Chapter 157
Before Noelle had any contact with the Anderson family, the lab had investigated them. This file was.
of that investigation –
Inside, there was personal information on Bennett, including details about his relationship career, and personality.
The assistant manager skimmed through the document.
Bennett specialized in medical surgery and had also studied biological extension technology. At a young age, he had already published papers in prestigious medical journals and was hailed as a genius in the medical field.
When Bennett first graduated, the lab had extended an olive branch to him.
After all, Bennett’s expertise in biological extension technology was essential to their research, but at the time, he had declined the offer Considering his background, the labs had decided not to press further.
Bennett’s interpersonal relationships were relatively simple.
In his professional life, he surrounded himself with a group of like–minded colleagues, while in his personal life, as the second young master of the Anderson family, he maintained good relations with other young masters and rich heirs within his social circle.
He was truly the epitome of a “jack of all trades personality–casygoing, elegant, and graceful.
No matter who he interacted with, Bennett could seamlessly blend in. Whenever anyone spoke of him, they would always sing his praises, and in- terms of reputation, he was considered the most well–liked among the Anderson family’s brothers.
After reviewing Bennett’s file, the assistant manager looked at Brandon in confusion and asked. “Mr. Jones, why did you ask us to focus on this person? Is there a specific reason”
Brandon lounged lazily in his chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table.
His emerald–green eyes carried a slurp, knowing gleam as they settled on Bennett’s information, as though he was trying to see through the man He then asked, “What do you think of Bennett!”
The assistant manager paused for a moment before responding, glancing at the report, “He secins to be a to get along with.”
person
with a good temper, someone easy
Brandon let out a cold laugh.
Noticing Brandon’s reaction, the assistant manager quickly shrank back, cautiously asking, “Ull Mr. Jones, did I say something wrong?”
Brandon pointed at Bennett’s photo and said slowly, “You’ve been busy with your academics, so it seems you don’t understand people very well.
The more perfect someone seems on the surface, the more likely they are to hile their true nature. When their problems eventually come to light, they’ll be even bigger than we expert.
“Just wait and see. Hennent will undoubtedly be the most troublesome person in the Anderson family.”
The next day. Noelle woke up early.
She had originally thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep the night before, but to her surprise, she had slept soundly, thanks in large part to Vincent’s reassuring words the previous evening, which had unexpectedly lifted her mood.
With her spirits lifted, her sleep quality naturally improved
She had originally planned to go for a morning jog. However, as soon as she stepped outside, she saw Charlie coming out of his room.
“Chathe!” she called our cheerfully upon seeing him.
Thinking back to the events of the previous night, Noelle realized that Charlie had been instrumental in helping her. If it hadn’t been for his intervention, identifying Leia’s manipulations, she would have found it difficult to handle Leia’s relentless pressure.
Noelle had always thought of Charlie as cold and distant, not easy to approach or get along with hut to her surprise, he had helped her, which she hadur expected at all

Can a good izyonunity to build a better relationslup with Charlie, she walked up to him and askest “Charlie, are you going for a jog tool“:
Chapter 157
Charlie was also dressed in sportswear, denly planning in
Charlie looked at Noelle, whose eyes were sparkling with enthusiasm, her eager expression ratching his attention. He felt a slight twitch in cyclubs, and a thought crossed his mind
He wondered. Did she really compose the phenomenon–level song? Why does she seem so clueless?
“You going for a rim?” Charlie’s voice was cool and calm
His gaze swept over Noelle, who was dressed in matching athletic gear.
“Yes!” Noelle nodded eagerly, her eyes curving into a sinile. “Charlie, let’s run together!”
Chorbe knew Noelle had something to say to him, and truth be told, he also had something to say to her, so he didn’t refuse. “Let’s go.”
The Anderson family’s villa was situated in a spacious, quiet area with few people around. Early in the morning, the serene environment made it perfect for a jog.
Noelle jogged alongside Charlie, her voice bright as she thanked him. “Charlie, I forgot to thank you for what you did yesterday! I appreciate you standing up for mel”
Charlie glanced at her and replied in a calm, matter–of–fact tone, “I just didn’t want to see Leia keep making mistakes. It wasn’t because I care about you, so there’s no need to thank me
“No way I’m not thanking you!” Noelle retorted with a smile. “Regardless of what your reasons were, the result is that you helped me! So I should thank you!”
Clure looked at her, noticing how serious she was. Although she seemed a bit silly, she had more sense than Leia. “Well, I accept your thanks,” Charlie said quietly.
Noelle smiled again.
She had realized that although Charlie was as cold and unapproachable as a block of ice, he had one major advantage over Damon and Eli–Charlie was extremely reasonable He was also much more rational than the other two
“Charlie, let’s get along well from now on!” Noelle took the initiative. “Ill be a good little sister and do my best to get you to like me!”
Curlie glanced at her sideways, then said in a calm tone, “You don’t need to try so hard to please me. As long as you don’t cause trouble, I won’t make things difficult for you”
At the time, Charlie had no strong feelings either way about Noelle coming back to the Anderson family. He was indifferent. But deep down, given the cold reception she had received, he wasn’t thrilled about the idea
First, no one
no one was exactly rolling out the welcome mat
Second, he figured it would be better for her to stay away. Living in such an unwelcoming environment would only hold her back. Plus, on his owİL he’d have more freedom.
But as time passed, Noelle became more integrated into the family. The others were slowly starting to warm to her, and naturally, Charlie would
come around too
Leia, he would fulfill his role as an older brother. But to expect more from him–well, that was asking too much.
Take the situation with Reyna, for example. Charlie knew that a falling–out with her would likely cause Lea to be blacklisted at Lighting Medus, bui he still didn’t back down.
He’d done his part for Leia. Before she signed the contract, he’d warned her to be careful. But she hadn’t listened. She’d gone behind his back and signed with Brynu anyway
So the consequences were hers to deal with.
She was an adult now. She made her own choices, and there was no reason for anyone che to suffer the consequences of those choices. Charlie wasn’t about to sacrilice the company’s interests to satisfy Leia’s whims
2.53 PM
Chapter 157
Noelle listened to Charlie’s words, her eyes wide, then she blinked and said. “But I want you to like me, Charlie. So. Ill do what you like, and try to make you luppy“”
Charlie glanced at her again, clearly puzzled. “Why do you want me to like you?”
Noelle smiled brightly at him. Because we’re siblings! Of course, I want my older brother to like me
