"What kind of information do you want?" Peter waved his hand, signaling Brandon to look for Tania, then stepped out onto the beach.Squinting against the sunlight, he asked, "He doesn't seem to have anything suspicious going on abroad. What are you worried about?""Nothing much," Sean replied with a chuckle. "So, when are you and Tania coming back? You've left that company of yours to Jamie. Aren't you afraid one day he'll swallow it whole? By then, you'll be left with nothing."Peter snorted dismissively, clearly unconcerned. "If he can take it, then I'd have to admit his skill, doesn't it?"Sean clicked his tongue. "Peter, does this mean you're not planning to come back? Got too comfortable there, huh? I bet Tania doesn't care what you're up to. But mark my words, if you keep idling like this, you'll go broke one day. Then we'll see if Tania still wants you!"Peter let out another cold laugh. "Don't you worry about me. Even if I lose everything, my wife has money. My brother-in-

Ellen felt a jolt in her chest. "But Ms. Shrill, you came back to the country fully prepared for this. You've already discussed everything with Royal Star. Are you sure you want to back out now? Carvonia has no room for you to grow anymore."Ellen spoke bluntly, her words cutting straight to the point. "You're not exactly young anymore. Staying abroad may not offer you the same opportunities as being here.""Enough. Whether it's good or not, that's my choice," Shirley snapped. "You can tell Harrison that I—""Tell me what?" Harrison entered from outside, his expression cold and sharp. He stared at Shirley. "You're not a child anymore. You need to face the consequences of your actions instead of running away. Do you really think you can keep avoiding things after all these years?"Shirley's expression darkened, but she remained silent.Harrison gestured toward the car. "Get in.""Alright."After Ellen left, Harrison sneered, "Madison, do you really think you can go back now? Sinc

Shirley merely scoffed twice. Seeing her reaction, Ellen felt a wave of awkwardness and chose to remain silent.The car quickly arrived at the parking lot. Since Royal Star had made prior arrangements, the reporters and paparazzi had no access to the area.Shirley opened the car door and stepped out, immediately noticing Harrison following behind her. Her face darkened instantly. "Why are you getting out?"Harrison smirked. "Naturally, I'm here to check out your future workplace and see what kind of environment it offers."Ignoring Shirley, he strode forward confidently.The Royal Star representative, who was waiting to receive them, noticed the middle-aged man accompanying Shirley and looked momentarily surprised. However, he refrained from commenting. "Ms. Shrill, this way, please."Harrison glanced at Shirley, whose reluctance was written all over her face, and stepped into the elevator without hesitation. Ellen followed closely behind.Shirley clenched her teeth. She began w

"Ms. Shaw, are you familiar with the Smiths?" Harrison's eyebrows shot up in surprise as he turned to Noelle. She quickly nodded. "Yeah, Mr. Smith and I go way back. And who might you be?""I'm Sean's uncle!" Harrison chuckled, a twinkle in his eye. "Looks like we're practically family!""Come on in, Mr. Harrison Smith. You too, Ms. Shrill!" Noelle did not pry into the specifics of Harrison and Shirley's connection, nor did she ask Harrison to leave. Instead, she made sure he was treated like a VIP."Yoana, could you get Mr. Harrison Smith a coffee?" Noelle paused briefly before adding, "Is there any particular way you like it, Mr. Smith?""I'm easy to please!" Harrison replied with a warm, appreciative smile.Noelle gave him a small nod. "Alright then, a Honeyed Lavender Latte it is. And for Ms. Shrill?""No thanks," Shirley cut in sharply, her patience wearing thin. "Don't trouble yourself over me, Ms. Shaw. I won't have anything."Noelle's lips quirked into a sly smile. "Yoan

"Ms. Shrill, I'm all set. Just start whenever you're ready," Ronald said, taking a seat beside Noelle, his eyes serious as he faced Shirley.Shirley paused, her words caught in her throat as she tried to make sense of the situation. With Noelle watching her expectantly, Shirley finally let out her frustrations. "I'm just not happy with this. Royal Star is supposed to be a big shot in the entertainment industry, right? Why can't they get a simple contract right? Do I really have to spell it out for them? Is this what passes for professionalism at Royal Star?"Ronald glanced up, an eyebrow arching in surprise at Shirley's outburst.He had never dealt with an artist this difficult before. Winter had been a handful, but Shirley was on a whole other level. If Charles had not specifically asked him to help Noelle out today, he would not bother pandering to someone so full of themselves—and who was being so rude to Noelle, no less. It was a good thing Noelle was the patient type, or else i

