Maxwell let out an inexplicable sigh. "Did you meet Simon?"Charles curved his lips. "I did.""I actually think the Yorks would do well to let him take over."Charles raised an eyebrow. There was a glint of intrigue lighting up his eyes as his smile grew more enigmatic.Seeing this, Maxwell sensed there was more to the story. "You think Simon is a good choice too?""Among the three York heirs, Simon does seem to have the best aptitude, and he's quite clever. But his position within the family is somewhat awkward, so he wasn't considered a candidate from the start. Are you planning to involve yourself in the Yorks' affairs, Grandpa?"Maxwell frowned. "There's something I initially didn't pay much attention to, but now, I think you should keep an eye on it.""Go ahead, Grandpa. I'm listening.""It's about Mrs. Elmore. Before her second marriage, she had a misunderstanding with the Hoffmans." Maxwell shook his head, his eyes briefly closing in thought."Your great-uncle's death..

Charles nodded. "I'll keep in mind what you said today, Grandpa.""Good. Off you go," Maxwell replied with a wave of his hand. "Spend some time with Noelle."After Charles left, Maxwell fell into deep thought.The memory of Jeanette's seething glare as she left the Hoffmans was still vivid. Back then, her eyes seemed to carry the intensity of wanting to devour him whole.However, when Jeanette returned with her new husband and child for a family visit, she seemed like an entirely different person. She was warm and friendly toward the Hoffmans.Maxwell had assumed that her remarriage severed her ties with the Hoffmans, so he had not given it much thought. But now, seeing that bracelet again stirred an unsettling feeling that he could not shake."What's on your mind?"Noelle walked into the bedroom and saw Charles sitting on the couch. His rare, contemplative expression caught her attention.Charles looked up when he noticed her and gestured for her to come closer. "Finished talk

Following Samuel's sudden passing, his will revealed that Noelle and Grant were the primary beneficiaries of City Ring Corp.Subsequently, Kent, the lawyer entrusted by Samuel before his death, carried out a series of procedures to certify the shares for Noelle and Grant. Once these formalities were completed, the stage was set for City Ring Corp.'s shareholders' meeting.The employees of City Ring Corp. were still unaware of Samuel's decisions. Coincidentally, the day of the regularly scheduled shareholders' meeting arrived. Both Noelle and Grant received the meeting notice the day prior.Kent indicated that both of them needed to attend. Any future decisions regarding the transfer of Grant's shares were left up to Grant and Noelle to handle directly.Charles was preoccupied with company matters, so he could not accompany her. However, he had assigned Ronald to stay by Noelle's side. With Ronald there and Grant attending as well, Charles felt no concern that Noelle would be at a d
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1480
By now, Ronald had already been waiting downstairs for an hour. He occasionally glanced at his watch, silently wondering if Noelle was still getting ready.Just as he was about to check again, footsteps echoed from upstairs. Ronald immediately stood up upon hearing this."Mr. Hoffman, Mrs. Hoffman!"Charles nodded. "Ronald, take good care of Nelly. Handle the matters at the company later. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."While Charles said this, he was fully aware of Ronald's capabilities. His words were more about reassuring Noelle.Indeed, Noelle was feeling a little nervous. However, hearing Charles' words put her somewhat at ease. She then added, "Grant is attending today as well, right?"Charles paused and nodded. "He should be. Grandpa left him shares too. Even though he didn't want them, he's still a shareholder, so it's natural for him to attend.""Exactly," Charles replied. "With him there, you have even less to worry about.""That's true

Noelle smacked her lips thoughtfully. This was not something that could be resolved with just a few words.Nonetheless, since Grant had already addressed it, she decided not to dwell on it."Grant," she said simply.Grant smiled faintly. "You and Kelly are sisters, so calling me just Grant wouldn't be out of line."Noelle pursed her lips, unsure how to respond.Even though Kelly was not a biological Anderson, she had been Grant's sister for so many years. For her, calling him just Grant felt natural. But Noelle did not know where she stood with Grant. Their relationship seemed so messy that it made her head spin."Okay, Grant," she replied."I'll be at City Ring Corp. today too. What about you?""Yes, I'm on my way," Noelle said, glancing at Ronald.Ronald immediately responded, "About half an hour to reach City Ring Corp., Mrs. Hoffman."Noelle nodded, and Ronald added, "We'll be on time for the meeting!""Good!" Noelle nodded again. "Grant, where are you now?""Me? About

Ronald noticed the way Grant looked at Noelle, and every hair on his body seemed to stand on end almost instantly as though he were bracing for a fight. Even Noelle felt the tension.She sighed, feeling a little embarrassed, and glanced awkwardly at Grant, only to find him smiling at her. There was something undeniably provocative in that smile.Noelle smacked her lips. Was Grant doing this on purpose?She looked at Ronald, who indeed looked like a cat with its fur standing on end, ready to pounce. She could not help but find it amusing.Meanwhile, Ronald was thinking to himself that with the boss absent, it was his sole responsibility to protect Noelle."Let's go. It's getting late," Grant finally said, showing no interest in engaging with Ronald, who was merely an assistant. Noelle nodded and fell into step beside Grant."What's your plan?" she asked.Grant understood that Noelle was not only referring to the shareholders' meeting. He turned his gaze to her profile.Perhaps

