"Impossible?" Grant's icy gaze fixed on Kelly. "When Charles met Noelle, where were you? Do you really think Charles' feelings for Noelle over six months could have developed this deeply?"Kelly's face went pale instantly. She staggered back two steps, her back colliding with the couch. Her hands gripped the armrest tightly, and she clenched her teeth. "You're lying. How could you possibly know this? You're lying to me, aren't you?""Why would I lie to you? Before I came, I already investigated everything. If Charles had even the slightest affection for you, I wouldn't hesitate to help you. After all, a marriage alliance between the Hoffman and Aderson families would benefit the Anderson family greatly. But Charles doesn't love you, and that's the biggest reason I won't help you.""I don't believe you!"Grant rubbed his temples and called Kresten. "Bring me the documents I asked for earlier."Kresten arrived swiftly, handing over a folder to Grant. "Sir!"Grant took the documents

"Once you let go, you can start a new life. Knowing there's no future, why persist in your delusions?" Grant said, standing with his hands behind his back. His cold gaze fell upon Kelly, devoid of warmth. It was as if he truly harbored no feelings for her."If you want to leave now, I can have Kresten book your flight.""No, I won't leave!" Kelly shook her head firmly. "So what if I'm just a substitute? I refuse to believe that my years with Charlie are worth less than Noelle's mere six months with him. They met when they were just kids—how could there possibly be real feelings involved?""You're still clinging to this?" Grant frowned. "If you insist on this path, I won't indulge you any longer. Don't think I'm unaware of what you did while you were in Carvonia. If Charles could uncover it, so could I.""I…" Kelly bit her lip. "Why do you all have to interfere? This is my life, and I have the right to choose my own path!""Perhaps three years ago, if you hadn't chosen that road, C

Noelle raised an eyebrow but sat down anyway. "Ms. Anderson, please go ahead."Kelly hesitated, staring at Noelle. "Don't you have anything you want to say?"Noelle looked puzzled. "What should I say?""You must feel so proud!" Kelly bit her lip. "Knowing you're not my substitute and that Charles has always loved you—doesn't that make you smug? You must be smug that you're not the stand-in but that I'm actually yours. Don't you have anything to say about that?""What should I say?" Noelle asked, clearly confused by Kelly's words. "I don't quite understand what you mean, Ms. Anderson. To be honest, I'm not feeling proud at all, because the love between Charles and me has never needed validation like this. Whether you appeared or not, it wouldn't have changed our relationship.""I don't believe you!" Kelly clenched her fists, clearly unwilling to accept Noelle's answer. "How can you possibly not care? After finding out about my existence, I don't believe you felt absolutely nothing.

Grant stepped back and stood upright, nodding calmly at Noelle before smiling slightly. "I figured you wouldn't stay up there too long, so I decided to wait downstairs."Noelle's lips twitched as she struggled to decipher Grant's intentions. This man seemed even more reserved and enigmatic than Charles. Perhaps it was because she did not know Grant well, but there was an undeniable air of mystery about him."Ms. Shaw?" Grant broke the silence with a faint smile. "If you still have matters to attend to, I won't insist. Though it would be a shame to miss this opportunity."Noelle's lips curled slightly in exasperation. "Get in the car, Mr. Anderson."Grant complied, opening the car door and settling himself inside without hesitation. Noelle watched him briefly before climbing in as well. "Aren't you curious about what your sister and I talked about, Mr. Anderson?""You spoke about what needed to be discussed. Why? Do you wish to share it with me?" Grant buckled his seatbelt and turn

