The Cherished Wife Chapter 1413
"What are you talking about?"Winter jumped when she heard a voice behind her. She quickly stood up from the couch and turned pale when she saw Joseph. "Dad, when did you get here?"Joseph stared at Winter. "Why? Am I not allowed here?""That's not what I meant," Winter said with an awkward smile. She said goodbye to Jade and quickly asked Joseph to sit down. "Dad, if you and Mom miss me and Xavier, we'll come visit you."Joseph just snorted. "Yeah, right. You two are probably hoping you’ll never have to see us again! It's been months, and you haven't bothered to visit once. If I hadn't shown up today, who knows when we would’ve found out what's going on with you?"Joseph was getting more and more upset with his daughter-in-law. He had hoped that she would help Xavier with his career after their marriage, but she had barely made a difference at City Ring Corp. after nearly a whole year. They were just going through the motions, and Winter had been nothing but trouble since they go

Winter clenched her teeth. "I'll call Xavier. We'll be on time for the Shaw family's dinner tomorrow!"Joseph gave a satisfied nod and gently patted Winter on the shoulder. "That's my wonderful daughter-in-law! Just be a little more agreeable, and you'll find the Hoffman family has many perks for you. I've heard that the head of the Hoffman family is thinking of passing the reins to Charles, which means Noelle will be the lady of the house. You're Noelle's sister, so you’ll have it made in showbiz with that connection!""Yes!"Winter smiled, but it was strained. Her resentment toward Noelle grew even stronger in her heart.She felt like she could never get away from that cursed name. Ever since they were little, their grandparents had always favored Noelle. They were both their granddaughters, so why the unfairness? Noelle's grades were always better at school, and even the teachers preferred her, always comparing Winter to Noelle poorly.Then there was Noelle's love life. Seeing

Noelle nodded. Samuel let out a sigh. "Alright, alright," he said, waving his hand. "So, you didn't come just to see me today, did you? Do you want to tell me something?""Grandpa," Noelle said, her lip trembling a little. "I'm sorry.""Oh, my dear! You don't have to say sorry to me!" Samuel shook his head. "I didn't tell you the truth because I didn't want you to get hurt. I wasn't sure how much you could handle, but now you're here with him. You must know the whole story, and you've even accepted him, haven't you?"Noelle gave a small nod. "I'm sorry, Grandpa!""I told you, you don't have to apologize to me. You can make your own choices, and I didn't do everything a grandpa should’ve done. I left you to suffer with the Shaws!""Dad!" Jade piped up, clearly upset. "What's she trying to say? The Shaws took care of her for all these years. Now, some guy shows up claiming he's her dad, and she's just going to turn her back on us? Really?"Jade's eyes blazed with anger as she stare

"Of course!" Harrison knew the Shaws might not be too happy to see him because of his past mistakes. Even though he did not have a choice back then, he knew it was still his fault. No matter what Samuel, Jade, or Julian might say to him, he was ready to take it. He had come to make things right and was being very humble.What surprised Harrison was how nice Samuel was to Noelle. He did not let his old problems with Harrison affect how he treated her.The Shaws were a little surprised by Harrison’s unexpected presence, but Samuel quickly got everything under control as the head of the family. He was a good host. "Dinner's ready, but we've only got simple food and coffee. I hope that's okay with you, Mr. Smith.""Sir Shaw, you're too kind. I know I came without warning, and I'm just thankful you're not upset with me!"Harrison was being polite, so Samuel could not really complain about anything."Noelle, come sit by me. Charles, you too!" Samuel called them over. Noelle and Charles

"I'm not worried about being repaid," Samuel said with a dismissive wave. "The Shaws have everything the Smiths have too. I'm just concerned about Noelle joining your Smith family.""Don't worry, sir. My dad really likes Noelle, and everyone in the Smith family is happy to have her back." Harrison paused for a moment. "Sir, you don't have to worry. Even if Noelle is with the Smiths, she'll always be your granddaughter. You raised her, and nobody can change that."Samuel sighed with relief when he heard those kind words. "That's all I needed to hear. It's a blessing that Noelle has people who cherish her. She's had a tough life, but now she's got a great husband, and I couldn't be happier. I never thought her past would come up like this, but since she knows the full story and has accepted you, I can't complain. But let me tell you this—if the Smiths ever treat Noelle badly, I'll be the first to step in!""You have my word, sir!""Dad!" Jade could not believe her ears. She did not e

"Be quiet!" Julian, who had not said a word until then, suddenly dropped his utensils and slapped Winter across the face. The sound of the slap echoed loudly, leaving Winter in shock.Winter's eyes grew wide. She could not believe Julian had hit her, especially over something like this.Tears filled Winter's eyes as she stood up. "Go ahead, hit me! It's clear that Noelle is the only one you care about now. You don't even see me as your daughter anymore!" With that, she dashed upstairs."Winter..." Jade began to rise, worried, but Xavier got to his feet quicker. "Mom, stay put. I'll go check on her!" he said. However, as he spoke, his eyes briefly lingered on Noelle.Noelle felt sickened by Xavier's look. The boy who used to be so bright and cheerful had changed. They were both married to other people now, yet Xavier's gaze was uncomfortably intense, making Noelle feel uneasy.The table fell silent with Winter and Xavier gone. Noelle looked away and continued eating quietly, servin

