Chapter 231

Quentin's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. He answered it. "Hello, am I speaking to Mr. Quentin Lowe? I'm a tenant on the eighth floor of Nexus Point. Could we get an extension for next month's rent? Our company's going through a bit of a rough patch at the moment…"Nexus Point was the office building Quentin had given to Xyla. Quentin frowned. "You should contact the building owner. I do not have the authority to grant extensions." He then hung up the phone.Just then, his secretary walked in with a folder. "Ms. Cadwell just sent this over, Mr. Lowe." Quentin opened it. Inside, there was a letter and a property deed for Nexus Point. He unfolded the letter. "Quint, I've decided to turn over a new leaf and start afresh in life, so I can't keep such a valuable gift from you anymore. I'm returning the deed to you now. When you're free to go through with the transfer, please have Martin contact me—Xyla."Quentin tossed the letter aside. "Put this away for now," he ordered

Noelle polished off a whole bottle of water that morning and was now parched. When she spotted a glass of water on the table, she grabbed it and took a big gulp. But she drank too quickly and choked, causing her to cough immediately."Slow down!" Quentin sprung from his seat, reaching across the table to wipe the water droplets around her mouth with a napkin. Noelle felt embarrassed. "Sorry about that. I ran out of water, and I was too lazy to go out to buy more, so I was very thirsty." Exasperated, he said, "From tomorrow onward, I'll get someone to deliver water to you every day."She was taken aback. "Y-You don't have to do that!"He glared at her. "Hurry up and eat!" He figured she was probably famished too, since she was that thirsty. Her eyes crinkled as she beamed at him, picking up a piece of lean meat and popping it into her mouth. Just then, someone else walked into the restaurant. Sawyer spotted Noelle right away, and his eyes lit up. He immediately walked over and

Chapter 233

After finishing their meal, Noelle and Quentin walked out of the private dining room and overheard someone say, "Professor Callahan, this way, please."Noelle glanced over and noticed several well-dressed young men escorting a modestly dressed middle-aged man toward them. The middle-aged man wore a pair of glasses and was in his mid-40s. He was handsome and carried himself well. If he had dressed differently, he could've passed for a professor. As if he had sensed her gaze, Elijah Callahan looked her way. When their eyes met, Noelle was certain that she had seen this man before. Elijah was also looking at her intently. There was something about the young woman before him that reminded him of that strikingly beautiful face from his past. Could she be her daughter?But he quickly dismissed that thought. Her daughter would surely be the apple of that person's eye, and she should be in Collinview. Elijah nodded at Noelle before walking into the private dining room with his students

After filling up the tank, Xyla pulled out a QR code for Quentin to scan, and he promptly paid. Meanwhile, Noelle went to the gas station's supermarket and bought two bottles of mineral water. As soon as she returned, she spotted Xyla in her gas station uniform and froze. Puzzled, she walked over to Quentin and gently squeezed his hand. It was too much of a coincidence for them to run into Xyla just as she was working as a gas station attendant.Quentin glanced at her, and he could see right through her. "Get in the car," he said. Perhaps Xyla had truly turned over a new leaf?When Noelle turned around, a car appeared in the opposite direction. The vehicle seemed to have lost control and was speeding toward her."Watch out!" A startled cry rang in Noelle's ears as someone shoved her aside. The car narrowly grazed Xyla before screeching to a halt.Noelle stared at Xyla, who had been knocked over by the collision, in disbelief. For a moment, she forgot to breathe. It dawned on he

The sun had already set when Emmie saw the message on her phone. "Elijah's back, Emmie! A few of our classmates in Dragfort are planning a get-together tomorrow at noon. I heard you're in Dragfort as well. Why don't you join us?"The message included a hotel location. The sender was one of her and Elijah's college classmates. Her fingers trembled, and her mind went blank.Just then, her phone rang. It was Michael. Emmie composed herself before answering the phone.Michael's low voice came through. "Have you gotten off work yet?" It was his last night in Dragfort, and he wanted to make it count.Her breath caught in her throat. This past week, he would attend meetings in the city in the morning and then come to this small town to have a secret rendezvous with her at night. However, Emmie didn't want this to continue. After all, he had Lia, didn't he? "I have to work overtime tonight," she said calmly.He sneered, "Don't play games with me, Emmie Fox. I'm well aware that Elijah Ca

