Ronald brought Noelle inside. "Mr. Parker, this is Ms. Shaw. She's here for the interview!" Ronald introduced Noelle, gesturing toward her.Noelle met Brian's gaze and gave a slight nod. "Hello, Mr. Parker. I'm Noelle."Noelle's demeanor was very composed and confident, showing no signs of nervousness.Brian's gaze lingered on Noelle only briefly before turning to Ronald.Ronald immediately understood. "I have matters to attend upstairs. I'll leave the interview to you, Mr. Parker."After Ronald left, Brian took a proper look at Noelle, and then motioned for her to sit.Brian pulled out her resume from the drawer. This resume had been given to him by Ronald just the previous night, mentioning it was for someone he recommended. Known for his impartiality, Brian would not grant favors lightly.Though Brian had not known Ronald for long, he had a good sense of Ronald's character. Being Charles' right-hand man indicated Ronald's competence and integrity.Initially, Brian was no

Annie quickly explained, "It's not like that. I didn't do anything to Noelle. Last time was my fault. I just ran into her by chance and had a brief conversation. She said she wouldn't hold a grudge."Annie bit her lip and gripped the stair railing. "Did something happen? I really didn't do anything to Noelle!""Alright, I got it," Cody said, waving his hand dismissively. "I need to go out for a bit. If Mom and Dad ask, just tell them I went out for business."Then, Cody went upstairs, changed his clothes, and headed straight to Collosus Group's headquarters.…Meanwhile, Noelle answered all of Brian's questions thoroughly during the interview. In the end, Brian told her to wait for further notice and did not ask anything about her background.As soon as Noelle left Brian's office, Charles called her. Noelle looked around before answering, "What's up?""Finished with the interview?" Charles' clear voice had a hint of amusement. "Hmm?""Yeah, just finished. Did you have someone w

The light from outside streamed in, casting a glow around Charles, giving him an even more composed and steady presence.Noelle was mesmerized as she watched him. She might have continued staring if the office door had not been knocked on again.Charles looked up, meeting Noelle's admiring gaze and smiling slightly. He gestured toward the door. "Go open the door."Noelle snapped out of her daze. "Is that a good idea?"Besides Ronald, she did not know any of the Collosus staff, and anyone who could come to Charles' office was likely important. If they saw her in Charles' office, they might start speculating.Charles dismissed her concerns. "There's nothing to worry about. Just open the door."Noelle nodded, letting go of her worries. She walked over to open the door. She saw a woman wearing glasses and dressed in a professional office outfit. "Hello!"The woman was momentarily surprised to see Noelle but quickly regained her composure and nodded slightly. "I'm Mr. Hoffman's sec
The Cherished Wife Chapter 348
Cody examined Noelle, realizing that she was not as he had imagined.He had thought, based on Annie's descriptions, that Noelle might not be a respectable woman. However, seeing her now, she seemed quite dignified. She stood confidently beside Charles without being overshadowed.Charles' dark eyes fell on Cody, narrowing slightly. Cody immediately realized his mistake and quickly diverted his gaze."Mr. Adams, please sit. There's no need to be so tense," Charles said calmly, contrasting Cody's evident nervousness.Cody sat down again, feeling unsure about where to place his hands and feet.Becky then brought in tea, setting it down in front of him. Cody accepted it politely."Mr. Hoffman, may I ask why you've called me here today?" Cody could not fathom the reason why Charles summoned him here. After all, Charles had already promised to spare Annie and Adams Corp after the previous incident.Charles smiled slightly, releasing Noelle's hand and pulling a file from his desk drawer

Noelle sat quietly, listening to the conversation between the two men. When she heard Charles' suggestion about Annie continuing to associate with Winter, she showed a look of surprise on her face."Why are you asking Annie to stay close to Winter? That woman…" Noelle bit her lip. She could see that Annie had gained some clarity after her recent ordeal, and Noelle did not want Annie to stay involved with Winter, whom she understood too well."Mr. Adams, what do you think?" Charles asked, looking up at Cody.Cody hesitated for a moment, trying to comprehend Charles' intention.He quickly realized that Charles wanted Annie to act as a pawn, staying close to Winter so that if Winter planned anything against Noelle, Annie would be aware of it.Charles' plan was meticulous and showed how much he cared for Noelle, but it was not necessarily good for others involved.Annie was already mentally shaken by her recent ordeal. Now, Charles was asking her to maintain her friendship with Winte

"How's everything in the back?" Joseph asked Emilia. Busy with greeting guests, Emilia suddenly remembered. "Oh no, I haven't checked on Winter. I don't even know how she looks after getting ready.""I'll go look, Emilia!" Jade, who was overjoyed that her daughter was finally marrying Xavier, volunteered eagerly.She was especially delighted that her daughter had triumphed over that other woman's child.Seeing Jade's enthusiasm, Emilia nodded. "Alright. That makes more sense. You're Winter's mother and probably know her best."Jade exchanged a few words with Julian before going to the back.Winter had already finished her makeup and was adjusting her dress when she saw Jade come in. "Mom, have all the guests arrived?""Not yet, but you have no idea! All the prominent people of Brookville who could come are here!" Jade could not hide her joy. "Winter, my darling daughter, I want everyone in Brookville to know that my daughter is the happiest woman in the world.""Mom!" Winter lau

