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

The two of them became the focus of everyone's attention. Not just the women, but even the men could not help but admire the sight of them together.At first glance, Noelle's outfit seemed plain, almost disrespectful for such an important event as the year-end banquet. Yet when she stood next to Charles, there was an undeniable harmony.Both were dressed simply, yet somehow, they stood out remarkably.In the center of the dance floor, the music began to play. Charles placed his hand on Noelle's waist, gently guiding her. Noelle was wearing three-inch heels, which made her the perfect height beside Charles.They moved gracefully across the dance floor in perfect sync, as if they had been dance partners all their lives.Noelle smiled, initially worried that her dance steps were rusty, but she quickly found her rhythm. It was all thanks to Charles' confident lead.Charles gazed down at her, as though she was the only person in the room. "Nelly, what do you think of your husband's da

After the opening dance, Charles gracefully withdrew his hand, his smile polite but distant. Noelle also pulled back, nodding slightly before stepping away. As soon as Arya saw Noelle leave Charles' side, she eagerly waved her over."Noelle, over here!" Arya called out.Noelle nodded, smiled, and made her way through the crowd to Arya's side. Arya quickly grabbed Noelle's hand, brimming with excitement. "Oh my god, Noelle! I can't believe how lucky you are—it's unbelievable! So, how did it feel? Dancing with Mr. Hoffman, what was it like?"Noelle felt a bit overwhelmed by Arya's enthusiasm. Arya was clinging to her arm. Noelle gently pulled away as she felt slightly awkward. "It was... just like any other dance. Mr. Hoffman dances really well, and... that's about it.""That's it?" Arya exclaimed, her voice so loud that it attracted quite a few glances.Noelle hurriedly covered Arya's mouth. "Shh! Keep it down. Don't you realize I've probably become public enemy number one right
The Cherished Wife Chapter 634
After Noelle danced with Charles, many people stopped paying attention to her, though that did not include Winter or Janet.Winter fumed with resentment, unable to understand how Noelle could have such good luck. She felt bitter, thinking how could Noelle always land on her feet?Winter recalled how Noelle had been fired by Frotconn, as well as how she had narrowly escaped danger multiple times.In Winter's mind, Noelle should have been ruined by those incidents. However, not only did Noelle avoid those pitfalls, but she was now working at Collosus Group, one of the top companies in Brookville.In comparison to Collosus, Frotconn was nothing. As much as Winter hated to admit it, this was the truth.Clenching her purse tightly, Winter's eyes glowed red with anger.On stage, Lara, a newcomer who specialized in dance, was performing an energetic dance routine that quickly captivated the audience.Meanwhile, Brielle was chatting with her manager, discussing how to perform their next

"You should be focusing on how to present yourself well right now. Don't forget, your performance is coming up, and this could be your shot at that endorsement. Didn't you see how well-prepared Brielle is today?"Suzy continued to speak as she handed Winter a glass of water, "If you can't endure minor issues, you'll ruin your bigger plans. You're smart enough to understand that, Winter."Hearing Suzy's words, Winter finally suppressed her anger. "Alright."…Backstage, Janet grew increasingly restless. She could not stop thinking about the things that had unfolded. However, with the two bodyguards that Charles had assigned watching her every move, she could not go anywhere.Clarisse, who was with her, also noticed Janet's escalating agitation and felt at a loss.Janet had many good qualities, but her temperament was peculiar—just like her mother's—which always troubled Clarisse.She originally thought that raising Janet by her side would help change her nature, but she forgot th

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
