“I’m not sure,” Ronald admitted. “The video did come from an IP address associated with the Yorkfamily, but whether Simon was responsible is unclear. Our team intercepted it, but Julian alsoreceived a copy.

“Mr. Hoffman, what do you think Simon and Julian are up to?” Ronald was puzzled. “Simon haseverything he could want. Why target your wife? And Julian, he’s her father, yet… Ronald caughthimself almost misspeaking and quickly corrected, “Yet he behaves like this.”

Charles replied coldly, “Profit, of course. What else do businessmen care about? Noelle doesn’thave shares in City Ring Corp. Logically, marrying her to Xavier would be the best choice as itwouldn’t remove any shares from City Ring Corp. But he didn’t do that!”

Charles was also puzzled regarding this matter. If Julian intended to give Noelle to Simon, he musthave expected to gain something from Simon.

“Find out what happened between Noelle and the Shaw family!” Charles sensed something was off.Although Noelle was also a child of the Shaw family, she did not seem to be treated as one,especially compared to Winter. “And don’t mention this to Noelle for now.”

“Yes!” Ronald nodded. He was not foolish. He could see from Charles‘ recent behavior that he hadfeelings for Noelle. Even if they were not in a romantic relationship yet, there was definitely aspecial

sentiment.

“Mr. Hoffman, I want to talk to Mr. Lennon’s assistant. Can you help me set it up?”

“Do it yourself!” Charles hung up the phone just as he heard a knock on the door. “Come in!”

Noelle gathered her courage and pushed the door open. Seeing Charles with his phone, seeminglyjust having finished a call, she bit her lip. “Am I disturbing you?”

Charles smiled and gestured for her to come closer. “Come here.”

Feeling more relieved, Noelle walked over and glanced at the items on his desk. “It’s late. Whyaren’t you in bed?”

Charles raised an eyebrow, his gaze shifting from Noelle’s face to her body with a hint ofamusement. Noelle felt a slight shiver under his gaze and followed his eyes, immediately left out agasp.

She quickly pulled her neckline together. “What are you looking at?!” she scolded, giving Charles aplayful glare. “Stop looking!”

Charles could not help but laugh. “My darling wife, you come in the middle of the night dressed soseductively. Were you not trying to tempt me? Plus, weren’t you inviting me to join you in bedearlier?” he teased.

Noelle felt flustered, her logic nearly giving in to his words.

She frowned slightly. “I… I came here to ask you something…”

“Hmm?” Charles raised an eyebrow. “What is it?”

“You know, about the video Mr. Wells sent tonight. About me. You were there that day. You know it’snot what it looks like, right?”
