"Why are you here again? I'm warning you, I have nothing to do with you. You're doing just fine at the Anderson family now, so don't—"Noelle frowned and immediately understood. Shirley had mistaken her for Kelly, which explained her overly emotional reaction.She gave a wry smile. "Ms. Shrill, you're mistaken. I'm not Kelly.""Then who are you?""Noelle," she said with a faint smile. "Hello, I'm Noelle Shaw."The moment Shirley heard Noelle's name, her emotions spiraled even further. "It's you. It's actually you!"Shirley stared at Noelle in a daze. She was visibly shaken and nearly lost her balance. If not for her manager holding her up, she might have collapsed."Get away from me! You're all here to settle scores—every one of you!"Shirley shoved Ellen aside and dashed away through the side corridor.Ellen hesitated, her gaze lingering on Noelle for a moment before he hurried after Shirley."This is…" Rowena found herself stunned by the situation. She glanced at Noelle, st

Just as Noelle and her friends left the venue, Charles received news of Kelly's disruption. The manager had already reported the incident in detail.At that moment, Charles was engaged in a video call with an international business partner. The moment Ronald informed him of the situation, Charles immediately ended the call and looked up at Ronald. "Speak.""It seems Mrs. Hoffman also encountered some trouble today," Ronald began, recounting the events he had learned from the manager.As he finished, he glanced at Charles, whose enigmatic gaze made Ronald hesitate slightly before adding, "Mr. Hoffman, Mrs. Hoffman—"Charles raised a hand, cutting Ronald off, "You're saying Kelly went to the venue? And Grant was there too?""Yes. Apparently, Shirley turned out to be Ms. Anderson's biological mother. Ms. Anderson announced it publicly in front of all the reporters—it's unquestionably true. As for Grant, he didn't say much, but he made a few pointed remarks before taking Ms. Anderson

Charles carried Noelle to the living room. When he noticed she was only wearing a pair of flimsy slippers, his brows furrowed together. "Aren't your feet cold?""No," Noelle replied, shaking her head. However, when her gaze met Charles' dark eyes, she felt a sudden pang of guilt.She quickly lifted her feet and tucked them against Charles' thigh, trying to wiggle them under his clothes. "They're not cold anymore!"Charles narrowed his eyes but did not stop her from playing around. He squeezed her leg gently and felt the chill in her feet. "Don't do this again.""Got it."Noelle stuck out her tongue mischievously. "Why are you home so early today?""I missed you," Charles said in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of a nasal drawl.His words stunned Noelle. Her heart warmed, and she instinctively hugged him tighter, unwilling to let go. "I missed you too," she murmured.Charles seemed pleased with her affectionate display. He ran his hand over her head, soothing her restless

"Yes," Charles confirmed."Why are you asking about her?"Nancy knew Charles' personality. He would not ask unnecessary questions unless something important was at stake.Meanwhile, Clarisse, who was sitting beside Nancy, grew restless. "Is that Charlie? Can I say a few words to him? What does Charlie want to know?"Charles could hear Clarisse's voice on the other end and instinctively wanted to hang up, but then he heard her say, "Shirley? Charlie, are you asking about Shirley?"Charles hesitated. "Aunt Nancy, let her take the phone."Nancy handed the phone to Clarisse. Her heart pounded, and she felt it might leap into her throat. "Charlie, um… How are you and Noelle today?""We're fine," Charles replied, holding onto his patience. "Do you know Shirley?""Yes, I do." Clarisse nodded, despite knowing he could not see her. "Back when I lived in Capiton, Shirley often spent time there too. The circle was small, so many of her affairs were well-known. What do you want to ask?""

Noelle leaned against Charles's chest, brushing her teeth with her back to him. Suddenly, a thought seemed to strike her, and she paused. "Charlie, how about we go back to the Hoffman residence today?""Hmm?" Charles looked up. "Why?""I feel like it's too much for you to take care of me alone. You still have to work during the day." She was not a child anymore, and relying on him all the time seemed unreasonable. "Look, you've even lost weight lately!"As she spoke, she pinched his face gently. "It's my fault.""You!" Charles sighed, lightly pinching her nose. "Alright, hurry up and wash your face. After breakfast, we'll head to the office.""Really? You're taking me to the office?""Weren't you the one who suggested it?" Charles dampened a towel and handed it to her. "How's the temperature?""Perfect!" After Noelle finished washing her face, Charles carried her out of the bathroom. Dangling her legs as he held her, Noelle moved her head close to his ear and blew softly while
