Chapter 492 A Calm Face, a Breaking Body

Noelle didn’t say a word. She just followed them inside.

In the dining room, the long table was full of food.

There was roast chicken, grilled shrimp, baked fish, beef stew, and a big bowl of pasta for everyone to share.

Everything was light. Everything was carefully made. Everything was her favorite.

Gus stood to the side, rubbing his hands nervously. “Mrs. Menzie, would you like to try some? I made it light. It shouldn’t upset your stomach.”

Lucas had already taken a seat. He grabbed a fork and pushed it into her hand. “Come on, try it! It smells amazing. I’ve been waiting for you so we could start!”

Noelle sat down.

Everyone was watching her.

She picked up the fork, took a bite of vegetables, and put it in her mouth.

She chewed.

Swallowed.

The food felt like it had thorns. It scraped down her throat. Her stomach twisted.

She forced it down. Her face stayed calm. Then, she took another bite.

One bite. Then another. And another.

She ate slowly. Every bite looked painful, like she was swallowing something she couldn’t stand. But she didn’t spit anything out.

Lucas watched her. The smile on his face slowly faded.

He opened his mouth, like he wanted to say something, but stopped.

Gus stood there, eyes red, not daring to speak.

Primo and Duo exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads in silence.

It took her a long time to finish her food.

But in the end, she finished it.

Noelle put down the fork, picked up her glass, and took a sip of water.

“I’m done,” she said calmly. “You all should eat.”

Lucas wanted to say something, but she had already stood up and was walking upstairs.

“Primo. Duo,” she said without turning back. “Come with me.”

In the study.

The door closed.

Noelle stood by the window, her back to them.

Outside, the sky was gray. In the dim light, her figure looked thin and fragile.

Primo and Duo stood by the door, glancing at each other. Neither dared to speak.

After a long time, Noelle finally spoke. Her voice was soft. Calm.

“How did Sebastian decide to trade himself?”

Primo and Duo looked at each other again.

Primo swallowed. His voice was tight.

“It… it was a message from Jasper. He sent Boss a photo of Mr. Ethan’s severed finger. Boss had no choice, so-”

“Jasper.”

Noelle repeated the name.

Her voice was still calm. So calm that it held no emotion at all.

But both men felt a chill crawl up their spines.

Noelle turned around.

The light from the window fell on her face, showing everything clearly.

Her sunken cheeks. The dark circles under her eyes. Her cracked lips.

And that chilly smile.

She was smiling.

A cold, unsettling smile that made their skin crawl.

“Jasper…” she said again, like she was tasting the name.

“Mrs. Menzie…” Primo asked carefully, “what are you planning to do?”

Noelle didn’t answer.

She walked to the window and pushed it open.

Cold wind rushed in, lifting her hair.

“You can leave,” she said.

Primo and Duo looked at each other, then quietly walked out.

The door closed.

Noelle stood by the window, staring at the gray sky.

Jasper.

Jasper.

Her fingers slowly curled into fists.

Outside the study, Primo and Duo stood there, still uneasy.

“The way Mrs. Menzie looked just now…” Duo swallowed. “That was scary.”

Primo didn’t speak, but sweat had already formed on his forehead.

He had followed Sebastian for years. He had seen all kinds of things. But that eerie smile still sent chills down his spine.

“She’s not going to go after Jasper herself, right?” Duo whispered.

Primo frowned. “She… probably won’t… right?”
