Fred squinted. "Are you certain?""Yes! He's alone. No one's with him!""Keep a sharp eye on him!"Following his memory, Yves quickly reached Edward's gravestone. It was clear that no one had taken care of it for a long time, but there were fresh marks on the ground and flattened grass in front of it.Yves glanced around. "Come out. I'm here!"Fred caught Seth in a swift move, and Yoan pulled Kelly out.Seeing the blood on Kelly's mouth, Yves's eyes briefly narrowed in shock before returning to normal.He balled his fists, his gaze fixed on Fred. "I didn't think you'd still be alive!""Disappointed I'm not dead?" Fred held Seth tight. "Looks like this mother and son mean a lot to you!""Enough talk. You didn't bring me here just for them!" Yves said calmly as Fred studied his face."After all these years, is this how you greet your own father? How can you be so unfeeling?""My father died a long time ago." Yves's voice was frigid as he stared at Fred. "What do you really wan

"You knew he was the real villain all along, so you killed him!""Haha!" Fred's eyes blazed with fury. "He had it coming. Without him, I'd be the top dog of the Hoffman family. Mateo and Henry wouldn't stand a chance. I'll let you in on a secret—I did want to go back to the Hoffmans, but your grandma said no. That old man from the Yorks told me I had to wait until he kicked the bucket to get my revenge. But he was the killer, so I took care of him myself. I bet your grandpa would thank me if he could see me now!""You're a lost cause, and I'm not going to help you mess with Charles or the Hoffmans for any longer!" Yves glared at Fred. "And do you really think you can take on Charles without my help?"Charles gutted York Group in just two weeks. Charles wiped out every single company you had and all the ones I owned. You can't possibly be clueless about that, right?""Zip it!" Fred's face darkened, a deadly look in his eyes as he grabbed Kelly by the throat. "If you don't want him d
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1713
Instead of the expected scene of chaos within Collosus Group and their plummeting stock prices, the screen was filled with a series of lines that looked like a steep mountain slope—all showing the stock prices of Fred’s overseas companies taking a nosedive.Fred could not believe his eyes and kept whispering to himself, "It can't be true."Yves was just as stunned, but when he saw how calm Charles was, he realized that Charles was much more capable than he had ever imagined.Charles was looking at Fred with a serene expression. "Maybe I should start calling you 'Uncle'?" he said, his voice warm and friendly.Fred's face twisted with anger. "Haha! Charles, you're really something. I never thought you'd dig up so much dirt in such a short time and even manage to wreck the empire I've spent decades building. But do you really think you've seen all my tricks? Do you think I only used Kelly just to draw Yves out?""Oh?" Charles raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity in his voice. "Then

The men were each armed with a gun, and Yves realized in an instant that they were the very people Fred had trained himself. When Fred died, they naturally fell under Yves's command.Even though they obeyed Yves's orders, they were Fred's men through and through. As long as Fred was alive, they would never truly be loyal to Yves.A frigid glint flickered in Yves's eyes as he clenched his fists and shot a quick glance at Charles. "These are the ones he left behind, the shadow guards trained by Elon." Yves's eyes shone with determination as he spoke.Charles met Yves's gaze, narrowing his eyes slightly, quickly catching on to what Yves meant.Yves cast another glance at Kelly, whom Fred was holding. "Remember: no matter what happens, keep her safe."At last, Charles's eyes showed a hint of change, but he took a long time to nod. "Okay.”Yves reached behind him, signaling to Charles, then faced Fred. "Let Kelly and Seth go. I'll do anything you ask!""Really? Then I want you to kil

Kelly's heart raced as she stood frozen in fear. Next to her, Fred, who had been keeping her captive, was losing his patience. He pulled out a gun and aimed it at Charles. However, Charles was too quick, dodging every time Fred tried to take a shot.Suddenly, Kelly realized something was terribly wrong. She turned and saw Fred pointing the gun at Charles and Yves."No... Please don't!"Her cry came too late. Without thinking, she shoved Fred, making him miss his shot.Fred glared at Kelly, furious. "You... You'll pay for this!"He turned the gun on Kelly."Don't..."Yves could not believe Fred would actually shoot Kelly. He was fast, but not faster than a bullet.In a split second, a surprise shot rang out. Fred's hand jerked, and the bullet hit Kelly's arm. "Ah!"Kelly's scream pierced the air. She felt a strong pull, and before she knew it, Yves had swept her into his arms. Meanwhile, Fred was down with a bullet in his head, and Yoan, who was right beside him, had been shot
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1716
In the operating room, Linda and Sean were working hard to save Kelly. The bullet had missed her vital organs and hit her arm, but she was still in a lot of pain.Kelly was out cold from the anesthesia. Linda was a great doctor, but surgery was not her strong suit unlike Sean. She was there to help out wherever she could.Linda realized she still had a lot to learn. She watched Sean carefully operate on Kelly, making a big cut in her arm to get the bullet out.The surgery was not too complicated, but they had to be extra careful because Kelly was so well-known. Any mistakes would be a big deal, which was why Sean was in charge.Normally, Sean would not fuss over a gunshot wound that was not life-threatening, especially if it was on a man. However, Kelly was different.The surgery was quick, and before long, Kelly was wheeled out of the room. She was still knocked out, probably from losing too much blood and the anesthesia.Outside the surgery room, Charles and Yves, along with th

Yves looked like he had remembered something important. "But that day, she gave Noelle the necklace. I thought she got Noelle mixed up with Kelly at first. I did talk to Grandma about Kelly when we were dating, and I even showed her a picture!"Charles squinted. "You really love and respect your grandma."Yves nodded. "She's always been so calm and stayed out of trouble. I didn't get it before, but now I do. When she gave that bracelet to Noelle, she was actually giving it back to the Hoffmans. She was also telling me it wasn't mine to want.""Aren't you part of the Hoffman family too?" Charles had to admit he had always looked up to Yves. When he first met him, back when Yves went by the name Jacob, he was someone with real guts.Yves just smiled. "To be honest, I've never cared about the Hoffman family's business. I grew up carrying a grudge, and it's always been what drove me. But now, when I think about it, what does any of that have to do with me? My grandpa passed away before
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1718
"I guess I'll go get busy then!" Ronald could not stand to look at Charles's face any longer.They had just survived a terrifying ordeal, yet Charles seemed calm, as if nothing had happened. How could he be so chill?Someone was still in the OR fighting for their life, and they had not even started to deal with what came next. There was Charles, acting all serious, saying he was busy. Busy with what? The ones running around like crazy were them, his underlings, right?Of course, Ronald kept those thoughts to himself in front of Charles.Once Ronald was gone, Charles relaxed his gaze. Shortly after, Sean and Linda emerged from the OR, pushing Kelly out too.Yves and Charles both stood up. "How did it go?" they asked.Sean removed his mask, glanced at Charles, then turned to Yves. "The patient is safe for now, but still under anesthesia. It'll be a few hours before they wake up. Let's get them to a room."With a pat on Charles's shoulder, Sean added, "You know, Charles, it wasn't

"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
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2126
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
