Noelle bit her lip. "When Winter found out that Xavier was somewhat related to you, she was already trying to take advantage of it. If they find out about our marriage, won't they keep pestering us?"Maybe you don't mind, but I do. I don't want anything to interfere with our relationship."She clasped Charles' hand tightly, as if afraid he might misunderstand. He then interlocked their fingers. "You have to trust me, trust in us, and most importantly, trust yourself. How could I be ashamed of someone as outstanding as you?"Charles smiled when he heard her explanation, his lips curling slightly. He glanced down at their tightly interlaced fingers, and there was amusement glinting in his eyes.He was not truly angry; he just did not like the idea of sneaking around. However, as he listened to Noelle, he realized she genuinely wanted to protect their relationship from unnecessary complications.Seeing that Charles' expression had softened, Noelle breathed a sigh of relief. "I've alr

Dinner was prepared by Charles that night. Since Noelle had been very busy lately, especially after starting to learn under Brian, she found herself constantly short on time.In contrast, Charles seemed much more relaxed, almost as if he had all the time in the world. It would make anyone who did not know better think he was just idling his days away.Noelle worked for over an hour before glancing at the time and finally heading downstairs. Charles had just emerged from the kitchen when he saw her massaging her neck as she descended the stairs.He waved her over and said, "Come on, wash your hands and let's eat!""It smells so good!" Noelle exclaimed as she caught a whiff of the food.As she got closer and saw the spread, she remarked, "This is a lot! Can the two of us even finish all this?" There was clearly enough food for several people. However, Charles simply glanced at her and said, "You've gotten too thin, especially with how busy you've been lately."Noelle pouted. "It'

As Noelle thought about it, she pondered for a moment. "What was Winter doing at your garden house?"Teresa replied, "What else? She just met up with a few people from her old clique. It seems they're planning a birthday party and will be inviting old classmates."Since she's busy with filming and can't handle everything herself, she's getting some friends to help organize it. Don't you think she's getting a bit carried away?"Noelle smirked. "Probably." Only Noelle knew that Winter had always been like this.This time, Winter likely wanted to throw a big party for another reason. It was because she had married Xavier.Noelle could almost picture Winter inviting her just to take the opportunity to humiliate her as she would not miss such a chance.Noelle was engrossed in chatting with Rowena and Teresa. As she turned over in bed, she noticed Charles sitting at the foot of the bed, though she was not sure when he had gotten there.His legs were casually positioned, with one hand
The Cherished Wife Chapter 434
Noelle's suspicions were confirmed—Winter indeed would not miss any chance to humiliate her.While Noelle was out with Brian on an inspection, she received a call from Winter. Winter mentioned that her birthday was coming up in a few days and that Noelle, as her only sister, was expected to attend.In the past, Noelle might have attended the event out of consideration for the family and Winter's reputation. However, the current Noelle was different. Even if she decided to go, she would not allow Winter to bully her like before.After hanging up the phone, Noelle's expression remained calm. Brian noticed her silence and assumed something was wrong. "Noelle?"Noelle snapped out of her thoughts. She tucked her phone into her bag and opened her notebook to continue working with Brian. However, it was clear that her focus had waned compared to earlier. "You seem off. Is something wrong?"Noelle shook her head. "Nothing major. By the way, you mentioned earlier that the higher-ups want t

The wind outside was strong, and Noelle was dressed rather lightly. When she heard Xavier's words that were carried over by the wind, she almost thought she had misheard. "You're looking for me?"Xavier nodded as he glanced at Noelle. She seemed thinner than he remembered, which made him a bit concerned. "You've lost a lot of weight."Hearing this, Noelle frowned. "If you have something to say, just say it."She glanced around impatiently, adding, "It's work hours."Xavier's face stiffened slightly, his expression becoming somewhat awkward. "Noelle, do we really have to be like this?""And what do you suggest we do, dearest brother-in-law?" Noelle narrowed her eyes with a cold smile playing on her lips. "If you don't have anything important to say, I'll be heading back.""Noelle!" Xavier called out and sighed slightly. "I know you're still angry with us, but what's done is done."He regretted it deeply, but he understood that things between them could never go back to the way th

Charles furrowed his brows slightly and rubbed his temples. "With such a grand display at the entrance of Collosus Group, do you think I wouldn't find out?"Noelle pressed her lips together. "Don't be like that." She could tell Charles was upset. "You know there's nothing between us. He just came by to deliver an invitation.""An invitation?" Charles frowned. "What kind of invitation? Are they celebrating something again? Planning to get married a second time?" His tone was filled with displeasure and disdain.Noelle understood that if it were not for her, Charles probably would not even acknowledge Xavier's existence. In Charles' mind, he was not worth his attention.However, hearing Charles' comment, Noelle could not help but burst into laughter. She still had the invitation Xavier had handed her. "You actually guessed right."Winter had given this to her, likely to remind her that she was now married to Xavier.It was just that sometimes, Winter's thinking seemed off. She woul

