The Cherished Wife Chapter 1104
At Charles’ words, everyone rose to their feet as if pulled by strings. Even Winter could not help but stand in the presence of Charles's commanding aura, though it was begrudgingly. Xavier's gaze was glued to Charles and Noelle from the moment they appeared.Charles was the picture of casual cool in his light knit shirt and jeans, his face a blend of boyish charm and a magnetism that seemed to draw the eye. He might have looked like a fresh-faced twenty-something, but the intensity in his eyes was impossible to overlook.Noelle was wearing a chic, light-colored sweater paired with the same style of jeans as her partner, making them look perfectly matched.They entered the room with an air of effortless confidence. Charles quickly pulled out a chair for Noelle and joined her after she was seated. As his piercing eyes took in the room, he paused. "Why's everyone on their feet?""Take a seat, everyone!" Joseph was the first to snap out of it, his gaze flicking to Charles and Noelle's

"Yes, we’ve met!" Charles nodded, his eyes warmly meeting Julian and Jade's. "Hello, future in-laws." He then called out, "Ronald!"Right on cue, the door swung open, and in came Ronald with two bodyguards in tow. Both bodyguards were holding a bunch of fancy stuff. "You know, Noelle and I have always wanted to keep our marriage just between ourselves, but since she's brought it up, we have to do things right. Ronald!""Got it!" Ronald gave a quick nod and had the bodyguards hand Julian some health-boosting goodies. "Take a look, sir!""Oh, there's no need for this!" Julian could tell from Charles's tone that this gesture was a big deal, and it was clear that he was only doing this for Noelle."I made a vow to Noelle when I married her, and I plan to keep it. I'll treat her right for the rest of our days. I never want to hear any more nonsense about me ditching Noelle. Whether she needs me or not, she's the only one for me. Noelle is my wife, and that's that," Charles declared with

"Get you? Parents and matchmakers have always been in charge of marriage decisions. How can you go and get married without a peep to us, and now you drop this bomb? After all the blood, sweat, and tears we poured into raising you, this is the thanks we get?" Jade could not take it anymore. Her hand came crashing down on the table, her glare fierce as she faced Noelle. "What's the most valuable thing a woman possesses? How can you be so careless with yourself?""Mom, you've got it all wrong," Noelle shot back, her voice steady. "I value myself a lot. That's why I was super picky and chose Charles, who treats me like a queen. That proves I've got good taste, right? If I've got good taste, then I'm definitely taking care of myself.""He's good to you? If he was, would he leave you with nothing? Do you realize you'll be left with nothing if he dumps you one day?""Enough!" Julian cut in sharply. "What kind of talk is that?"Julian pulled Jade back with a firm grip, making her sit down.
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1107
Every word Noelle spoke was the truth, and it stung like a slap to everyone from the Shaw and Hoffman families gathered there, especially Winter and Jade. If they had not interfered in the first place, pushing Noelle into a corner, she might never have crossed paths with Charles, much less tied the knot with him.Noelle was not just trying to get a rise out of Jade and Winter. She genuinely felt a little grateful. Without their meddling, she would not have met Charles and might still be stuck with a broken heart. They had wounded her so deeply that the thought of turning back never crossed her mind. Then Charles showed up and was so kind to her that falling for him was inevitable.Jade's face was frozen in a grimace. She was itching to lash out, but she held her tongue around Charles, making a mental note to deal with Noelle later when he was not around.Noelle was all too aware of the petty plot brewing in Jade's mind. That was exactly why she had to play her cards right today!Ri
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1108
Noelle's lips quirked into a mischievous smile as she rummaged through her purse, her gaze steady and unfazed as she watched Winter. Winter's expression contorted at her words.It hit her then that Charles or Sean had been around every time she had run into Noelle, always ready to defend her."You were already married to Charles back then? So, you were watching me like I was just some clown putting on a show?" Winter gasped, totally blindsided by Noelle's true colors.She thought back to all the times she had faced off with Noelle, who had always just taken it sitting down. Noelle's lips quirked up in a ghost of a smile. "If that's how you want to see it, sure. But I'm not that twisted. If you didn’t lash out at me, I would never speak to you.”"How dare you! Noelle, do you think marrying Charles has given you the right to act all high and mighty? Did you forget about Kelly? She's Charles's fiancee, and they've even got a kid together. You're nothing but a Kelly clone. Do you act
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1109
Noelle let out a scornful laugh. "The state of my relationship with Charles is none of your business. Whether I get divorced or end up miserable doesn't concern you. Do you think you can play me to get a piece of Charles' pie? Dream on!"Noelle's expression turned stone-cold, not giving Winter the time of day. "I'm here now for Grandpa's sake, but don't expect me to care about anyone's feelings after today!"Noelle did not hesitate. She just swung the bathroom door open and stepped out. Winter stormed out after her, her face contorted with resentment. "What's with the attitude, Noelle? You're just an unwanted orphan! You're not a real Shaw like me. My parents took you in out of pity and treated you like their own. Now you're married, you think you can just leave us behind? After all my parents have done for you, you turn out to be nothing but an ungrateful brat!"Winter's voice was a roar, her words spilling out in a furious torrent. As soon as the tirade was over, she felt a pang o