Annie had been eavesdropping for a bit and overheard Winter and Jade talking. With every word, she saw Winter in a new light. She could hardly believe that Winter, whom she had once helped to plot against Noelle, could be so cruel. The thought made her feel angry and trapped.Back in the day, Annie might have been bossy, but she never wanted to hurt anyone. She would never do something as mean as setting loose poisonous snakes. She had believed everything Winter said about Noelle, but listening to Winter and Jade now, she felt a cold shiver run through her.Annie had a pretty great life with loving parents and a caring older brother. She never had to worry about anything. It was tough for her to picture someone like Noelle being tricked by her own sister and mother. They had even taken Noelle's boyfriend and given her to Simon against her will.Her brother Cody had filled her in on all the details about Winter last night. Annie had doubts before, but she knew her brother was telling
The Cherished Wife Chapter 352
Holding Winter's hand, Annie said, "Winter, I hope you and Xavier stay together forever and never ever grow apart.""Thank you!" Winter felt something was off about Annie but could not quite figure it out. Maybe it was just her frightening face. "Annie, I'm really sorry about what happened. Noelle is my sister, but I never thought she'd do something like this to you. I don't expect you to forgive her, but today's my wedding day. If Noelle shows up, please don’t give her a hard time. I’m begging you!""Don’t worry!" Annie quickly reached out to Winter. "I promise I won't bother Noelle today. Don't let my problems come between you and your sister. I'm not that important.""Uh… You two can continue chatting. I'm going to welcome the guests." Jade could not stand being there any longer. Annie might be Winter's friend, but her face was so frightening to look at.Winter felt the same way. She never expected Annie to show up looking so terrifying.Once Jade was gone, Winter went to fix h

"Hey, come over here and see me," Noelle said, waving them over to sit down. Peter had taken Sean and Charles outside, leaving Tania feeling relieved and at ease. She sat down with Bran next to Noelle and asked, "So, Kelly knows what's going on with you too?"Noelle nodded. "Yes, she does. That's why she didn't just come to visit."Tania nodded, understanding. She glanced at Noelle's belly, her eyes filled with concern and a bit of worry.Noelle caught the look and reassured her with a smile. "I'm not too worried, you know. You've been okay for three years now."Tania's smile faded a little. She kept to herself that she had not had any problems because she had not faced any triggers. However, Noelle had faced something that set off her condition last time, which was why she got sick so quickly."Right, then it should all be fine. I think my brother just wants to make sure you're okay by having you in the hospital. So, you might as well make the most of it and get him to spoil you
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1555
Tania shook her head. "It's nothing. I just thought Kelly was acting a little weird, that's all. Come on. Let's go see how Noelle is doing!""Sure!" Peter agreed with a nod. He watched Tania take Bran by the hand and head into the hospital room. Peter's eyes lingered on the spot where Kelly had just been, and it took him a moment before he turned and followed them inside.Sean had finished drawing blood and noticed Noelle looking a bit pale. "Why don't you lie down for a bit or have some candy?" Sean offered, pulling a few pieces from his pocket and reaching out to Noelle. However, Charles blocked his hand. "They're so dirty. You can't give those to Noelle!""Hey! Who are you calling dirty? What's dirty about them?" Sean was clearly annoyed by Charles's fussiness. "Look at you, all finicky. Kelly didn't mind when I gave her some after her blood test!"Charles squinted at him. "They're dirty.""Come on, you..." Sean said, rolling up his sleeves like he was ready to throw down with

Kelly laughed softly in agreement. "Yeah!" With the way Charles treated Noelle, he was sure to be wonderful with kids too! She just had not expected him to go so far for Noelle's sake.With a casual glance, Sean suggested, "Let's head inside."Their movement caught the attention of the people inside. Noelle looked up to see Kelly, and Seth spotted her too. He shouted, "Mommy!" and scrambled down from Noelle's lap, eager to run to Kelly.Charles was quick to catch Seth, saying, "Careful!""Everything good?"Charles asked Sean if everything was set, and Sean nodded. "Yep, we should have the results by tomorrow morning!" Then he added, "Noelle, I need to give you a quick check-up now." As he said that, a nurse came in with a cart. Sean grabbed a syringe and looked at Noelle.Noelle nodded and held out her arm without flinching.Sean smiled. "You're so brave. I almost don't want to do this.""Come on. Less talking, more doing!" Charles said, getting a bit impatient. Sean raised a

