The man had on a silver-colored suit with the collar of his white shirt peeking above his suit, and it made him seem extremely tall and elegant. He cast his gaze downward to the woman standing before him without even an ounce of emotion in his eyes.The woman had on a white-colored evening gown, and as she stood beside the man, the two seemed to make a striking pair. The man seemed to have an innate ability to attract everyone’s attention. Thus, both he and the woman became the object of everyone’s attention after she came to stand beside him. It was not just the Collosus Group employees present but also the celebrities under Royal Star and the influential figures of the Hoffman family, who all had surprised looks on their faces when they saw Winter walking toward Charles. Everyone directed their attention toward Charles’s expression. The man did not say anything but merely pursed his lips together as he curled the corners of his lips upward into a slight smile. His dark-colored e

Winter stumbled several steps backward as Janet shoved her away. Thankfully, Suzy, who was there with her, reached out and steadied her. Suzy leaned toward Winter and asked, “Are you alright?” A somewhat embarrassed look appeared on Winter’s face as she shook her head. "I’m alright.” Then, she steadied herself and drew in a deep breath as she turned to Janet. "Young lady, may I know who you are?” “You’re the young lady. Your entire family are young ladies.” Janet’s impression of Winter was not a favorable one, and she immediately shot back at Winter upon hearing what she said without attempting to save her any grace at all. Then, she turned to Charles and said, “Charles, who on earth is this woman? Why is she addressing you as her uncle? We grew up together, but why haven’t I ever seen this woman?” Janet refused to back down, and a fire seemed to roar in her eyes as she said, “Don’t think you’re all that just because you’re well-dressed. Since everyone in the Hoffman family and t

Clarisse let out a cold laugh. "So, that's who you're referring to? But who told you he's related to us? Not everyone named Hoffman is part of our Hoffman family."As soon as Clarisse said this, Winter's expression became even more rigid. She froze and bit her lip, looking rather awkward.Throughout the entire exchange, Charles did not say a word. He simply observed the scene with a detached expression, allowing everyone to talk without intervening.Charles' demeanor made his stance clear—he was never one to be controlled by anyone. Winter's attempt to manipulate him was obviously not up to par, and Charles had no interest in engaging with someone like her.Realizing this, Winter quickly grew fearful. It turned out Charles was indeed just as the rumors described, and she realized she had made a misstep today.Not only had she miscalculated, but she had also embarrassed herself and dragged down Joseph and Xavier with her.Winter gritted her teeth, trying to think of a way to salva

"But…" Winter could not stand it. She had indeed made a name for herself at this event, but not in the way she wanted. It was a blow to her pride, especially with that wretched Noelle present.Winter glanced over at Noelle, who was chatting with the man next to her. Her eyes flashed with irritation. She discreetly took out her phone, snapping a few photos of Noelle.Suzy noticed and asked, "What are you doing?""Nothing!" Winter quickly put away her phone and then looked in Janet's direction. "Who exactly is that woman?""Didn't you hear her greeting Charles' parents just now? If I'm not mistaken, she should be Janet Baker, Charles' uncle's daughter.""Janet Baker…" Winter gritted her teeth, making a mental note of Janet's name. She would make sure Janet paid for the humiliation she suffered today."Just hold your horses for now. Charles didn't say anything more earlier, and it seems he doesn't particularly like Janet either.""Really?" Winter's eyes brightened. "If that's the c

Noelle watched Janet from the audience, appreciating her beauty from a purely aesthetic perspective.Arya, who was seated beside her, was equally mesmerized. "I didn't expect her to be this pretty," Arya remarked."Yeah." Noelle nodded. She then noticed that Brian, who was sitting next to her, did not seem to be paying attention to Janet at all. Curious, she asked, "Don't you think she's beautiful, Mr. Parker?""Just another pretty face," Brian replied, barely glancing up. "Compared to her, I think you're much better looking." He said this while seemingly engrossed in a conversation on his phone.Noelle could not help but smile at his compliment. "Thank you for the praise," she said. Out of the corners of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Brian's phone screen and realized he was chatting with Teresa on WhatsApp.She was surprised.Noticing Noelle's glance, Brian calmly placed his phone face down, cutting off her view. He smirked slightly. "Peeking isn't exactly polite, you know."

