That night, Noel drowned his sorrows with alcohol. He did not stop drinking even after throwing up.Sophie cried until her eyes were red and was still trying to talk him out of it with a hoarse voice."Please stop drinking, Noel. You'll end up in the hospital if you continue this way. Please don't hurt yourself over a woman who only wants to climb the social ladder and doesn't know what's good for her."Noel's cloudy eyes seemed to clear up when he heard Sophie's words.He grabbed Sophie by the collar and spoke in a slightly drunken stupor."She doesn't know what's good for her and just wants to climb the social ladder? S-she married my Uncle Eric because s-she wants to make me mad! I've known her for years. H-how could I not know what she's thinking? All she wants is for me to comfort her. I'll go see her right now. I-I just need to beckon her, and she'll come back to me!"Noel pushed away bottles of alcohol as he spoke and stumbled toward the door.Sophie bit down on her lips

The next afternoon, Noel was pushed out of bed while still drowsy.He pressed his hand against his head, which was aching tremendously. He was about to lose his temper when he saw Sophie sobbing."Noel, your mother wants to fire my parents and kick our family out of the Chiltons. Please help me!"The blurry images in his mind vanished the moment he heard Sophie's words.He jerked up from bed and was in disbelief."Impossible!"He picked up his cell to call his mother to ask about this.When his mother picked up his call and heard his reason for the call, she hung up."We're not talking about this. It's final!"Sophie cried even louder when she heard the short yet definite answer. She hugged Noel while pleading for his help."Noel… Please talk to your mother about this. We've done nothing wrong. All I want is to stay by your side. You understand how I feel about you, right?"It pained Noel's heart to see Sophie in such a broken state. When he found out where his mother was, h

The security camera caught everything clearly.After the police cleared the scene and took down everyone's statements, they took away the bodies and wanted to bring Sophie back to the police station.However, Noel hugged her tight and refused to let go.Sophie laid in his arms. Her eyes were glazed over as she had just suffered a breakdown.Noel's heart ached for her. He wanted to talk to the police to wait until her emotions stabilized.However, Eric stopped him.He gave the police a copy of the security footage and calmly made a request."Officer Colton, this is a copy of security footage that clearly captured how Sophie Taylor tried to murder my wife. I'd like the police to investigate this."Sophie, who was supposed to be out of it, suddenly snapped awake when she heard Eric's words. She went out of control as she screamed."It wasn't me! That was just an accident! The police have already confirmed it!"Noel signed the settlement for me! You can't look into this anymore!"

Noel saw Eric's post on social media too.He spotted a hand with a ring at the corner of the picture and felt even deeper despair.That ring was supposed to be his.That soup was supposed to be made for him.However, he had lost everything. He was left with nothing but an empty room now.Where did it all go wrong?Noel could not understand it. All he could do was drown his sorrows in alcohol.When he got tipsy, he lost all inhibitions. He could not stop himself from calling Stella.She finally picked up on his fourth call. All he could hear was shallow breathing.He listened to her breathing with a heavy head and spoke in an upset tone."I was wrong before, Stella. I shouldn't have ignored you. I'm sorry. I know you have feelings for me. You only married Uncle Eric to make me mad, didn't you?"Divorce him and come back to me, alright? I promise you I'll give you the wedding you want. I'll make it up to you with the ring and wedding gown. I promise to be with you wholehearted

Seven months later, Stella gave birth to a pair of daughters.She and Eric agreed that their oldest daughter, Aisling Chilton, would take over the Chilton business while their youngest daughter, Aurora Judd, would inherit the Judd business.He stayed by her side during her pregnancy and completed all his work six months in advance.When the children were born, he had a lot of spare time to help Stella take care of them. Stella's mom also helped out with the babies, and Stella was happy to enjoy her free time.Once she had recovered from the birth, the happy couple returned to the old mansion with their daughters.Old Mr. Chilton was overjoyed. He divided his late wife's jewelry into two and gave them all to his two granddaughters.The other older members of the Chiltons also prepared expensive gifts. Noel's parents transferred a private theme park to them and told them it was a gift for their nieces.Stella remembered the theme park was under Noel's name.She glanced at him and
