"So, in the end, it's all about the company," Kelly said, disappointment evident in her voice as she looked at Grant. "You and Father sacrificed me three years ago for Somerset Group's benefit. Now, you're willing to sacrifice me again to protect it, aren't you?"I love Charlie! I love him so much. After so many years, there's just no way I'd give up!”"I'm afraid you chose that path yourself three years ago," Grant replied with a furrowed brow as he carried Seth into the elevator.When Kelly hesitated, Grant's patience wore thin, and he reached out to pull her inside. "Let go of your hopes for Charles. He has a wife now. If he truly loved you, he wouldn't have let you go back then. You're a smart woman—I don't need to spell it out. For now, you'll stay with me. But if you dare to scheme anything else, I'll have Kresten send you back to Capiton immediately.""Grant!" Kelly protested.However, Grant did not give her another chance to argue. He strode forward, carrying Seth into the

To outsiders, it might have seemed bold for Noelle to hand over such a large stake in City Ring Corp. to Charles. However, anyone with a keen eye could see that the deal was a win-win for her. Unless Charles himself was willing, no one could gain so much from him.What Kresten could not figure out, Grant easily understood."What should we do next, sir?" Kresten asked.Even now, Kresten was not entirely clear on Grant's intentions. If he had come to help Kelly, his actions did not align with that purpose. Instead, he seemed more focused on removing Kelly from Brookville. Now, Grant was investigating Noelle. Kresten's instincts told him that Noelle's connection to Grant was not simple.Grant closed the file in his hands, his expression unreadable. "For now, we wait. Any updates from Nexus Group? When is Peter returning?""That's unclear," Kresten replied. "Peter and his wife are still in Carvonia, supposedly for her treatment. In their absence, Jamie has been managing Nexus Group, s

Charles smiled faintly. "It's just human nature at play. Now that they know about our relationship, they won't let this golden opportunity slip by." His tone was calm and matter-of-fact.Noelle sighed softly. "Exactly. That's why I didn't want to make our relationship public in the first place. The moment they found out, they'd use me as a bridge to get to you.""It's greed," Charles said simply. "And with your legitimate connection to me, not taking advantage would be foolish." He continued drying Noelle's hair with careful, deliberate movements, as though handling something exceptionally precious.Noelle nodded reluctantly. "I know, but it's still exhausting.""You can't let their behavior make you feel stifled," Charles replied. "Our marriage is legitimate. There's no need for us to hide it or live in secrecy.""I suppose you're right," Noelle admitted, throwing up her hands in resignation. "But what should we do now? Are you really going to that dinner? You know they're just w

Charles raised a brow, his hand gently squeezing Noelle's arm before effortlessly shifting her into the correct position.Noelle spun around, wrapping her legs around Charles' solid waist while her arms clung to his neck. Her eyes sparkled as she smiled mischievously. "So, you do get jealous, after all!""Jealous?" Charles frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with the term. "Your husband isn't jealous; this is simply asserting ownership." With that, he leaned down and captured Noelle's lips in a kiss.Soft and fresh, the sensation was something he felt he could never get enough of.Charles kissed her deeply, his tenderness drawing Noelle into his embrace. Her arms slackened as she nearly slipped from his grasp, but Charles was quick to catch her by the waist, steadying her."You're hopeless," Charles murmured, a trace of exasperation in his tone as he tapped her nose. Noelle was unbothered as she playfully nudged his waist before leaning in to kiss him again.…The next mornin

When Noelle left Phoenix Tree Residence, the spring breeze was already warm and pleasant. However, Charles, ever the cautious one, insisted she bring an extra jacket to avoid catching a cold. Unable to argue with him, Noelle grabbed a jacket and hurried to her destination.Teresa was already waiting at their usual spot, but Rowena was nowhere to be seen. Spotting Noelle, Teresa waved her over. "Noelle, over here!"From a distance, Noelle saw Teresa standing calmly by the square, her hands tucked into her coat pockets. When she noticed Noelle approaching, Teresa pulled her hands out to wave again. Noelle ran over quickly. "Have you been waiting long?""Not too long," Teresa replied with a smile, her gaze sweeping over Noelle. "It's been a while since I last saw you. You seem... a little fuller than before.""Fuller?"Noelle instinctively looked down at herself. She had not noticed, but now that Teresa mentioned it, she did feel like she had put on some weight. Pinching her cheeks a

