Chapter 173
The look in Jacob's eyes darkened as he tightened his grip on his phone. "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Hoffman. I'll look into it right away!" Jacob took action quickly and soon learned that Simon was not at home. After double-checking with the hotel employees, he discovered that Simon was, in fact, at the hotel and had met with the Shaw family.
The entire York family soon learned of this news, and Norman York even called up Simon himself.
When Simon got the call from Norman, he was watching Noelle roll amongst the sheets as she battled the heat building inside her. An odd look appeared in his eyes as he cleared the smoke from the room and destroyed all the surveillance cameras placed within the room.
Then, he broke a vase and used one of the shattered pieces to make a cut on Noelle's arm. He bent down and took a close look at her face.
She had skin so pretty that it was practically glowing, and there was not a single blemish on it. He reached a hand out to touch her face as his eyes narrowed themselves together. "Today's your lucky day!"
Charles' men immediately notified him when they noticed Simon walking out of Room 808. The smoke had not been fully cleared from the room when Charles rushed over. He swept his stern gaze across the room and noticed it had been cleaned earlier.
Meanwhile, Noelle was lying in bed, her face a bright red.
Charles hurried over and noticed how unnaturally red the color of her face was. It was identical to the past two struggles, but she was considerably quieter this time.
His gaze landed on Noelle's body. Her clothes were still intact on her body, and it seemed that nothing had happened. However, a dark look appeared in his eyes when his gaze landed on her arm.
He picked up Noelle's arm and used a handkerchief to bandage the blood oozing from her arm.
Ronald called out from where he stood at the entrance, "Mr. Hoffman! Simon York has already left."
Charles nodded. "Call Sean and have him make a trip to Phoenix Tree Residence!" As he finished his sentence, he took his suit jacket off and wrapped it around Noelle before he picked her up and carried her out of the hotel.
He carefully placed Noelle in the car and made sure she was comfortable before he looked out the window. "Send the stuff over to Simon, Ronald." Ronald was slightly stunned. He had thought Charles would lose his temper and get caught up in a fight with the York family.
Naturally, Charles noticed the
surprise in Roland's eyes. If he had not entered the room just now, he might have declared war on Simon and the rest of the York family. However, he no longer had such plans after entering the room.
At least, for now, he could not lay a finger on Simon or the York family yet.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"I told you to look into Winter last week, didn't I? How's that looking like?" Charles said as he gazed at Ronald coolly.
Ronald immediately snapped to
attention and answered, "Mr.
Hoffman, don't you know just how skilled Lareal is? Once he begins. putting his skills to work, we'll even be able to find out who Winter's great-great-great-grandparents are! We'll know everything and anything there is to know about her!"
The corner of Charles' lips curled upward. "That's good. I want to see Winter's name on tomorrow's headlines. Got it?"
"Yes, sir." Ronald knew this was a warning sign that Charles was pissed off and secretly felt sorry for Winter. However, come to think of it, Winter had been stupid to piss off Charles.
After all, Charles was the kind who would take revenge on whoever had wronged him, no matter whether they were a man or a woman. Not to mention the fact that Charles' wife was the one she had chosen to
wrong this time. All he could say was that it was bad luck

"I'll get things done immediately!" Ronald then added, "Which agency?"
"Let's not do anything yet!" Charles said as he gazed at the woman lying with her head in his lap, a gentle look in his eyes.
