"No way!" Tania gasped. "She didn't breathe a word of this to me!""You’re speaking to her?" Charles squinted, pressing on. "You've been keeping tabs on her this whole time?""Yep!" Tania hesitated, then revealed, "Yeah, we've crossed paths, but she’s really independent and not too keen on small talk, just like..." Tania let out a sigh. "Anyway, why'd she come back all of a sudden? She swore she was done with this place, right?"Tania knew Liliana like the back of her hand. It was clear Brookville had left some deep scars from the way she had cut ties and left everything behind, risking her own life. Tania was sure Liliana would never set foot here again. "Charles, have you seen Liliana around?""Nope!" Charles shook his head. "I've kept an eye on her comings and goings over the years, but I've never tried to hold her back. Her coming back this time..." Charles trailed off, unsure. "Sean's been off his game lately, so I figured I'd ask Peter to check if Liliana's still hanging arou

Peter quirked an eyebrow. "Losing my sense of shame? I think you've got me beat there!" He huffed, "Is there anything else, or can I go?""So, what's the latest with you?""Still no leads on this end. How about you? What's going on? I heard from Lareal that Kelly's back in town?" Peter's tone sharpened when he spoke of Kelly. "I always said that girl was trouble.""Every life is precious," Charles countered, not out of any real kindness, but because Kelly had once saved his life. He could not just ignore her plight, especially after she had pleaded with him for help."I hear Grant's in town too?"Charles's expression darkened a bit at that. "You're always on top of gossip, aren't you?""Did you forget that Somerset Group and Nexus are in cahoots? Jamie told me Grant's already reached out to him," Peter said. He casually waved his hand, signaling Tania to take Brandon out for some fun. Once they were gone, he leaned in. "You're digging around to see if Grant and Joshua are one and

"Okay!"...Back at the Shaw residence, Julian was visibly upset after bringing Jade and Winter straight home from Bamboo Grove House. Winter had been reluctant to return, but she did not dare utter a word to Julian’s furious face. She had never seen him this angry before.Usually, Jade would try to smooth things over when Julian was mad, but even she sensed that today was different. After hearing Winter's voice on Charles's phone, Jade was too scared to speak up.Julian confronted Winter. "I can't believe you. I warned you time and time again not to fight with Noelle. How could you just forget?""Dad," Winter protested, feeling unjustly accused, "you saw it yourself. Noelle was the one picking a fight with me. I've spoken to her like that before, but she's never reacted the way she did today." Winter's sense of injustice was deep, fueled by her belief that she was standing up for the Shaw family and City Ring Corp."Noelle was throwing her weight around as Charles's wife, acting
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1118
"You...""Dad, Mom, what are you guys talking about?" Winter eyed Julian and Jade suspiciously, not quite getting the gist of their conversation. "I know Noelle isn't my real sister. Mom told me ages ago. Who is Noelle's real mom? Do you both know her?""Nope. Kids like you don't need to know everything, and it's way past bedtime. Head to your room and go to bed!" Julian was obviously done talking.Winter felt like she was being left hanging. She gave Jade and Julian a puzzled look, but Julian was not spilling any beans. With no way to persuade him, Winter had no choice but to drop it. However, she made a mental note to grill her mom about it when she could.Once Winter was out of earshot, Julian's face turned serious again. He glared at Jade. "From now on, keep some things from Winter, okay? Don't drag her into our drama." Even though Julian was not exactly the world’s number one dad to Noelle, she was still being raised as the Shaw family's second lady, and he could not be too ha

Joseph was just as furious as Julian, having stormed out of Bamboo Grove House too. He could not hold back his rage. "That idiot! She had the chance of a lifetime, and she blew it," he fumed. Meeting Charles was like striking gold, and they had finally gotten close to him. How could Winter be so clueless at such a pivotal moment?To make matters worse, she had to name-drop Kelly at the most crucial moment."Idiot!"Xavier, who had been silent all evening, let out a mocking snort. His eyes flickered with resentment, but his smirk proved he was enjoying the disaster. "Dad, remember how you wouldn't shut up about how perfect Winter was? You wanted me to marry her so bad. Well, look how that turned out.""You..." Joseph's face flushed with anger. "I don't care how you do it, but you're taking Winter to see Noelle tomorrow, and you're going to apologize to her." Joseph could see right through the act. Charles's feelings for Noelle were real, and his behavior at Bamboo Grove House was no

Her outfit was on the revealing side, which might have been too light for the chilly weather, but she did not seem to care. Biting her lip, deep in thought, she paused at the door of Room 3808. Taking a deep breath, she flung the door open.The room was buzzing with people tossing dice and a few guys playfully teasing some girls. The sudden entrance made everyone freeze."Who are you?"With a slight smile playing on her lips and the dim light casting shadows on her face, she stepped forward, her gaze drifting over the crowd before locking onto a man nearby. She sauntered over, grabbed a glass, filled it with liquor, and offered it to the man. "Mr. Canfield. Does this ring any bells?"Yankel Canfield's brow creased. The dim light made it hard to see her features, but her voice was captivating. It was almost meltingly sweet."Who are you?" Yankel's eyes revealed his confusion, a far cry from the carefree man in the photo. He peered at the woman standing before him.She flashed a mi

Stunned, Liliana glanced sideways as surprise flashed through her eyes. However, she quickly disguised it and walked over to reach her hand out and help Yankel to his feet. “Are you alright?” “I’m fine!” Yankel shook his head before he looked forward. An indescribable expression appeared on his face the minute his gaze landed on Sean. “Mr. Smith?” Sean’s hands were balled into fists, and the cold and murderous aura that emanated from him made him seem very different than he usually did. The cold in his eyes glinted as he stared at Yankel and asked, “Why even bother getting involved in his business when this is how he treats you?” Sean gritted his teeth. "Liliana, have you lost your mind?” “You’re the one who’s lost their mind. Your entire family is crazy!” Liliana said as she glared at Sean. “I’m warning you, Sean Smith. Stop poking your nose around, or I’ll have you beat up every time I see you!” Liliana’s eyes were frosty as she glared at Sean, and not even a hint of her prev

“Yes, I am an *sshole. What about you? Would you take an *sshole like me back?” Finally, the sound of Sean speaking quietly rang out in Liliana’s ears. That sentence felt like a spring breeze in March that soothed her heart. She blinked and stared at Sean as if he were a stranger before she started laughing. She reached out and grabbed Sean’s hand, slowly stepping toward him as he backed away from her. Liliana’s eyes narrowed when she noticed the way Sean was acting, and she finally managed to corner him. She pressed one hand against the wall, a gentle smile on her face as she slowly made her way toward him and leaned forward to puff a breath of air against his ear. When she noticed the tips of his ears growing red, Liliana smiled and opened her mouth to nibble at his ear. She did not bite down hard enough to injure him, but it still brought about a stinging pain. Liliana noticed Sean curling his hands into fists as if he were fighting the urge to do something. Her eyes crinkled

"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

"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

"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
