StarNovelChapter 309 "This woman is quite a skilled actress!" Sean had been watching the whole scene unfold. With a twinkle in his charming eyes, he grinned at Ronald. "Right, Ronald?" "Yes, absolutely!" Ronald replied, glancing at Sean. "How about you, Mr. Smith?" "Let's just let things take their course. I was only here for a bit of excitement. It's late, and I'm heading home!"

When they saw Charles holding a woman, they rushed to greet him. "Mr. Hoffman." "Yes," Charles said as he stepped out of the car with Noelle in his arms and faced the doctor. "She's been bitten by a snake. Please check if all the venom's been removed!" Hearing that, the doctor quickly examined Noelle's wound. "Mr. Hoffman, please lay her down so we can take a closer look!" Noelle's leg wound had been cleaned, but to be safe, the doctor recommended she stay overnight for observation. If she was fine by morning, then they could be sure she was out of danger.

Charles saw how brave she was being and felt a pang in his heart. He held her hand tightly and said, "I should have protected you better." Noelle quickly shook her head. Even though she was still pale, she felt much stronger. "You can't blyourself. Nobody could've guessed what happened yesterday!" She looked at him and asked, "Do you know who was behind last night's ineident?" 8557 Verify captcha to read the content 8557 Verify

Noelle nodded, then added. "This might have something to do with Winter and her group..." "Let's not worry about that now. I've promised to take care of it, and I will. You shouldn't stress over it." "However, ..." Noelle hesitated. She
never got along with Winter, but she could not understand why Winter always seemed to pick on her, ve especially when it cto m something as serious as yesterday.
"Isn't she getting married to Xavier?"
"Getting married?" Charles smirked.
"Now that you mention it, it's om probably tto keep her busy with NO something else. She's too focused on bothering you, and it's getting tiresome!" X
