"Go ask her if she wants to join Royal Star Entertainment," Charles said in an icy voice. Xavier was taken aback. He did not expect Charles to make such an offer. "Charles, are you really going to sign Winter?""She'll need to come here to discuss it herself. If she's interested, she should see Ronald. He's the one in charge of everything at Royal Star Entertainment. If you come to me, all I can do is introduce you two," Charles explained."Got it. Thanks," Xavier said, understanding what he needed to do.Xavier left feeling a bit rattled. He had braced himself for a tough conversation, but Charles had been unexpectedly bold.Winter rushed over to Xavier as soon as she saw him. "Xavier, what happened? Did Charles say yes?"He nodded, and Winter hugged him tightly, beaming with joy. "Dear, I just knew it would work out! You're the best," she said and quickly kissed Xavier.Xavier, a bit overwhelmed by Winter's excitement, gently pushed her back. "Don't celebrate too soon. Charles

No one knew what Winter's face would look like when she found out, but she was feeling great for now. She thought she would be set for success with Charles's support, so why worry about the future?Winter did not waste any time. She went straight to Ethan at Whitemoor Company to ask him to break her contract. Sure, Winter was not the star she used to be, but Whitemoor had spent a lot of time and money making her famous. They were not too happy about letting her walk away for nothing.However, Winter had some powerful friends. The Shaw and Harris families knew she was close to Charles, who was a big deal in their circles. Thus, they decided to help Winter talk to the big boss at Whitemoor.The boss did not want to let Winter go at first, but he got a phone call in the middle of their discussion, and whatever he heard made him change his tune. He agreed to let Winter out of the contract, but Winter would have to pay to leave the company.The Shaw and Harris families were ready to do

"You..." Winter said angrily. "This contract is unfair and invalid!""Unfair and invalid? Ms. Shaw, a contract is valid from the moment you sign it. I'm pretty sure you know that, even if you're not a business whiz," Ronald said, tucking the contract away with a sly grin. "You think this deal's bad for you? You need to understand the kind of gamble Royal Star Entertainment is taking by stepping up despite the way things are going for you right now. If you don't want to follow through with it, sure, the deal's off. However, if you’re going to back out after agreeing... Well, you’d better think long and hard about that.""You..." Winter was totally blindsided by Ronald's bold move. "I'm related to Mr. Hoffman!""Who are you talking about?" Ronald teased with a smirk. "Royal Star Entertainment is mine to run now that Mr. Hoffman has handed it over. "Winter's face lost a bit of color. "Does Charles know you're doing this?""Mr. Hoffman's name isn't something just anybody can throw ar

Winter let out a huge sigh of relief when she saw that. The way Royal Star Entertainment handled things was truly impressive.As Jade walked by Winter's messy room, she grew worried something bad had happened. "Winter, what's going on? Is there a problem with Charles?""No, Mom. Charles said yes, and I've signed the contract. Don't worry!" Winter replied, remembering the contract she had signed but choosing not to mention the details to Jade. "I'm all good now. Mom, I really have to thank Xavier for helping out this time. If it wasn’t for him...""My dear, he's your fiance. Of course he's going to help you. But you've got to step up too. Remember what happened back then..." Jade let out a sigh. "Now that it's all sorted, just keep the past to yourself. Thankfully, Xavier didn't make a fuss. And make sure you keep Xavier's dad happy too!""I understand!" Winter's eyes sparkled as she remembered how Xavier had treated her that day, and she clenched her teeth. "Xavier really loves me,

Noelle had not been back to Frotconn since her incident. It seemed like Frotconn was just waiting for her to quit on her own, and Noelle knew it. However, she was not about to give up and resign. She had been hanging out at Phoenix Tree Residence lately.Charles had Ronald show Noelle how Royal Star Entertainment had been doing over the years. Noelle had never worked with showbiz before, so she did not know much about it. However, now that she owned part of Royal Star Entertainment, she had to start figuring some things out.For the past few days, Noelle had been busy reading up on Royal Star Entertainment. She pored over files and learned about the stars signed with the company and the new projects they were launching.Ronald used to take care of all those details, only sometimes showing them to Charles for a quick check. Charles trusted Ronald completely and never really asked about the business.However, things had changed a bit recently. Ronald had started to report to Charles
The Cherished Wife Chapter 256
"Who?" Charles asked, tapping on his desk."Winter's agent, Jane Gordon!" Ronald explained. "She used to work for Whitemoor Company, and she's not too happy with Winter. Now that Winter's cut ties with Whitemoor, Jane didn't stick with her!"Charles revealed a small smile and lifted an eyebrow, telling Ronald to go on. Ronald nodded and said, "The folks at Whitemoor Company found out that Royal Star Entertainment wants Winter, so they agreed to let Winter go. Whitemoor didn't say much about Jane. I figured that since she used to be Winter's agent, why not keep her on? She knows Winter better than anyone else!""Go ahead with handling these smaller matters," Charles said."Will do!" Ronald could tell Charles was happy with his plan. "Oh, and there's something else."Charles frowned and gestured for him to continue. "What is it?""It's about Madam's old place..." Ronald hesitated. "She never gave it up, so the landlord's been holding onto it. It wasn't a problem, but lately... Well

