"No! Don't!"The moment Noelle mentioned calling the police, Jade immediately objected."Noelle, the Shaws raised you for so many years, and this is how you repay us? You're so heartless and ungrateful. You're really going to call the police? Isn't it enough that you've taken over City Ring Corp.? Now, you want to send Winter to prison too?""Shouldn't she go to prison? She killed Grandpa! She's a murderer! How does she not deserve it?" Noelle retorted, her voice sharp with anger.She could not believe that Jade was still protecting Winter, even to the point of helping cover up her crimes.Seeing that Noelle was serious about calling the police, Jade desperately grabbed Julian's hand. "Jule, look at what Noelle is doing! Say something! For the sake of your father, for all these years we've taken care of her, tell her to let Winter go!"Julian, however, was too consumed by the images from the earlier video. He could not fathom how the people he trusted most had done such things. W

"Alright, then!" Noelle finally relented. She knew she could not continue rejecting Grant's offer and nodded in agreement.Seeing this, Grant signaled Kresten, who promptly came forward with documents from his briefcase. "I'll leave the rest to Mr. Cook."Since Kent was present and so were all the shareholders, Grant used this moment to finalize the transfer of shares, ensuring Noelle's future position in City Ring Corp. was unshakable. It also served to prevent any future disputes over ownership.Kent understood the importance of this, so he immediately got to work.Kent's efficiency was remarkable, and he quickly prepared the transfer agreement. Grant officially transferred his shares to Noelle in front of everyone, leaving no room for doubt about her ownership.Once the matter was settled, Noelle glanced at Ronald, who promptly gathered the documents. "That's done. I believe today's meeting can now be considered concluded!""Yes, yes, a successful conclusion. But when will the

"Mrs. Hoffman, well said!" Ronald could not help but applaud Noelle.Noelle merely curved her lips slightly. "Mr. Wells, please hand over all these pieces of evidence to the police. And remember to tell them that my grandfather's death wasn't an accident!""You wretched woman, Noelle! I'll fight you to the death!" Jade screamed."You're a curse! You won't stop until you destroy the Shaws completely, will you? You and your shameless mother are the same—both of you are nothing but disgraceful women!"Jade lunged at Noelle in an attempt to grab her, but Andrew stepped in and kicked her away. "Damn it! What's wrong with you, woman? How dare you lay a hand on Mrs. Hoffman!"Andrew was not like Ronald—he was a straightforward and rough man who was loyal to his boss. To him, Noelle, as Charles' wife, was his boss as well.Jade had repeatedly ignored their warnings and even dared to try and harm Noelle. Andrew was not going to tolerate it anymore.Jade was sent flying with the force of

Noelle's lips twitched slightly. "He's impressive!"She meant it. She did not think Sean would place surveillance cameras everywhere. Did Sean not realize how costly it was to install cameras even in places that were not necessary, like hospital wards?Was it not an issue to install cameras inside patient rooms? Surely, that infringed on privacy, did it not?Still, Noelle kept these thoughts to herself. After all, without Sean's video, she would not have had concrete evidence to defend herself.Besides, it was thanks to these recordings that she realized Winter and Jade were far more terrifying than she had ever imagined.Noelle sighed softly. Standing beside her, Grant noticed the subtle change in her mood. "The dead can't be brought back, Noelle."Turning to look at Grant, Noelle murmured, "I can't shake the feeling that I bear some responsibility for Grandpa's death."Although it was not directly her doing, Winter's jealousy toward her led to Samuel being dragged into this me

Ronald suddenly realized he had been staring at Noelle and quickly averted his gaze. "N-Nothing!" he stammered.He would not dare admit that he had been pondering the nature of Noelle and Grant's relationship. If Noelle found out, she might think he would report it to Charles—and truth be told, he had briefly considered it.Noelle gave Ronald a faint smile before redirecting her gaze. "Let's head back.""Mrs. Hoffman, do you want to return to the office or go home?""Home."After everything that had happened today, Noelle was not in the mood to go back to the office."In that case, I'll have Andrew take you home. I need to head over to the police station to deal with the follow-up matters."Noelle nodded, understanding that Ronald would handle the aftermath. "Andrew, take me home, please."...Inside City Ring Corp., after Noelle and Grant left, Julian's anger boiled over as he looked at Jade's despairing face.Between the issue of the company's shares and Samuel's death, J

"Fine, Julian, very well! You'll regret treating me like this today!" Jade screamed.Having been thrown out of the Shaw residence and left homeless, Jade had no choice but to seek out Winter. Winter, however, had been in hiding due to the recent events.No one knew her whereabouts, not even the police who were actively searching for her. At that moment, Winter was holed up in an abandoned warehouse in the southern part of the city.Across from her sat a man dressed in a black suit, which gave him an air of darkness, like a specter of the night. His face was hidden behind an intricately crafted silver mask.Winter could not see his face but could make out his sharp eyes and chiseled jawline, enough to imagine that he must be strikingly handsome.She had been in that warehouse for several days, with nowhere else to go. Someone delivered food to her daily, and while she was restless, she knew she could not leave yet. Normally, the visitors were minor lackeys, but today, a more signif