As soon as Becky finished speaking, the entire venue erupted in cheers. Everyone knew what kind of person Charles was, and the chance to dance with him was an incredible honor."Of course, every lady present has an equal chance. Even the celebrities from Royal Star have their own number cards," Becky continued as her assistant handed out the number cards to the Royal Star artistes.Brielle, Winter, and the others were taken aback, surprised by Collosus Group's unique approach this year. Brielle, who had been with Royal Star for some time, rarely had the opportunity to meet someone as prominent as Charles. Naturally, she was filled with excitement.She glanced around at the others, noticing the same look of anticipation on their faces."Now, let's have my assistant bring the box up," Becky announced.The assistant promptly brought the box to the stage and stood respectfully beside Charles. Becky approached and said, "Mr. Hoffman, please draw the first lucky employee of the evening.
The Cherished Wife Chapter 630
Janet's face lit up with a smile, and she was just about to step forward when she suddenly froze. When she registered Charles' words, her expression shifted to disbelief. She stared intently at the number card in Charles' hand as he playfully asked, "Who's the lady with number 520?"Everyone began to look down at their own number cards, but no one responded.Charles glanced around. "No one?"Winter and Brielle also checked their numbers, only to find they did not match. Disappointment spread across their faces."This can't be happening! It's impossible!" Janet could no longer hold back and rushed forward, snatching the card from Charles' hand.Upon seeing the number on it, she shouted, "This can't be real! How is this possible?"Charles turned slightly. "Why not? What's so strange about the number I picked?" His cold voice rang out as his dark eyes fixed on Janet.Realizing her behavior, Janet quickly clenched the card in her hand and shook her head. "No, Charles. I didn't mea

Janet pointed at Noelle and stammered, "C-Charles, s-she's…"A hint of displeasure flashed in Charles' eyes as he glanced sideways at Janet. He then shifted his gaze toward Clarisse in the audience. Clarisse wore an expression of shock. If it had not been for Mateo holding her down, she might have lost her composure."Mother, I think Janet is tired from hosting. Why don't you take her to rest?" Charles suggested.Clarisse snapped back to her senses and shot Noelle a sharp look. Noelle felt puzzled under Clarisse's piercing gaze.Moments later, Janet began shouting hysterically, shedding her earlier poised demeanor. "No, Charles. I won't leave! This woman is a vixen. Have you forgotten what she did to betray you back then? How can you—""Enough!" Clarisse rushed over and grabbed Janet's arm tightly. "What nonsense are you spouting?" she hissed.Leaning closer, she continued in a low voice, "Look carefully. This woman is not Kelly. Do you not understand the importance of this occas

Brandon wiggled in Peter's arms, pouting as he protested, "No way, Daddy! I missed you so much that I couldn't even eat properly. Daddy, feel my cheeks—they've lost all their chubby cuteness!"Peter smirked coldly and pinched Brandon's cheek. "You've gotten chubbier.""Daddy, if you keep saying that, I'm going to be mad!" Brandon huffed, crossing his arms in a dramatic show of anger."Alright, Daddy's had a long flight and must be tired," Tania interjected with a sigh. "Come here, sweetie. I'll carry you!"She reached out to take Brandon, but Peter shook his head. "I'll carry him."Though Brandon pretended to be upset, he was clearly delighted to be held by Peter. He grinned and asked, "Daddy, you've been away for so many days. Did you miss Mommy and me?""I did.""Oh my gosh!" Outside the car, Linda's jaw dropped as she stared through the window at the family. Jeremy held her by the collar like she was a disobedient puppy."Oh, my idol! How could you be so gentle? Is that your

"To save someone.""Save someone? I can do that too! My medical skills are exceptional, way better than my brother's!" Linda puffed up her chest confidently. "Leave it to me!""You?" Jeremy raised an eyebrow in disbelief. Looking at Linda, who seemed no older than 16. She hardly looked like someone with any medical expertise.Peter, however, took her words seriously and gave Linda a closer look. "You're saying you know medicine?""Of course, I do! Didn't you see what I was doing yesterday? I was extracting viruses from those people. Don't think the Holts only have my brother, Saxon, as their star! I'm great too!""Fine. If that's the case, you'll come back to the country with me," Peter replied without a trace of doubt.Peter did not question Linda's claims. After all, the Holts were a family of renowned medical practitioners. It was not surprising that Linda would possess such skills.Since Saxon could not be located, bringing Linda back seemed like a sensible plan. Her skills

Linda's wide eyes sparkled with admiration as she stared at Peter, her face full of awe. "Peter, you're amazing! You're even better than my brother!"Peter frowned, his expression as cold as ice as he looked at Linda.Jeremy slapped his forehead, thinking to himself, 'This girl must be an idiot!'Of course, he did not dare say it out loud. Instead, he held back his laughter and glanced at Peter.He had wanted to warn Peter earlier that this Linda girl was not normal. Ever since she learned Peter's identity the day before, she had been acting completely out of the ordinary."Ms. Holt, I'll need you to come back to the country with me," Peter said flatly."Okay, sure!" Linda immediately jumped to her feet. "Peter, wherever you go, I'll follow. You don't have to worry. If you tell me to do something, I won't even have other thoughts!"Peter was utterly baffled."You really must be an idiot." Peter's words were sharp and unfiltered.Tania had experienced Peter's sharp tongue first

