Chapter 311

Ronald and Lareal snapped to attention. "Mr. Lennon!" they exclaimed.Charles glanced up at Peter. "What are you doing here?"With a sly smile and a quirk of his eyebrow, Peter leaned casually against the door. "I haven't seen you lose your temper like this in years," he said, his eyes hinting at something deeper.Charles scowled at him. "What's your point?"Peter just shrugged. "She's a woman. Don't you think you're being a bit harsh?" He then caught the sharp look in Charles's eyes. "Oh? Seems like you haven't changed since you treated my sister's foster mother the same way three years ago."Peter's expression darkened, and the air around him grew tense. He locked eyes with Charles, and without a word, a fierce showdown began.The two men were evenly matched, and it was hard to tell who would come out on top. Meanwhile, Ronald and Lareal were caught in the middle. They exchanged helpless looks, silently wishing they could just disappear.Finally, Peter let out a disdainful huf

Chapter 312

Charles gave Peter a sidelong glance, his brow creasing slightly. Peter narrowed his eyes but decided to leave it at that.Charles finished up his work and hurried to the hospital. Noelle was getting some rest, with her friends Rowena and Teresa sitting quietly by her side. They felt bad about what happened last night. They knew Winter and Annie did not like Noelle, yet they had not been on guard.Noelle was okay, but Rowena could not help thinking that if she had been more careful yesterday, today might have been different.When Noelle started to doze off, Rowena gently pulled on Teresa's arm, and they both slipped out of the room, closing the door softly behind them."What's up?" Teresa asked, seeing the look on Rowena's face. "What's on your mind?"Rowena bit her lip. "Winter and Annie really crossed the line this time. They used a venomous snake! Can you believe it? If Yevgen hadn't come just in time, who knows what might’ve happened to Noelle?" Rowena shivered just thinking a

Chapter 313

Noelle was lying so still on the bed that it looked like she was fast asleep. The sunlight slipped through the window, casting a warm glow on her face. When he saw her shift a little, Charles quietly walked over and closed the curtains, making the room go dark. Noelle's face seemed to relax even more.Charles stood next to her, gazing at her pale face with deep concern. He reached out as if to touch her, but his hand stopped just a hair away from her cheek.After a moment, he pulled back, grabbed a newspaper, and sat down in the chair next to the bed.Cody led Annie out of The Majestic Lounge. She was a mess. Her face was swollen and cut, and she looked really scary. Cody had seen a lot in his life, but the sight of Annie's injuries made him feel sick.He knew The Majestic Lounge was not a place to mess with. He had always wanted to get on their good side, and he never imagined his first time dealing with them would be like this.As Cody helped Annie into the car, she started scre

Charles glanced up, cracking his knuckles. "Out with it!"Sean shrank back a little and gulped. "Cody's here."Charles scrunched his eyebrows. "What does he want?""He wants my help!" Sean blurted out. "Don’t you remember? He saved Liliana's life a few years back. It’s smart of him to come to me. Why would he ask me, though? Liliana's your sister, not mine.""Get to the point!" Charles demanded, his voice sharp."The point is, Cody wants me to help him out. He doesn't just want me to heal Annie, but also to smooth things over. That guy has no clue who's behind The Majestic Lounge. He thinks by getting to me, he can get to you, and you can talk to the big boss of The Majestic Lounge for him."Charles's eyebrows drew together, a shadow flickering in his deep eyes. "Did you really agree to it?" he asked."Of course. I hate being in debt to anyone," Sean replied. Just then, he caught Charles's fierce glare and quickly put up his hands, saying, "I only said I'd help, not that it's a

"Okay, I'll help you. I'll make sure Annie gets the care she needs. However, Mr. Adams, you should find out what she did. The person after her isn't just anybody—it's Charles!"Cody shot to his feet, staring at Sean in shock.He had hoped to leverage Sean's influence and maybe even get Charles to step in and smooth things over. After all, he knew Liliana's true identity, a secret he had kept since the day he saved her life.Years had passed, and even though Liliana was nowhere to be found, the Hoffmans, especially Charles, owed him a big favor. Cody figured that mentioning the past would surely get Charles to lend a hand. However, what he did not see coming was that Annie had managed to upset Charles himself.Sean narrowed his eyes, a spark of cunning flickering in them.He knew exactly what Cody was up to. A favor was a favor, and it had to be repaid. However, Sean was not like Charles. He did not like being under someone's thumb, and Cody had clearly crossed a line with him.Se