"Alright!" Winter watched as Annie helped to greet the guests, then cast a cold glance in her direction.Suzy walked over and whispered, "Simon is here too. Are you sure you want to go through with this? It's Simon we're talking about. If he decides to pursue this, it could get messy!"Winter scoffed. "What are you afraid of? I've done my homework. Simon's not that high up in the York family's hierarchy; he has an older brother overshadowing him. He can't cause too much trouble. Besides, isn't this what he enjoys? I'm actually doing him a favor."Winter smiled, taking Suzy's hand. "You don't need to do anything, just keep an eye on Simon.""Mr. York, you're here!" Winter then hurried over to greet Simon as he approached. The other guests made way for him as he walked by.While some of Winter's old classmates might not know Simon, the young socialites certainly did. Simon was infamous in their circles for his wild lifestyle.Simon approached Winter with his alluring eyes. His gaze

Noelle arrived alone at the party.Winter had not invited Rowena or Teresa this time, so Noelle had already guessed that Winter had something special planned for her. It was likely to embarrass her in front of everyone.She figured that would be the extent of Winter's little gift as it was probably the most someone like Winter could come up with.When Noelle arrived at Winter's birthday party, most of the guests were already there.Winter spotted Noelle from a distance. She was dressed in a camel-colored coat over a light-colored dress, looking quite striking.Winter's eyes darkened with envy, but she reminded herself that Noelle would be crying soon enough, and that thought brightened her mood. She walked over, taking Noelle's hand in a show of sisterly affection. "Noelle, you're finally here! I thought you weren't going to come today.""How could I not?" Noelle calmly pulled her hand away from Winter's with a serene expression. She reached into her bag and took out a gift box

Noelle was speechless.Could someone please tell her why there was such blatant favoritism between two children born to the same parents?The people nearby had also noticed the situation, and soon, muffled laughter spread through the crowd.Even Yves and Kelly could not help but chuckle. Charles was clearly a devoted husband and a doting father—but only to his daughter.As for his son… It seemed Connor now had the lowest rank in the family.Yves shook his head and glanced down at Connor, who had stopped crying. The little boy simply stared at Glitter as if watching her intently.Noelle sighed, feeling both exasperated and amused. Was Charles being biased? Connor was just as adorable!Meanwhile, on the other side of the hall, Clarisse had previously reached out to Liliana in private, hoping she would return to the family.At first, Liliana had remained noncommittal. Later, even Maxwell had personally approached her, expressing his desire for her to come back, admitting that the

"What else could it be?"Noelle did not even need to look to know exactly what Charles was up to. She sighed as she glanced at her sister, who was still oblivious.Meanwhile, Yves and Charles seemed to have reached an agreement on stage. The two men shook hands before stepping down together.Charles walked straight to Noelle's side and, without hesitation, took Nora from her arms. The moment Nora saw him, her bright eyes sparkled with excitement.She let out a series of delighted coos, clearly overjoyed to be in his arms. She was barely a month old, yet somehow, she was already showing favoritism.Noelle could not help but feel a little jealous. She had been holding Nora just moments ago, yet the little one had not shown this level of enthusiasm.Pouting, she reached out and gently pinched Nora's cheek. In response, Nora turned her head away, ignoring Noelle entirely. Instead, she snuggled into Charles' chest, continuing her happy babbling.Noelle scowled. "Hmph, ungrateful litt

Charles chuckled. "Are you sure?"Yves narrowed his eyes and leaned in close, lowering his voice so only the two of them could hear. "Charles, what the hell are you up to?"Charles smirked. "Nothing much. I just want to make sure you're certain about this."His gaze suddenly shifted toward Kelly. "Tell me, do you think my dear sister-in-law might find someone better?"A sharp glint flashed through Yves' narrowed eyes. "Charles, aren't you afraid I'll take over Collosus Group entirely?" His teeth clenched as frustration flickered across his face.Charles simply shrugged, utterly unbothered. "I'm just afraid you won't.""You—" Yves could feel the vein in his temple pulsing.He never expected Charles—renowned for his ruthless decisiveness—to be such a schemer! He was utterly devoid of a moral compass. "Where is your conscience?"Charles arched a brow. "Can't help it. I have a wife and kids to take care of. I don't have time to waste.""And I do?" Yves shot back, clearly irritated