Ronald shook his head quickly. "Nope. I'm all done with my report!"Charles gave Ronald a look, and Ronald clamped his mouth shut, then blurted out, "Oh, I just remembered. I've got something else to do, Mr. Hoffman, Madam. I'll be on my way!""Um..." Noelle, noticing Ronald's rush, felt a bit puzzled. "I've cooked some food, Ronald. You can eat before you leave!"Ronald stopped for a second, feeling sharp eyes on him. He straightened up and let out a goofy laugh. "Madam, you're too kind, but I really have to run. I've got some urgent things to handle. Enjoy your dinner. I won't keep you!"Watching Ronald zoom off, Noelle paused, then turned to Charles and bit her lip. "Why did he rush off like that? Did you give him something urgent to do?"Charles narrowed his eyes in thought, then stood up and waved Noelle over. "What's up?" Noelle asked as she came closer. She glanced at the papers on the desk and raised her eyebrows. "Is this Winter's contract?"He nodded and handed her the

The anticipation seemed to speed up his recovery.Noelle had not been back to Frotconn since. She spent her days either at Phoenix Tree Residence or by Samuel's side in the hospital. One day, she ran into Jade in the hospital. Jade was already fuming at the sight of Noelle, especially angry that she had not been able to find Noelle at her home recently. It made her itch with frustration.Jade stood in front of the ward’s door, her arms crossed. She did not let Noelle inside.Noelle tried to step around her, but Jade caught her arm. "Hey! Don't you know how to greet your own mother?"Noelle's eyebrows pinched together as she looked at her arm in Jade's grip. It hurt a little, and she pulled away. "Mom!" she said, her voice strong and clear. Anyone listening could tell Noelle was not happy with Jade.Jad

The medicine was clear and tasteless, and it would disappear after a while. Linda wanted Janet to fall into a deep sleep fast. In no time, she noticed Janet's eyebrows twitch, and then she was out like a light."You're so mean, poking so many holes in people. Well, let's see how you like it," Linda said.She hopped onto the bed, grabbed some silver instruments from her bag, and with quick, sure moves, she stuck them into Janet's body. Janet, fast asleep, did not feel a thing.Linda had always been fascinated by special treatments, even though her family did not want to teach her. She had learned it all on her own, sometimes even practicing with Saxon. Saxon himself said Linda was better at it than he was. In fact, Linda's talent was way better than Saxon's.However, Linda was not done. She felt like she had not had enough fun. She took out another bottle from her bag and popped a pill into Janet's mouth. "This pill? I made it from a virus I got from those dead rats of yours. It mig

"Don't worry, these small fries are no match for me," Linda boasted with confidence. "Even if I can't beat them physically, one poke with my instrument and they'll be begging for mercy!"Sean smirked when he heard that. "Alright, I've already scoped the place out. The first floor is where the servants bunk, so let's not stir them up. The second floor is Milo's and the Baker family head's pad. Janet and Jace are on the third floor — remember, Janet is our mark, so don't mess up the rooms."Sean pointed at the floor plan he had managed to get his hands on.Linda shot Sean an impatient look. "Okay. I'm not a kid, you know!"After stashing their gear, Sean gestured to the side. "You take the southeast approach, and I'll start from this end."With that, they set off on their mission.The guards might have had some fight in them, but to Sean and Linda, they were a walk in the park to deal with, especially in the dead of night when guards were sleepy and dropped their guard. Seizing the

Liliana bit her lip, "Brother, I...""Don't rush to give me an answer. Think about it. It's late, so you should head back."Liliana nodded, "Okay, I'll go then." She got up, hesitated for a moment, and added, "Brother, your wife is going to be okay!"Charles gave a small smile, "I know." He had always known.Once Liliana was gone, Charles sat down next to Noelle, watching her sleep peacefully. He gently touched her skin.While she had been sick, he might have looked composed and calm, but nobody knew the pain he felt better than he did. He knew he could not let himself worry, especially not in front of Noelle.Yesterday, when he walked into the bedroom and saw Noelle sleeping so deeply, he fought hard to keep his feelings in check. He did not want to lose his composure.Today, all of the poison was finally out of her system, and he felt like he had gotten back something very special that he had lost. He gently stroked Noelle's face and said, "I've waited so long for you. No more