There was a malicious glint in Michael's eyes that sent shivers down one's spine.Emmie looked at him but remained silent. The more she tried to explain her relationship with Elijah, the more she felt like she was digging herself into a hole."I'm hungry. Can we eat now?" A hint of resentment flickered in her clear eyes. His heart softened, and he let go of her. Emmie started to eat. The table was laden with her favorite dishes, but she couldn't taste anything. She wondered what her life would be like if she hadn't met this unreasonable man that year and been ensnared by him.Emmie shoveled the food in with little regard to its flavor because her heart ached, and she felt numb. She continued to eat beyond the point of satiety until she felt the nausea hit her like a freight train. Clutching her stomach, she retched. Michael looked over and asked nervously, "What's wrong?" Emmie shook her head, as her abdomen felt distended and uncomfortable. "Is your stomach upset?" He finally

Chapter 237

Yvette rolled up in her flashy Porsche to pick Noelle up on Saturday. Then, the two of them had lunch at a restaurant near the library.Yvette trilled, "Noelle, we have a new professor in the archaeology department! His name is Elijah Callahan, and I heard he's from the northwest. He's a great lecturer. Oh, and get this—he was also a top student at Collinview University back then. I looked him up on the Internet and found out he was a classmate of your mom's!"Yvette booted up her school's forum on her phone and scrolled to a post about Elijah. "Look, it's this guy!"Noelle looked at the picture and froze. So, his name was Elijah. It was the man she had seen the other day at Restaurant Blanc. But why had her father torn up a photo of Elijah? What was his relationship with her mother? Noelle was perplexed. Yvette continued, "I heard Professor Callahan is still single! He's handsome, charming, and a university professor; there should be a lot of women lining up for him, right? It'

Xyla appeared uneasy and anxious. "That's really not necessary, Quint! My leg is just fractured. It'll be fine after I go home and get some rest!""She's genuinely changed," he thought. Quentin looked at her sun-kissed face and her rough hands and felt complicated.Ignoring her protests, he called his acquaintance and arranged a hospital room for Xyla. Then, he said, "You don't have to go back to the gas station anymore. I'll find you a less demanding job."He paused before adding, "I hope you'll live an honest life." With that, he left. Xyla smirked as she watched him walk away. "In the end, you just can't ignore me after all, Quentin!"Quentin answered a call from Noelle as he walked out of the hospital. "Where are you?" she asked. Noelle missed him.He responded, "I'm at the hospital, picking up my mom's medical report.""Oh. Is everything okay?" she inquired. He answered, "Yeah, everything's fine."He hesitated for a moment and decided not to tell Noelle about his enco

Noelle continued, "Her colleagues told me that Xyla fractured her leg and was hospitalized. I think we should visit her first thing tomorrow. If she hadn't saved me the other day, I'd be the one lying in the hospital right now!"Quentin assumed she had gone to the gas station. "There's something I haven't told you, Elle. I ran into Xyla at the hospital when I went to collect my mom's medical report today. She fractured her leg, so I arranged a hospital room for her. Xyla has changed, Elle."With gentle eyes, he looked at Noelle. Her heart sank as she knew right there and then that Xyla's ploy had worked. She arched her brow and casually said, "Oh, that's quite the coincidence! I can't believe she was there to have her leg looked at right when you went to pick up your mom's medical report." Quentin's brows knitted as he realized she was hinting at something. "Perhaps she didn't realize that her injury was that serious yesterday." He didn't want to bring up Xyla again, knowing it wou

Chapter 240

Emmie was beside herself with worry. Her students had gone to the flea market in Liberty County during their break. On their way back, the cab they were in collided with a large truck. One of them was slightly injured, but the other female student was in critical condition.Her student was transferred from Liberty Hospital to the city hospital in the middle of the night, and she was still unconscious.Concerned about her student's condition, Emmie hung up the phone. She looked into the ICU and felt as if her heart was being squeezed when she saw her student covered in tubes. "Ma'am, please pay the hospitalization fees!" a nurse said after walking over.Each second in the ICU was expensive. Emmie rushed to the payment counter and paid a lump sum of 50 thousand dollars. When she turned around, she accidentally bumped into someone, causing the medical insurance card of the female student she was holding to fall to the ground. Emmie hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but a slender,