Before Winter could even finish her sentence, a series of rapid knocks echoed from the front door of the Shaw residence.Within moments, the door was violently forced open as a group of uniformed police officers stormed inside."Mr. Shaw, Ms. Shaw, this is a search warrant," the leading officer declared as he held up a document. "And this is an arrest warrant. Ms. Shaw, you're under arrest for attempted murder. Take her away!"With a subtle nod from their leader, the officers moved swiftly. Winter was subdued before she could react.For a moment, she was too stunned to struggle. It was not until they had escorted her outside and shoved her into a police car that she finally snapped back to reality."You can't arrest me! Let go of me! I didn't kill anyone!" she screamed, her voice filled with desperation.However, it was no use. She was quickly taken away. Meanwhile, Julian was also arrested for harboring a fugitive.All of this unfolded within a single night. By the time most pe

Through Janet's eyes, Milo seemed to see her mother again. It was the same clarity in her gaze that had appeared the moment she took her own life years ago.A sharp pain shot through Milo's chest, but before he could react, Janet's knife had already plunged into him."Monster! You're a monster! It's because of you that Charlie doesn't want me anymore! He abandoned me!"No matter what she did, Charles would never take her back.At that moment, Janet was utterly consumed by despair. She watched as blood gushed from Milo's chest, staining his clothes in deep red. Then, suddenly, she burst into hysterical laughter."Let's go to hell together!""You…" Milo's eyes widened in shock. He stared at Janet in disbelief.Then, as she pulled the knife out, he collapsed."Milo!"Raphael stood frozen as he watched Milo fall. Blood spread rapidly around him, pooling onto the floor in an uncontrollable flood."Somebody! Somebody call an ambulance! Call an ambulance—now!"His panicked screams

"My child, where is my child? Where is the baby Charlie and I had? Give my child back to me!"Janet's eyes locked onto Milo, and she immediately rushed toward him. "Father, give me back my baby! Give them back!"She clutched at Milo with frantic desperation. Her long, untrimmed nails, sharp from neglect, scraped deep into his skin, leaving red, bloody gashes across the back of his hand. "Father, where is my child?""That's my child with Charlie… Where is Charlie? Why isn't Charlie coming to see me?"Milo sucked in a sharp breath, startled by Janet's unnatural strength. However, the moment Janet turned and spotted Raphael, her expression darkened even further, and her gaze turned menacing."You… You old bastard! Give me back my son! Give him back!"She lunged at Raphael, gripping his arm and yanking at him violently.She was like a rabid animal, stronger than any of the doctors or caretakers combined.Janet ran wildly around the living room, knocking over furniture as the doctor

"Hmm? What's that supposed to mean?" Sean asked in confusion. "What exactly are you doing?""Nothing," Charles replied, his expression returning to normal. "What was the situation in Capiton before? The timing of Janet's breakdown doesn't seem right."It was not quite what he had expected, but it did not affect his plans.Sean smacked his lips. "Haha, speaking of that, you should ask that little brat Linda. Her acupuncture skills are seriously impressive. Just a few needles and she did more damage than the medicine I prepared!"He had to admit that the drugs he had mixed up were practically useless compared to what Linda had done. "But that little girl was pretty ruthless with it!""Ruthless?" Charles' gaze turned sharp. "Compared to what they have done, Linda went easy on them."If Noelle had suffered any real harm, he would have wiped the Bakers off the face of the earth.Sean caught the murderous intent in Charles' expression and raised an eyebrow. "So, what's your plan? Keep

Noelle nodded and pushed open the door to Connor and Nora's nursery. "What do you think, Mom? Charlie started working on this room as soon as I found out I was pregnant. Everything here, from the decor to even the smallest details, was his doing."Clarisse smiled as she stepped inside. Her gaze swept over the room, filled with warmth and tenderness. Her eyes grew misty as she took it all in. "It's beautiful—truly wonderful."Walking over to the crib, she saw the two babies fast asleep. Their tiny arms and legs were slightly lifted in the air.Noelle chuckled as she approached. "They sleep like this all the time. The doctor said it'll get better in a while."Clarisse nodded but could not hide a trace of guilt. "I never really took care of my own children after they were born. No wonder they aren't close to me now."There was a hint of regret in her voice.Noelle pursed her lips and then said playfully, "I was actually thinking about going back to work once I recovered. But what ab

Noelle placed the paper in front of Clarisse like she was presenting a treasure. Clarisse was slightly taken aback. Although her relationship with Charles had improved, she still felt a bit uneasy when facing her own son.At this moment, Noelle was acting as a bridge between them. It might not seem like much, but Clarisse understood that Charles' willingness to be even slightly cordial with her was largely because of Noelle.Her son was fiercely devoted—especially when it came to Noelle. Clarisse had started to see her in a new light.At first glance, Noelle seemed rather ordinary. But over time, her good qualities became more apparent. The more Clarisse got to know her, the more she realized just how remarkable she was."Mom, look! Charlie put so much thought into this," Noelle said while beaming."Yes… he really did," Clarisse murmured, her eyes growing slightly misty. The sadness she had felt earlier because of Milo had eased, replaced by a strange sense of warmth as she gazed