Jade glared at Noelle with piercing eyes. "Noelle, you've got to have a heart. The Shaw family has been good to you all these years, right? You’ve always had everything you ever wanted. Now that you've found your real parents, are you just going to ditch the Shaw family and walk away? How can you be such an ungrateful brat?”Jade went on a tirade. "Jule and I raised you. Didn't you have everything Winter did? When you got sick, who was it that carried you to the hospital? Have you really forgotten all that?"Noelle raised her head and saw Jade pointing at her with a bossy expression as if Noelle had done something terribly wrong. She just calmly stared back into Jade's fierce eyes. The deepest cut for Noelle was not that her birth parents had left her—she did not even know they had. It was remembering all the things that Jade and Julian, whom she had always thought of as her actual mom and dad, had done. They always doted on Winter and ignored her. Jade did take her to the hospital

Jade had a plan. She thought she could use Noelle to get Charles to help the Shaw family and Winter. However, she never expected Harrison to show up and start talking about Noelle rejoining her birth family, the Smiths.Jade could not let that happen. If Noelle returned to the Smiths and changed her last name, the Shaws would get nothing after all the years they took care of her. Noelle owed them, and they expected to be paid back.Harrison seemed to get what Jade was thinking. He put down his fork and knife and said, "I know this is a bit forward, but Noelle has to go back to the Smith family. If you and Mr. Shaw want something, just ask. I'll do what I can to make it happen."Jade snorted. "What can you offer?"Noelle's face turned serious. "What do you want?"Jade had heard about a big deal in Golden Wave City. She did not know much about business, but she and Julian had talked about it last night. They were planning to ask for a piece of the action.Now she had her chance, so

"If you're asking me, then let me make it clear. The moment I gave the shares to Noel, I never intended to take them back!"Samuel set down his brush. His expression was stern as he looked at Winter. "I know your mother has been feeding you these ideas since you were a child, instilling hatred toward Noelle. But Winter, no matter what, Noelle is still your sister—""She's not! My mother only gave birth to me. I'm the only daughter of the Shaw household. Noelle is absolutely nothing!" Winter could not hold back and simply cut Samuel off mid-sentence."Grandpa, you know Noelle isn't part of the Shaws, yet you gave her City Ring Corp.'s shares? You'd rather give these things to an outsider than to me?""So, it's the shares you're after? Didn't your parents already give you plenty?" Samuel's tone turned colder. "What's this? You're still not satisfied?""This isn't about satisfaction. It's about Noelle not being qualified!""She's qualified because I chose to give them to her!" Samue

Winter returned from her confrontation with Noelle, seething with frustration. The thought of Suzy siding with Noelle only fueled her irritation further, and she ended up directing her anger at Suzy during the ride back.Suzy endured Winter's scolding several times along the way but maintained a calm and composed demeanor. She gently said to Winter, "I think the key to resolving this lies with your grandfather.""My grandfather?" Winter looked at Suzy suspiciously, momentarily forgetting her anger. "What do you mean?""It's clear from what Noelle said earlier. Those shares must've been transferred with your grandfather's approval. Think about it—your grandfather would never let those shares leave the family unless they were going back to his hands or sold to someone he trusts."Winter pressed her lips together. "You have a point. No matter how much he likes Noelle, my grandfather wouldn't just let her hand over something like that to an outsider. Unless…""Unless those shares are

Noelle reached out and held Charles' hand. "The reason I went to meet Winter today wasn't for anything else—it was because she mentioned something about the time I went missing. I suspected that she was involved, so I went to see for myself."When I was found back then, my clothes were in disarray, and Winter claimed to have taken photos of me. She used those photos to negotiate with me, trying to get the City Ring Corp. shares, so—""So, the photos we saw earlier were supposed to be of you?"Charles continued her thought as his hand turned to grip hers. His fingertips brushed softly over the back of her hand. "And you were worried I'd misunderstand you because of those photos?"Noelle swallowed hard, then nodded.He pulled her into his arms while holding her tightly. "Silly girl!"As he embraced her, his deep eyes flashed with an icy sharpness. "Even if those photos existed, I wouldn't misunderstand you!""But—""I already knew about your disappearance back then." Charles gent