Now that they had Linda as leverage, Saxon would undoubtedly come. Even if Saxon did not show up, someone from the Holts certainly would.As the only girl among the Holts' younger generation, Linda was extraordinarily pampered. It was said that the Holts spoiled her to the heavens. Otherwise, how could Linda have dared to come to a war-torn place like Francoria on her own?Peter truly had no qualms. Despite Linda being just a girl, he had gone so far as to tie her up.…The next day, when Jeremy went to check on Linda, he found her with her hands still tied behind her back.Surprisingly, she was not struggling. Instead, she lay on the bed like a log, completely motionless. She did not even notice Jeremy entering the room.The truth was that Linda had been utterly exhausted. Since arriving in Francoria, she had been constantly on edge and was unable to relax. While she might be a member of the Holts, no one cared about your family name in a war zone.Linda valued her life and had

Linda's big, sparkling eyes glimmered with mischief as she smiled at Jeremy.Jeremy suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. His gut told him this little girl was full of schemes. "No way. Mr. Lennon specifically said I can't untie you!""But I'm still a minor! I'm just a little kid! You've tied me up too tightly. Look at my wrists, they're red and bruised!" Linda blinked her eyes pitifully. Her expression was almost heartbreakingly innocent as she stared at Jeremy.Jeremy, however, was completely unfazed. He was like a blind man ignoring her performance. "Nope. Without Mr. Lennon's orders, you're staying tied up like this."Linda quickly changed her approach. "Oh, big guy, don't be like that!"Seeing Jeremy about to leave, she tried to lunge at him. However, with her hands tied, she could not grab onto him. Jeremy instinctively stepped aside, and Linda ended up falling flat onto the ground with a loud thud."Oh, my chest! My flat chest is going to cave in!" Linda shouted, glari

Jeremy's laughter froze on his face, and his head started to throb as he stared at the girl before him. "You're so young. Why do you have to say such mean things?""If you don't like it, just cover your ears. I didn't ask you to listen!" Linda rolled her eyes. "Hey, what do you want with me anyway? I'm not worth your trouble. If you want my brother, go find him. Leave me out of it!"Linda yelled at Peter, but he ignored her and went into the room, giving Jeremy a knowing look. Linda's eyes bulged in disbelief as Peter left her there, shouting and finally bursting into tears. Still, Peter did not come back out.Jeremy massaged his forehead. He would not have let Linda be if he had not heard Peter call her Ms. Holt and guessed she might be connected to the Holt family, especially since she mentioned her brother. He sighed and looked at her. "Listen, young lady, Mr. Lennon isn't going to bother with you.""Mr. Lennon? Who cares about Mr. Lennon? Pah!" Linda was too angry to care. "Jus

"If you won't lead me to Saxon, then you're coming with me!"With that, Peter grabbed Linda, restrained her, and tied her up in the vehicle.Linda felt like crying, but no tears came. On the other hand, Peter did not seem to care about being gentle or kind. He gave Linda a quick look, then grabbed the cloth bag she was holding and tossed it to the ground."Hey! That's everything to me! You... You..."Before Linda could say more, Peter covered her mouth. "Ms. Holt, if you won't lead me to Mr. Holt, then you'll just have to come with me.""Go?" Where were they going?Linda's mouth was covered, and she could barely make a sound.Peter tied Linda up good and tight, then casually picked up a cigarette and held it between his fingers, looking at Linda with interest. "The Holt family just lost a daughter. What do you think they'll do?"Linda's eyes went wide. She could not believe this man could be so low and vile.Peter saw the look in her eyes. He tapped his finger on the window si

Linda had that idea to study the same thing as Saxon and prove she was just as good, if not better. However, things did not go as planned. She had been waiting for a group of people, and when they finally showed up, they were all killed.Stuck with no other choice, Linda started to examine the bodies. What she did not expect was that someone would notice her so quickly. She had worked so hard on her disguise. How could that man see through it right away?Linda felt like crying but had no tears left. "Listen, mister, there are so many people you could catch, why are you after me?"She scratched her head, on the brink of a meltdown. "I can't let my brother find out I'm here, or I'm dead!"There was no way she could bring Peter to Saxon, she would be in big trouble if she did.Peter had finally found someone connected to Saxon, and he was not about to let her slip away that easily. "Do you know how to heal?"Linda eyed Peter warily, unsure of his intentions. Peter was amused by her

The kid shivered when he saw Peter's piercing eyes. "I don't know where he is!""You're lying!" Peter said, spinning a scalpel in his hand with a smile that did not reach his cold eyes. "If you don't take me, let's see if you can run faster than my knife can fly!"Peter pretended to throw the knife at the kid, who shook with fear and quickly gave in. "I'll take you!"Peter raised an eyebrow and put the knife away. "Move it!"The kid did not know who Peter was, but after seeing what he could do, he did not dare say no. "Not just anyone can meet Mr. Holt!""Oh, really?""Yes!""Where are you from, sir?" the kid asked Peter in Spanyric."Zyphonia!" Peter answered, then looked at the kid and said, "You've been hiding behind that mask for a long time. Isn't it time to take it off?"Surprised, the kid did not react fast enough, and Peter quickly pulled off the mask, revealing a young and innocent face underneath.She had a soft and detailed face, like that of a girl around fifteen