"What? You..."Winter's face drained of color in an instant as she stared at Noelle, her eyes wide with shock. "How could you?" She could not fathom Noelle's betrayal.When did Noelle become such a wild card?Winter gazed at Noelle as if she were a creature from another world. "How could you let someone else listen in on our private discussion? We're sisters!" Her words tumbled out in a rush of fury.Oh no!If Charles heard what she just said, what would he think?A flicker of uncertainty crossed Winter's eyes, her thoughts a mystery. The sight of Noelle's self-satisfied smirk made her face twist with anger. "You're playing me! Noelle, that's so low!""Playing you? What would I even gain from that?" Noelle huffed dismissively. "Anyway, my hubby can't stand being apart from me for too long. He gets all sulky. I’d better head back. If you want to hang out in the bathroom a bit longer, feel free to do that."Noelle pocketed her phone, her face the picture of serenity. She spun on

"Listen, Mr. Hoffman. Winter’s just..."Before Joseph could finish his sentence, the door to the private room swung open again. Noelle strolled in, her smile bright as her eyes quickly picked up on the tense vibe. "What's up?" she chuckled, glancing at the full spread on the table. "The food's all out. Why's no one digging in?"Taking a seat next to Charles, Noelle's eyes landed on his phone on the table, and a flicker of surprise crossed her face.She had not given it much thought before, but she remembered how Winter always fought with her whenever they met up alone. Sometimes, Noelle was ready for her, but other times, Winter caught her completely off guard.Eventually, Noelle wised up. Whenever she had to face Winter one-on-one, she made sure to have a backup—like keeping Charles on call.She had meant to rile Winter up but did not count on how easily Winter could be set off. She would spill her guts if you provoked her just a little.The fact that Winter had revealed Noelle’

"I'm heading back to Phoenix Tree Residence this time, and we'll definitely be passing this way. These spots here are where it's easiest to take action!" Charles explained, turning to Steven. "Mr. Fischer, can your crew handle these places?"Steven did not look too great, but he glanced at Charles, checked out the spots on the map, and nodded. "Sure can!""What about these points, Peter? You got them?"Peter nodded. "You're set on going back to Phoenix Tree Residence? Right now, it seems way safer to head to the Hoffman Residence!"Simon could not hold back any longer and blurted out, "How can you all be so sure someone's going to strike tomorrow?"Charles just smiled a little. "I’m not sure!"Simon let out a scoff. "You expect me to buy that?"Charles always seemed like the type who had things figured out. He must have his reasons for planning like that, but Simon had not figured them out yet. "You act like you know my brother better than I do!""This is his last chance!" Char

Simon's smile faded a bit. "You're right again, bro. It's been days without a peep from Ms. Anderson. I sure hope she's not... gone."However, Simon's words made the air around them grow tense. He could feel the chilling vibe coming off Jacob, who was clearly not happy, even though he did not show it. Simon knew then that this Kelly person must be pretty special to Jacob.After Jacob walked away, Simon rubbed his chin and snorted softly before returning to his room.No sooner had Simon settled in than he got a message. Charles's message was clear: hold off on buying any more shares of the York Group until then.Simon set his phone aside and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He had a clear view of the rock garden in the York family's backyard from his bedroom window.He never imagined that secrets would still be hidden in the shadows after living with the Yorks for so many years. However, Simon could not help but smirk. After witnessing that awful moment between that man and his mother

Simon raised an eyebrow. "Haven't I always been at the company?"Simon's slouchy look made Jacob frown a little. "I'm talking about actually working at the company, not just having a title and doing nothing. You're part of the York family, so when the family needs help, you should pitch in!""Jacob, the York family has you, and that's plenty. I know what you can do, and don't you know me? I might just bungle everything up." Simon pulled out his hands, leaned back against the wall with a cigarette case and lighter in hand, and gave them a spin. He paused, then said, "By the way, why did you suddenly go overseas? Is the York Group doing business there?"Simon's offhand question made Jacob's eyes snap to him sharply. "When did you start caring about these things?""Oh, it's no big deal, just some small talk over drinks today. Someone said you started a company overseas. I didn't believe it. We're all Yorks here. How could we not know if you were doing something like that?"Jacob squi

