Chapter 10

Penulis: Grimwood
Inside the hospital room, a strong hand slid around Yvette's slender waist.

Noel's sudden appearance shocked not just Yvette, but Lulu as well.

"Y-you're supposed to be at Skyline Corp," Lulu stammered.

She'd gotten word early that morning that Noel was at Skyline Corp. She'd even had Bruce call David to make sure Noel got a "proper welcome."

But what she never expected was that he'd show up right in front of her like nothing had happened.

"Surprised to see me?" Noel's eyes were cold as he stared at Lulu. "You really think a bunch of weaklings from Skyline Corp can take me down? And who do you think you are, asking my wife to get on her knees and beg you?"

His words hit Lulu like a slap. Her face went pale.

"You're just a country bumpkin. How dare you talk to me like that? Do you think just because Grandpa favors you, I can't do anything about it?"

A dark, dangerous glint flashed in Lulu's eyes as she looked down at Yvette with a commanding air.

"Yvette, you want me to approve

    By the time they got back to Quinton Manor, the black sedan had vanished into the thick night.But that faint, lingering threat seemed to hang in the air around the house."Looks like we're not dealing with just one ambush," Noel said with a cold glint in his eyes as he glanced around Quinton Manor.Just from stepping out once, assassins had already infiltrated Quinton Manor. It was clear they had planned this long ago and obviously knew the family's every move."I drank too much tonight. I'm gonna shower and crash," Yvette said from the bedroom. "Same as always—I'll take the bed, you take the couch."She shot Noel a quick look, then shrugged off her jacket and disappeared into the bathroom.Soon, the sound of running water filled the room.Noel glanced over and noticed Yvette had forgotten to close the bathroom door. Through the curtain, he took in her perfectly curved silhouette.At that moment, a faint breeze whispered outside the bedroom balcony. It was barely audible, yet

    Calling Noel directly by his name, and in such an affectionate manner?Yvette's brow furrowed just the slightest bit at Selena's words, though she tried to keep it subtle."Noel, I never properly thanked you for what you did last time. I'll come by and hang out with you again soon."With that, Selena followed Ethan and left. As she walked away, Lulu stood there watching Noel with eyes that practically burned with fire.The contract in her hand suddenly felt like the biggest joke.The Quinton family had landed the huge Lloyd Group project, and she had thought it was her great achievement. In the end, she became the joke."No matter what, this is a huge opportunity for our family," William said happily. "If you ask me, we've got to find out who this mysterious benefactor is and thank him properly."William was especially relieved once he knew it had nothing to do with his older brother's family. At least this credit hadn't been stolen."William's right." Dylan nodded and looked

    Smack!In front of everyone from the Quinton family, Selena raised her hand and slapped Lulu across the face."You brat, how dare you hit me?" Lulu's eyes widened, burning with fury.Jacob and Lily were equally furious."So what if I did?" Selena snapped, eyes blazing. "You're the one who should shut up! Remember this—Dr. Campbell is my friend, and you have no right to insult him!"Selena's voice was sharp and full of authority. When it came to temper, even ten Lulus couldn't hold a candle to the Lloyd family heiress.Without waiting for anyone's reaction, Selena turned and looked straight at Ethan. "Dad, I think we need to reconsider working with the Quinton family. I don't want to do business with people like this."The moment Selena spoke, the faces of everyone in the Quinton family, Lulu included, drained of color.Dad…?Hearing Selena call out to Ethan like that, even the dimmest among them had to piece together who she really was."Mr. Lloyd, this must be Selena, the

    Lloyd Group's newest partner?Hearing Ethan's words, everyone from the Quinton family was stunned. Even Dylan's usually steady face showed a flicker of disbelief."Mr. Lloyd, are you really saying the Lloyd Group wants to work with us?" Dylan asked, eyeing the contract Ethan handed over. "Can you tell me why?"This kind of opportunity felt like a gift falling from the sky, but it still didn't seem real.Given the Quinton family's position, Dylan figured Lloyd Group's choice would have been one of the bigger pharmaceutical companies, not Quinton Pharmaceuticals."You don't need to doubt, Mr. Quinton Sr. The Lloyd family is sincere about this partnership," Ethan said. "Of course, if you want to know the reason..."He paused, glanced around at the Quinton family, then fixed his gaze briefly on Noel before smiling mysteriously at Dylan."Let's just say, the younger generation is full of surprises. The younger generation in your family has an incredible talent. Even my father can't s

    "Don't worry, Grandpa," Lulu said confidently. "Mr. Warren has already promised me he'll ask his father to help with the Lloyd family deal. With the Warren family backing us, even the Lloyds will have to show some respect."Hearing that, Jacob finally relaxed a good deal.Lily grabbed Lulu's hand. "If you ask me, when it comes to granddaughters in the Quinton family, my daughter's got way more talent. You can really tell who's got the right stuff. Only a sharp, promising guy like Mr. Warren deserves to be part of the Quinton family."She looked over at Yvette's worried family, unable to stop bragging."Careful what you say," Noel said, swirling his glass of red wine, flashing a smile at the smug Lily. "Even if the Lloyd family wants to cooperate with the Quinton family, it's not necessarily because of your daughter."Lily's face flushed with anger. "Oh, please! You're just jealous. If the Lloyds don't pick my daughter, are you supposed to pick you, a country bumpkin?Before anyon

    An hour later, the grand ballroom was buzzing with tension.Noel sat with the Quinton family at the VIP table.While Jacob and the others wore worried, anxious faces, Noel was fully focused on the delicious food in front of him.After all, this was the VIP section, and the Fourwinds Consortium was running the event. The dishes weren't quite at the level of a state banquet, but each table still cost tens of thousands of dollars. Having been raised on Fangspire Mountain under his mentor's strict lessons, Noel had always lived by one rule—never waste food.Lily shot a glare at Noel as he devoured his meal, unable to stop herself from mocking him. "All you ever do is eat!"Without missing a bite, Noel looked up and smirked at her. "People survive on food. You eat when you're hungry, and you go when you gotta go. Are you saying you don't need to eat or go to the toilet?"That comment shut Lily up instantly."You—ugh, you country bumpkin! So crude!" she scoffed, pride flashing in he
