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

Charles' long fingers lifted the edge of the folder as he casually skimmed through the records inside.The contents detailed Winter's past activities, including underhanded dealings in the entertainment industry—tactics used to sabotage others, evidence of her schemes against competitors, and a thorough log of places she had frequented in the past year.It documented every detail, down to what Winter had done in those places.Charles closed the thick stack of documents and shifted his gaze to the DVD resting beside them.Ronald quickly inserted the DVD into the player, and the screen flickered to life. The footage contained extensive material about Winter—videos of her visits to Elysian Swallow Garden, scenes from her personal life, and even a heated confrontation at the Shaw residence.The last segment showed Winter arguing fiercely with Samuel before he collapsed. The video captured Winter's panicked reaction, with Julian and Jade also appearing in the frame.Charles narrowed h

The next day, Winter had an audition during the day, and Suzy informed her that evening she had arranged a meeting with some investors.Initially, Winter did not want to attend, but she realized she had likely already offended Charles. With Royal Star likely cutting her off from resources, Winter could not afford to lose any potential support. Hence, she reluctantly agreed to the evening event.However, once Winter changed into her outfit and got into the car, she realized something was wrong when they arrived at Elysian Swallow Garden. "Suzy, didn't you say this was just a simple dinner? Why are we here?"Elysian Swallow Garden was nothing short of a nightmare for Winter.Suzy glanced at Winter with a troubled expression. "I didn't have a choice. The investors tonight include Mr. Lambert and Mr. Wallace. You know how they are—they love places like this. I also heard they have some… unusual entertainment here, so…""I'm not going in!" Winter's face turned pale. "Do you even reme

After Suzy's relentless persuasion, Winter decided she could not care anymore. She had waited so long for this film opportunity, and now that there was some promise, she did not want to let it slip away."I've already spoken to Mr. Lambert. There will be others there tonight. You're just going to accompany them for drinks. You know how to drink, don't you?" Suzy patted Winter's arm reassuringly. "I'll be there with you.""Alright!" Winter took a deep breath, as if making a monumental decision.Seeing her resolve, Suzy smirked coldly to herself but said nothing as she led Winter upstairs.Elysian Swallow Garden was a place exclusively for the entertainment of high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals with peculiar tastes.Those brought here were often carefully selected, including prominent celebrities or lesser-known stars who wanted to climb the social ladder. The only way to do so was by entertaining these affluent patrons.Winter had initially come here out of curiosity,

The next day, news of the scandal surrounding Winter's chaotic private life dominated the front pages of major newspapers and media outlets.Explicit photos of Winter flooded various social media platforms, even appearing on websites notorious for adult content. Rumors spread that Winter had been discovered in the company of multiple men and women, in a scene described as shockingly scandalous.However, no one knew Winter's exact whereabouts.…Winter sat in a chair in a private clinic, her body wrapped tightly in layers of clothing. Across from her was a woman with a stern expression."Ms. Shaw, please remove your pants," the female doctor said firmly.Winter's bloodshot eyes stared at the doctor, but she refused to comply.The doctor removed her mask, her gaze devoid of emotion. "Ms. Shaw, you came to me for an examination. If you're unwilling, you can leave right now.""Do it! We'll do it!" Jade burst into the room, grabbing the doctor's hand. "Please examine my daughter. Sh

"M-Mom, please go find Suzy. She will know what to do. You have to find her.""Find her? She's missing now. The news is everywhere. Winter, I can't fix this. Why did you do this to yourself? If you needed money, you should have just told me. Why did you hang out with those terrible old men?"Winter ended up in the hospital, but she had not gotten help in time. The doctor said her injuries were so bad that she might never be able to have kids. That was the worst thing Winter could have heard.While Winter was sick in the hospital, only Jade came to visit. Xavier and Joseph refused to see her.Joseph made Xavier tell the news people that he and Winter had not been close for a long time and that they had been living apart. Xavier said he did not know anything about what happened to Winter.All of Winter's secrets started coming out. Everyone heard about the mean things she had done to other actors on set and on her show. It was all out in the open now.Winter became the talk of the

Noelle had been feeling down ever since she came back from Samuel's. When Charles got home from work, he noticed her deep in thought, looking at something. He walked over and was surprised to see her with City Ring Corp.'s financial reports. "Why are you looking at these?" he asked.Noelle bit her lip. "I haven't asked about these things since you got City Ring Corp. shares. I trust you. I know you wouldn't hurt the Shaw family." She let out a sigh. "But what Grandpa said today got me worried. Charles, is there trouble with City Ring Corp.?"Charles squinted and playfully tousled Noelle's hair. "What's got you worried?""Grandpa said today that City Ring Corp. might be brought down because of Dad. City Ring Corp..." Noelle stopped, then looked straight at Charles. "Be honest with me. Is City Ring Corp. really in trouble?"Charles met her gaze and nodded, then lifted Noelle onto his lap and gently squeezed her waist, his brow furrowing. "Have you lost weight again?""Stay on topic,
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1453
Surprise flashed in Charles's eyes, but he could not help laughing. He playfully pinched Noelle's nose and said with a hint of surrender, "You're something else, you know that?""So, is that a yes?""Yes!" Charles agreed, though he felt helpless. He could not bear to disappoint Noelle. "But you have to let me handle it, okay?""Awesome! As long as you save City Ring Corp., I'm behind you all the way!" "Even if it means letting City Ring Corp change ownership?" Noelle looked at Charles with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean?" Charles lifted an eyebrow. "What if City Ring Corp. got a new owner?" He reached out and gently brushed Noelle's lips with his finger. "What would you do then?" Noelle looked down. "You want to buy City Ring Corp.?" "Well, it's not impossible. If things keep going like this, City Ring Corp. is going to be just an empty shell. If I buy it before that happens, it can be reborn under Collosus Group. But there's the issue with Grandpa..." Charles pul

"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

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.
