Chloe laughed at Clarisse's words, but her gaze remained cold. "How do you think I should speak to you, Mother?" she asked, her icy gaze making Clarisse momentarily afraid, much like when she looked at Charles earlier.Charles gave Clarisse and Janet a dispassionate glance before saying, "Anna's already sleepy. Let's go, Chlo. I'll take you home."He then left with Anna, not looking back.Chloe smirked, feeling a twinge of satisfaction at Clarisse's pale face. "Mother, you should rest early. I'm leaving now."Chloe came with a driver since her husband, Jordy Charlton, was on a business trip. She only learned of her mother's return when Charles called her.Outside, Chloe saw Charles putting Anna in his car. She hurried over and said, "Charlie, let me take Anna. I brought the driver today."Charles nodded. "Sure. You should head home soon. I'll be on my way too.""Charlie!" Chloe called out, hesitating before sighing. "Our mother has been away from Brookville for so long. It's nor

Noelle stood up, pointing at her own slippers. She then raised one foot close to Charles', wiggling it in the air. "Look, these are mine. We have a matching pair! Don't you think they're lovely? Aren't they pretty?"As she swayed her foot, Noelle grabbed Charles' arm. However, her movement was a bit too enthusiastic, causing her to nearly lose balance. Luckily, she held onto his sleeve. She giggled sheepishly as she repeated the question, "Don't you like them?"Just then, Noelle's hopeful gaze met Charles' eyes. He narrowed his long eyes slightly, then gently tapped Noelle's nose. "I do like them.""If you like them, put them on quickly!" Noelle urged.Faced with Noelle's eager anticipation, Charles could only put on the slippers with a resigned smile. "Did you go to the mall alone?""Nope!" Pleased with Charles's cooperation, Noelle wrapped her arms around his neck. She stood on tiptoes to kiss the corner of his mouth, then hung onto his neck with a grin. "I invited Peter and Sea

Charles' eyes flickered as he gently kissed Noelle's forehead. "How did I lie to you?" he asked softly."You said just once. But how many times was it?" Noelle mumbled with her eyes half-closed. "Hmm? I think you misunderstood, my dear," he replied with a slight smirk. Noelle protested weakly, "Next time, you're sleeping in the guest room.""Come on, don't fall asleep yet. I'll carry you for a bath," Charles whispered in her ear, but Noelle was already drifting off. "I'm so tired," she murmured.Charles shook his head in amusement. He then carried her to the bathroom.Meanwhile, she kept her eyes closed the entire time and eventually fell asleep.After bathing her, he gently placed her back in bed and tucked her in. He then changed into casual homewear and went to his study.In the study, the desk was cluttered with blueprints and data sheets. Charles picked one up, his eyes narrowing as he examined the calculations. With a slight smile, he sat down, marking key points on the

Meanwhile, Suzy had spent several days at Cody's suburban villa. During this time, she turned off her phone, avoided all social media platforms, and essentially cut herself off from the outside world.She did not even dare to turn on the television, fearing that once she did, the unbearable images would flood her mind and overwhelm her.In just a few short days, Suzy tormented herself to the point of becoming almost unrecognizable. She despised Winter, but at the same time, she felt utterly helpless.On several occasions, she even contemplated ending her life, no longer wanting to face the world. However, the thought of dying while Winter continued to live well made her reluctant to give up.Annie was the most frequent and only visitor who knew Suzy's whereabouts during these days. She came almost every morning, noon, and night but never stayed for long. Suzy knew Annie meant well, but she did not want to see anyone, not even Annie.On the fifth day of Suzy's self-imposed isolatio

"Suzy, stop crying. I came to tell you that this matter has been resolved. No one outside knows it was you, Suzy," Annie said excitedly, grasping Suzy's hands. "Look into my eyes, Suzy. Everything I just said is true.""That's impossible!" Suzy stared into Annie's eyes. Thinking she must have misunderstood, she blinked again. However, Annie's eyes looked clear and sincere, showing no signs of deception. Suzy's resolve began to waver, but as soon as she thought about the videos and images that actually existed, she shook her head. "Annie, don't try to fool me. This can't be possible. We both know it was real, that...""Suzy, listen to me. It was an accident. No one planned it. And all those videos online have been deleted. The ones that were leaked earlier were all blurred out. No one knows the person in them is you. "People were just speculating, but now, someone else has revealed that it's someone else in the videos."Annie grabbed Suzy's shoulders, forcing her to look into her

Suzy looked up at Annie's face hesitantly. "Annie, do you resent me for not helping you in time back then?" She was referring to when she and Winter saw those people taking Annie away but did not intervene."Let's not talk about the past. I wasn't there when you were in trouble either!" Annie patted Suzy's hand. "Come on, let's eat!"Perhaps because a weight was lifted from her heart, Suzy's mood improved considerably. She ate two full portions of the meal before putting down her cutlery.Still concerned, Annie opened her social media forum for Suzy to see. Suzy searched for news about the recent incident and found no trace of it. That was when she finally believed Annie."See? My brother said those rich kids from last time also promised they deleted all footage and would keep quiet about the whole thing. Can you relax now?"Suzy nodded. "Thank you, Annie. Really, thank you!""We're best friends. This is what I'm supposed to do. But I'm going abroad in a few days. My brother foun
The Cherished Wife Chapter 489
Annie could not help but sigh. Although she had her reservations about Winter, she knew that Suzy and Winter were once good friends.She remembered that neither Suzy nor Winter had been entirely friendly toward her in the past. Hence, Annie had assumed that even after such an incident, Suzy's relationship with Winter would not have deteriorated this much.However, seeing Suzy's resolute attitude, Annie decided not to press the matter further.Suzy pleaded, "Annie, please don't think badly of me. I just can't take it anymore. She's upset with Noelle, but why should that affect us?"Annie reassured her, "I understand, Suzy. I won't judge you. To be honest, I was also very resentful toward Winter during that time. I couldn't understand why she treated me that way. But now, I've moved past it. My only focus is to go abroad and get my face fixed.""When are you leaving?" Suzy asked, feeling relieved after getting that weight off her chest. "I'll see you off when the time comes."Annie