Jethro tossed an object to Winter, who stared at him in confusion. "What's this?""Take it. Find the right moment to meet Noelle. The instructions on how to use it are included. Remember, there's only one of these—don't lose it."After saying this, Jethro handed Winter a small communication device. "And don't use this casually, understand?"He grabbed Winter's chin, forcing her to look up at him. "Did you get that?"Winter was momentarily stunned, her wide eyes fixed on Jethro. His piercing gaze seemed to hold secrets, making it impossible for her to look away.She swallowed hard while nodding. "I understand."Jethro smiled in satisfaction and nodded. "Good. Right now, it's not safe for you to go out. And don't go looking for Xavier again, got it?"Though Jethro's tone was calm, his words carried an implicit warning. Winter's pupils contracted slightly, and her hands clenched into fists. "I understand."He knew she had gone out before and even knew she had met Xavier.Jethro a

Even though Charles held the shares of City Ring Corp., it was Noelle who really had to run the show.Today, Ronald came from City Ring Corp. with some numbers for Noelle. "Mrs. Hoffman," he said, "Mr. Hoffman thinks that City Ring Corp. has taken a big hit. It's not going to be easy to get out of this mess quickly. We've got to deal with the projects from last year right away. Collosus Group will just have to put up some cash to cover the holes for everything else."Ronald explained while keeping an eye on Noelle. She was so engrossed with the reports that she did not even notice Ronald standing there. He waited quietly until she looked up.Noelle flipped through a few pages, her forehead wrinkling a bit. She glanced up at Ronald. "Mr. Wells, this... Mr. Wells, please sit down!"You can sit, you know!" she added, realizing he had been on his feet the whole time."That's okay, Mrs. Hoffman. I'm fine with standing!" Ronald said with a light smile. "Is something wrong?""No, nothin

Seth nodded, tilting his head as he looked at Kelly. "Mommy, you cried."Though young, Seth was incredibly perceptive. Noticing Kelly's red eyes, his small, soft hand reached out to gently rub her cheek.He even leaned closer and blew softly on her face. "Don't cry, Mommy!""I didn't cry, not at all," Kelly said while patting Seth's back gently.There was an apologetic look on her face. "I just forgot to make dinner for you tonight.""Then, Mommy, let's eat out! Seth has money—lots and lots of money. Seth will treat Mommy to some meat!"Seth's sweet, innocent words made Kelly's eyes redden again, but she smiled and nodded. "Alright, Seth. Change your clothes. I'll take you out for dinner, okay?"Later that evening, Kelly sat holding Seth while watching TV, but her mind could not stop drifting back to Noelle's face.Grant's words replayed in her head: she and Noelle were full-blooded sisters, sharing both parents.Kelly looked down at Seth, her thoughts in turmoil. She could

"Are you sure it's a virus?" Kelly asked, her voice trembling slightly."Yes," Grant replied with a firm nod, his sharp eyes fixed on her.He could see the disbelief and shock in Kelly's gaze, along with traces of guilt and unease.However, Kelly suddenly laughed, and she turned her head to face Grant. "Noelle has a virus, so she should go see a doctor. Why are you coming to me? Ha! It's ridiculous that Charles still wants to get me involved when his wife is sick. Why?""Kelly, this virus is extremely rare," Grant explained, his tone steady. "Sean currently doesn't have a clear treatment, but he mentioned one potential solution."Kelly's eyes flickered slightly, betraying a crack in her facade. "If there's a solution, then try it.""Sean believes we need to extract active enzymes from the blood of her closest relatives. Harrison and Shirley should already be at the hospital."Kelly froze again, her lips pressing into a thin line."Oh," she replied, feigning calm, though her emo

Grant noticed Kelly's reluctance to look at the documents and frowned slightly before speaking in an indifferent tone. "You don't have to look at it if you don't want to. After all, it's your decision whether to accept it or not."He placed the file on the table, his tone calm and detached, as though this matter had nothing to do with him.However, Kelly was far from calm. She glared at him, her voice trembling with suppressed anger. "If that's the case, why did you bring it here? Why did you agree? Why…"Her voice grew louder as she yelled at Grant, her emotions spiraling out of control. The noise startled Seth, who was sleeping in the other room.Hearing Seth's cries, Kelly immediately pushed past Grant and rushed into the room to scoop him into her arms. "Seth, don't cry. Mommy's here!""Mommy!" Seth clung tightly to her, his little hands grasping at her clothes."Yes, Mommy's here," Kelly murmured, cradling him as she gently patted his back. She hummed a soothing tune into hi