Grant pocketed his phone, a faint smile curling on his lips as he glanced at Noelle. With a subtle tilt of his head, he walked toward her, his tall frame exuding effortless poise.His gaze briefly flickered to the shopping bags in her hands before he greeted her in his signature gentlemanly tone. "Ms. Shaw.""Mr. Anderson," Noelle replied, managing a smile. "What a coincidence."Grant nodded slightly. "Indeed, it's quite the coincidence. Are you shopping alone?" His eyes shifted to the collection of bags she was holding.Snapping out of her thoughts, Noelle quickly shook her head. "Oh no, I'm here with my friends… Wait, where did they go?" She suddenly realized that Teresa and Rowena were nowhere to be seen.Scratching her head awkwardly, she muttered, "They must have wandered into another store." She glanced at Grant. "What about you, Mr. Anderson? Are you shopping alone?"Grant shook his head. "Not really. It's not every day I get the chance to visit Brookville, so I decided to
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1097
The two of them arrived at the café, which, as Noelle mentioned, had a pleasant ambiance. At this time of day, it was not too crowded.Grant placed Noelle's shopping bags neatly to the side. Ever the gentleman, he pulled out a chair for her. Noelle sat down as a server promptly approached them. "Good day. What would you like to order?""A cup of iced cappuccino. Mr. Anderson, what about you?" Noelle asked."Blue Mountain," Grant replied and then added, "Make hers a hot cappuccino as well. I'd suggest skipping the ice. It's not great for your health at this time."Grant's deep and soothing voice carried a certain warmth. He looked at Noelle with a polite smile. "I hope you don't mind.""Not at all. Hot cappuccino it is, then," she replied.After the server left, Noelle's eyes lingered on Grant. She could not seem to look away, her gaze fixed intently on him.Grant met her stare with calm composure, a faint smile tugging at his lips. "Do you have something to say, Ms. Shaw?" he as
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1098
Grant noticed the faint desolation on Noelle's face. He hesitated, as if wanting to say something. However, he eventually dropped his gaze and maintained an air of nonchalance. "It's nothing."Noelle pressed her lips together briefly. "Since you're not who I thought, Mr. Anderson, I won't trouble you further." She no longer had the energy to linger in ambiguity. If Grant was not going to provide answers, there was no point in pressing the matter.Grant nodded slightly without protest. When Noelle stood up, he followed suit. "Let me walk you out, Ms. Shaw.""That won't be necessary. I drove here," she said, pointing toward the parking area outside. "My car is just in the lot."Grant gave a small nod of understanding. "In that case, let me at least help carry your things to the car."Noelle did not decline. Together, they left the shopping mall, with Grant carrying her bags. Their silence as they walked was unexpectedly comfortable, and their footsteps were in sync.As they neared

"Sean, stop messing around. Let go of me first," Liliana tugged at Sean's arm, realizing how tightly he was holding her. "You're choking me."Only then did Sean loosen his grip slightly, though he still did not let her go. His forehead rested against hers, and he panted softly. "Liliana, do you remember what you said to me in the fire?"Liliana's face turned red, and she awkwardly turned her head away. "N-No, I don't remember. What did I say? I don't think I—mmph..."Before she could finish, Sean kissed her, swallowing the rest of her words with that one stubborn kiss.Liliana raised her hands and smacked Sean on the shoulder, trying to push him away. "Sea—mmph, what are you doing? Let me go..."She shoved him hard, and Sean stumbled back, clutching his chest. Liliana's face went pale, and she rushed over. "Sean, what's wrong? Are you okay? Did I hurt you somewhere?"Nonetheless, Sean took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her again. That feeling of holding her tightly

Noelle raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say that."Then, she added, "That knot in Liliana's heart can only be undone by Sean."What happened back then had always been a shadow between the two of them. Noelle had noticed it these past few days. Though Liliana stubbornly claimed she no longer cared, she clutched her phone every single day, obviously waiting for a call.Liliana's social circle was small. Noelle and the others knew everyone she knew. Who else could she be waiting for but Sean?Charles furrowed his brows. "If Liliana can't have the best, then she's better off with nothing."Noelle could not help but laugh. "Alright, alright. I know you're still holding a grudge against Hayes and Savannah."Honestly, Noelle shared the sentiment. "Savannah really crossed a line with how she handled everything."Charles reached out and gently pinched Noelle's knuckles. "That's not what I meant."Noelle chuckled, exasperated. "I know."Outside, the sound of a car engine drew their attentio

Sean shoved Hayes away. "Dad, if you're just like Mom and trying to stop me from being with Liliana, then don't even bother. If I can't marry Liliana in this lifetime, I won't marry anyone else."With that, Sean lay down decisively. Hayes frowned. "Sean, this isn't about what we want anymore. It's about Liliana and Charles now."Truthfully, Hayes did not have many opinions about Sean and Liliana's relationship. He was always too busy with the company to pay attention to such things. Even the events from four years ago were only now becoming clearer to him."If you insist on marrying her, I won't stop you. But from what I can see, the problem lies with Liliana and Charles."Sean's gaze sharpened as he clenched his fists. "That's impossible. Liliana already forgave me back when the fire happened. She promised that if we both made it out, she'd marry me."Hayes sighed. "Your mother… She misunderstood Liliana and said some harsh things. Just rest for now. Once you're better, we'll go
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2126
Sean spat out a mouthful of blood. One hand gripped the bedsheet tightly, his gaze turning darker than ever."What do you mean by that? What do you mean she doesn't want to marry me? She promised me. She said that as long as I was willing to walk out of that fire with her, she'd be with me. You're lying to me, aren't you? Tell me you're lying to me."Sean's bloodshot eyes locked on Savannah's. "Tell me."Savannah was momentarily stunned by the sheer force of Sean's gaze. This was the first time she ever felt fear in front of her own son. "Sean, I…""Where's Liliana?" Sean demanded."Sean," Hayes called out as he pushed open the door and stepped in. "That's no way to speak to your mother.""Then how should I speak to her?" Sean's voice turned icy."Did you know it was Joanna who drugged me nine years ago? And while I was under the influence, I forced myself on Liliana? I misunderstood her, and as a result, she had to hide in the countryside for years."Four years ago, it was me