Those people were so irritating. Could they not see Noelle was still out cold? There they were, acting all lovey-dovey right in front of him? Charles was really upset.Peter and Yves caught each other's eye and had to stifle a laugh. Charles had been all about showing off his own romance before, but then he could not handle a bit of theirs?"Are you guys going or what?"Peter smirked and replied, "Sure thing!"Once everyone had left, the big hospital room was quiet with just Charles and Liliana left. Liliana paused, looking from Charles to Noelle.She had thought about leaving with Peter and the rest, but she stayed because she had something on her mind. Charles could tell. He gently fixed Noelle's blanket before turning to Liliana, "You wanted to talk?"Liliana nodded, "Yeah.""Let's hear it."Charles had a pretty good guess already. It was all about old family drama. He had not wanted Liliana to go back to the Hoffmans, and it was not just to be mean. With her awkward place i

"Yes." Tania agreed with a nod. "Ms. Holt told me mine is the first-generation poison."Saxon gave a small laugh. "You're lucky that little Linda didn't wear you out completely." However, even as he said that, he checked them over with care. "You're all okay. Linda used silver instruments to get the poison out, and what else did she give you?""Um... Ms. Holt said it was sugar, and it was really sweet," Tania recalled that Linda had indeed given them lots of candy.Saxon smiled again. "Well, keep on eating!" Actually, the candies Linda had were not the ones she made, but the special ones Saxon had switched with hers. Those candies were like treasures, and he never thought she would give them all away to help. It looked like these folks meant a lot to her.Saxon pulled out some more candies from his pocket and handed them to Tania and Kelly. "This is all I've got right now. We'll figure it out once you've finished these."He seemed pretty relaxed about it, but the one who had poiso

"Okay, as soon as Noelle gets out of the hospital and Ves comes back to the Hoffman family, we're going to throw a huge party. It's been ages since we've had such a good time, and with Yves and Liliana both here, it'll be perfect!" Maxwell announced, his eyes sparkling with excitement as he looked at Yves.Maxwell had thought his brother's family line had ended, but to his surprise, there was still Yves. He was beside himself with joy. "Ves, please come back home to the Hoffman family, and to the Collosus Group too!"Yves scrunched his face and was about to respond, but Kelly cut in quickly, "He'll definitely come back!"Yves paused, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes, but he quickly smoothed out his expression, hiding the flurry of emotions inside.The two families could not just stand around forever. After spending a little more time admiring the two adorable babies, they visited Noelle's hospital room. Since Noelle was still asleep, they all decided that it was time to head

Bran's innocent comment had everyone laughing. "Oh, Bran, they just haven't opened their eyes yet. When they grow up, they'll be as cute as you!""Really?" Bran asked, tilting their head, "Okay then!"Liliana had been quiet the whole time, just watching the babies in the incubator.She had not really wanted to come, since the Hoffmans and the Smiths were not exactly her biggest fans. However, she wanted to see those babies, to see the little ones who belonged to Charles and Noelle.Today, both families were filled with joy, and nobody paid much attention to Liliana. Even if they were not fond of her, they would not send her away on such a happy day.Liliana gazed at the two little babies in the warm nursery, and her eyes quickly filled with tears. She placed her hands gently on the glass, a small smile spreading across her face as she whispered to herself, "They are so beautiful."Clarisse watched Liliana and felt a mix of emotions stirring within her.She did not feel very clos

Yves gave a gentle smile and stroked Seth's hair. "Are you having a good time?""Yes!" Seth bobbed his head enthusiastically. "Bran and Bobby are really nice!" Seth had clearly made friends, and Yves' smile grew wider. However, then he turned to Kelly. "Would you like to visit the hospital?"Kelly's eyes lifted. "Is that okay?" She had been worried about Noelle's safety, but she knew that her presence might not help and might even be a hindrance. Besides, the kids needed someone to watch over them, so she had been trying to stay calm.When Yves made the offer, Kelly wanted to go. "How's Noelle doing?""Charles just called. The mom and babies are all doing great!" Yves told Kelly with a big smile, looking really happy. "It's a boy and a girl, but they came a bit early. They're still in their cozy incubators for now.""And how's Noelle?" Kelly asked quickly."She's fine too, just getting some rest," Yves replied, softly touching Kelly's forehead. Kelly blinked in surprise, looking

"Winter mailed the package. I thought Mrs. Hoffman would open it, but she didn't!" The maid's face showed a flicker of disappointment. "Winter promised the item would surely frighten Mrs. Hoffman, so...""So, you tried to scare her?" Yves thought that Winter must really hate Noelle, especially since she was pregnant.Yves squinted and asked, "What happened next?""When Winter heard that it didn't work, she met with me and handed me a lamp. She said it was from Mr. Baker and told me to light it while Mrs. Hoffman was fast asleep. She said that it would go unnoticed!"After she spoke, the maid fell to the ground, too much in pain to stand. The guard service member, seeing that, stabbed her thigh with a knife, "Ahh..."The maid screamed again, but the guard service member quickly covered her mouth.The pain had nearly knocked her out, but then she was wide awake again, "I've told you everything I know, I don't know anything else, I really don't.""How do you two keep in touch?"
