Chapter 945
The night grew darker and quieter. An eerie silence hung over the Templeton villa. Marisol was packing up her jewelry, clothes, and valuables into a couple of big suitcases in the master bedroom on the second floor. …Anders was smoking outside. There were more than ten cigarette butts in the ashtray. Later, she dragged the suitcases out. She asked him, “Are you leaving with me, Anders? We’ll remain a married couple if you join me. I’ll respect your decision if you want to stay, but it will also mark the end of our marriage.”Her voice was restrained when she said, “I can’t bear to stay in this family for another second.”She loved Archibald and treated him like her father. However, the universe had played a cruel joke on her. Never had she thought that the wise, old man would’ve been that moronic. He actually cared about himself so much that he refused to save his own grandson. He had left Anderson to die back then. Anders continued to smoke. It was hard for him to ma

Gwynn forced a smile in response. Both of them bared their souls for a while and went to sleep. That was when Noah’s phone, which he put next to his pillow, started ringing.He saw the caller. Squinting his eyes, he answered the call. On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man spoke. “Archibald secretly did the compatibility test for Gwynn. The result says that her bone marrow is compatible with Ollie’s. I think he’s going to move in on her soon. “Now, I’m aware that you built up some reputation and power in Hucksburgh. I suggest you transfer her there immediately. Better yet, send both of your kids there as well! It’s too dangerous for them to stay in Brookesville.“He’s locking Marisol in the villa against her will.“It’s official. Archibald has lost his mind.”…Noah wore a blank expression. “Got it.” Hanging up, he looked at Gwynn. He knew she heard everything, but she appeared utterly calm. Pulling her over gently, he made her lean on his shoulder and told her

Saul went to the parking spot and was about to get into the car, but Archibald said dryly, “This is a family affair, Saul. You should stay away from this point on.”Saul responded with a smile, “Anything that concerns you is my business, Mr. Archibald.”The old man shot him a glance. “I don’t intend to drag anyone else into my family affair and create unnecessary trouble.”Saul dropped the matter and watched as six limousines drove out of his sight. He waited until all the cars were out of the villa before pulling out his phone, changing the SIM card, and making a call. “Something bad happened, Mr. Noah.”“Archibald wouldn’t let me follow him… I don’t even know which hospital he’s going to.”…Back in the director’s office in the Sanders Group, Noah hung up the phone and walked outside at once. He relayed an order when he passed by Kim’s office, “Summon as many bodyguards as you can from the security firm. I need them with me.”It was a brief order, but it hinted at a dire sit
Chapter 948
One of the doctors was so dense that he took an anesthetic over and said, “We’re going to begin the bone marrow transplantation now. Please get out of here, sir.”“To hell with that.”Noah swung his feet and broke three of the male doctor’s rib bones. The latter slipped on the floor and groaned out of pain. At the next moment, several hundred bodyguards he hired from the security firm surrounded and sealed off the hospital. All of a sudden, Archibald’s twenty-over bodyguards were as insignificant as a speck of sand! The moment Gladys regained her freedom, she went over to Gwynn and undid her bonds. She broke down crying. “It’s a good thing that Noah is here in time! Otherwise, something horrible would’ve happened to you.”Gwynn’s eyes were filled with tears. She had made plans with Noah to go to Hucksburgh in three days, but none of them thought Archibald would be this insane.Noah didn’t see the need to play nice anymore. He took his time taking off the suit jacket, discar

Every member of the staff in Hyacinth Hospital was trying their best to save Ollie. Fortunately, the little boy was a tough cookie. He gave everyone a scare, but he ultimately survived without suffering any permanent damage to his body. However, he was getting weaker and weaker. Talia held her son and cried her heart out. Now that she had lost her reputation, she had also lost her right to voice her opinion among the Templetons. She had no choice but to take Archibald’s side.She started vocally blaming Gwynn for not looking at the big picture and keeping him happy.He was feeling guilty, to begin with. So, he couldn’t bear to hear what Talia was saying. Roaring at her, he said, “If you have the time to be sleeping with men out there, you might as well keep Ollie and Jolie company. How else do you think Noah managed to set you up?”Talia felt such intense shame from being lectured in front of everyone that she could just die!With that said, she didn’t truly want to die. So,

Noah looked at Gwynn and said tenderly, “Stay here and don’t wake Holly up. If she asks about me, just tell her I’m on a work trip.”He simply couldn’t worry enough about them and continued to give her advice on what to do. On the other hand, she teared up and remembered everything he said. Then, he left with Officer Kingston before lunch while she stood on the balcony and watched the police car drive off into the distance.She counted the days until his return.Seven days came and passed. It felt like a century for her. However, he still hadn't come back to her. She tried and failed to see him at the prison. The warden said to her, “Mr. Noah is tied to a serious case.”He didn’t so much as blush when he made blatant lies about her husband. She knew, deep down, that this was Archibald’s doing!She also knew that the old man wasn’t about to release Noah unless she went to him and begged to trade her husband’s life with her bone marrow.However, she wasn’t going to do that.

It was the middle of the night. Archibald sat in his study, wearing a gloomy expression. He asked Saul, who was standing next to him, “Did Noah admit to committing the crimes?”Saul was freshening the cup of tea for him. Then, he smiled faintly and said, “It’s such a big case. Why would he admit to having done anything? The way I heard it, they beat him to a pulp, but he simply wouldn’t back down.”The old man snorted. “He’s a stubborn one.”Taking the cup of tea, he blew on it and said, “We have to use some unconventional means against stubborn mules like him. Haven’t those guys done an exceptional job at extracting information before? Tell them to do anything necessary and force a confession out of him.”Saul smiled. “Are you sure, Mr. Archibald?”The old man put down the cup and asked, “Why do you seem to be concerned about him so much?”Saul waved his hand and denied it. “I’m just worried that doing it will ruin your relationship with Ms. Gwynn. After all, she’s really doin
Chapter 952
It was a winter night. The wind was so biting that it pierced his weary bones. Archibald stood in the hallway, experiencing the kind of helplessness he had never felt in his entire life. Then, he heard a voice from behind. “Are you Mr. Archibald?”“Who goes there?”He turned around abruptly and looked at the guy. It turned out it was a delivery man. He was holding a wreath made of fresh flowers. Handing it to the old man gingerly, he said, “This is from Ms. Gwynn. She’s sorry for your loss!”It was a wreath…A storm brewed in the old man’s eyes. Tossing the wreath onto the floor, Archibald lost his cool and stomped on it, crushing it beyond recognition. He knew, deep down, that it was a warning from Gwynn. If he continued to exert pressure on Noah, then she’d do something to Anderson again. She was truly capable of destroying someone’s psyche, instead of killing him outright.Saul rushed over, saw what happened and was shocked. “What happened here?”Raising his head sli