The operating room door swung open, and Liliana spun around. She saw Saxon step out. Not caring about anyone else’s opinions, she grabbed his hand. "Mr. Holt, how's Sean?"Saxon looked down at their hands, noting how soft and warm hers was. He met her eyes and nodded. "The patient is out of danger now. He should wake up by tomorrow."Hearing that, Liliana let out a sigh of relief and then suddenly fainted."Liliana!"Charles rushed over and wrapped Liliana in a tight hug, but his eyes quickly darted to Hayes and Savannah. "Now that Sean is safe, Sean's fate is no longer Liliana's concern, nor ours," he declared, speaking for the Hoffman family.With those words, Charles carried Liliana away. Saxon was tugged along by Linda. "Saxon, you should check on her. The young lady seemed off to me. She's been hiding her pain. Besides the wound on her shoulder, I think she breathed in a lot of smoke."Saxon's eyes shimmered for a moment. "Yeah, I'm aware."Liliana had been pushing through
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2124
"Charles, you…""Stop it!" Hayes was taken aback by Savannah suddenly slapping Liliana. He did not particularly like or dislike Liliana, but she was part of the Hoffman family, and their family commanded much respect. Besides, Noelle was still Charles's wife, and they had to be careful about their actions.Hayes turned to Charles. "I'm sorry, my wife acted without thinking. But what in the world happened today?"Hayes had been told that his son was hurt, but he did not know the details. When he arrived and saw Liliana was there and injured too, Hayes and Savannah could not help but think that Liliana must be connected to Sean's injury.Charles gave a sharp look. "It was Joanna's doing.""Joanna? No, that can't be!" Savannah was shocked to hear the name Joanna, and she quickly objected, "Joanna is such a sweet girl, she couldn't possibly...""Oh, sweet indeed!"Liliana, who had been silent until then, finally spoke. She narrowed her eyes and stood up, ignoring the pain from her w
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2123
"Liliana!""Get up quickly!" Liliana used all her strength to pull Sean up from the ground. "Can you walk?""Uh-huh!" Sean had been hit by a falling piece of wood on his leg when he tried to push Liliana out earlier. That was why he could not get out in time and could only hear Liliana's loud calls from outside.He had wished so badly for Liliana to leave quickly, but she had come back for him.Sean bit down hard and pushed himself up.Even if it was hard to walk, he had to try because Liliana wanted him to stand.Liliana slung Sean's arm over her shoulder, noticing his injury. Her eyes were red with tears. "Sean, hang in there. If we both make it out today, I'll forgive you. You can ask me to do anything.""Really?" Sean's eyes sparkled, and he smiled. "Liliana, I don't want you to do anything." In his heart, he added, ‘I just want you to marry me.’"The fire is licking at our heels, and you two are still dawdling," came Charles's icy voice from up ahead. In a flash, he was be

"Sean, where are you? Didn't you just say you love me?" she cried out. "How can you leave me like this, saying you love me and then j-j-just giving up? What am I supposed to do now?"Sean, you took our child from me. How could you think I'd just forgive you? If you don't make this right, I swear I'll never forgive you," Liliana yelled outside, her voice filled with madness. Inside, the plant was engulfed in flames. Shaking from head to toe, Liliana's screams slowly turned into a whisper. She clenched her hands tight, staring blankly at the fire. "If you're gone, what's left for me here?""Liliana!"Charles rushed over and saw Liliana moving toward the flames. He grabbed her and pulled her back. "What are you doing?"Liliana looked up, dazed, and saw Charles. She quickly stood up and grabbed his hand. "Charles, please. I'm begging you. Help me save Sean, please!"Charles's brow creased as he looked at the fiery red inferno, his fingers tensing. "Liliana, the fire's too big. Sean mi

Liliana shoved Sean aside and covered him with her body, taking a knife stab from Joanna. "Ugh..."Pain whitened Liliana's face, and blood dripped onto Sean's face. Reacting quickly, Sean rolled over, picked Liliana up in his arms, and seized Joanna's neck, twisting it hard until it cracked. Joanna's eyes bulged in disbelief as she stared at Sean."You..."She had not thought Sean would actually snap her neck. Her eyes were wide open, one hand clutching a knife, and the other holding a lighter.With her last breath, she tossed the lighter.A loud bang followed, and flames started to spread from that spot.Sean's eyes darkened as he carried Liliana and dashed for the exit. However, how could he outrun the swift spread of the fire while burdened with Liliana's weight?Liliana's eyes widened as she saw the flames creeping up behind them. She pushed Sean, urging him, "Go now, or it'll be too late!"However, Sean's eyes turned a deep red with emotion. "Liliana, I won't let go of you