After Shirley stormed out, Noelle lingered in the meeting room. Ronald and Yoana hovered behind her, uncertain. "Madam, why did you..."Noelle cut Ronald off with a gesture. "Her refusal to sign was no surprise. It's not the contract that's the problem—it's me." Her smile did not quite reach her eyes, which were clear and sharp.Once upon a time, a younger Noelle might have been hurt by Shirley's rejection, but she was no longer that inexperienced girl. She had grown up, seen the world for what it was, and understood things better now. Shirley could not faze her anymore.Ronald's brow creased with concern. He knew a lot about Noelle's past because Charles had asked him to quietly investigate it. As an employee, it was not his place to question the boss's business. However, after working closely with Charles all this time, Ronald could not help but feel a personal attachment to Noelle.He was upset for Noelle, but when he saw that she did not seem bothered, he realized he was the na

Noelle's expression softened as she listened to Yoana. "There's no real evidence for that.""So, do you want a boy or a girl?""I'd be happy with either, but one of each would be perfect. They'd have each other's backs like two peas in a pod!"As Noelle spoke, she browsed through the baby clothes, her face lighting up with joy. "Yoana, do you have someone special in your life?"While picking out a tiny onesie, Noelle glanced at Yoana. "I would guess you’re about twenty-four, right?""I just turned twenty-five, actually!"Noelle raised her eyebrows in surprise. "You're older than me!" she said. At only twenty-four, she sometimes wondered if she had jumped the gun on getting hitched.She chuckled. "So, any lucky guy in your life?""I'm dating someone, but we've decided to hold off on the wedding for now. We want to focus on our careers first, save up for a house, and then tie the knot."Noelle nodded in agreement. "It's important to have your own goals, but it's also smart to th

Harrison's hand slid across Shirley's cheek with a sharp smack. His gaze was dark and wild. "I dare you to say that one more time!""I'll say it a hundred times over! It wouldn't change a thing. It's not that I treat her poorly. It's that it’s her misfortune to be your offspring, Harrison. She's tainted with your blood, and she deserves every bit of scorn she gets. All her misery is your doing, Harrison! You destroyed me, and now, you’ve destroyed Noelle!""You..." Harrison lunged, his hand closing around Shirley's throat. "You're asking for it!"Harrison's hands tightened around Shirley's neck, and it seemed like something terrible could happen with just a little more pressure. Shirley's face turned a scary shade of red, but she did not try to push him away. Instead, she just smiled through her tears at him. Suddenly, Harrison felt a sharp pain in his chest that made him gasp and go pale. He let go of Shirley and doubled over, clutching his heart. Shirley could finally breath

"Your mom is a homewrecker, a vixen who destroys other people's families.""You're the daughter of a mistress. My mom says you're an illegitimate child!""We don't want to play with you! My mom says no one wants you because you're just a bastard!""Go away! We don't want to play with someone as dirty as you!"…"Mommy, Mommy, why don't you want me?"Liliana felt so cold.It was her first winter in Brookville after coming from the misty waters of Jacksonville, and the chill seeped deep into her bones.The Hoffman residence was enormous, yet Liliana still felt cold—not just from the weather but from the people. Their gazes were cold and indifferent. Even at school, the way those elite students looked at her was filled with mockery.She was only five when her mother brought her to this bustling metropolis, leading her straight to this grand yet icy mansion.The people here were dressed elegantly, so dazzling that it was impossible to look away. However, when they looked at her a

Even though she loved him deeply now, Noelle still felt as if a part of her memory was missing. It seemed unfair to Charles.Charles simply smiled, lowering his head to place a gentle kiss on the corner of her lips."Alright. Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you." He agreed, his tone warm and unwavering. "But before that, I think we have something more important to do.""What is it?" Noelle looked up at him, her eyes shimmering with a misty glow that made Charles' heart ripple."Our wedding night, of course, Mrs. Hoffman."Noelle's face turned bright red in an instant. "But… we're in a hotel, not Phoenix Tree Residence!""It doesn't matter where we are. As long as I have you, that's all that matters."Tonight, every word Charles spoke was as if dipped in honey, making Noelle's heart race. She stole a shy glance at him. "But… my brother and the others are still outside—""Forget about them."Without another word, Charles scooped her up and carried her straight to the bed, b

"Charlie, I forgot about you. Tell me the truth—are you angry?"Charles sighed. "No, how could I ever be angry with you?"He reached out and gently tucked a strand of Noelle's hair behind her ear. Seeing the seriousness in her eyes, he let out a soft chuckle. "Even if you never remember me for the rest of your life, I still wouldn't be angry.""Really?"Charles nodded.Noelle hesitated for a moment, then mustered the courage to look straight at him. "Charlie… if—just hypothetically—if things between me and Xavier had never gone wrong… If Winter never came between us and I was still with Xavier… What would you have done? Would you have just watched me get engaged to him? Marry him? And then—"Before she could finish, Charles pressed a finger against her lips, silencing her.Noelle blinked and saw that his gaze had deepened. He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist."No. That would never happen," he said firmly. The very thought of her with someone else, marrying someone else

