What are you guys doing?" Noelle exclaimed in shock.One of the thugs, Andy, grinned at her and joked, "What do you think we're doing? What do you think a bunch of guys and a lady would be doing?"The rest of them laughed as if it was a big joke. Noelle quickly reached for her phone in her handbag

Chapter 20

Quentin's heart started racing, and he felt lightheaded. His phone slipped from his hand and fell to the floor.Xyla, who had been sleeping, was suddenly jolted awake. She asked, "What's going on?"Quentin picked up his phone and said, "Elle's in trouble!" Then, he rushed out of the ward and left Xyla frozen.It was then that her phone rang. Gloria handed the phone to Xyla to answer. After a few moments, Xyla yelled into the phone, "Useless!"Meanwhile, Quentin was speeding through the streets in his car and running several red lights. All he could think about was that he might have caused Noelle's death.Police tape surrounded the crime scene on South Bay Street, and a swarm of police cars arrived. Quentin quickly parked his Maybach and hurried toward the scene. He nearly stumbled over the uneven street, but a police officer caught him."Sir, I'm sorry for your loss," said the officer.Quentin shoved the officer's hand away from him. He couldn't believe that Noelle was gone.H
