Chapter 123
Hearing Noelle’s weak, pitiful voice, Nicolas felt like
felt like his che
chest was being crushed.
He took a slow breath, forcing himself to stay calm. His voice was soft, stearly, anything to keep her from breaking down. “Baby, don’t cry. Tell me what happened. Where does it hurt?”
Hearing Nick’s voice only made Noelle feel worse,
Her body was completely drained, aching all over. She could barely move. Lying there, she pouted and murmured. “I ran into some hitmen… my shoulder cot hurt and now it really, really hurts. Nick, it hurts so bad.”
“Himen“?” Nicolas entire body went rigid. His tone darkened. “Elly babe, where are you? Are you safe?”
Tm home, Noelle snitted Tm safe. it just hurts a lot.”
Her voice was so soft, so fragile, like a small wounded animal. It made his stomach twist
Nicolas didn’t hesitate. “Baby, I’m coming over right now
Yes, please. Noelle whispered, her voice shaking. “Nick, hurry….
“Twill Stay put” He ended the call.
Not wasting another second, he strode out of his office. Right then, Bryan walked in and almost bumped into him. He blinked in surprise. “Mr. Sawyer, where are you-
“Cria
a car ready for the Anderson family’s house. And bring some proper gifts, Nicolas ordered, not even looking back.
Bryan hesitated, looking anxious. “Sir, you can’t leave now! The chairman of the Atoraka–Nowedon Economic Association is about to arrive. You don’t have time to go anywhere.
Nicolas didn’t slow down. “Then push the meeting back.”
Bryan’s face turned pale. Lowering his voice, he tried again. “But, sir, the chairman has a terrible temper. If we reschedule last minute, this deal—”
At that. Nicolas suddenly stopped. Bryan barely managed to avoid crashing into him.
Slowly, Nicolas turned, his lips curling into a cold smirk. “Bryan, have you forgotten? We’re the ones calling the shots here. No matter how bad his temper is, he’ll have to suck it up when he sees me.”
Bryan could tell right away, Nicolas was actually angry this time. And that surprised him.
He had worked for the man for years, and if there was one thing he knew, it was that Nicolas never let his emotions show.
No matter the situation, he was always calm, unreadable. But now, it was obvious something had happened with Noelle.
Without hesitation. Bryan lowered his head. “Tim sorry, Mr. Sawyer. I shouldn’t have said that.”
Nicolas shot him a cold glance before turning away. “Just get it done. Now.”
“Understood.” Bryan didn’t waste another second
inner time rolled around, but Noelle still hadn’t come downstairs.
Kimberly glanced toward the staircase. “Is it just me, or has Noelle been asleep way too long! She usually naps for an hour or two, but she’s been out all afternoon.”
Eli immediately stood up. “Till go wake her
He had barely taken two steps before Damon blocked his way. Eli frowned. “What the hell, Damon!”
Damon crossed his arms, his expression cold. “She’s sick. Just let her rest
Eli scoffed. “And she doesn’t need to eat just because she’s sick? If anything, she needs food even more right now”
He tried to siẹp around him, but Damon inoved again, blocking him.
Eli’s patience snapped. “Are you looking for a fight!”

Damon’s clenched “Eh top making a fum.”
fus!!” 1 stared at him like he had lost his mind. “I’m literally just trying to get her to eart What is wrong with you?”
His eyes narrowed. “And since when are you this close to Noelle!
Damon didn’t answer. He just stood his ground, unmoving. Damon, move”
Dumon didn’t finch. “Or what

“Not happening”
By now, the rest of the Anderson family was watching. It was dear Damon was being unusually dit.
Vincent frowned, looking at him, Damon, what’s with you today?”
“Exactly,” Kimberly said, frowning, “Damon, Eli just wants to call Noelle for dinner. Why are you stopping him?”
Charlie didn’t say anything, but his eyes stayed on Damon, like he was trying to figure something out
Leus on the other hand, looked furious. Her eyes were red, her face full of resentment
She couldn’t understand. Damon used to hate Noelle. Now, all of a sudden, he was acting like he cared
It didn’t make sense. He had always been on her side, always the one who cared. Something must have happened between him and Noelle while they were out. Something that made him change.
No matter how she looked at it, there was only one explanation, Noelle had somehow bewitched him.
Damon, meanwhile, kept his mouth shut. Noelle didn’t want anyone knowing what had happened earlier, so he had to keep it a secret.
But his silence only made things more suspicious. The tension in the room was thick when a servant suddenly nabed Sawyer is here.”
Vincent raised a brow. “Nicolas Sawyer? What is he doing here at this hour?”
Eli scoffed, already annoyed. “Tell him to get lost! We don’t need him here.”
Vincent shot him a warning look “Els, watch your mouth. He’s Noelle’s fiancé You can’t treat your future brother–in–law like tha
The moment he heard “fance.” Eli lost it.