Noelle had barely finished speaking when a car pulled up nearby. The door opened, and a man stepped out, his gaze immediately locking onto her.Seeing Charles, Noelle's face lit up with a smile. "Charlie!"Charles walked over and glanced briefly at Andrew, who immediately took the hint and excused himself.Noelle ran up to Charles, wrapping her arms around his waist and rubbing her head against him affectionately. "Why are you here?""Didn't I tell you to leave these things to me?" Charles replied while gently ruffling her hair. Seeing her kitten-like demeanor, his eyes softened. "What's that in your hand?"Noelle froze for a moment before shaking her head. "I'll show you, but promise you won't get mad?"Hearing this, Charles raised an eyebrow in curiosity. Without another word, he took the envelope from her hand."Hey!" Noelle tried to interject, but Charles already had his arm around her and was guiding her into the car."Andrew, drive," Charles instructed."Yes, Mr. Hoffm

"What did you say?" Winter stared at Noelle in disbelief."That's impossible. Grandpa would never agree to let you sell those shares to someone else. Noelle, are you insane? What kind of grudge do you have against the Shaws that would make you sell our shares? What are you up to?"Even with her limited sense, Winter quickly pieced things together. If Noelle had really sold the shares, it would leave Samuel with only a small portion, and the shares originally under Noelle's name would now belong to an outsider.If anyone wanted to target City Ring Corp. or the Shaws, manipulating the company would be the fastest way to do so.Winter's eyes burned with rage as she glared at Noelle. "What's your game?"Noelle smiled faintly at her. "There's no game. I just didn't think I was suited for business, so I sold them to make a bit of money. If you're so interested in the shares, you can always buy them back.""You…" Winter stepped forward, clearly intent on causing trouble. Yet Andrew, who

Noelle furrowed her brows slightly. "It's nothing significant. I consulted one of the most renowned obstetricians. What was her name again… Dr. Margaret Ellison?"Winter froze once more, her composure slipping briefly before she retorted, "What does your doctor have to do with me? And what's so special about remembering a doctor's name?""I have a good memory, you see. I never forget a thing," Noelle said calmly. "That day, after my check-up, I rested for a while in Dr. Ellison's lounge. I happened to overhear something quite intriguing. Would you like to hear it?""Noelle, shut up!" Winter suddenly shrieked while glaring at Noelle with venomous fury. "You shut your mouth!"Noelle smirked. "Why are you so upset? I just thought it was an interesting story worth sharing with you."Winter abruptly stood up and reached for her untouched coffee, clearly intending to fling it at Noelle."Watch out!" Suzy instinctively moved forward and grabbed Winter, pulling her back. The scorching co

"What papers?" Noelle pretended not to understand as she stared at Winter."The shares! The share transfer agreement for the shares of City Ring Corp. I told you to bring it!" Winter fumed at Noelle's apparent feigned ignorance. "Or are you not afraid I'll expose all your photos?""Go ahead, expose them. I'd like to see if you even dare!" Noelle snorted coldly. "As for the shares, I've already told you—I sold them a long time ago.""You're lying. That's impossible!" Winter refused to believe her. "Grandpa gave those to you; there's no way you'd sell them!""Well, the truth is, I did. I sold them more than six months ago. I even told you all back then, but you refused to believe it." Noelle spread her hands, watching Winter's face twist in anger. "Winter, hand over the photos.""Without the share transfer agreement, do you think I'd give these to you? Do you take me for a fool?" Winter took out an envelope and waved it in front of Noelle."Everything's in here. And not just here

"Why not approach Yankel directly? Why go around in circles?" Charles could not understand Sean's roundabout method.Sean paused for a moment, then gave a bitter smile. "Liliana's situation is similar to Samara's. Right now, she treats Bobby as if he's her biological child. Even if Bobby is saved, she won't hand him over to Yankel. But do you think the Canfield family will let it go once they find out Bobby is their bloodline?"The matter was not as simple as it appeared. Sean would not be handling it so cautiously otherwise. "Moreover, Liliana…"Charles frowned. "What about her?""It's nothing!" Sean shook his head. "All I need is for you to help me connect with the Canfield family. I'll take care of the rest."Charles nodded. "Fair enough. Whatever is going on between you and Liliana, only the two of you can resolve it.""By the way, what did Andrew call you about just now?""It's about Nelly. Anyway, since you're fine here, I'll be heading out." Leaving Noelle alone did not s

Winter ended the call with a cold snort.Standing nearby, Suzy glanced at Winter, whose face was twisted in malice. Suzy pressed her lips together before asking, "Did you just say Noelle was…"Winter sneered, "Yeah, you want to see? I still have the photos!"Suzy's expression darkened at Winter's words. Winter might choose to self-destruct, but that did not mean Suzy was willing to join her.Especially after learning more about Winter's schemes, Suzy could not help but be amazed at how well Winter had kept up her facade all these years. If not for recent events exposing Winter's true nature, Suzy might never have known how deeply Winter had plotted against Noelle."No, I don't need to see them," Suzy said, shaking her head. "But are you really going to meet Noelle? Are you sure she'll hand over the shares? I doubt it. Those City Ring Corp. shares are no small matter.""Hmph, she wouldn't dare refuse me. If she does, I'll release these photos and ruin her completely!" Winter gritt
