The Cherished Wife Chapter 1417
"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

"You..."Charles let out a chuckle and casually fixed his cufflink, showing no worry at all.Jade and Julian were on edge, waiting to see what would happen. They both knew that whatever anyone else said did not really matter. Any problem could be fixed with one word from Charles.Charles looked at Noelle and gave her a reassuring smile before turning to Julian and Jade."Winter is treated like a golden child at Royal Star. For the next five years, we'll give her all the opportunities to grow her career," Charles said, his voice deep and clear. It was not loud, but it was captivating enough to make anyone listen. "Royal Star has spent millions on Winter. Have you and Mr. Shaw even spent $150,000 on Noelle in over twenty years of raising her?""You... That's not fair! Raising a child is more important than anything!""Really? Should I just give you the whole Collosus Group or the Hoffman family, then?" Charles said with a sideways glance that made Jade feel small.He was still sit

Charles just smiled a little, not looking convinced."Mr. Shaw, you probably know the situation better than I do. If City Ring Corp. can really do it, I wouldn't say no," Charles said, tapping the table. "Let's talk business. I hope you understand!"Julian felt too embarrassed to reply after being talked down to by someone younger. However, Jade could not stay quiet. "Noelle's still part of my Shaw family, and you're her husband and our son-in-law. What's wrong with helping your father-in-law?"Charles's face turned stormy. It was obvious that Jade had really made him mad."Mrs. Shaw, are you trying to make a deal with me or are you trying to sell your daughter out? If you want a deal, I might consider talking to you. But remember, you only get one shot. If you blow it, the Shaw family won't get another chance, and that includes your daughter!""Are you threatening me?" Jade's hands balled into fists. "You act like you care about Noelle, but you won't even spend a dime for her sak

As long as Noelle's last name was still Shaw, she could not escape Jade and Julian's constant meddling. Samuel was getting old and did not know how much time he had left. He did not have the strength to protect Noelle anymore, so he had to leave her in the care of someone who could."Harrison, you've made a promise, so you have to take good care of Noelle!""Don't worry, sir. Noelle is my daughter, so I'll make sure she's well taken care of!" Harrison might not have liked Jade and the others, but he really respected Samuel.Samuel nodded, then turned to Charles. "Charles, I know the Hoffmans have high standards, and I know they have doubts about Noelle. But she's a wonderful girl, and I'm sure it won't be long before the Hoffmans see that too. Until then, you've got to do your duty as a husband and love Noelle with all your heart.""You can count on me, Grandpa." Charles gently took Noelle's hand in his. "My heart will never change when it comes to Noelle."Samuel nodded, feelin

"And what do you propose we do?" Samuel asked sharply. "Don't think I'm unaware of your little schemes. I've told you, Noelle is my girl, so you’d better not be plotting anything against her, understood?""But Dad, you can't just say that. Noelle's name is still under our family in the registry. As long as we don't agree, Harrison or the Smith family can't just snatch her away no matter how strong they are, right? We've taken care of her all this time, and we deserve some credit for that!" Jade could not hold back. "Look at the Smiths and the Hoffmans. They're loaded, and we...""Are you really concerned about Noelle, or is it just about what you stand to gain?" Samuel challenged. "I'm not the type to profit from my granddaughter. This matter is not up for debate. I called you here to ask you to hand over the family registry book."Jade could not believe her ears. "Dad, are you out of your mind? You're really going to let Noelle change her last name without getting anything for it?

"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
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1434
"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