Sean was not worried at all. Kelly was part of the Smith family now, and she had not done anything really bad. He had no hard feelings toward her, and deep down, he was actually happy to see her getting along with Noelle."We'll head over in a bit! However, just so you know, we won't get the test results until tomorrow at the earliest, and I can't promise how well you and Noelle will match up."Kelly nodded. After popping a candy in her mouth, her dizziness started to fade. She looked at Sean with a serious face. "About what Charles said... The virus injection thing..."Sean was caught off guard. "You... You know, you could say no. Noelle wouldn't agree to it if she knew."Kelly shook her head firmly. "Please,l don't tell Noelle!"“But...""I'll be okay, I've already talked it over with Charles."Sean realized arguing was pointless, Kelly had made up her mind. He gave a resigned smile. "Alright, but we have to wait a little longer. Noelle still needs to have her blood taken, and

Kelly was a bit surprised initially, but then she got what Sean was asking and nodded. "Sure. We can do it anytime!""Great. Come with me for a bit!"When Sean whispered something to Kelly and she started to leave, Noelle stopped them. "What's happening?""Oh, I'm just taking Kelly to the lab to check on something. Don't worry," Sean explained to Noelle. "Kelly is your real sister, and her blood type is a perfect match for yours."Noelle looked at Kelly with mixed feelings. "Kelly, the truth is...""Don't worry. Charles, can you please watch Seth for a little while? I'll be back in no time!" Kelly said as she gently caressed Seth's cheek. "Seth, I'm going to run some errands with your uncle, okay? You stay here and have fun with your aunt and uncle Charles, alright?""Mommy, where are you going?""Just to the hospital. I'll return before you know it!" Kelly gave Seth's cheek a soft squeeze. "I've got my phone with me. If you miss me, just give me a call!""Alright!"Once Seth

"What are you two chatting about?"Sean was the first to push the door open and walk in. He saw Noelle and Kelly talking, and the sisters seemed to be in a good mood.Charles followed with a plate of pumpkin pie. When he saw the child in Noelle's arms, his expression softened.Noelle was softly touching Seth's cheek. When she saw Charles and Sean enter, she smiled and said, "Oh, it's just girl talk. That's not something for you guys to worry about.""Okay!" Charles nodded and walked over with the pumpkin pie. He cut a couple of slices and handed them to Noelle. "Margaret said this was okay for you to eat!" Then he gave the rest to Seth.At first, Seth was shy around Charles and seemed too nervous to speak. However, after seeing Noelle and Kelly's encouraging glances, he reached out, took a slice, and popped it into his mouth.The pie must have been delicious because after Seth finished one slice, he could not resist reaching for another, though he still looked at Charles cautious

Noelle gently pulled Seth into her arms, her fingers softly caressing his cheek and little head. "Kelly, about Seth's father…"Kelly paused for a moment before replying, "I don't know who he is."Noelle nodded and, with a perceptive sense of tact, decided not to press the matter further.The two sisters chatted about anything and everything the entire morning. Their topics ranged from mundane to absurd, yet with each exchange, their bond seemed to deepen, drawing them closer than before.Meanwhile, in the adjacent hospital room, Charles and Sean silently watched the two women and the child through a monitor. Their mutual silence, rare for the pair, was charged with unspoken tension.Sean held a detailed analysis report of Noelle's medical condition in one hand, alongside Harrison's blood sample results."Shirley hasn't shown up. It seems we can't count on her. Harrison's blood analysis shows no immediate issues, but you know as well as I do that his body can't—""I know," Charle
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1549
That would mean Charles had met her before she saved him, which explained why he looked so shocked when he woke up that day.Though Charles never said anything, his behavior toward her during that period was exceptionally kind. Whatever Kelly asked for, Charles would agree to it.Kelly stared at Noelle, who appeared just as puzzled. From what she remembered, she had met Charles only after Xavier's betrayal. Before that, Charles did not exist in her world—at least not in her memory.Given how extraordinary Charles was, Noelle did not believe her memory could be so bad as to forget someone like him. She could not fathom not remembering their first meeting.Noelle pressed her lips together, looking troubled.Seeing her expression, Kelly quickly interjected, "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I was just curious. It's not something I'm fixated on."Noelle shook her head. "There's nothing I can't share; it's just strange. I can't seem to recall when we first met. Accordi
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1548
Kelly felt a bit startled by Charles' sudden attentiveness. Even at the height of their relationship, Charles had never shown such consideration toward her.His polite and gentle demeanor now seemed almost surreal, making her feel like she was seeing a completely different person.However, Kelly quickly realized that this shift was likely due to Noelle. She nodded and replied, "Yes, we've already eaten. What about you and Noelle?"Charles nodded as well. "We've eaten."Yet the atmosphere remained somewhat strained, likely because of his presence. Kelly harbored complicated feelings toward Charles—she no longer loved him, but having once been obsessively infatuated with him, she could not help but feel awkward.Charles, perceptive as ever, glanced at Noelle. She smiled and said, "Charlie, I've been craving something sweet, especially those pumpkin pies from Celia's Bakery. Could you go buy some for me?"Charles looked deeply into her eyes, his expression softening. Feeling a littl
