Simon swirled the wine in his glass, taking confident strides toward Noelle. "Ms. Shaw, it's been a while," he greeted her.Noelle was surprised to see Simon in such a setting. Her astonishment was evident in her eyes. Raising an eyebrow, she looked at Simon and said, "Mr. York!"Frankly, she had not expected Winter to invite Simon to her birthday.Noelle's impression of Simon was far from positive; her previous encounters with him had led to some dangerous situations. His presence at this event only heightened her suspicions about why Winter had insisted on her attending.Frowning slightly, she asked Simon, "Are you close with my sister?"Simon raised an eyebrow in return. "No. To be precise, it's you and I who are more familiar with each other, no?"He gave her a suggestive look, his eyes lingering over her in a way that made Noelle uncomfortable.Seeing the clear disdain on Noelle's face, Simon's eyes briefly flashed with something unreadable before he quickly masked it. "You

Noelle stayed in the restroom for a while longer before she finally decided to leave.When she returned to the banquet hall, most of the guests had already gone through at least one round of drinks.Winter seemed to be in high spirits, moving around to entertain everyone. The women were clustered in groups, chatting about fashion and gossip, while the men discussed business or entertainment venues.As soon as Noelle walked back in, Winter's gaze immediately fixed on her. Winter glanced over at Annie, who gave her a subtle nod of confirmation.With that, Winter felt reassured and walked over to Noelle. "Noelle, where did you go? I thought you might have left early!""How could I? It's your birthday. I wouldn't leave before you cut the cake," Noelle responded, casually glancing around the room.Sure enough, she saw Suzy engaged in conversation with Simon, who was watching her with that same unreadable expression.Noelle felt uneasy under Simon's intense gaze and quickly looked awa

Winter exchanged a glance with Annie, who nodded and then looked over at Noelle.Noelle noticed Suzy and Simon leaving and pretended to feel dizzy, stumbling a few steps. Winter quickly came over to support her. "Noelle, what's wrong?"Noelle shook her head and smiled weakly. "It's nothing. I probably just drank too fast. I'm fine.""You're still saying you're fine when you're in this state? Look at you. Come on, let me help you rest for a bit. We won't be cutting the cake just yet. We're waiting for your brother-in-law to arrive," Winter said in a caring tone. "Let's go.""No need," Noelle refused, shaking her head. "It's your birthday today. It wouldn't be right for you to leave. I'll just sit here for a bit."Winter appeared to hesitate. "How about this? I'll ask Annie to take you to the rest area instead."She gave Annie a subtle look. "Annie, could you help take my sister to rest?""Of course!" Annie responded, moving to support Noelle. "Come on, I'll take you over.""Than

Xavier originally did not want to attend the event. For him, such gatherings were just a source of frustration, especially with the kind of people Winter had invited.Although he knew them all, he did not particularly like any of them. However, Winter was now his wife, and he couldn't simply ignore her. Besides, the thought of seeing Noelle today ultimately persuaded him to go.Winter was in the middle of talking to Annie when she saw that Xavier had arrived. She immediately rushed over to him and wrapped her arm around his, greeting him with a sweet smile. "Xavier, you're here!" she said cheerfully."You worked so late. Are you tired?"Xavier initially felt a bit reluctant, but seeing the smile on Winter's face and remembering that it was her birthday, he forced a smile. "I'm not tired. But I do hope you're not upset that I'm late.""Of course not! You're working hard to support us, so how could I be upset?" Winter responded, her tone oozing with affection. "Xavier, a lot of my f
The Cherished Wife Chapter 445
"Alright!" Annie agreed readily. After Winter and Xavier had walked far away enough, a few others approached Annie and began chatting. "I heard that Noelle and Winter never got along since they were kids. Seems like there's a story there!""Do you remember what happened a few months ago during Winter's engagement party? Noelle caused quite a scene, claiming that the sisters were fighting over the same man. It even made the news.""Really? I didn't know about that.""Annie, do you know any details?""Why do we need details? Let's just follow them and see what's going on! I have a feeling something interesting is about to happen!"The group chatted amongst themselves, and soon, they all decided to follow along. Annie was the last to move.She quickly called Noelle, asking where she was and whether she had already left.At that moment, Noelle was in the restroom. She had initially planned to leave, but after reconsidering, she felt too unwilling to go. She wanted to see exactly wha

Winter's face immediately flushed red. "Maybe... we got the wrong room. She must be somewhere else!"However, Xavier's expression darkened, becoming almost terrifying. He stared at the door with his fists clenched tightly. Even his eyes were bloodshot. Frightened by Xavier's expression, Winter hurriedly said, "Xavier, let's check somewhere else!""It's your birthday, and this entire floor was reserved by me," Xavier growled through gritted teeth. "How could there be anyone else in here?""But..."Seeing that Xavier was about to push the door open, Winter quickly blocked his way. "Xavier, calm down. It might be a mistake. Don't do anything rash," she pleaded, noticing his expression growing more ominous. "Noelle isn't like that. She...""Move aside!""Xavier, don't!" Winter insisted, grabbing his arm and shaking her head. "Xavier, please. Others are coming!"Xavier looked up to see that most of the people from the party had gathered nearby.He scowled deeply and glanced at Win

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Noelle, sharing the same disbelief. It seemed as though they had all assumed that the person in the room was Noelle, so seeing her standing in front of them left them stunned.Noticing their reactions, Noelle looked around curiously. "Why wouldn't I be here? Wasn't it Annie who brought me here to rest?" she asked, turning to Annie.Annie quickly snapped out of her daze. "Yes, I did bring you here to rest, but you...""This is impossible, Noelle. Aren't you supposed to be in that room? That room..." Winter's mind was in complete chaos. She could not figure out where things had gone wrong.Annie had confirmed that Noelle was in the room, and Suzy had supposedly led Simon in as well. What was going on?"Why is it impossible? I was in the room resting, but I started feeling unwell from drinking too much, so I went to the restroom," Noelle explained.She then looked around the crowd, asking, "Why are you all gathered here? What are you doing?"Winter's f

The chaos of the scene dragged on for quite a while, with some people stepping in to separate the three involved. Meanwhile, others merely stood by and enjoyed the spectacle. Noelle simply stood coldly at the doorway, watching the absurdity unfold.She felt no sympathy for Suzy because if Noelle had not been forewarned, she knew she could have been the one suffering this humiliation. However, what Noelle could not fathom was how far Winter was willing to go to target her.Noelle's gaze grew increasingly icy as she looked at Winter. She clenched her fists silently, but inwardly, she had already decided Winter's fate.Winter was completely at a loss. She watched as Suzy curled up on the floor, her entire being in a state of shock.Though Suzy was now covered with clothes, her face was swollen and disfigured. Her hair was in disarray, and her arms bore visible marks of abuse.As Winter moved closer, Suzy panicked and pushed her away, shouting, "Don't touch me! Don't touch me!""Ev

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