Kelly's feelings toward Grant were complicated. Growing up, her impression of him was not strong, and they certainly could not be described as having a close sibling bond.Later, Grant left the Andersons, disappearing to places unknown. When he finally returned, Kelly did not stay in Capiton for long before coming to Brookville.After that came the incident that changed everything, ultimately sending her abroad."Aren't you going to invite me in?" Grant glanced inside.Kelly frowned slightly. Although she seemed reluctant, she did not refuse and stepped aside to make way. "Come in. But I don't have much here, so I'm afraid I might not be the best host.""No problem."Grant noticed how much colder Kelly's demeanor had become. As he stepped into the modest apartment, he casually observed its simple layout.It was hard to reconcile this Kelly, living in such a sparse place, with the pampered young woman who once never lifted a finger.Feeling somewhat uneasy, Kelly closed the door
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1534
Kelly had been spending the past few days with Seth, whose health had improved significantly. After the recent incident, Kelly stayed in Brookville for a while, using the time to reflect deeply. One of the reasons she had not left Brookville was because of Seth's biological father.It had been almost four years. Not too long, yet not short either.Kelly thought she had let it go, but the DNA report comparing Seth with Maxwell made her hesitate once again.She always knew Seth was not Charles' child. She was fully aware of who the father was, yet his true identity remained a mystery.During those months four years ago, that man had stayed by her side, sharing a deeply unforgettable time with her. It was so unforgettable that she had pushed aside questions about his identity or purpose, choosing instead to immerse herself in the moment with him.Yet she was nothing more than a pawn for him to use against the Hoffmans in the end.Strangely, Charles had been absent from Brookville du

Grant's expression turned ice-cold in an instant. "What are you planning to do?""Kelly is Noelle's biological sister. Sean said only enzymes extracted from close relatives' blood might save Noelle. Whether it works or not, I have to try," Charles replied. His gaze was intense in a way Grant had never seen before.Grant had not expected to ever witness such an expression on Charles' face. He frowned deeply but eventually nodded. "I'll try, but she still doesn't know she's part of the Smith family.""You didn't tell her?" Charles was visibly surprised. He had assumed Grant would have already told Kelly the truth.Now, hearing that Kelly had no idea about her connection to Noelle or the Smith family, Charles was taken aback."I'll bring her over as soon as I can. Give me some time.""Fine, but don't take too long. Nelly can't wait," Charles said firmly. He understood that revealing the truth to Kelly and convincing her to help Noelle would not be easy. However, since Grant had ag

Sean emerged with a somber expression. "Margaret has confirmed that there's a fresh needle mark on Noelle's arm. That shadow from earlier must have injected something into her, which likely triggered her immediate symptoms."Charles clenched his fists, the sound of his knuckles cracking filling the tense air. "What's the plan?""Before the virus spreads too deeply, we could try using blood from Noelle's close relatives to extract certain components that might counteract it," Sean explained.Charles narrowed his eyes. "Be clearer. What are you suggesting?""This idea isn't fully tested. I only came across it in medical literature, and there's no guarantee it will work. If the virus hasn't invaded her bone marrow, we might still have a chance."Charles' expression eased slightly, but a hint of apprehension lingered. He glanced at Sean, who hesitated before continuing. "We need to call in Uncle Harrison and Shirley. Ideally, we should also bring Kelly here.""Fine!"Harrison arrive

"Make sure to cooperate well with Dr. Ellison, alright?"Charles leaned down, planting a soft kiss on Noelle's forehead before stepping out with Sean. "What's going on?"Outside, Peter, Tania, and Brandon were waiting. Brandon kept peeking into the room, and his curious eyes were wide with concern. "Uncle Charles, what's wrong with Aunt Noelle?"Charles' expression softened immediately. He reached out to tousle Brandon's hair gently. "Aunt Noelle is fine. She's just feeling a little sick.""Oh, then Bran will give Aunt Noelle some candy. If Auntie eats candy, she won't hurt anymore," Brandon said with childlike earnestness, pulling a few candies from his small bag and handing them to Charles."Uncle Charles, give these to Aunt Noelle!""Alright."Charles accepted the candies, his gaze drifting back to the room. He watched through the window as Noelle cooperated with Margaret's examination. His chest felt unbearably tight with worry."Have you figured out what to do yet?""Wh

"Mm, you didn't cry," Noelle said with a faint smile.Her face was still pale, but it was clear she had passed the peak of her pain.She placed her hands gently on Charles' face, slowly pulling herself up. After finding a comfortable position, she leaned into him, her head nuzzling against his chest like a mother soothing her child.Her delicate fingers traced the contours of his face. "You didn't cry."Charles could not help but tremble slightly. Lowering his gaze, he found Noelle looking up at him. She cupped his face with both hands, her body leaning closer, and her forehead was lightly pressing against his.She rubbed against him gently. "You were just worried about me," she said softly. Then, she placed a gentle kiss at the corner of his mouth."Our Charlie is the best, the strongest. How could he cry? Crying is my job."Noelle's smile was so tender and warm that it seemed to melt the storm brewing in Charles' heart.He carefully wrapped her in his arms, brushing his face