Noelle didn't catch the hint of dissatisfaction in Charles' tone and continued talking on her own, "Are you still at work? What would you like to eat later? I can bring something home for you.""No need, just come back early.""Alright, got it!" Noelle ended the call and turned to see Grant had finished his own call and was now looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze.Feeling slightly unsettled under his stare, Noelle quickly put her phone away. "Mr. Anderson, are you done with your call?""My apologies." Grant offered her a polite smile. "Ms. Shaw, you seem to be in a particularly good mood?""Yes!" Noelle smiled back, unbuckling her seatbelt and stepping out of the car. "Would you like to stretch your legs? Vista University is just across the street. If you'd like to take a look, I can show you around.""That would be great."Noelle had only made the suggestion out of courtesy and did not expect Grant to actually agree. She hesitated briefly before nodding and leading the way.
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1151
Noelle's eyes widened in surprise before she turned to Sebastian and Grant with a hint of suspicion. "Grandpa, do you know Mr. Anderson?"Recovering from her initial shock, Noelle quickly clarified, "Grandpa, this gentleman is Mr. Anderson. He might resemble my Uncle Joshua, but he's definitely not him!" she said, her cheeks flushing slightly as she glanced at Grant. "Mr. Anderson, meet my grandpa. He used to teach at Vista University.""Pleased to meet you, Sir Jones!" Grant reached out, shaking hands with Sebastian. "My name's Grant."Sebastian locked eyes with Grant, his gaze intense and evaluating. It was only after a tense moment that Sebastian finally let go as Noelle nervously watched. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Anderson.""Grandpa, Mr. Anderson is new to Brookville. He's working with Colossus Group, and today, I'm showing him some good old-fashioned hospitality!"Sebastian nodded. "This young man does bear a striking resemblance to Joshua, but they're quite different in charac
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1152
Grant's eyes narrowed, a storm of emotions brewing behind them. It took a moment before he finally spoke. "Grandpa!""I can't accept that title, kid. I'm no grandpa of yours. I have nothing to do with the Andersons, so let's skip the formalities."Grant's brow creased in frustration. "How long do you think you can keep this under wraps?" His lips tightened as he faced Sebastian's dismissive stance. "Noelle's all grown up now. She deserves to know the truth. Do you really think you can keep it from her? She's too smart for that!""Enough!" Sebastian cut him off sharply. "Let me make this clear: Noelle is my granddaughter, and she has nothing to do with the Andersons. You don't need to pretend there's a connection. Flynn hasn't even brought it up, so why are you doing this?"Grant hesitated. "Father...""I'm not interested in the Andersons' business," Sebastian declared firmly. "Noelle doesn't have the Anderson name, which makes things very clear. Whatever you're plotting, just know
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1153
Charles let out a sharp snort. "If you're just here to waste my time, get lost!""Wait, wait, wait," Sean quickly said, hands up in a peace offering. "I'm here for real business, I swear!" He sauntered over and perched on the edge of Charles's desk, tapping it with his long fingers. "Collosus Group is in cahoots with Canfield Group, right?""Canfield Group?" Charles raised an eyebrow, curious."Come on. Yankel’s group! Don't play dumb about the real dad of Liliana's kid!" Sean's voice carried a hint of exhaustion. "You know the deal. Bobby's got leukemia. Only his real parents' bone marrow can save him, and Liliana says Yankel's the guy."So, what do you think? Is he Bobby's dad?" Charles rose to his feet, catching a glimpse of an unusually crestfallen expression on Sean's face.Sean's lips quivered as he forced a smile. "What do you think?" He did not want to believe it, but this was about Bobby’s well-being and safety. Liliana would never play games with a child's life, so there

"Don't forget that I was already with Keith before you and I... You know. It's normal for couples to be together like that, right? Did you really think you were the only one for me?""Liliana," Sean was clearly upset. "This isn't like you.”"No! Don't you know me well enough by now?" Liliana clenched her teeth, staring into Sean's intense gaze. She gathered her courage, balled her fists, and silently cheered herself on. "Keith is good to me. If it hadn't been for that slip-up with you, things between Keith and me would be even better now."While she said that, Liliana was inwardly apologizing to Keith.She had to lie to keep the baby. "If you don't believe me, just wait until my boyfriend gets here. You can ask him yourself. No guy would be okay with his girlfriend being with someone else. I never told him about us. I just thought of it as a mistake.""That's enough," Sean's voice was icy as he cut her off. He could not bear to hear Liliana talk about another man, especially when
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2051
After Sean said those words, he immediately wished he could take it back. He saw Liliana’s face, which was already ghostly white, lose even more color.He tried to reach out and comfort her, but Liliana pushed his hand away. Her lips trembled as she spoke, and her hands were balled into fists. "What gives you the right to talk about my baby? Whether he's born or not, what's it to you?""Liliana." Sean was taken aback by her fierce words. "You know I don't love you. I've always thought of you as a sister. That night was a mistake, and you don't want to keep a reminder of it, right? This baby shouldn't be born.""Stop it!" Liliana could not stand his words. "Sean, how can you be so heartless? He's a living being. You can't just decide he shouldn't exist."Liliana let out a bitter laugh. "Oh, I get it. You're scared, right? You've always treated me like a sister, but now you've crossed a line with your 'sister’. Are you scared of the gossip? Or are you just afraid of people saying you
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2050
A man's clear and calm voice rang out. Liliana fully awakened, blinking in surprise as she looked toward the speaker.It was Sean. It was actually him.Her face turned pale, and her fingers clenched the blanket tightly as she looked at him with a trace of fear.He was here. Did that mean he already knew about the pregnancy?Liliana bit her lip and slowly inched backward as though she were truly afraid of Sean.What she did not realize was that her reaction felt like a knife in Sean's chest. He thought that she did not want to see him and did not want him near her, which was why she instinctively pulled away.Sean stood there with a deep frown, his expression dark and unreadable. His eyes were fixed on Liliana.Her body trembled. Every time she thought of what Sean had said to her that day, she felt like she could not bear it.She bit down harder on her lip and tried her best not to look at him, as if lowering her presence could make everything disappear. She wished desperately