The moment Noelle finished speaking, the world seemed to fall silent.Charles' lips curved into a faint smile, his eyes glinting with amusement. Yet if one looked closely, there was a serious intensity in his gaze as he fixed it on Noelle. "Hmm? What did my wife just say?"Noelle shot him a sharp glare. "I don't care. Whatever it is, you're not allowed to read it. Give it back!"She pouted, her expression just as serious and determined.Charles raised an eyebrow, surprised by how adamant she was.Though curiosity tugged at him, he would not force her if she felt so strongly about it. "Alright, I won't read it."Hearing this, Noelle exhaled in relief and reached out her hand. "Then give it back."Charles' eyes glimmered with amusement. "I promise I won't read it now, but I'll wait for the day you show it to me yourself."After saying that, he placed the diary into Noelle's hand. Instead of letting her go, however, he pulled her into an embrace as if he wanted to merge her into h
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1832
So, that was why the name felt so familiar—because Noelle had known Charles since she was a child.No wonder, the first time she met him, his gaze had seemed to pierce right through her as if he were looking for someone else. Had he been looking at her all along?Noelle reached up and touched her own face, realization washing over her. The memories she had lost all this time… They were about Charles?Her emotions swelled uncontrollably. Moving carefully, she knelt before him, her gaze fixed intently on his face. She compared his features to the descriptions she had recorded in her diary.With a trembling hand, she reached out, stopping just shy of touching his cheek.She simply watched him, quietly, taking in his features. They were so similar to the ones she had once described in her diary. A sudden chuckle escaped her lips.Even though she still could not recall the details of how they had met, she could tell from her own words just how much she must have liked him back then. O

Noelle smiled softly. "It's nothing. He probably just drank too much."Tania handed her a cup. "Here's some honey water. Let my brother drink some later."She paused for a moment before adding, "Don't worry about Ice and Glitter. Peter and I will take care of them.""Thank you, Tania." Noelle had indeed been worrying about the babies.The adults could stay up celebrating, but Connor and Nora were only two months old. They needed rest."It's nothing," Tania reassured her. "This is such a big day for you two. Don't worry, we'll take good care of the kids. Most of the guests have already left, and Grandpa and the others have gone home too."Noelle nodded. "What about you?""Peter and I will take Bran home soon, but we'll stop by Phoenix Tree Residence first to check on the babies.""Alright.""Just stay here and rest for now. Sean and the others are still partying pretty hard. I doubt they'll be leaving anytime soon."After Tania left, Noelle tested the temperature of the honey

This wedding was nothing short of spectacular. Every moment was meticulously recorded by a dedicated team, with cameras set up throughout the venue to capture every detail of the ceremony from all angles.Charles and Noelle barely had a moment to rest as they moved from table to table, toasting guests with endless glasses of wine. The atmosphere remained lively and joyous deep into the night. It was not until the early hours of the morning that Noelle finally helped Charles to a private lounge on the second floor of the hotel.Though many had stepped in to shield them from excessive drinking, there was no avoiding the celebratory nature of the occasion. The alcohol had inevitably taken its toll. After settling Charles onto the couch, Noelle fetched some honey water and a warm towel before returning to his side.Charles lay slightly on his side, propping his chin up with one hand. Noelle sat beside him and handed him the towel, but he did not reach for it.Sighing, she called soft

Sean clicked his tongue, shaking his head in amusement. "Charles, your body is here, but your heart is clearly somewhere else."Then, as if making an even bigger discovery, he gestured toward a spot not far away. "Oh, I say, Charles, this is a real crisis. See that?"With the enthusiasm of someone who thrived on drama, Sean pointed at Noelle and Grant. "I don't know, man. That guy doesn't look like he's here with good intentions."Charles raised an eyebrow, his gaze darkening as it settled on Noelle and Grant. He gripped his glass a little tighter, but his eyes refused to move away from them. Still, his words were dismissive. "He's just another big brother-in-law. That's all.""Yeah, right. Just admit it—he's a strong rival."The second Sean finished speaking, he felt an icy stare pierce through him. Charles' glare was sharp enough to cut. "Hmm? What did you just say?""Nothing!" Sean swallowed hard, instantly backtracking. Dear god, a jealous man was terrifying!"You think he's

Grant's eyes carried too many emotions—too many things unspoken. Noelle could not fully understand, but she could sense that there was something significant behind his words.The diary in her hands had to hold something important that was possibly related to the past she had forgotten. Perhaps they were the lost pieces of her memory that she had always assumed were not crucial.She had assumed so because otherwise, she would have recalled them after all these years. Besides, they had not seemed to affect her life in any meaningful way.Over time, she had gradually let go of the idea of remembering.Yet now, with Grant handing her this diary, an unsettling feeling crept over her as if she had forgotten something incredibly important—something she could not afford to lose.Holding the diary tightly, Noelle felt a strange mix of emotions that she could not quite describe.She hesitated before murmuring, "Thank you."In the end, she did not ask Grant where he had gotten the diary.