The conference room was nearly full, with most of City Ring Corp.'s shareholders already present. However, two seats remained conspicuously vacant, prompting quiet speculation among the attendees about who the absent shareholders might be.Those close to Julian seemed to have a good idea, while those less familiar with him were still in the dark.The room was not silent. Conversations buzzed back and forth until the noise gradually tapered off when the doors swung open. Ronald and Kresten entered first, followed closely by Noelle and Grant.The moment Noelle stepped in, murmurs erupted across the room."Isn't that Sir Shaw's granddaughter?" someone whispered."Granddaughter? Nonsense," another retorted sharply."Exactly. She's not Sir Shaw's granddaughter—she's not even part of the Shaws!""Why is she here?""And who's the man with her?""He looks familiar. Isn't that Joshua Shaw?""No, it's not Joshua. That's Mr. Grant Anderson!"As Noelle and Grant drew all eyes in the roo

Kent finished speaking and cast a glance at his assistant, who immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is there a DVD player or projector available here?"Holding a USB drive, the assistant continued, "This contains a video recorded by Sir Shaw before his passing. It documents the entire process of drafting his will, along with Mr. Cook's involvement. If anyone has any doubts, you can watch it for yourself."The assistant located a DVD player and started the video. The room fell into an uneasy silence as everyone focused on the large screen.On the screen, Samuel appeared vibrant and full of life. His demeanor seemed spirited, indicating that the will was drafted some time ago.The video showed that Samuel's mind was clear, and even Kent interrupted him several times during the process to confirm his decisions. Samuel firmly stated his intent to allocate the shares to Noelle and Grant without any hesitation.As for other assets like properties and savings, Samuel casually mentione

"Mr. Canfield, I hope you understand that I'm Bobby's legal mother. I've cared for him for three years," Liliana said, her gaze fixed firmly on Yankel. "I'm sorry, but I won't agree to this.""Ms. Hoffman." Yankel's expression grew colder. "I hope you understand too that Bobby is Samara's and my child. He's our biological son. That's a fact you can't change. Besides, Ms. Hoffman, you're still single. If this goes to court, do you think the judge will side with you? Who can provide Bobby with a complete and happy family?"Liliana's face turned pale. "I…""Ms. Hoffman, I'm not trying to make this difficult, but I hope you see where I'm coming from. I've already missed the first three years of his life. I don't want to miss the rest."Liliana's grip on her coffee cup tightened. She bit her lip. "But can you guarantee Bobby will be happy with you? You've been married to the mayor's daughter for years. You have children of your own. Are you sure Bobby will feel truly loved in that unfam

That afternoon, Yankel showed up as scheduled. Bobby was fast asleep at the time, and Liliana sat quietly by his side reading a book. When she saw how peacefully he slept, a warm smile spread across her face.A knock came at the door. Liliana looked up and spotted Yankel standing at the entrance. She quickly set down her book and stepped out. "Mr. Canfield."Yankel glanced at her, his gaze settling on her calmly. "Thank you for taking care of Bobby during this time, Ms. Hoffman. Is he…""He's asleep," Liliana replied before he could finish. "He was waiting for you earlier, but it looks like you're a little late."She motioned to her wristwatch. "Bobby always naps around this time."Yankel nodded. "Sorry, there were some things at the company I had to finish dealing with…"Liliana nodded in understanding. "Would you like to go in and see him now, Mr. Canfield? Or…""I'll wait until he wakes up," Yankel said, not wanting to disturb Bobby's rest. He then looked at her. "Ms. Hoffman

Four years had passed."Mommy, Mommy."Bobby tugged at Liliana's sleeve, noticing she was zoning out again. He reached up with his tiny arms and legs, trying to climb onto her.Before he could get far, a large hand gently grabbed him. Bobby's little hands waved in the air as he called out, "Uncle Charles, Uncle…"Charles chuckled softly, scooping Bobby up in one arm.Noelle walked over just then, and the moment Bobby saw her, he reached out eagerly, ready to leap into her arms. "Aunt Noelle! Aunt Noelle!"Liliana snapped out of her thoughts and looked up in surprise when she saw Charles and Noelle. "Charles, Noelle… What are you two doing here?""We should be asking you that," Noelle replied with a smile, her eyes settling on Liliana's face. "Why didn't you tell us about Bobby's surgery?"Liliana gave a faint smile. "I only got Yankel's call today. He said he's willing to donate his bone marrow to Bobby. But they're still running tests, and I'm worried…"Even though Yankel w