Chapter 316

Annie suddenly felt weak, and tears just started to fall from her eyes.Cody rubbed his forehead, giving the doctor and nurse a look. "Could you guys give us a minute, please?"After the doctor and nurse left, Cody shut the door and stepped in. "How are you holding up?""Not well! I’m doing really badly, Brother. They did this to me! You have to get revenge for me!""Revenge?" Cody let out a harsh laugh. Seeing Annie still not sorry for what she had done made him wonder why he had even made a deal with Sean. "Do you even realize what you've done wrong?""What did I do wrong? I didn't do anything." Annie stared at Cody, shocked. She could not believe that her brother, who always spoiled and loved her, was not taking her side. He was questioning her, even though she was the one who was hurt. "Your sister is so badly hurt, yet you don't think you should get revenge for me?""That's enough!" Cody's voice was sharp as he cut off Annie. "I don't want to fight with you, but what on eart

Chapter 317

"I don't know. I just..."Annie was at a loss. She had only wanted to teach that mean girl a lesson. How did Charles get involved?"Okay, you should rest for now. I'll find out more about this. Charles isn't the type to act without reason. If you haven't really crossed him, he won't bother you. But if you're hiding something from me, remember, even I won't be able to protect you."After Cody left, Annie felt like her whole world was spinning. She could not figure out what she had done to upset Charles. However, she knew she had to look out for herself first. Her thoughts flew to Winter, and how Winter's fiance, Xavier, was connected to Charles. Without wasting a moment, she dialed Winter's number.Winter was busy trying on dresses. Emilia had sent a bunch of them a few days back. Two were really pretty, but they did not fit quite right, so Emilia had taken them back to be altered.Checking herself out in the mirror, Winter could not help but smile. Just then, her maid Rose came in

Chapter 318

Cody knew something was up, and sure enough, the very next day, the Adams Group got hit hard. Clients were complaining and pulling their money out left and right, and it was a massive blow to the company. Cody was super worried, and the whole Adams family was freaking out. The company's investors were upset too, thinking Cody must have made some big mistake. Right in the middle of all that chaos, Cody found out that someone was buying up all of the Adams Group's stock.The Adams family finally got how serious things were, and Cody realized he had only one move left.Over at Collosus Group, Charles had just stepped out of a meeting when his secretary Becky came up to him. " Mr. Hoffman, Mr. Adams from the Adams Group is here to see you."Charles gave Ronald a quick, sharp look, and Ronald snapped to attention. "Mr. Hoffman, we've bought up a bunch of the Adams Group's stock. We're pretty much the second-biggest shareholder now, so we can totally stand up to Cody's side. It's just t

Chapter 319

"Mr. Adams, you haven't been the best brother, have you? There are some people you should get to know, and there are others you should stay away from. I hope you understand what I'm saying!" "I’ve got it!" Cody quickly replied. He was not dumb, he could read between the lines of what Charles was saying. He realized that Winter was not someone to be friends with, and this mess probably had something to do with Winter too. Charles's willingness to meet and his words gave Cody a little hope. "Thanks for the heads-up, Mr. Hoffman." "Mr. Adams, I'm not one for wasting words, and I really don't like it when people say one thing and do another," Charles said, putting down his cup. "I can overlook what happened with the Adams Group, and I can forgive your sister's past mistakes. However, I have one condition!" "Please tell me, Mr. Hoffman!" Cody's heart leaped with joy. Charles's words meant he was willing to give the Adams Group another chance. Even though they were barely hanging on,

Chapter 320

"Annie, you need to come home!" That was what Cody said the moment Annie picked up the phone. Her heart leaped with worry. "Brother, is it about the Adams Group...""No way. We saved the Adams Group!" Cody cut off Annie's words. "The doctor said you're all better now. So, if you're better, come back home!""But I..." Annie glanced at the scars on her neck, arms, and even her face, feeling wronged. "Brother, it's all Noelle's fault. She's so mean...""Enough!" Cody's voice was sharp and stern as he stopped her. "Are you still blaming Noelle? I found out the truth. You were the one who was jealous and tried to hurt her. Annie, you're not a kid anymore. You need to think before you act.""Brother...""Let's talk when you're home!" Cody hung up, leaving Annie biting her lip and glaring at her phone in anger.When Annie got home, she saw her parents and brother waiting. As soon as her mom saw her, she rushed to help her. "My poor girl. I can't believe what Charles did...""Mom." Cody
