The Cherished Wife Chapter 1449
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,

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

Charles grinned. "Go on!""Suzy blamed Winter for everything, so it was pretty clear that Suzy was the one behind it all. Suzy knew Winter better than anyone else, right?" Charles nodded in agreement. "I’m not responsible for the stuff that's been coming out lately." "You’re not?" Noelle was taken aback. "But you've got all this stuff. If it's not you... Could it be Suzy?" Noelle's brow furrowed in confusion. "What's Suzy really up to?"...Suzy showed up at the front door of a beachside villa, looking shiny and fancy. She rang the bell. The door swung open quickly. Winter peered around, making sure no one was following, before letting Suzy in. "What's the word on the street?" Winter asked, eyeing Suzy's flashy get-up and frowning. "Suzy, what have you been up to lately?" Suzy just laughed in response. She breezed past Winter, turned on the TV, and said, "If you're so curious, why not watch for yourself?” "No, don't turn it on!" Winter dashed over, grabbed the remote fro

"No. It can't be true! It just can't!" Winter stumbled backward, feeling like the Suzy standing before her was a stranger, someone scary and unknown. "Suzy, you're kidding, right? You're still my best friend. You didn't do this to me. It was all Noelle's fault, wasn't it? She made you do it, right?"Winter reached out to grab Suzy's hand, shaking her arm hard. "Tell me you didn't do this, Suzy. It was all Noelle's fault, wasn't it? It was Noelle!""Winter, you're just too naive!" Suzy yanked her arm away, and watching Winter collapse to the ground, looking so lost, she felt a rush of satisfaction. "Noelle didn't make me do anything. I wanted to. You’re no better than Noelle. You two sisters can keep fighting, but why drag me into it? Why drag Annie into it?""No, Suzy, I never did. You've always been my best friend. You have to believe me. I was so sad about what happened to you, I...""You're joking, right? Are you sad? You've only ever used me and Annie like we were just tools fo

"I’ll kill you, Suzy!”Winter's eyes filled with tears as she ran toward Suzy, but Suzy pushed her down to the ground. Looking down at Winter with no warmth in her eyes, she said, "You brought this on yourself, Winter. You have only yourself to blame."Suzy walked away with those words, leaving Winter sitting on the ground and staring blankly at the door. Even though it was summer, Winter felt a chill that made her tremble.Suzy approached a car and tapped on the window. "I've done what you asked me to do."The window rolled down to show a man wearing a silver mask. His eyes were unemotional as he looked at Suzy. "Having second thoughts?"Suzy held her fists tight but shook her head with determination. "No second thoughts. I just want you to promise that my parents will be taken care of and be safe and sound for the rest of their lives."The man smiled slightly, his long fingers lifting Suzy's chin. His eyes seemed to laugh, but there was no warmth in them. "You're tough, Suzy. Y

"Wow, I can't believe that just happened!""Look at that! Charles is actually so considerate and gentle—it’s hard to believe!”Charles slipped the crystal shoes onto Noelle's feet and then scooped her up in his arms. With that, the noisy crowd made their way out of the place.Outside the place, a line of fancy cars waited. People climbed in, and they all set off for the hotel.As the luxury cars rolled away from the Smith residence, reporters followed, eager to capture every moment of the spectacle.Even though the Hoffmans and the Smiths had told the press to stay out of certain areas, they could not stop them from snapping pictures on the public streets. So, the day's big moments ended up all over the internet.In front of the hotel run by the Nexus Group, car after car pulled up and parked. The whole street had been cleared out just for today's wedding party.Charles, looking sharp in his white suit, stepped out of the car and turned his back to the door. A pretty figure in w

The church was alive with love and happiness, the air buzzing with laughter, congratulations, and heartfelt connections. For a moment, Charles stood still, holding Noelle’s hand, soaking in the overwhelming joy that surrounded them. It wasn’t just the ceremony that made the day special—it was the people they loved, the memories they’d shared, and the future they were about to build together.As the crowd slowly began to disperse, the newlyweds, still smiling and basking in the glow of their love, made their way out of the church, ready to begin the rest of their lives together.Just then, the bridesmaids—Kelly, Liliana and Linda—and the groomsmen—Sean, Peter, and the others—emerged from the church. They were all smiling, but especially Sean, who had his usual carefree, playful attitude. He walked up behind Charles as if he were about to give him a friendly shove.However, before Sean could do anything else, it was obvious that Charles was not pleased with him at all. With a quick mo

Meanwhile, Charles caught sight of his mother, Clarisse and father, Mateo, both of them beaming with pride. Clarisse's eyes were bright with tears as she dabbed at them with a tissue, while Mateo's face was etched with a quiet, proud smile."Charles!" Clarisse called out, her voice thick with emotion. She was barely holding it together, and her hands trembled as she waved him over for a hug. Charles went to her, his heart swelling, and pulled her into his arms. "I'm so proud of you," she whispered, and the emotion in her voice made his chest tighten. He pulled back, giving her a soft smile, and then hugged Mateo, who patted him on the back."Don't you go breaking her heart, Charles," Mateo said with a wink, making everyone nearby laugh. It was a comment Charles had heard many times before, but today, it carried a deeper, more heartfelt meaning.He turned to Noelle, and she smiled at him, her eyes crinkling at the corners in that way he loved. Her parents were waiting for her, and