"When do you want to leave?"Liliana's gaze was a little vacant. She did not speak right away.Charles waited for a while and noticed her eyes drifting toward the window. It was already winter, and the air outside had grown colder—just like the chill settling into Liliana's heart."As soon as possible," she finally said softly after a long silence."Alright. I'll make the arrangements to get you out of the country quickly.""Thank you, Charles." Liliana paused. "My mother…""Don't worry. I'll make sure someone takes good care of her.""That's good." Liliana relaxed slightly, then turned her eyes back to him. "Charles, I had a fiancé before… He treated me very well. If anything happens to him, please help him.""I will."Charles quietly listened to her as she gave instructions on a few matters, but he waited a long time without hearing her mention anything about herself."Liliana, Joanna is in my hands now. Do you want to handle her yourself, or…""Charles, let the law deal w

"Mr. Hoffman!"It was Charles Hoffman! However, Liliana was just an illegitimate child. Why would someone as important as Charles be so affected by all of this?Joanna looked up in terror. "No… You can't do this to me. You can't!"Charles gazed at her with cold disdain. "I can't?"He raised his hand. Andrew immediately stepped forward and handed him a dagger.Charles's frigid eyes fell on Joanna. "When you picked up a knife and used it on Liliana, did you ever stop to think you couldn't?""No, you can't treat me this way! What you're doing is illegal! Liliana is just an illegitimate child! She brought shame to your family! I did this for your sake, to help you, I—ah!"Pain exploded in Joanna's shoulder. Charles had thrown the dagger straight into her scapula, and she screamed before immediately passing out.Charles narrowed his eyes. "Wake her up with salt water."His voice sounded like it had come from the depths of hell. He glanced once more at Joanna and gave the order to A

"Liliana, you have to get better. When you do, you can do whatever you want, Liliana…"Just then, the door to the hospital room flew open, and a powerful punch landed squarely on Sean's face.He staggered back a step. When the next punch came swinging toward him, Sean caught it in mid-air. "Liliana is sleeping. If you want to hit me, do it outside."Charles lowered his fist, but the fury in his eyes was sharper than ever. "If anything happens to Liliana, don't blame me for forgetting our brotherhood."Sean nodded. "I understand."He had always known what Charles was capable of. "This was my fault. I'll fix it and give you an answer you'll be satisfied with.""Oh yeah?" Charles sneered coldly. "What about Savannah?"Sean's head snapped up. "Charles, she's my mother. If you want revenge, come at me. Kill me, torture me—whatever you want."Charles curled his lips. "You think I won't?""I know you will," Sean said.He turned to look at Liliana lying in the bed. She had not woken

"Sean… promise me… Take revenge for me." Liliana shakily reached out, but before her hand could even touch Sean's face, it dropped lifelessly to the ground."Liliana… Liliana!" Sean shouted like a possessed man. He scooped her into his arms and rushed to the car.In the car, Peter saw the state Liliana was in and froze in shock. "Sean…""Drive. Go to the hospital. Right now! The hospital!" Sean's voice trembled with fear.He was terrified. For the first time, he was truly terrified.Everything Liliana said moments ago echoed in his mind. The look in her eyes, the lifelessness of her body… She was slipping away from him.Sean could not imagine it. If Liliana really left him—if she truly died—what would he do?His entire body trembled as he held her cold, stiff form tightly in his arms. "Liliana… I won't let anything happen to you. I swear, I won't."Peter stepped on the gas. The car roared through the rain. He glanced at the two people in the backseat and quietly shook his head.

Liliana did not know how long she had been lying on the ground. Just when she thought she was going to die there, a voice suddenly reached her ears. It was so close, yet it felt so far away."Liliana, Liliana!"Sean had felt uneasy all day during his business trip, as if something bad was about to happen. He could not shake the feeling off. However, being away, he had no way of knowing what was going on.When Jasmine called to tell him that Savannah had taken Liliana away, the unease in his chest surged uncontrollably.He had always known Savannah disliked Liliana, but he never expected her to actually take her away.There was no time to catch a flight. Sean drove straight back, speeding for over five hours to return to Brookville. The moment he arrived, he went home to confront Savannah.When he questioned her, he learned that she had handed Liliana over to Joanna. Savannah had reassured him repeatedly, claiming that Joanna was just going to help with the abortion and that, as a

What gave Liliana the right? She was nothing more than an illegitimate daughter, so how could she deserve Sean's affection?The cold surgical instruments stirred inside Liliana's womb. Her entire body convulsed from the pain, but Joanna looked on with sheer satisfaction.Finally, when the child inside Liliana had turned into nothing but a pool of blood, Joanna's gaze turned chilling as she stared at her. "Ha! Liliana, now that the baby's gone, do you think Sean will still marry you?""You lunatic...! I won't let you get away with this. I won't ever let you go."Joanna, still holding the scalpel, slashed another cut across Liliana's face. "I won't let you die that easily. I'll take your child, then destroy your face. Look at yourself. Go on, take a look!"She pulled out a mirror from God knew where and held it up in front of Liliana.Liliana, already in despair, showed no reaction upon seeing the bloodied mess that was her face. The pain in her abdomen was so overwhelming that she