Jacob pushed the door open and stepped inside, spotting Jeanette seated in a recliner with a Bible in her hands. She read it nearly daily, and it had grown worn over time.Jacob's gaze fell on Jeanette, and he noticed she was also sizing him up. Lifting his eyes, he let a faint smile curve his lips as he walked over. "Grandma, what are you reading?" he asked."Do you not see what I'm looking at?" Jeanette asked, her face suddenly serious. "Jacob, did you forget what I've told you before?""I remember, Grandma," Jacob said, worried she might not believe him. He moved a chair next to her and started to gently massage her legs.However, Jeanette was not so easily tricked. She brushed Jacob's hand away and looked at him with a stern face, very different from her usual warm smile. "Jacob, I may be old, but I'm not blind. Years have gone by. Your grandpa's gone, your dad's gone, and all I want now is for you to live a good life."She reached out and touched Jacob's face. On closer inspe

Yves came back from the hospital and headed straight for the York family home. The mood there was heavy with worry. Everyone was scared that the trouble from two days ago might come back to haunt them.They could not forget how Simon had carried Ms. Anderson out of the house, and the serious warning he had given them.Harold had done some digging and found out that Kelly really was Harrison's daughter. She had not known Harrison when she was little, so the Anderson family from Capiton had taken her in. Just like the Hoffmans and the Smiths from Brookville, the Andersons were not the kind of people they would want to mess with.Kelly might not have been the apple of the Anderson family's eye, but Grant sure treated her well. Now that the Smith family had welcomed her back, Kelly had both the Andersons and the Smiths watching her back. Getting on the bad side of either family was definitely not a good idea.Harold did not usually bother with petty matters. However, with Jacob away an

Eloise's fingers shook just a little, but she nodded seriously. "Take your medicine, get better, and I'll go. Just don't send me away now, please."With that, Eloise held out the glass of water to Steven again. "You need to take care of yourself. You haven't had any rest for days."Steven stared at Eloise's defiant face and suddenly laughed mockingly. He stood up, towering over her with his tall frame. He tilted her chin up with his long fingers, his icy eyes locking onto her bare face. His words cut deep. "You seem to have forgotten that you're just a pawn to me. Even your name, Eloise, was chosen by me. Remember your place!"Eloise's face went white as she heard his words. Her hands balled into fists at her sides. She tried to read his expression, but his eyes were like ice—no warmth nor emotion."Yes, I've always known who I am," Eloise said quietly, looking down. "If it weren't for you, I'd probably still be lost."She looked up again, her eyes then as cool and detached as his

Charles squinted at him. "You don't seem too happy to have me around!""No, no, don't get me wrong. Noelle and Kelly are my sisters, and they’re part of the Smith family. I wouldn't ever dislike them! But don't you think you're wasting resources by being here?"Sean was practically pleading. "Look, if you're not smart with your money, that's fine by me!""Silly Sean! You just said they're your sisters, yet now you're talking about money?" Charles raised an eyebrow. Sean's face fell. "I messed up. I don't want your money. I'll pay you to leave, okay?"Charles just smirked. "Alright, I'll have my things packed up and head out in a couple of days."Sean let out a big sigh of relief. "Okay! I'll have someone clean up for you right away. It won't even take two days. We'll have it done today!" After saying that, Sean whistled cheerfully and bounced away.Charles rubbed his forehead, a bit frustrated, and quickly reviewed the latest reports about the Collosus Group.Steven had been sec

Yves's car lingered long at the hospital entrance, finally pulling away as the last bit of night faded.Yves had been hanging around the hospital entrance for a while, and the secret guard who was watching him had already told Charles about it. Actually, Charles had seen the car parked outside the hospital on the security screen a long time ago.Charles was staring at the screen, lost in thought.After a bit, a tiny smile appeared on his face, and his eyes sparkled.Charles was surprised that Yves cared so much about Kelly. He was brave enough to come there all by himself, even though it was dangerous. The hospital was full of their own people. If Charles had not been sitting there and had caught Yves instead, this whole thing might already be over.The door to the hospital room opened, and Sean, who was tall and striking, stood there. He had been at the hospital a lot those days, staying close ever since he started looking after Kelly. Linda was there too.Every day, Linda was b

"You must really want to die!" Yves twisted his hand, and Elon's arm popped out of its socket. "Who told you the York family has a dungeon? My father? Or...""No! The old master has nothing to do with this!""Hmph!" Yves glared at Elon. "You never saw me as your master, did you? Only my father?" Yves squeezed Elon's cheek. "What did my father give you that made you remain so loyal, even years after his death?""Nothing... You are my master. The old master gave me my life and asked me to follow you for all of it, so no matter what you do, I will obey.""Then why didn't you listen when I said not to hurt her?" A dangerous look flickered in Yves' eyes. "Hmm?""Because I know she'll mess up your big plans, Sir. You don't see it now, but one day you'll understand that I am doing all this for you." Elon clenched his teeth against the pain. "Sir, please see the truth. This woman will only hold you back. Even if you take my life now, I won't complain, but don't let her ruin your big plans
