"You..." Samuel gasped sharply, bending over as his entire body hunched forward. "You orchestrated Noelle's kidnapping? You were just a child at the time... How could you...""Grandpa, you know very well what money can do. What can't be accomplished with a little bit of money? Ha, the granddaughter you cherished was violated years ago!" Winter sneered coldly."You disgraceful child!" Samuel stood upright and slapped Winter across the face, but she shoved him away."Grandpa, you're old now. I don't blame you for your muddled mind. But from now on, remember this—I'm your only true grandchild, and everything you own rightfully belongs to me!"Do you think Noelle can stay on her high horse for long? Ha! The moment Charles learns about Noelle's shameful and sordid past, he'll undoubtedly abandon her. The Smiths won't acknowledge a woman so tarnished. Who would accept someone so impure? Haha!""You..."Before Samuel could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground.Winter was still l

Noelle had barely slept when Charles woke her up. His expression was grave as he scooped her groggy figure out of bed, placing his hands firmly on her shoulders.He gently patted her shoulder, saying in a serious tone, "Nelly, there's something I need to tell you, but promise me you'll stay calm first."Still half-asleep, Noelle blinked at him in confusion. She instantly woke up when she saw the solemn look on his face. "What's going on?"Charles began with a heavy voice, "Nelly, Eli just called. Your grandfather collapsed and is now unconscious. He's been rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.""What did you say?"Noelle was instantly wide awake. She pushed Charles aside and jumped out of bed. Charles quickly followed, steadying her. "Take it slow!""How could he collapse? We just saw him yesterday, and he was perfectly fine!" Noelle's voice cracked with worry as she paced frantically, tears threatening to spill."Nelly, calm down!" Charles gripped her shoulders firmly

Eli breathed a sigh of relief at Charles' words. "As expected, Mr. Charles. You've thought of everything."Charles nodded and helped Noelle sit down to rest. Meanwhile, Jade's sharp eyes remained fixed on Noelle, filled with undisguised malice.After receiving Charles' call, Sean immediately summoned a team of doctors who promptly entered the operating room. Sean's arrival acted as a calming presence for Noelle, easing some of her tension."Charles, come over for a moment," Sean said, beckoning Charles aside. Noelle was left to sit alone. She remained motionless, and her eyes were glued to the door of the operating room.Deep down, Noelle was scared. The love she had received growing up had largely come from Sebastian and Samuel. To her, they were the closest family she had ever known.Noelle had never seriously contemplated the inevitability of aging or death before. However, today's events forced her to confront these realities.She was growing older, and so was Samuel—a truth

Noelle froze, her gaze settling on Winter, who sat in a daze. Her eyes darkened with thought."Why are you staring at Winter? What are you plotting now? Trying to scheme against us again?" Jade accused. Her prejudice against Noelle was clear in her sharp words.Noelle's expression remained cold as she replied, "Madam Shaw, your words are truly amusing. What schemes could I possibly have against you? However, this does remind me of something. "Earlier today, Winter approached me in private, also asking for the shares. I told her I had sold them. Winter got furious and stormed off, isn't that right?"Hearing her name, Winter abruptly lifted her head and shot to her feet. Her bloodshot eyes locked onto Noelle's with a furious glare."Noelle, you wretch! Why are you here? It was you, wasn't it? You did this on purpose! You deliberately told me that Grandpa knew you sold the shares to provoke me into confronting him. You made me argue with him! You pushed me to upset him! What's your

Jade and Winter were completely terrified, and even Julian realized the gravity of the situation. "Uh… Mr. Hoffman, um… Charlie…"Charles cast a sharp glare in Julian's direction, and Julian immediately fell silent."Heh," Sean interjected as he arrived, glancing at the Shaws before shifting his gaze to Noelle and Charles. "I wasn't even gone for long, Charles, and yet your wife has already been bullied!"Sean's tone carried a hint of mockery, making his comment sting even more. His words were like pouring gasoline on a fire.Jade could practically feel the flames of fury emanating from Charles. She scrambled to her feet, clutching Julian's shirt. "Jule, please explain it to Mr. Hoffman! I didn't… I didn't mean to!""It was clear as day that you did it intentionally!" Sean raised an eyebrow, clearly enjoying the chaos."Forget that she's Charles' wife now. Let's talk about the fact that she's now Noelle Smith, the Smith family's treasured daughter. Ms. Winter, do you think the Sm

"You…" Jade and Winter were completely caught off guard by the mention of surveillance footage.Their faces turned pale instantly. "I…"Just then, the doors to the operating room opened, and the lead surgeon stepped out, addressing Sean, "Dr. Smith!"Sean nodded. "How's Sir Shaw?""We've managed to save him for now, but Sir Shaw previously suffered a stroke. This time, the surge in blood pressure caused him to have a heart attack. The situation was triggered by extreme emotional stress. Given his age and declining health, the outlook is not optimistic even though we've saved his life.""What do you mean by that, doctor?" Noelle asked, picking up on the doctor's grave tone. Her brows furrowed tightly. "What exactly do you mean?"The doctor glanced at Noelle, then at Sean. Only after Sean gave a slight nod did the doctor continue, "The patient's heart is severely weakened. Although he was resuscitated, the combination of the heart attack and a second stroke means he'll likely be be

Winter and Jade were trembling with rage, but there was absolutely nothing they could do against Noelle.They knew very well that Noelle's boldness came from the Hoffmans and the Smiths backing her. Unfortunately for them, they were no match for either family."Jule, what do we do now?" Jade asked, her voice filled with panic."Do what?" Julian was on the verge of losing his temper with Jade and Winter. These two foolish women! They were so shortsighted.Julian could see clearly that while Charles and Sean were formidable, they did not act recklessly. The key lay with Noelle. As long as it did not involve Noelle, they could turn a blind eye or even offer small benefits. However, they would never let anyone who hurt her go unpunished if it involved Noelle.Originally, the Shaws had the advantage of having raised Noelle. If they had played that card well, they could have ensured the Shaws thrived under the Hoffmans' and the Smiths' protection. Now, however, everything was ruined.C

Outside the private room on the prestigious Golden Floor of The Majestic Lounge, Andrew stood guard. Inside, a woman sat nervously while clutching an item in her hands.Every so often, she glanced toward the door, but as soon as her eyes landed on Andrew's stern face, she recoiled again.Andrew's gaze fixed on Suzy, and he let out a cold snort upon seeing her cautious demeanor.Charles had just stepped out of the car when Ronald approached him immediately. "Mr. Hoffman!"Charles nodded, holding his suit jacket casually in one hand as he strode forward. "Where is she?""She's in the private room. She said she has something to hand to you personally."Charles' eyes narrowed slightly. "Hmm."Ronald led the way until they reached the elevator. He then stepped aside, allowing Charles to take the lead."Mr. Hoffman!" Having spotted Charles, Andrew quickly opened the door.The moment Charles stepped inside, Suzy sprang up from the couch. "Mr. Hoffman!"Suzy was deeply intimidated by

"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

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
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2124
"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