The quiet place Winter mentioned was Homestyle Garden House. She had visited it a few times with Emilia and Jade and indeed found the environment pleasant and tranquil.After getting in the car, Winter made a reservation. She then led Suzy to the place.It was Suzy's first time there. She frowned slightly but followed Winter inside. Winter chose the innermost room, which others rarely passed by, ensuring their privacy.Considering the severity of the recent incident, Winter was worried about its impact on Suzy, despite it being censored online. "Suzy, this place is usually free of those people. It's mostly frequented by refined, wealthy ladies… So about that day—""Enough!" Suzy interrupted. "I don't want to discuss it anymore. There's no need to keep bringing it up."She then took a deep breath.Being from a distinguished family, Suzy was adept at brewing tea, a skill her mother had insisted she perfected.As she prepared the tea, Suzy forced herself to remain calm. "I know the

Sean felt a deep irritation rising within him. Savannah always assumed that Liliana was still clinging to him, unaware that she had long stopped loving him.Now, she probably wished he would disappear from her sight altogether. How could she possibly still be chasing after him?Yet every time Savannah spoke like this, it felt like a knife twisting in his heart, making it even harder to bear.He desperately wanted to find an escape, some way to let go, but he could not do it no matter what he did. He simply could not bring himself to let go.To Savannah, his impatience only added to her displeasure toward Liliana. "I'm talking to you! Are you even listening?" she snapped. I don't care what that woman does. I'll never approve of your relationship with her, so you'd better give up!"Sean's eyes remained fixed on his phone. On the screen was a private message from Charles. It was a video taken just moments ago in the Hoffman family's living room, where they had been discussing Liliana

Liliana flinched slightly. "Grandpa, I'm really not in a hurry right now.""How can you not be?" Maxwell sighed. "Look at the rest—they're all married. You're the only one still single in the Hoffman family. How can I not be worried?"He let out another heavy sigh, shaking his head. "I'm getting old. I've spent so much of my energy worrying about you all."Liliana could not help but smile wryly. "Grandpa, don't say that. I really have been thinking about it. Once Bobby recovers, I'll take my future more seriously.""Really?" Maxwell's eyes lit up. "Well then, don't you worry about Bobby's illness. If you don't want to go to the Smith family's hospital, that's fine. I'll find an even better hospital for him."I'll make sure someone takes care of it. You just focus on yourself, and leave the rest to me."Liliana chuckled. "Alright." She gently patted Bobby's back, soothing him as he drifted off to sleep.Once he was completely asleep, she stood up. "Grandpa, Bobby is asleep now. I

Yves had no objections. If anything, he was eager to marry Kelly as soon as possible. With a smile, he nodded and instinctively glanced at Kelly.Kelly, however, was caught off guard as she looked around at everyone in confusion. She had not expected the conversation, which had been about Noelle and Charles, to suddenly shift to her and Yves.She had been trying to minimize her presence, but somehow, Maxwell had turned his attention to their relationship.For a moment, Kelly felt flustered. "I…""Kelly, what are you still thinking about?" Maxwell said persuasively. "Yves is such a good man. Besides, you two already have a child, and Seth is growing up fast. Do you really want him to grow up without a complete family?"No one knew where Maxwell had picked up his knack for emotional persuasion, but his words left Kelly speechless.Seeing her hesitation, Maxwell turned his gaze to Seth, who stood between Yves and Kelly. "Seth, tell Great-Grandpa—do you like Daddy?""I do!" Seth nod

"What are you talking about, Grandpa?" Noelle protested, clearly displeased. "You have to stick around and watch the little ones grow up!"Maxwell chuckled, delighted by her response. "This girl always knows what to say! But you and Charlie have been married for so long without a wedding or a banquet. Now, you don't even plan on hosting a proper celebration for the babies. What's the point of me staying around if I can't see these things happen?"Noelle was momentarily stunned. She had not expected him to steer the conversation in this direction, leaving her at a loss for words.Maxwell's statement quickly gained support from the others. Mateo and Henry both agreed that a wedding should be held."Exactly! You two have been married for ages, and there are still plenty of people out there who don't even know Noelle is part of the Hoffman family! Now that you've had kids, isn't it time to make things official?"Mateo turned to Charles. "And you, kid—say something! Your wife gave birt

Charles had done everything he could to help, but the emotional knot between them was something he could not untangle. If Liliana ultimately chose to walk away, he would step in to put a stop to Sean's silent pursuit.Yet every time he looked at Liliana's face, he was reminded of that gentle woman he had once sought out in the misty waterways.The Hoffman family had wronged her, yet she never harbored any resentment. Instead, she had only one request, which was for him to take care of Liliana, to watch over her, and to ensure she lived a safe and peaceful life.That woman had never asked for anything in her lifetime. In her final moments, her only wish was for Liliana to grow up in good health, without longing for wealth or status.Liliana seemed to sense someone watching her. She lifted her gaze but saw no one, so she quickly looked away, shifting her attention back to Bobby.She reached out and pinched his chubby little cheeks. "Do you like Uncle Charles' Phoenix Tree Residence

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