When it was Noelle's turn, she spoke her vows in a voice that trembled ever so slightly, but her words were strong. "Charles, you are my home," she said. "From the moment we met, I knew I'd found someone who would be my partner for the rest of my life. I promise to love you, to support you, and to share my life with you in all its highs and lows."It was beautiful, simple, and perfect. Charles could feel his heart swelling again, but then it was full of certainty. That was it. That was the moment he had been waiting for.The officiant smiled and nodded, glancing at Charles. "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Charles, you may kiss your bride."The church erupted in applause as Charles leaned in to kiss Noelle, his heart beating faster than ever. The kiss was soft but full of meaning, a promise of everything to come. When they pulled away, he could not help but laugh with happiness, and Noelle joined in, her face flushed with joy.They turned to face

She appeared at the doorway, standing tall in her flowing white gown, the lace sparkling in the light. Her veil covered most of her face, but her eyes, the ones he had fallen in love with all those years ago, gleamed at him from beneath it. For a brief moment, it felt like time had stopped. She looked like an angel, and as she started her slow walk down the aisle, Charles could not help but feel his heart swell with love and pride.At her side, Kelly smiled at her, holding Noelle's bouquet carefully. Kelly, always the organized one, was keeping it together despite the emotion of the moment. However, just as they reached the halfway point, Kelly's heel caught on the edge of a pew, and she stumbled slightly. There was a collective gasp, followed by a nervous giggle from the crowd. Kelly straightened herself quickly, her face turning a little pink, but she winked at Noelle and whispered, "Just making sure everyone is paying attention." Noelle stifled a laugh, her cheeks flushing wi

The wedding began on a day filled with laughter and joy. Outside the church, Noelle and her bridesmaids stood together, while inside, Charles eagerly awaited her, clutching a bouquet of roses.Tania stood with Rowena and Teresa, their laughter and chatter creating a joyful buzz. Meanwhile, Noelle's heart was racing, but she stayed cool as a cucumber, took a deep breath, and braced herself for the biggest moment of her life."Hey, have you guys heard that funny wedding joke that's going around?" Tania piped up suddenly. Everyone turned to look at her, eager to hear the joke. "So, there was this bride who asked her bridesmaid, 'Can I go without shoes today?' The bridesmaid was surprised and asked, 'Why would you go without shoes?' The bride giggled and said, 'Because I don't want my own steps to be too loud!'" Tania chuckled, and everyone laughed along.The church doors swung open, and Noelle's dad held her hand, guiding her slowly down the long aisle toward Charles, who stood waiti

On the wedding day, Noelle's heart raced with excitement. She slipped into her beautiful wedding dress and stood looking at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a white gown and could hardly believe that moment was real. She looked so beautiful and full of hope that she almost forgot how nervous and thrilled she felt."You look so beautiful, Noelle! Like a princess," Linda said from behind her. Noelle turned and saw her bridesmaids smiling at her. She smiled back, feeling thankful and a little nervous."Thanks, everyone. I can't believe how perfect today is," Noelle said, her voice full of emotion. She looked at the ring in her hand, feeling so happy and excited.She walked over to the bed, picked up her phone, and called Charles. When he answered, she heard his deep voice say, "Honey, I can't wait to see you." Noelle felt a warm glow inside and smiled. "I feel the same, Charles. I love you."After she ended the call, she stood in front of the mirror once more, gazing at her wedd

Kelly and Noelle were sisters and looked almost the same, both incredibly beautiful. Liliana was like a finely carved statue of beauty, and then there were Linda and Eloise. One was sweet and charming, while the other was cool and aloof, like a regal ice queen.Tania blinked her eyes, "Aren't they lovely? I chose the bridesmaids' dresses." She let out a sigh, "I had hoped to be a bridesmaid too, such a shame!"Their happy chatter filled the house, and Noelle felt like the luckiest girl in the world. She turned to Kelly, her best bridesmaid, her eyes shining with thanks. "Kelly, I'm so grateful you're always here for me," Noelle said softly. Kelly grinned and gave her a gentle shoulder pat, "You don't have to thank me, Noelle. You're my sister and seeing you so happy with the right guy is all I could wish for."Linda, touched by their words, had teary eyes like she was the bride too. She dashed from the kitchen, lifted a cup, and laughed, "I feel like I've turned into your wedding pl

"Yeah." Charles chuckled, planting a kiss on the corner of Noelle's eye. "All of this is yours, feel free to touch all you want!"Noelle's cheeks flushed bright red, and she tried to pull her hands back, but Charles gently held onto them. "What's wrong? I don't let anyone else touch me!""You're such a tease!" Noelle's face turned even redder, "Ever since we got married, you've just gotten cheekier and cheekier.""Yeah, I'm all yours," Charles said as he cradled Noelle's face in his hands, their eyes locked in a gaze.Just like that, time stood still. They looked at each other as if they could never look away. "Charlie!""Noelle!" Charles gently cradled Noelle's face in his hands, showering her with soft kisses....The whole town of Brookville buzzed with excitement for Charles and Noelle's wedding.
