Peter's eyes narrowed when he saw Sean. "You got here quickly."Sean let out a chilling laugh, his face fixed with a fake, friendly smile. "When you call, Peter, I wouldn't dream of taking my time."Peter glared at him, and Sean quickly put up his hands. "Okay, okay, no need for that look. You didn't just call me here to stare me down, did you?"Peter scrunched his eyebrows together and then handed Sean a student ID. "Vista University?"Sean raised an eyebrow, but when he saw the student ID, his eyes landed on the innocent face pictured, and he could not help but smirk. "Wow, looks like a young girl has totally played you!""She's not that skilled!" Peter snapped back, his fingers laced together on his lap. His eyes seemed colder than before. "Do you know her?"Sean's mouth twitched at Peter's intense gaze. "Could you look any scarier?""Out with it!""Her name's Tania, Liliana's classmate and bestie," Sean said casually. "What's she done to you?"Since Liliana was involved, S

"That overprotected nephew of the Lennon family? No way. How is Tania even connected to Jamie, and why did she come to you to catch a cheater?"Sean thought the situation was funny and let out a soft chuckle. "You know, you really don't need me for your investigation. You've got people way better than mine."Peter gave Sean an indifferent look. "I’m glad you realize that."Sean's mouth twitched with annoyance. "Peter, just because you're older doesn't mean you can...""Hmm?"Sean clammed up. "Fine. What do you want me to do?""By tomorrow morning, the news about today will be all over the papers and magazines," Peter said, tapping his knee. "I want all the stories pulled." He paused, thinking. "Actually, leave one.""What's your plan?"Sean was confused about Peter's intentions. "You're not thinking of...""Nobody knows I was at the Grand Hull Hotel today," Peter said with a slight chuckle. "I'm curious to see who's bold enough to try and play me.""And the girl...""She'll

Lareal glanced at Peter. The light in the bedroom was dim, casting shadows on Peter's face and making it hard to read his expression. However, for a split second, Lareal caught a glimpse of a mischievous twinkle in Peter's eyes. "Go on," Peter said with a hint of amusement."Let me tell you about Tania. Her story is quite unusual. The parents she lives with now aren't her real mom and dad. She was adopted from an orphanage by a woman named Yasmin, who later married a man named Christian. They made a family together. Christian is really kind to Tania and Yasmin, treating Tania as if she were his own daughter. Yasmin has everything she could ever want. ""Your main point is…" Peter said, looking up with a frown.Lareal cleared his throat. "The main thing is that Yasmin isn't nice to Tania at all. You'd think Yasmin would love Tania since she adopted her, but when Christian isn't around, Yasmin is mean to her, yelling and hitting her a lot. That only stopped when Tania got a bit older
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1965
Tania could not figure out why Yasmin was so mean to her, disliking her ever since she was a child. If Yasmin did not like her, why did she adopt her? Why live together if she did not like her?Why did Yasmin have to go after her boyfriend?What Tania could not accept the most was why Jamie would turn to Yasmin. He could have chosen anyone, even someone younger and prettier, and she would not have felt as heartbroken as she did now. "Liliana, why are they doing this to me?"Liliana felt Tania's heartache but did not know how to make it better. All she could do was hug her friend tightly. "Don't cry over that guy, Tania. There are plenty more out there. You're young, with so much time and life ahead of you."Tania cried until she was too tired to stay awake and fell asleep.Liliana could not bear to wake her, so she gently covered Tania with a blanket, wiped her face with a wet cloth, and sat by her side in the living room, staying with her all through the night.When Tania woke u

Liliana could easily see the panic on Tania's face and instinctively held her hand tighter. "Liliana, I... I..."Something was definitely up with Tania, Liliana thought, as she examined the photos and the story in the magazine. Even though the photos were not very clear, she knew Tania so well that she instantly recognized her. The man with her was Peter.In the photo, Tania and Peter were wrapped up in each other, and Peter was barely dressed. He had just a towel around his waist and was clearly fresh from a shower.Liliana swallowed, feeling a bit shocked. Even without Tania's explanation, she could piece together the story from the photos and imagine it all too clearly.Peter might have been a mystery to Tania. She had only heard whispers of his name around town, but Liliana knew the truth. He was cut from the same cloth as her big brother Charles, but he was much colder.Charles and Sean liked to play with their prey, wearing them down until nothing was left. However, Peter wa
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1967
Tania could not figure out if she had lost her mind, but she ended up arguing with Peter. She could not even recall what she said, but she ran off with shaky legs after that. Surprisingly, Peter did not come after her.Tania had thought the whole mess was behind her, especially after she saw Peter's guys destroy the story with her own eyes. However, it was now splashed across the pages of a magazine. There were whispers all over town that the big boss of Lennon Group, Peter, did not care much for the company of women. For years, no lady had been seen at his side, sparking all sorts of gossip. Those business bigwigs were just as much in the spotlight as movie stars, so the paparazzi were always hot on their heels. This time, someone must have set up the scoop in advance.Taking a deep breath, Tania turned to Liliana, only to find her friend's face all scrunched up in concern. "Liliana, I swear, I got it all wrong. I got a text saying Jamie was in that hotel room, so I went. I never
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1968
Liliana's words struck a chord, and Tania paused, suddenly still. She nodded. "Yes, Peter. I need to find Peter."If Jamie and Yasmin had set that trap for her and Peter, then she and Peter were in this together. After all, an enemy's enemy was a friend. They were both caught up in this mess, and she might have even upset Peter. Her next step was clear: she had to find Peter.Liliana watched Tania settle down and let out a relieved sigh. "You're not yourself right now. Stay home and rest for the next couple of days. Don't go out, okay?"Liliana kept reminding Tania, but seeing her unresponsive, she felt uneasy. She stayed by Tania's side all day. Tania was quiet the entire time. After dinner, when she was resting, Liliana seized the moment to call Sean. "Sean, can I talk to you for a second?"Sean had just walked through the hospital doors when his phone buzzed with a call from Liliana. He was the head of the hospital, but he still made sure to treat everyone the same. Though he wa

"Why not? Sean, it's not Tania's fault either. She's a victim too. Can't you just speak to Peter? Tania is really...""Liliana, I'm not refusing to help," Sean cut her off. "You know Peter's status in the Lennon family. Sure, the Lennon Group depends on him, but he's just the general manager, not the one calling the shots. Did you know that after his issue last night, the Lennon Group's been all over the place today?"Sean gazed at Liliana with a serious look in his eyes. "You make a good point, and yes, Tania is a victim. However, she did burst into the room, and that's a fact. She's partly to blame for what happened, right? The Lennon Group's stock took a nosedive today. Do you have any idea how much they lost?"Liliana's face turned white at Sean's words. "So, Peter won't let Tania off the hook, will he?"Sean stayed quiet. Truth be told, if Peter were to drop the issue, this girl would not be in any trouble. However, Peter had implicated Tania too.If Sean still could not figu

"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
