Chapter 806
It felt like the end of the world. Underneath the dim light, Noah’s face was ashen, as if all hope was lost to him. He had never let anyone see him like this. At that moment, countless thoughts were churning in his mind. It turned out that Gwynn and Anderson weren’t an item. He could’ve led a happy life with her because she was never one of the Worshems. She was innocent through and through. She should never have been a part of his revenge. Back then, he derived great, twisted pleasure when he saw how deeply she fell in love with him. Now, however, the thought of it was excruciating!He raised his hands before he glanced at her. There was nothing but bitterness in his eyes and misery in his heart. The truth was finally revealed. He had parted ways and reconciled with her countless times over the years, but it was all his fault. Gwynn was Archibald’s daughter. This revelation tore him to shreds. The most bitter pill to swallow was that she would probably sever her ties
Chapter 807
Gwynn changed out of the expensive gown and took off the luxurious jewelry. She spent half a bottle of shampoo to wash out the products used in her hair. Walking out of the bathroom, she put on a snowy, silk bathrobe.It was a busy day, but she insisted on applying the conditioner.Within the huge mirror, she could see her hair cascading on her shoulder and the faint glow from her skin. Thanks to her wealthy life, she looked as delicate as ever. Her eyes were filled with nothing but affection when she reached out for the moisturizer. The wind was beating down on the ornate window, making a faint rustling sound. She wasn’t bothered by it.She merely applied the moisturizer meticulously. She even put on classical music to set the mood. The truth was, she loved quiet, serene moments in the night.At the next moment, someone opened the window. Noah was standing there. His sharp features looked more stunning in the dark of night. His black hair was swaying gently from the night br
Chapter 808
Gwynn was lying on the couch as she was still trembling.She murmured, “It’s over, Noah.”…The moonlight was as bleak as a morning haze under the rising sun. Everything had changed between them. Noah left the Templeton villa and went over to the club, trying to drown his problems in alcohol. The manager knew Noah very well. He read the news about Gwynn rejoining the Templeton family and knew that she was going to stay there permanently. He knew just how to comfort a broken man. Sticking close to Noah, he did what he could to soothe the latter before giving the girl at the door a look, signaling her to come inside. “She has just graduated from college, but she was having a problem securing a job. So, she’s working here until things get better for her!”He added, “She’s a virgin!”However, Noah wasn’t interested. He waved and gestured for the girl to leave him alone. The moment he raised his eyes, he was stunned. The girl looked a lot like Gwynn back when she was twent
Chapter 809
Noah was lying on the couch. His head hurt so much it felt like someone split his skull.Emma went over to open the door. It was Kim. She cast an inquisitive glance at Emma. The young girl resembled Gwynn very much. One glance. That was all it took for her to know what Noah was doing with the young girl. She cursed at her director internally, but she didn’t let it show on her face.Passing by the empty liquor bottles, she took brisk steps toward him and crouched. “You have to head over to the company right now, Mr. Noah. Something bad has happened!”He shielded his eyes and asked softly, “Did Archibald do something?”Kim didn’t even know where to begin. She paused for a while and said. “You know better than anyone how much power he wields and how vast his network is. He verbally promised us several projects before yesterday, but they’re all gone now.“What’s worse, we can’t do anything about it. Archibald’s background was too squeaky clean. We couldn’t find any dirt on him a

As soon as the limousine disappeared from their sight, Kim looked at Noah and asked, “Ms. Courtney won twenty million dollars in a single night. She must’ve been in a wonderful mood.”Noah stood in the dark of night. Lowering his head, he lit a cigarette.He took several drags and wisps of light-green smoke lingered in the air. Sneering, he said, “She wouldn’t have won the twenty million dollars if she didn’t want to help me.”What he didn’t tell Kim was that he set Courtney up back when he wanted to make a connection to Graham. He arranged for a dashing, young college student to sleep with her and took a video of them doing it. He still had the video. That college student had to be twenty-seven years old now. He had an office job during the day. At night, however, he’d serve her and be her plaything. They had slept with each other just once, but he managed to hold onto her. Noah had to admit, that was quite impressive!The neon lights on the street flickered and illuminated
Chapter 811
“Noah managed to rally Graham to his side and do his dirty work.“I have to say that he’s extraordinarily cunning! He must have some dirt on Courtney. I’m willing to bet that he knows about some humiliating secrets. So, she had no choice but to persuade her husband to take Noah’s side.”…It just so happened that Noah was looking their way. Gwynn turned her head sideways. She said to Marisol, “He has always been ruthless.”The latter nodded, agreeing with her sentiment. At that moment, a server came in with a sumptuous fruit platter. She laid it down on the coffee table and said, “This is from Mr. Noah. I’ll also bring some snacks over in a minute.”Gwynn wanted to reject it, but Marisol accepted it. Once the server left, the latter said, “You’ll be playing into his ego if you reject it! It’s best to act as if you’re unfazed in situations like this. Make him guess what you’re thinking. Send a message to him that paltry gestures such as this are nothing in your eyes. After al
Chapter 812
Noah didn’t do anything to her. Her lean wrists were tied up and she was helplessly in his embrace. She couldn’t move at all, nor did she have any intention to call for her help. Her sleeping gown was pulled open, after all.He lay on top of her. There was a glint in his eyes as he stared at her with the glow from the moonlight. After a long time, he leaned into her chest. He was a tall, burly man while Gwynn was slender and petite. That didn’t stop him from leaning on her shoulder. He wouldn’t have shown this vulnerable side of him under normal circumstances. However, he was intensely fearful now. He had always been confident and sure of himself. The way he saw it, Gwynn could never leave him for real regardless of how much she fought back. After all, he wielded power and influence. There are a lot of ways for him to restrict her freedom.Still, life threw him a curve ball. Seemingly out of the blue, she found her real father and family: Archibald and the Templetons.The ol
Chapter 813
After a brief moment, Noah said, “Where would you like to meet?”Archibald chuckled faintly. “Let’s do it at my villa. I don’t like to talk about my family affairs at work. Moreover, people could be listening in to our conversation. We certainly don’t want that!”Noah hung up the phone. Lowering his head, he cupped his face and asked Kim. “I’ve lost the battle, haven’t I?”Kim didn’t say anything for a long time.Leaning back on the leather chair, he looked at her and said, “Everyone’s being respectful and fearful of Archibald! Why would anyone stand up to him and take my side publicly? I actually think they’re all secretly selling away my company’s stocks!”Then, he added, “See to it that every stock they sold is bought back under my name. Use my personal funds!”She didn’t think it was a good idea. He lit a cigarette. “I’ve lost my pride. I can’t lose my company! I have no use for my wealth. The Sanders Group is the only thing that matters now. I have to save it even if it’