"That was an accident." Sean gritted his teeth, clenching his fists tightly as veins popped across his knuckles.Peter glanced at him with slightly furrowed brows. "The first time might've been an accident. What about the second time? Sean, you're too deep inside to see clearly. Do you really know what you want?"Sean was about to speak again, but Tania came out of the ward at that moment. Sensing the tension between the two men, she raised a brow. "What's going on?""Nothing. Let's go," Peter replied, slipping his long arm around her and pulling her petite figure into his embrace, holding her close."Come on, we haven't even eaten dinner yet.""Oh please, it's your fault I came, and you didn't even show up until so late."Peter and Tania walked off, their figures disappearing into the distance. However, Sean remained where he was, rooted to the spot. It was not until his body began to feel stiff that he finally pulled himself together, composed his expression, and pushed the doo

When Sean saw Liliana lying on the floor with a bright red pool of blood spreading beneath her, he had to admit that he had gotten scared. He had been scared that she might leave him just like that.Sean clenched his fists. "Take the pregnant woman to the ward."Tania hurried over. "Sean, is Liliana okay?"She saw the exhaustion all over Sean's face. "She's really pregnant? But she just lost so much blood… Is she…""She's fine. We stabilized her in time." Sean paused. "Both mother and child are safe."Only God knew that when he said those few words, a wave of emotion surged through him. It was so overwhelming it felt like it could drown him. He did not know how to describe the feeling. It was foreign.Tania let out a breath of relief. Although she was curious about how Liliana ended up pregnant, knowing that both Liliana and the baby were safe was enough for now. "Then I'll go to the ward and check on her.""The anesthesia hasn't worn off yet," Sean said. "She won't wake up toni

Sean let go of her wrist. "She's okay. It's probably—"His face froze mid-sentence as his gaze landed on the red stain beneath Liliana. His expression darkened instantly. "Quick, get her to the hospital!"Tania also noticed the red stain beneath Liliana and her expression changed slightly. "What happened? Liliana, she…"Before she could finish, Sean had already scooped Liliana up into his arms. Without waiting for Tania, he rushed out of the apartment and down the stairs with Liliana in his arms.Tania's mind was still a mess. All she could picture was that pool of blood beneath Liliana. There was not a lot, but… was Liliana really pregnant?Was what Joanna said true?Then whose child was Liliana carrying? Keith's?Tania thought back to what Joanna had just screamed at Sean and found herself growing increasingly confused. As far as she knew, Liliana and Sean were not that close.Sure, they were both students from Vista University, but Sean had always been difficult to approach.

Tania opened her mouth, momentarily stunned by the hostile air radiating off of Sean. Though she was not sure why he was acting so violently, she was the first to snap out of it.She stepped in front of him. "Sean, now's not the time to waste on her. We don't even know what's happened to Liliana yet."Sean finally released Joanna and gave a slight nod. "Let's go."The moment Sean let go of Joanna's wrist with visible disgust, Tania pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her hand as if she had touched something filthy. Then, she tossed the handkerchief aside.Her eyes swept over Joanna's pale, shell-shocked face. With a slight smirk, unreadable in its intent, she gave Joanna one last glance before catching up to Sean.As for what Joanna had just said, Tania did feel some doubt, but she was sharp enough to know she would not get anything worthwhile out of Joanna.Once she got in Sean's car, she turned to him. "There's something you're not telling me, isn't there?"Sean di

"Sean, you've gone too far."Lennox could not hold it in anymore. "Joanna just likes you. If you don't feel the same, you could've just rejected her."Sean let out a cold snort. "If that worked, do you think she'd still be here? With a brain like that, some people are destined to be pets their entire lives."His words were harsh and unforgiving. "Just because my mother likes pets doesn't mean I do. Joanna, take care of yourself."Joanna bit down hard on her lower lip. "Sean, how can you say that? That's not what I meant. I just—""Enough. I'm not interested in hearing your nonsense."Tania glanced at Joanna and grinned, which only made Joanna's resentful gaze land sharply on her. Tania raised her brows, about to retort, but her phone suddenly rang. She reached into her bag, saw that it was Liliana's number, and quickly answered. "What's wrong, Liliana?""Tania, help me.""What happened, Liliana? Where are you?"Tania's expression changed instantly. "Hang on, I'm coming right n

"Sean, you misunderstood. I'm not after any of that… I just… I just like you!"Joanna, humiliated in front of everyone by Sean and Tania, could hardly bear the embarrassment. With so many familiar faces watching, the sting cut even deeper.She bit down on her lower lip, her hands clenching tightly into fists. To some, like Lennox and the others, she looked pitiful—like someone others might feel sorry for. However, her performance did nothing for Sean and Tania.Lennox suddenly spoke up. "Hey, I know your family's rich, Sean, but that doesn't mean you get to humiliate someone like this! Yeah, sure, Joanna likes you—but is it wrong to like someone?"Sean frowned slightly and raised his head to glance at Lennox. He did not say a word, but Lennox immediately took a step back, instinctively swallowing hard.Damn, he was a grown man, and he actually flinched at Sean's stare.Scared into silence, Lennox said nothing more. Neither did anyone else.Edgard, ever the smart one, had known f
